Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?
Chapter 11 Adventurer Strengths
For the next three days, under the title "Assuming all kinds of situations", everyone in the Adventurers Department continued to tease me with their hands.
In the training on the third day of the training camp, other adventurers dealt with traps using monster trains and smelly bags of monsters on the stage of the appearance of D-ranked monsters on the twentieth floor and above.
Of course, no fool attacked directly with a card, but the traps and monster trains set by other adventurers were legally a grey zone more than black, so I couldn't say no.
Adventurers are not explicitly prohibited by law from setting traps or monster trains in the labyrinth because it can be common in a space called the labyrinth.
As for the monster train, I can't be an Alliance that says, "If you keep running away from the monster, you'll die enough to form a monster train and inconvenience other adventurers."
Regarding traps, countering more and more powerful enemies than yourself with a trap is considered one of the adventurer's skills, and even if you get caught in a trap set by other adventurers rather than wandering through the labyrinth that originally filled with traps, it is basically judged careless to get caught.
Still, it is obvious that acts such as setting monster trains and traps aside are nuisances, so if evidence of such acts is seized, strict attention may be taken from the Alliance and others, and in malicious cases, suspension of license qualification may be imposed.
... but I rarely get caught as a criminal.
These acts are basically missed only if they are clearly maliciously targeted. The exception was the installation of traps in an F-ranked labyrinth that was not originally trapped, which was expressly prohibited by law.
Few people would do this during a race that is always filmed, but not all of them.
Therefore, I was forced to deal with the adventurers after being planted with monster trains, and deal with malicious traps without the lethality of Anna or the weave.
In the fourth day of training, we trained to escape 50 meters or more from other adventurers within three minutes.
In this race, the more you basically fight, the more disadvantaged you get. Your cards just run out, and your rivals keep going while you're fighting. Sometimes those who challenge fishermen immediately after a battle for profit will show up.
For that reason, training to escape other adventurers… especially those who formed a gang and attacked them was essential.
In the middle of this training, my master also joined as a professional hunter. Of course, it's a private surprise for me. Naturally, there was no escape for the first time, and I was completely beaten up. I was unilaterally beaten because I was forbidden to use Lotus and Athena because there was a difference in my skills with my master, but I assumed a difference in my strength with the professional. One mentor is the best member, including Aradia. There was no way I could win.
That night, I was harassed so that I could not sleep by being alone in the camp and being exposed to noise and light alternately by the three of them.
Day five. Today, the last day of the camp, we trampled from the fifteenth level to the lowest level of the Lord as a sum up until now in a state of sleep deprivation. It started not from one level, but from fifteen levels, because it couldn't be broken in half a day.
On the way, there were simulated monster houses with monster trains and smelly bags, as well as Anna and Weave raids, and even the Master's pursuit.
It was during the assault against the Lord that I managed to escape from them, sometimes to fight and reach the lowest levels. That's how hard it was to deal with Anna and the Lord at the same time, so I had to choose an escape. Moreover, after that, as a matter of course, a duel was arranged from the weave.
However, it was fortunate to realize that there were no advantages to fighting the Lord before the show. The last labyrinth, with the exception of the last labyrinth, is better off fighting the Lord than pushing other adventurers.
There are 150 stars in the succubus with zero drop skill, so I'm good if I'm in third place or higher. I wanted to take first place if I could get it for sure, but in some cases I could give up the first place in each labyrinth.
"----Here's the reflection point of the simulated race and the basic policy in production. Have you noticed anything else?
That night.
Having completed one course of training, we had a reflection meeting and a live operational meeting as a summary of this camp.
"I don't think so. Well, I guess I could have done something for a limited period of time. It's up to Malo to do his best."
"I don't have anything in particular. All you have to do is count on your own responsiveness."
I bowed my head again to the words of Weaver and Master.
"Thank you for doing this for me for days. I really appreciate it."
"If you want to thank me, it's a good thing you won the race. Take a winner interview or something to raise the profile of Senpai and the Adventurers Department a little bit. That should benefit us all."
"Oh, okay."
Anna snorts her bread and palm as I nod.
"Now that the camp is over, let's finish with a little recreation and disband!
"Recreation... what are you doing?
"Summer! Accommodation! When you come to the sea... it's fireworks!
Anna pulled the fireworks out of her tent and said so with a full smile.
... fireworks. We look up at the sun shining directly above us even at nine o'clock at night.
"... with this brightness?
When we look at Anna with our pathetic eyes, she ticks! I shook my finger with a subtle feeling of annoyance and said.
"You don't think we're thinking about that?
"Ah... I see, I'll leave the labyrinth once and do it in front of the convenience store. Well, isn't that nice?
Then the cards won't be able to participate!
Then we'll have to do it in the light after all.
"Right... right! That's why it's here!
That's what she uncarded and took out was an old giant injection rope.
The syringe rope was as big as a man, nearly ten meters long, and as huge as I've ever seen.
Is it some kind of magic device...? And when I observe it magically, as Master noticed something, Pong! And I rang my hand.
"Ah! Maybe that's... Tenwado's rope?
"Did you know that Senpai Shinto?"
Anna smiles nicely.
Master, what is Tenwado's injection rope?
"It's one of the magic tools that has been discovered recently. I wonder if one of the so-called field modification magic tools could make the weather in that hierarchy last about an hour at night?
I glanced at my master's words.
"The field-modified magic artifact... isn't it a chaotic and expensive one?"
Any field-modified magic item that can rewrite the hierarchical environment to be convenient for your card has a minimum price of over a billion. The highest is the type that can change the terrain such as "sea" and "mountain", or the type that changes the weather to "day", but since there are many cards that demonstrate their abilities under conditions such as "rain" and "night", there was no cheap field modification magic equipment.
I didn't expect you to bother bringing that stuff out for fireworks... but this guy still feels a little out of place.
"Fufufu, but this was not a big price at the time because it was bought for research by the Seventeen Nights Moon House before it was still worth it. I was told that I borrowed it from the warehouse when I was staying at the inn."
Oh, I see... the recent discovery of usage means that it has been treated as an item of unknown use for nearly twenty years at a low price. Is that what you say?
Some speculators buy magical instruments of unknown use in anticipation of increasing value by knowing how to use them in this way, but I hear that most of them are cheaper than when they are bought because they have had garbage in binary sentences for many years and it turns out that it is not very effective.
'Unknown usage' means' it is possible to transform ', and the magic equipment adds a certain value to the unknown. Sometimes that turns out to be less valuable.
In other words, it is a kind of chatter.
But....
"If you want fireworks, you can honestly go to the labyrinth at night. It's such a powerful trick to deliberately turn the sea of day into a night."
"In the labyrinth of night, you can't enjoy the sea of day this time! I want a memory that we enjoyed the sea with all the adventurers and their cards! Memories come from one of the few things you can't buy with money!
"... I see."
Hmm, somehow, there's no way our director can be anything but Anna.
Looking at Anna's pale eyes, without losing any shards, I was convinced of her wonder.
In the darkness lit only by the full moon light and the tent lamp, brightly colored flaming flowers bloom.
I suddenly murmured when I saw the hand-held fireworks changing the colors of red, blue, green and flame over time.
Beautiful ~
"That's right....."
The weave sitting next to me nods.
"You know what, seniors? In fact, recent fireworks don't even disappear in the water."
"Seriously!? Is that a magic tool?
"No, it's chemistry. Everything contains oxygen-generating chemicals."
Hee ~, it's a craftsmanship.
This fireworks we're casually enjoying is also a crystal of the efforts and flashes of various people...
Looking at the blurry fireworks...
"Maro, you don't look so good."
My master told me.
"Is there something wrong?
"Ah, no...."
I didn't know whether to say it or not for a moment, but I decided to end up saying it.
Because I thought perhaps Master would eliminate this moyah in my chest.
"Actually, I don't have any strengths as an adventurer."
"Adventurer strengths?
"For example, if you're a weaver, you're good at strategizing, planning operations, or reading the psychology of your opponent, right? Master has a high level of skill as an adventurer... and I don't have that kind of skill."
"... I see."
Weave, who was listening to the conversation between me and my master, looks suspicious.
"Senpai, I think the strength of being strong against adversity is the flash in the last place....."
"No, I don't think that's what Malo is talking about. In other words, you're talking about the thin character of an adventurer, right?
"Yes, that's what it looks like."
I nodded strongly at my master's words.
For example, if I express my strength as an adventurer in three ways: link, strategy, and quality of cards, I think that none of them is better than all of the adventurers in the middle.
And it was the only of these three qualities that could be substituted with money.
"Hmm, I think the Adventurer has four powers, not three."
"Four?
Yeah, I mean, you're training cards.
……………………
"Recently, things have been changing, but it is still mainstream in Mongolia not to train cards, but to use the cards obtained several times in the game to resell them. Because it adds a lot of value just because it's a card used by professionals on TV. And because gladiators are the most visible adventurers, the ability to cultivate cards tends to be neglected in amateurs, sometimes without immediate results. It's quicker to get stronger cards than spend months mastering your skills. But...."
"But?"
"I think the ability to nurture cards is as important a qualities as the talent of links. Fighting power, innate skills, and acquired skills are just a fraction of the cards' superficial power, and far more power is sleeping behind them. Especially when I look at Malo's card."
Master said so, staring deeply into my eyes.
"Malo's Adventurer's strength is growing cards really well."
Well then....
I smile bitterly...
It's a plain power.
"But it's senpai's power."
Weave said that with a slight smile.
Enjoying fireworks like that.
"Senpai, take a look at the night!
When we turned around, Anna stood there with fireworks in both hands, playing Anison with a music player.
Looking at what was going on, Anna waved her hands and danced.
It was Anna who performed a stunning trick with her clean moves...
"Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!
Naturally, if you shake the fireworks, most of the sparks will fall on you.
Anna danced brilliantly to the end, raising her angry voice.
"... well, how was it?
"Oh, oh... that was amazing. But...."
"Anna, aren't you hot...?
"Did you get a burn or something?
That's what we're worried about.
"It must have been chaotic and hot! Or rather, it hurt already! But it was fun, wasn't it?
"Oh, oh."
Anna, I'm so tense...!
Unexpectedly sends a gaze of admiration.
"Already, Master. It's too hasty."
Elf Tanya tells Anna to embarrass herself.
"Didn't you get a dilution like you did in practice?
"It's fireworks, so it's cool! Burns and burns can be prevented by the card barrier and are only hot for a moment, so it's okay, it's okay!
"Already....."
... I've never seen a conversation between Anna and Tanya before, but it feels like a relative's sister.
It seems a little surprising.
Afterwards, as she enjoyed the fireworks safely with Anna and the others, she heard a noisy voice from the wave blower.
"--Take it! Snake King Flame Kills Black Dragon Break!
"Hyah!? Hey, Lotus! Don't shoot rockets at people!
Mei ran away screaming with her, and Lotus chased after her with a rocket fireworks.
Lotus looks like a kid all at once... Sometimes I look so grown-up... and I look at it.
"Um... Master, are you sure you don't want to stop?
Yuki tended to hesitate to ask.
"It's okay. Mea's laughing too."
"Ah... I see. Then it seems good to leave it alone."
That said, Yuki lit the rat fireworks and threw them.
... that's all you've been doing since before.
"Yuki, do you like that?
"Yes, it's kind of funny."
Hmm... sure felt pretty interesting the first time I did it.
Now, when the others looked around and saw what they were doing, they saw Eliza and the Suzuka with the incense fireworks.
Well, this is a rare combination, and I'm walking towards you.
"Ah, here comes the master who abandoned me the other day."
Suzuka, who noticed me, said to grudge.
Does he still have his roots in the first day of camp?
"I told you about that because I wanted you to have the courage to jump into everyone's circle.
"As a result, I was deeply wounded.... you know how I feel when the quiz ends just as soon as I join?
"Oh, yeah... I'm really sorry about that."
I lowered my head honestly.
But I don't think that's a good way to mix with you, either. And the first voice said, "You don't even know how easy this is? I understood right away" Well then...
And "There's a woman who can't read the air. Would you like to finish here? Athena was too tight.
Suzuka, who was left alone on the spot and trembling on her shoulders, was so pitiful.
"Still, Eliza and Suzuka are an unusual combination."
"Jesus, Master. Since becoming Princess Hashiba, I've been talking about how I can learn Suzuka's skills because there are a lot of good things that cannot be changed."
Eliza is really keen on studying... Where the hell do you think you're going?
Suzuka looked at her like that and murmured in a distracted manner.
"You're not going to tell me when my job is gone...."
"Why? Masters will be delighted to see that the overall power of the party improves."
A jealous demon stared at by a blush red eye makes his face twitch.
Eliza with no shards of selfishness and a lump of monopoly. The opposite would be unusual.
"... I've wanted to ask you before, why would Eliza want to acquire such a skill? When new people join, I'll go first and ask them if they can master the skill."
"That's...."
Eliza rarely answered my question.
"Because that's the first feeling that sprouted in me. When I was still a goular, I saw the face of a master who was delighted to see a new skill in me, and I certainly felt delighted."
I felt like I had been enlightened when I saw Eliza talking like she was a goulah.
With what she knew before she woke up to herself, I always thought I knew everything about her, but it was a terrible surprise.
I can't believe that Eliza was thinking about that and that there was a point of origin where she wanted to learn her skills...
"... that's fine."
Suzuka murmured.
"In particular, you can only teach Eliza your skills.... but I'm not sure how to tell you."
"Suzuka...."
Thank you very much.
Eliza shook her blonde hair and lowered her head.
It was kind of a lukewarm air, and we kept on playing incense fireworks silently for a while.
And then...
Sempa ~ cum! Give me a hand with that!
Anna called me, and when I went there, it looked like I was setting up Niagara Falls.
We will work together to install Niagara Falls, an extra-large two-stage, 10-meter wide waterfall.
Last time she pulled a long lead, Anna started counting down on the candlestick in one hand.
"Five, four, three, two, one, zero!
The conductor sparks violently and ignites all the cylinders in an instant.
At the same time, Niagara Falls begins to pour sparkling rain.
Ooh...!
On a scale that I don't think I've done personally, there's an unexpected cheer.
First red, then green, blue, and spark waterfalls that change color for each area.
I was attacked by an intense nostalgia as I watched the bright light.
Speaking of which, I wonder how many years it's been since I've had fireworks with my friends like this...
When I was in elementary school, I did it many times a year with my friends during the summer, but I stopped doing it at all after I went to junior high school.
That's why, when I do fireworks, I strangely recall the most enjoyable time as an elementary school student.
When there was still no boundary between men and women, a mixed group of men and women cycled to the woods, many stations away, and built a secret base with tree branches and cardboard.
It is a nature reserve where fluorescence is also cultivated. When the area gets dark, one or two fireflies sometimes get lost at the secret base near the creek.
While we were all obsessed with it, it was so late that the bags got mad at us.
... Daisuke, what did he do now, when he definitely thought we were best friends? I went to middle school and became completely alienated when I decided to go to a separate section.
Now, I can't get in touch even if I go out to Moncolo like this.
Speaking of which, I liked Miyuki at the time. When I went to middle school, I went out with a senpai who had a bad reputation for Yankee, and grew up with great momentum.
... oh, yeah. I found out why I didn't use fireworks. Because this reminds me of the most enjoyable days of elementary school.
Unconsciously, he felt afraid of fading his pleasant past, so he avoided fireworks.
But that too...
"--- What do you think? Isn't it beautiful? Don't you think it was worth the effort to turn the day into the night?
Anna, who was standing next to her, smiled as if she were peeking down. A proud, childish smile like an elementary school student.
"Ah, it's beautiful....."
----But that's the last of it today. I don't recall my elementary school days as the most enjoyable summer memories of my life.
The most enjoyable summer memories of my life were painted today.
Next year's fireworks will remind me of today's fireworks.
This is how our first camp this summer ended.
