The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The time goes back about six months from the examination day of the hero prep school.

There is a person who has to do something that he or she does not want to do with his own power.

"Is it a temporary teacher at Adventurer School?"

For the "true" Randolph, an S-class adventurer from the Orbaum Kingdom, it was school employment.

"Yes. Of course, it's not a normal adventurer's school. I'd definitely like to ask for a temporary lecturer at the hero prep school where I am the principal."

It is not unusual to ask Randolph for a noble family. An elven woman with a dignified appearance, but with a good-looking appearance but wanting to express herself more than a beautiful woman.

Although they are often the third and fourth girls or less, children of the aristocracy are also enrolled, and many of the graduates are C-class or higher. Only those who have a certain level of talent or who have supplemented their talents with effort can only reach them. He is the head of the school that reaches the territory.

He doesn't speak directly to politics or the military, but his voice exceeds that of the earl and marquis.

"So you can move your head up and down silently, land"

"Don't use the nickname of the adventurer era, Meorilis"

He was a former A-class adventurer who was active at the same time as "True" Randolph, and occasionally formed a party together and went on an adventure.

Randolph is known as a solo, adventurer who often worked alone, but is not without his partner with other adventurers. Among them, Meorilis is best known as a female adventurer with Randolph.

"Don't tie, you've been on passionate nights over and over again. The scent of the morning tea you brew was exceptional."

The speculation that Meorilis is a Randolph's lover, inner-married wife, and mistress is circulating gently, and is now half-openly treated as a secret.

In a play with Randolph as the main character, Meorilis is played as an heroine by an actress on an iron plate, and the minstrel said, "I can't imagine being a couple. It's the best, "he sings plausibly why they didn't get married.

After Randolph retired the adventurer, the royal aristocrats were credited with allowing the elf, Meoriris, to be the principal of the Heroes Preparatory School, in order to maintain ties to Randolph.

"Don't lie. Did you forget that every time I brewed herbal tea, I complained that my nose was going to bend?"

And that was a fact to a large extent.

Since Randolph is also a man, he has libido. And in many ways, a peer, like Meorilis, who had close abilities to me was better than a woman with a nobleman or a merchant behind him trying to connect with him.

By the way, the reason I did not get married was personality mismatch. I couldn't imagine being able to live and stay together during the day, not just at night. each other.

"I just said I was exceptional, but I didn't remember it was good.

Anyway, the period is about two years from now. Thank you

"Wait, I don't remember taking it. Did you forget to say that you didn't do it again before?"

Randolph had previously worked at her school as a lecturer on request of Meorilis. However, he is retired in search of adventurers, and active adventurers and children who want to be adventurers do not like to be involved.

Adventurers are also dangerous jobs with high mortality. Whether you are talented or gifted, that is no different.

Training boys and girls to tailor the adventurer was not a pleasant job for Randolph. …… It ’s still better than the job requested by a nobleman.

And there's a reason you don't want to do it mentally.

"Do you dislike young people who shine their eyes on ideals and dreams because they overlap with old self?"

"... That's right."

Randolph complains to Meorilis with his eyes, if he can look forward to everything. In my heart, while cursing my past light-hearted self telling a dream story.

"It's a past that I didn't know, and I knew that I could return to my hometown if I had the skills and money."

Randolph's hometown was a settlement of elves in the forest. It was a simple but rich family that harnessed nature and had only a small interaction with human society.

Their peaceful days were destroyed by a reckless run away from the forest. The overgrown swarm of monsters set their sights on the forest where the Randolphs lived as their next home.

There were several skilled archers, spirit sorcerers, light fighters and fighters in the settlement. However, there were too many demons to endure.

At the expense of many sacrifices, elves, including young Randolph, fled the forest. And the people who interacted with each other ... Relied on the Orbaum Kingdom.

Randolph vowed to regain his hometown someday. And he was talented enough to remember his vow.

As an adult he became an adventurer and continued to raise himself without hitting the wall, earning money and becoming a B-class adventurer in less time. However, because he was an elf and grew slower than his race, his native forest had become a magical site, and dungeons had occurred.

But the monsters could be defeated by Randolph alone, and only a few needed to cleanse the demon and dungeons.

In order to purify magical areas and dungeons, it is necessary to thoroughly remove the monsters that are the source of the element. Even if you defeat the strongest lords and bosses in magical areas and dungeons, if the small fish such as goblins and horn rabbits remain intact, the contamination by the arsenal will not stop, but will not disappear.

Eventually, a new lord will appear at the Makai, and new bosses will appear in dungeons within days to months.

For this reason, monsters and dungeons must always be free of monsters or be kept below 1 percent. In the meantime, by purifying, the Makai becomes a normal land and the dungeon collapses. The time required for purification depends on how much pollution has progressed.

In the case of a magical territory, such as the Demon Continent, which has greatly changed from its natural form, this method does not tell how long it will take. However, it only takes a few days to create a monster like a forest that was the hometown of Randolph, and other than that of a natural forest.

Randolph had enough connections and money to recruit colleagues to cooperate for the next few days. He talked to the guild for recruiting colleagues, paid a high price to the temple, asked for a priest, and called on his fellow fellows. He believed and doubted that he could regain his home.

However, that expectation will be disappointed.

A herb found only in Makai, a magic bullet for certain incurable diseases, has been found in the hometown forest that has become a Makai. From the dungeon that occurred, there was a level where mines of mythril and adamantite could be mined.

Both are now key industries in the forested Dukes, and have been waiting for Randolph's cleanup business.

In that case, even if the adventurer's guild was invented by B-class adventurer Randolph, cooperation would not be possible. Forests and dungeons are also hunting grounds for many adventurers, and few of them have personally helped Randolph.

The Temple of Arda, eager to eradicate demons and purify the evil spirits, has become impatient to purify the forest of Randolph's hometown. "I can't afford to rob people of their lives. There are other dangerous perils and dungeons to purify more than that."

And most shocking to him was that none of his fellow fellows tried to cooperate with Randolph.

It's been about 100 years since the forest became a magical site. It was not a short time for the elves, they were laying the ground for a new base of living.

If you want to live there even if you return home, you have to abandon your life and start over. Even so, there is no guarantee that the other elves will return.

The elves who thought so chose a new life, and no one gathered for Randolph.

Randolph realized that he was the only one who had sworn to return his homeland in any way, and had an undeniable setback. I felt like I was denied all my studies that I had accumulated in my life.

"... I also remember that time. I couldn't reach my power and I was sorry."

"Don't. If you apologize, there's no current."

If no one would cooperate with Randolph at that time, he might have given up from the election of Orbaum by this time.

But there were a few fellow adventurers, including Meorilis, and nobles who showed their understanding.

"I was the one who asked me for help. And I gave up, and that's it."

So Randolph continued to work as an adventurer. I lost my purpose, but I didn't know any other way of life. He left the adventurer and became an atheist only ten or twenty years after reaching the S-class.

Is he just tired or hesitated to become more and more crippled with the elected aristocracy as he gets stronger, or because he has overlooked the negative aspects of humans through such relationships? Randolph himself did not remember the clear trigger.

If he continued his activities without giving up, the Duke and the Adventurer's Guild may have cooperated if he wanted to pursue a cleanup project in his native forest after raising him to Class A, not Class B, and that was S Class. unknown. Even if his hometown elves did not return, other elves who were attracted to his fame might have wished to emigrate.

But Randolph didn't want it.

(I quit because ... I had to return to my hometown forever, maybe it was because I finally gave up.)

Randolph thought that now was the case.

"Old tales would be good around here, it was bad, divert the story.

So why do you want me to do the instructor? That's you, there's some reason. ''

And forcibly correct the trajectory of topic and consciousness.

"Oh, of course, there are so many who want to be instructors at our school."

Adventurer school instructors and instructors are salient recruits for retired adventurers. However, the teachers and teachers of the hero prep school are paid several times different from those of ordinary adventurer schools.

In addition, if you can connect with the aristocrats and large merchants who are the students' parents, you can aim to change jobs from the lecturer to your escort or martial arts instruction role.

In addition, passionate active adventurers who simply want to teach talented young people may temporarily suspend their activities and become lecturers. It is rare to ask for a temporary lecturer in the form of a request, but it is not without.

However, it is rare to ask an S-class adventurer with a complicated position like Randolph.

"Actually, he appears to be organizing an army in the Duke of Sauron to recapture the former Scylla Autonomous Region. He is trying to get you involved."

"I knew that ... but how was Rudel's youth? It looks like his skin was thicker than I thought."

Randolph recalled the young duke's face, ignoring his advice, but Meolilith shook his head.

"Dukes other than Duke of Sauron. Hartner, Jahan, and Duke of Fazon are particularly enthusiastic."

"... they are all dukes with a thriving Alda religion. Hartner wants me to make a difference in the recapture battle and make the duke-based Sauron dukeland closer to the alda."

Although Dulcia would have a bitter smile, the Duke of Sauron has a strong tendency to reject the new tribe of Vida, but it is a thriving area of Vida religion. It may be better to call it a new anti-Vida tribe.

Perhaps the Duke of Hartner, just south of the Duke of Sauron, wants to cooperate not only in economy and politics but also in religion.

The Duke of Jahan was originally a land of greater bottinism than Vida and Arda, but began to focus on the cult of Arda in the era of the current Duke.

The duke, born of a reversion and a giant race, may have had to unite the aristocrats by showing Alda a strong religion.

"Jahan can ... speculate, but I'm not sure. Fazon wants to hire me for that young guy."

Randolph has little acquaintance with the Duke of Jahan, so I don't know the details.

Duke Fazon seemed to want to hire Randolph instead of Heinz, who was still in the dungeon during this conversation.

"So I'm going to hire me, because whatever the other dukes say, it's going to be irrelevant. Will not be. "

"If they were so close, they would try to hire me by name from the beginning.

"Is it quite easy to get a request? Did you run out of money?"

"No, I just don't want to be involved in the Duke of Sauron. And ... they will never come to the center."

"Hey?"

"The teacher who was recently taught and the people involved."

Before Vandalu still unsealed Botyn's seal on the Demon King's continent. Around this time, Randolph did not know that Vandalu intended to enroll in the central hero prep school.

Meorilis did not know either. The headquarters of the Adventurers Guild of the Dukes of Al Krem had written a letter of recommendation and handed it to Vandalurou. However, the adventurer's guild headquarters of the Duke of Al Krems will not report it to the Heroes Preparatory School.

Randolph knew that Vandaloo was going to take the entrance examination for the Heroes Preparatory School after deciding on a new pseudonym and disguise.

(These guys ... no, he's going to enter a school for adventurers now and what are they going to learn?)

Randolph, who changed his hair color to red and dubbed herself Dandrip, looked down at Vandaloo with her dead eyes.

I was caught by the tallest Pauvina among the test takers .... I was able to notice immediately because I was held up.

From Randolph's rumored story of Vandalu's heroism and the skills he had guessed when he actually met and spoke ... no matter what he thought he would have to learn at this school.

(Human connection or camouflage to do something in Olbaum? No way, maybe a strategy of holding a concert in Olbaum like Moxie or Al Krem to increase their fans?)

For Randolph, who is also half-guided to the Kanako arts, the concert was a realistic strategy.

Merchants, adventurers, mercenaries, and nobles of each Duchess gather from across the nation in the capital of Orbaum. Elections will be held next year.

If you keep the capital now, its influence should spread throughout the election.

And it's just a concert. It's just a sing and dance event, with no illegal drugs, no forbidden prohibitions.

No one investigates, and when he does, he can't get anything. There is no legal basis to prevent it.

(…… but I ’m not worried about it at all)

In addition, it was a difficult means to create a motive to disturb Randolph. After all, it's just a concert. And so is Vandaloo's purpose, which he knows at this stage.

Aside from overthrowing the nation and conquering the world, it is just a missionary activity. And the acquisition of the rights of a new race of Vida ... a political activity.

Both are uninteresting for Randolph. What worries him more is whether his identity is not exposed to the Vandaloos.

(Dangdrip and this disguise were already shown to school officials and couldn't be changed, but they shouldn't have changed ... they should have been more elaborate. At least they should be disguised as races rather than elves.)

I regret watching it, but there was no particular response from Vandaloo. It's hard to imagine he didn't notice it at all, but Randolph, who couldn't confirm it, descended from the stage and returned to work as an examiner.

The tests in the afternoon were intended to determine the level of combat abilities and basic knowledge and skills as an adventurer.

"It's exactly the test I heard."

The difficulty of the test was fairly low from the perspective of Vandaloo.

"Huh, have you been afraid? I'm still going to a normal adventure school."

However, it was too difficult for other test takers who heard such a mutter of Vandaloo to laugh with their nose.

Originally there is no entrance exam at Adventurer's School. Those who do not have the combat skills, skills, and knowledge necessary to operate as adventurers will enter. However, the hero prep school does not need such ordinary students.

Ordinary adventurers want to take exams that they never take. Aristocratic children learn by hiring tutors and martial arts instructions for the day.

"Or are you getting extra points for unique skills or something? Oh, you were a tamer, then?"

However, just a difficult exam will miss candidates from the general public who have unique skills. Therefore, if you have unique skills or other talents, you will be added to the examination results.

The boy who was calling out earlier seemed to think that Vandaloo was getting extra points for the system.

"Yes, that's right"

And that was the case. Although Vandaloo is silent on the school side about his unique skills, the school praised him as a tamer who could be called a "genius tamer." There are already enough points for just enrollment, including the rare species of Dumpel.

So it was a silent message from Randolph and Meorilis not to take the exam, but the Vandaloos didn't notice at all.

"That's right. It's a tamer rather than a filthy demon, so this is ..."

The boy was from an aristocracy and was not seriously trying to become an adventurer. As the fourth son of a baron, he wanted to join the Knights after putting on the foil, so he was discriminatory in a bad sense.

In addition, there was a tacit understanding of the hero prep school that the parents should not be involved in what happened at school and examinations, and a cunning to use the rule that students were equal.

As a son of the Earl of Honor, he cannot return to the Baron's son now, and thinks that it will be the same if he later crys to his parents.

"... what is it? What do you want to say?"

But he was not to be wary of Vandalu, but of Pauvina. She stared down at the boy.

"What test do you take?"

And asked so. He couldn't have answered his boy honestly, but he might have thought he would have fled if he didn't answer.

"Ke, sword and shield, and bow!"

"I see. I understand. Then I will take the same test!"

"What, what ?? What are you going to say?"

"Let's go, Van!"

"Welcome, do your best to not overdo it."

Pauvina dropped Vandaloo on the spot and proceeded to take the exam with a light and fast pace.

"What was it?"

The boy walks in a confused way to follow. Vandalou anticipated that Pauvina would perform better than him in all the exams he took.

"I had no plans to stand out except for my appearance, race, and origin, but I can't help coming over.

`` Pauvina will keep it to a point where it's not impossible. ''

It's not going to be a matter of crushing the test target or making the examiner unconscious.

Believing so, Vandalu went to the exam he would take.

In tests examining long-range attacks such as [bowing] and [throwing], using throwing knives performed slightly better than other test takers.

In the examination for judging the close combat, the examiner made a strange face when he received it with [cane art].

"Do you use claws?"

"Yes, claw looks like this"

In response, Vandalu extended his claw longer and longer than the knife, and the examiner twitched his mouth.

"It sounds like it's going to cut more than a knife, and I hear that Dumpel also has the [Strength] skill. Indeed, in order to judge [Martial Arts], the examiner must wear real armor instead of training. It's dangerous without it. ''

In fact, a Vandalu who has a superpower skill of the superpower can easily kill an examiner wearing real armor without activating the Demon King's Fragment.

“Yes, that ’s why I ’d like to use“ stick ”.”

But without any shards, Vandaloo gave a decent result in the Cane Test.

Other tests included discriminating between medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs, and the ability to determine the type of demon from footprints. I was told that I could use any method, so when I licked the grass and identified it by taste, it was noticeable in a bad way.

"Even if you know it's a poisonous lick, there's no point in poisoning your body. It doesn't make any sense ... it's not a problem because Dampiel is born with [condition resistance] skills.

However, never imitate those who do not have resistance skills. Even if you have resistance skills, some poisons can not be tolerated depending on their level! Be as visible as possible! "

Yes, I was scolded for turning around.

"Yes teacher"

However, because of the circuit, Vandalu did not realize that he had been scolded and interpreted that he had just been taught.

Actually, since Vandalu has [state abnormality invalidity] instead of [state abnormality resistance], drinking a barrel of deadly poison that can kill an elephant with a single drop has no effect.

(Because it is hard to imitate the surroundings, you must refrain in such a place. It is truly a hero preparatory school that will teach you the surroundings)

So he was impressed.

And the test of magic that Vandaloo was most worried about.

"Now, hit that attack magic."

The examiner instructed a wooden target about ten meters away. Other test takers fired and fired fire, ice, rock masses and wind blades one after another.

Everything is rudimentary magic. Some students surprise their examiners by shooting through the flame spears.

In order for Vandaloo to be inconspicuous, he must use neither death attribute magic nor [God Magic] and produce results less than that. However, it is difficult to do the same thing as ordinary people with his too powerful magic.

A non-attribute magic, which launches a block of magic that is concentrated in a spherical shape [magic bullet], but a normal magician is the same or slightly smaller than a grip fist. However, when Vandalou casts it, it becomes a large ball one meter in diameter.

If a normal magician measures the magic power in millimeters, there is only one meter in Bandarru.

Of course, if you show such magic, it will be very noticeable. Later this day, a magician guild executive will come to him and be asked to join.

Vandalu decided to use other magic because he didn't want to develop it.

"Examiner, can I use a throwing knife or a stone?"

"Hmm? This is a magic test?"

"I know. I'm going to hit my knife or ball with [mind movement] and hit it."

If you just hit the object that you fly by moving the object [tekutsu], you can penetrate the target, but it will not be like exploding.

"Well, do a roundabout ... no, I see. That kind of thing.

However, the examiners seemed to have misunderstood that they had other intentions. Vandaluu was relieved of the permit but was keen on what it was like.

In such a situation, cast a spell to make you think you don't have the Discard Chance skill.

"Invisible hand, shoot the target"

Spell an appropriate spell, grab the knife with [tekutsu] and push it toward the target 10 meters away. The magic of [Nendou] consumes magical power as it moves farther away, so if Vandaloo puts his or her efforts into maximizing the magical power, this will be enough.

If you use the method of bouncing your target near you, as you usually do in artillery, you'll destroy the wall beyond it, rather than the point.

"By playing the knife near you, you can reduce the consumption of magic power, and also show off the power of penetrating the knife and the skills of [magic control].

Stunning! "

And I got high evaluation of the top class among examinees. I didn't want to show control technology.

"I can't understand"

But the test is over. Even if you are not satisfied with the result, you cannot start over.

"Van, it's over!"

Pauvina came back with a full smile. There is no figure of that boy. Instead, for some reason he has the sword he had.

"How was?"

"Everything has done better than that! He said he would give me a sword, though I don't know what.

"... maybe he meant to sword in a figurative sense,"

Apparently, the boy had not surrendered his pride, but had succumbed to swearing loyalty to Pauvina.

"Let's go get that sword for the time being."

"Yeah, yes. Van, I'd rather have a club than a sword."

"Speaking of how, how did you perform better than him in the swordsman exam? That boy seemed to be able to use it."

Perhaps the level of Swordsmanship or Shielding is about two or three. And Pauvina does not have the Swordsmanship skill. It was easy to get a good result.

"While swinging the largest of the swords used for the test with one hand, the examiner said," It passed. ""

"... Oh, that's for sure."

Pouvina seemed to swing lightly with one hand on the two-handed Great Sword he had prepared, just in case, that the students would not use.

Even though he was technically inexperienced, the examining attorney who had been in front of his overwhelming strength must have screamed, "I might die if I meet," and inadvertently shouted, "I passed."

Vandaloo sympathized with her heart. By the way, [bowing] ... It seems that the long-range attack test usually performed well in [throwing].

"Now let's go home. Let's go by the Tamer Guild on the way. It seems that Orlock has returned."

"Yeah! Next is Revez's turn? Is it OK to take Rapi?"

"This time, let's just do the pain. I'll be the only pete."

In the test, Pauvina passed with top grades, and Vandaloo passed with good results.

Randolph was embarrassed, as the examiner, Dandrip, gazed at the back of the two as they walked away from the exam hall.

"What are your plans for that grade?"

Obviously he is hiding his ability. Even he who doesn't know the true power of Vandaloo and Pauvina understands. However…….

"Even if you hide your abilities, why do you do such a half-baked hiding?-Is there any intent, or just as a result of trying to match other students?"

Randolph wrinkled between his eyebrows, but Vandaloo and Pauvina passed the test without any noticeable trouble, such as setting new records or destroying the venue.

Pete was reluctant to learn the skill. Asked Pain who learned the same skill, he replied that he was unwilling.

However, he and the Lord of Payne ... Vandaloo and Pauvina say that they are useful skills. He told me that if I refined my skills, I would be able to stay with us in human cities.

Then Pete and Payne worked hard. And showed the results. After a few days of waiting in one of Vandaloo's [internal worlds], it's time to finally make a difference.

"Well, this time you picked a bug-type monster."

"Kisha"

"queue"

Orlock looked at Pete and Pauvina's hands entangled in Vandalu's arm, and looked at him as if he were looking somewhere.

"Orlock Master! This is a great discovery of the century ... no, a great feat!"

"No, but it's terrible compared to the undead ..."

"Why are you so calm !? It's a historic moment !?"

"Well, I'm surprised ..."

Tamer Guild officials made a fuss, but Orlock was calm.

"Ah, yeah. Did you say you had a giant hundred feet inhabiting the garden of that mansion and a giant butterfly?"

""Yes""

Vandalu and Pauvina respond with a voice. However, Pete and Payne did not appear to Orlock's eyes to be just rank 1 demons.

Pete has more horns, more tough tusks, and sometimes scattered cracks and sparks when compared to a normal hundred feet.

In the case of Paine, the wing pattern is too poisonous. When asked, "Is it okay to touch me?", She replied, "I think it's okay because you're holding me down."

However, the size is an ordinary hundred feet and a giant butterfly.

"Kisher"

That's because it's getting smaller using the [reduce] skill. Pete's original size is larger than the dragon, but with this skill you can also wrap it around Vandaloo's arm and hide it in his sleeve.

"Well, it's a mutant. Apparently, it seems that we've been able to communicate properly. I'll admit that we're a Tamer Guild.

Later, the Sorcerer's Guild may come, but just listen and talk. ''

"I see ... By the way, are you sleeping recently? It looks like you're tired."

"What's okay, haha, because I was on vacation until yesterday."

To Orlock, laughing at her gaze, Vandalu took out a carved box from his pocket.

"This cream is a specialty product distributed in the Duchy of Al Krem, but it is effective for stressed and rough skin and stiff shoulders, so try using it."

If he had a sense of danger that Orlock might retire if he did, he offered V cream.

○ Skill explanation: shrinking

[Resize] Skill, a version of the skill that specializes in getting smaller. It can be reduced to the size of the smallest creature of the skill owner.

For chickens, from eggs to chicks just hatched, for dogs, from puppies just born. In addition, it does not mean rejuvenation, but only reduces to the same size.

For this reason, some bug-type monsters, butterflies and moth monsters only become butterflies and moths of the same size as when they were caterpillars, and cannot return to caterpillars.

In addition, while it is reduced by this skill, abilities other than life power, magic power, and intellect will decrease.
