Jill, who finished his fortified architectural quest, came back under Loran in a tatter.

The armor he was wearing was worn out, his clothes were smudged with sweat, his left arm covered with his right hand and his feet fluttered without a restraint, and his face looked spicy.

On the other hand, however, the satisfaction of cutting it somewhere seeped through its face, and although the cheeks were upbeat and stained bright red, the reason seemed to be attributed to something other than intense exercise, and although the breath was making it rough, there was also a mixture of somewhere troubling exhalation.

"Ha ha. I'm back now."

Jill flirts, but somehow lets him take an upright immobility stance in front of Loran.

"Obnoxious. Jill, let me do a status check."

"Yes, thank you"

(Phew. I wondered what would happen temporarily to the impossible, but I could do something about it. This much munching on your body would also tighten your status. Any amount of this would convince Mr. Loran......)

Loran appraised Jill's status.

Arm Strength (Power): 90-100

Endurance (Toughness): 110-120

Jun Min (Agility): 90-100

Health (Stamina): 190-200

"Yeah. All the status errors have subsided within ten."

"Thank you"

"But this isn't working at all, is it?

"What?"

Jill doesn't know what it means to be told for a moment and looks at Loran's face.

"We need to at least fit the status within error 5. No more errors to talk about."

"So, within error 5..."?

"Oh, within error five. No problem, right?

Loran said in a normal tone, not angry or toned up.

That was the tone as if error 5 or less was nothing.

(I can't believe it's within 5 errors. Even if it's just within 10, it needs daily, irresistible workouts. He said he accomplished that in a week with blood reflexes)

Jill was stunned to learn that her hard work was not recognized at all.

(Isn't this no longer just an irrational sigoki! But I like it there!

"Okay. If Mr. Loran wants you to go, you have to be me."

"Next, you should go on a quest for bridge architecture."

"Yes."

Jill let his face seep into remorse for which his efforts were not acknowledged, but for that he returned to the dungeon with a good dash of energy.

Loran and Arlier watched her run away with no expression.

"Mr. Jill, you were happy."

Arlier told me to whine.

"... yeah"

"Why is she happy to be forced into such a hard time?

"I wonder why. Actually, I'm not sure either."

"... Really?"

Arlier decided to stop thinking deeply.

In the workshop, Chial and Dowin were in the process of development.

"Now, this new material, refined by Mr. Arlier and forged by me, with iron 3, silver 6, and dianite (a material that strengthens bonding while enhancing the attributes of metal) 1. How Much Performance"

Dowin waved down the 'Obsidian Hammer (hammer made of obsidian)' toward the new material.

A shitty noise called Gunn sounds and a strong load is transmitted over the new material on the gold floor.

The new material was sitting on the spot without missing a single shard and without moving a single millimeter.

"Oh, that's a success."

Cheal stares at the new material with his eyes sparkling.

"Yeah. For now, I'm clear on hardness. The biggest problem is…"

Chial tries to lift the new material in the form of a brick rectangle with both hands.

"Ngu, Ngu, no."

Chial tried to lift the new material somehow, but her arm strength prevented her from lifting it any way she could.

"No -. I can't lift it."

"Yeah. That's right. I could have pursued the finest about hardness, but it got too heavy. Because of this, there's no one who can use it to build a weapon..."

"Hi. How's the S-Class weapon development going?

Loran came into the work room as the two of them were arming up and thinking about it.

"Ah, Mr. Loran."

"Mr. Loran, I was just plugging into the wall and I was hoping you'd get in on a consultation,"

"Fine. What can I do for you?

"I see. Surely this is too heavy."

Loran tried to lift it with Range, but even the two of us had the best chance of lifting it for a few seconds.

"Well, it's hard to process it."

Range glanced at me.

"We need four or five men just to carry it. Then it's too expensive."

"Mass production doesn't seem possible."

"It's suspicious if you can get it back even if it's custom-made."

"How much do you need?

"Right. Wait a minute, please."

Range spreads the calculation form on the spot to make an estimate.

"Would it take roughly 10 million gold to make a profit?"

"Hmm. That's tough."

"There is also a cost problem......"

Dowin pinches his mouth.

"Is there an adventurer who can handle such a heavy weapon in the first place..."

"Sure. If you're a weapon made of this much material, you'll need 100 + base stats."

"Exactly a weapon for S-Class adventurers."

"On the boulder. I bet you wouldn't even buy this for The Guardian of the Magic Tree."

"I can't make money."

"Unfortunately, you have this new material."

"Yep. I want to make weapons out of this material."

I told Chial to waste it.

"You can use it when you have something to use again. It's not the only way to create a new material."

I say so that Dowyn can fool me.

"Buh."

Chial inflates one cheek.

"Sa, chial. It's time for you to get back to work."

Range told me to hurry.

"Yep. I'd still like to develop it with Mr. Dowin."

"No. 'Cause I got a job to put in."

"Mmm."

"Chial. I'll be back tomorrow."

I told Dawyn not to fool around.

"Huh."

Chial works on the production of silver craftsmanship with the feeling of shabu-shabu.

Loran continued to item appraise the new material.

(S-Class Adventurer… is it possible that Jill? But no matter how much Jill, I wouldn't be able to have 10 million gold available. Something you can't handle......)

"'Jung-min Grant'"

When Rick casts a spell, the green light wraps around Lerio's body.

"Ooh."

"How do you feel?

"I don't know, maybe a little lighter"

Lerio tries to jump vertically or run lightly on the spot.

"Yeah. Obviously faster than usual"

"Rick, try it on me too."

Marina is coming with cancer.

"Wait. I want to restore my magic before I do."

"Yes, this"

Marina takes the magic cherry out of the bag of nostalgia.

"Oh, that helps.... ugh, sour. You still taste a little bad."

"Rick! Quickly 'Jung-guan' me!

"Well wait. Don't panic so much." Jung-min Grant ""

When Rick casts a spell while pointing his wand at Marina, it also costs Marina a a 'Jung-min grant'.

"Ooh. Light. Your body is overwhelmingly light. I think I can fly away.

Marina runs around the area faster than usual with her arms spread like wings.

Lerio tries to use 'status appraisal' for Marina.

Marina Fortuna

Jun Min (Agility): 60 ( 10) -70 ( 10)

(I see. Marina's Toshi (Agility), which is usually 50-60, is up to 60-70. Is this the effect of the "Jun Min Grant")

"No, but I didn't know I was going to use supportive magic."

Rick stares at the support magic wand with a bitter smile.

"Rick wants to be avant-garde."

"Oh, I wondered what would happen when Mr. Loran told me to be a Demon Swordsman, but I don't think I'd really wear it this easy"

"Yeah. Isn't that amazing, Mr. Loran? At first I wondered why the appraiser was the captain..."

"Oh, that man's instruction is nothing like training in a training center."

"Well, it helps anyway. I can finish Mr. Loran's assignment."

"That's right. With this, it's easy to accomplish the challenge."

"No, it's not as easy as winning..."

"I don't know. I'm growing rapidly now. If you continue to develop your" Jun Min Giving "skills..."

Rick grips and stares at the wand with both hands with an invincible grin full of ambition.

I was no longer totally on board.

"Rick. Can't you try supporting magic on Rick himself?

"Oh, right. It's a corner, so let's give it a try......."

Rick remembers his headache and suppresses his back of the head.

"Rick?"

"What's wrong!?

"I don't know. Hi, it seems like it's hard to produce magic... That's crazy. I just had a magic cherry."

"Wait a minute. I'll take a look at the status."

Lerio takes a look at Rick's status.

Rick Dyer.

Magic: 1-30

(I see. The lowest level of magic is 1. This is proof that the stats are being polished. Until natural recovery, no matter how much magic you restore, it won't be worth it. ……)

While I was thinking about that, Lerio started to dazzle me, too.

"What's up, Lerio? Do you want 'Magic Cherry'?

"No, this is probably..."

"Rick, Lerio, Marina. You were here."

Loran showed up.

"Ah, Mr. Loran."

"Hmm. The three of you are about to run out of magic."

("Status appraisal" …. That's just fast)

Lerio wrapped his tongue around the speed of Loran's appraisal, which instantly identifies the status of the three.

"Huh? With that said, I'm kind of losing my powers, too."

Marina puts her hands on the ground.

Items such as gear, ore, potions, etc. fall from her item bag zero with Dossadosa.

Lerio and Rick picked up the item in a hurry.

"All three of you, don't use your newly acquired skills until you get used to them."

Loran said as he helped pick up the item.

"Excuse me. Let me help you."

"Fine. That's about it. More than that, Lerio. Come to my tent when this is over."

Lerio even headed with Loran to the tent for the captain.

Rick and Marina watched the sight wonderfully.

"Something, isn't he often summoned by Mr. Loran lately?

"Right. Looks like Lerio's skills have something to do with it."

"Skills...... what the hell are you up to?

Rick and Marina twisted their necks and thought.

"This is the status appraisal today."

Lerio submits a form with the status filled out to Loran.

"Hmm. Which one?"

Loran takes it and checks the numbers for Rick and Marina.

(Again, the part you haven't stretched before grows fast. They're all unusual stretches)

(I can feel something. Shut up and do this to both of you)

Loran ordered me to do it and I'm compelled to, but for Lerio, this assignment was something I didn't feel comfortable with.

"Did Rick's magic reach a maximum of 30 and Marina's magic reach a maximum of 80? Hmm. It's time for the next phase."

Loran turned to Lerio when he looked through all the numbers.

"No, that would help. It's hard for me to assess everyone's status by myself."

"Huh."

(You're not going to be a choreographer like this for a while. I'm an adventurer.)

"Okay. Lerio. Get everyone in front of the entrance to the Wall."

Following orders from Loran, Lerio ran around among the crew of "Guardian of the Magic Tree" and communicated the order to convene.

The crew gathered under Loran, stopping the work they were doing now, leaning their necks towards the sudden convocation.

"From today onwards we will be training for troop operations, not individual challenges"

(Troop operations…)

Rick and the others were uniformly nervous.

Finally, you can mix with the main unit to train for Dungeon Attacks.

Basically, it was a dungeon management with no monster-related quests, but there was only one quest that involved training in troop operations.

It is a Dead Meat Eater (Ghoul) Crusade Quest.

Ghoul is a monster that fishes dead meat from humans, animals and monsters, leaving it alone does no harm, especially to living humans, so no crusade request is ever made by the Quest Reception Office, but he was a great training partner for troop operations.

Moreover, it was ideal as an opponent to fight with five people, a basic unit of squad behavior, in order to act in a group of five basic people.

He accumulates treasures in his nest because of his habit of collecting glowing objects.

"Alchemist support is largely over with the completion of the walls and streets, and I'm going to do a gool crusade quest in the future. Ghoul is a monster that cannot be crusaded without squad units to move in a group. so as to demonstrate each one's own strength as well as increase collaboration."

Those who participated in the dungeon management were equally nervous.

They knew too.

Unlike previous training, this quest is a quest to select the main unit of the next dungeon attack.

"Then do the squad division first. First Squad will have Monica as squad leader, Ryan, Gareth..., then Squad 2 will have Shakuma, Rick, Elmo..., Squad 3 will have Uffine, Marina..."

Uffine was visibly exploring the meaning of Loran's squad division.

(I'm putting a rookie in Ace's squad. I see. So let's get the rookies and aces together so they can be a mutual stimulus. Is that it? But what about Lerio?

"That Mr. Loran. I..."

Because Lerio won't be called forever, he asks me a favor.

"Lerio. You are the squad leader. I'll have six squads in command."

"What!?

(Commander? Lerio?)

Uffine moves her eyebrows pickly.

Rick was stunned, too.

(So, you promoted Lerio's guy to commander? When did he...)

Blinking occurs in the troops.

"Wow. He's a squad commander all of a sudden."

"No, but are you okay? Put the rookie in command."

"Um. Mr. Loran. Suddenly making a new kid a commander is a bit... isn't that a bad idea?

Monica told me to speak for everyone.

"Why not?

"Lerio has also just graduated from the training center and is not used to troop behavior in the actual dungeon..."

"Monica, I'm not trying to treat Lerio differently. I'm looking at individual aptitudes and thinking about placement."

"Huh."

"Make Lerio squad leader. This is a matter of decision. Like?"

"Ugh, if that's what Mr. Loran says..."

Monica pulls back awesome.

"Now, make sure you're ready for each squad quest. Speak up when you can."

Lerio roughly saw everyone there.

Then he is exposed to a pungent gaze.

(Ugh, my gaze hurts after all)

Rick looks unconvinced.

Uffine looked at Lerio uncomfortably.

Shakuma is burning his rivalry consciousness.

They were all three, aspiring to be troop leaders.

(Oh, my God. I can't believe I'm suddenly under this kind of pressure. You could have taken some more account of Mr. Loran, too)

"Norma in each squad attacked Ghoul's nest by five. As each squad is excited to encourage you to win items. Go, go, go!

Each squad rushes to Ghoul's nest when Loran issues the decree.

(Totally. Mr. Loran says people are bad)

Uffine spits evil in her heart as she hurries ahead.

(Tell me you can be captain to me and Shakuma, and treat such a newbie openly. Fine. I'll prove to you on this quest that I deserve better as a captain)

Rick was also distressed to encourage troop action.

(Damn. Why? Why is Lerio the only one promoted to squad leader? Like Lerio, I'm completing Mr. Loran's assignment. No, I should have a higher growth rate just for simple status)

Shakuma was burning her fighting spirit.

(This is a trial to narrow down the candidate for captain of the new unit. That's what I took, Lorraine.)

Thus began the Ghoul Crusade Quest.

When he hits his weapon in front of the nest hole, a bunch of ghouls crawl out.

Having captured the enemy in sight, Lerio activates the status appraisal.

("Status appraisal" activated!

In addition to the appearance of the monster, the status rises in Lerio's eyes.

Even the seemingly identical monsters had different statuses for each individual.

The powerful, the toughness, the agility.

Conversely, those with weak power, those with weak toughness, and those with weak agility were also defeated by the use of status appraisals.

(I see. Is there some use for "status appraisal" like this)

"Marcus, respond to the enemy on the far right. Nicola is the enemy in the middle. Ceres is second from left. I hit the leftmost enemy."

Lerio held a shield against the most aggressive of his enemies, against the more aggressive of the less defensive monsters, and against the more agile monsters.

Lerio's squad wins the battle well at the end.

Lerio returned to Loran with the items he had won.

"Mr. Loran, the second nest is complete."

"Mm-hmm. Good luck. Let's go to this nest next time."

Loran points to the nest on the map.

"Yes."

(Phew. I suddenly wondered what would happen if you were appointed commander, but you're doing something about it for now)

Lerio lowers his chest in a ho.

Loran appraised Lerio's status.

Lerio Santana

Commander 50 - 60.

(Commander 50-60? Have you learned how to use the status appraisal and your command capabilities have grown exponentially? But it's still not enough)

"Lerio, the next ghoul is intermediate level. It's not what it used to be, so keep your head down."

"Yes."

Squad Six struck out weapons in front of a hole that was clearly bigger than ever.

A bunch of ghouls come out.

Lerio activates the status appraisal as usual.

Arm Power: 70-80

Endurance (Toughness): 50-70

Jun Min (Agility): 50-80

(Beep!? All of the underlying statuses exceed the minimum value of 50? There is no obvious weakness...)

I couldn't beat it with my current strength.

(Damn, what do I do?

"What's up, Lerio?

"Give me directions."

The men of the unit are asking for instructions.

(Told him to give me instructions. How can I do this...)

"Damn. I don't have a choice. Marcus. The leftmost enemy. Nick has the enemy in the middle."

Lerio gave instructions in the direction of leveraging the advantages of status wherever possible.

But without being able to support or defeat the enemy's attacks, Lerio's troops are instantly depleted.

"No. It'll all go away like this."

"Once you've recovered from the potion."

Though the men in the unit managed to win the battle, they drained the potion more than expected.

"Spend ten potions."

"... excuse me"

"The number of potions that can be paid per day is determined. Fight for a little less, or I'll keep you alive."

(Whatever you say, there's nothing you can do about it because enemy status is status.)

"Next time, we'll hit enemies of equal strength. Be well prepared."

"... Yes"

Lerio's troops went into battle again, but once again struggled.

(Shit. What am I supposed to do with this unit?)

Lerio spits evil inside as he desperately commands a disintegrating force.

"Shit. The potion will be on the bottom now."

"Captain, what are you gonna do?

"What the hell are you doing..."

(Is this level suddenly tough on boulders?

Loran was worried about whether he should help as he watched Lerio fight from the top of a small high hill.

That's how the troops are going to collapse.

(I have no choice. Help?)

"Shakuma, help Lerio's troops."

"Yes."

(Chance)

Rick, who was part of Shakuma's unit, was heartily pleased with this opportunity.

(If you can show Mr. Loran your powers here, the ratings should be reversed at once)

Rick rushed to Lerio's reinforcements courageously.

"Stand back. I'll be the shield."

Rick took the front line by replacing him with a struggling avant-garde person.

Get the two monsters in front of you and make them stop, although they will be attacked.

"Oh!"

"Rick's guy, let's do it."

(My endurance (toughness) is already over 70. This much attack, I can't stand it)

"Whoa, whoa!

Rick not only withstood the attack, he bounced back.

Pursue your enemies with the magic of "Toshimitsu".

The enemy was kicked out of sight.

"How about that! You see that!

Rick makes a gutsy pose and roars.

"Thank God."

"That was close."

(Ha. I managed to help)

Lerio is horrified to be able to get out of the danger of his life.

On the other hand I was in a complicated mood.

(Rick would be better suited to the captain. Take the lead and raise the morale of your allies...... Definitely better suited than me. Ha)

After all, only Lerio's troops were unable to achieve Norma that day.

That night, Lerio came to Loran for a direct verdict.

"What? I'm talking about."

"Um, I already want to get off my commander's training... There's more to doing than that."

"What do you want to do?

"Yes, I want to be able to build my power and handle 'Silver Iron Breaking Bow' like Monica did"

(I see. That's how it came)

Loran thinks.

(His arm strength (power) is limited to 70-80, even if he works out. No matter how much you work out, you're no match for Monica)

Loran thought so on the inside, but decided not to say it.

"Lerio, the position of a firepowered bowman (Archer) is already established by Monica in absolute position. You have plenty of room to build your power, but it won't reach Monica's power by the next dungeon."

"So..."

"I'm not going to put a halfway firepower archer in the main unit right now"

……

"You have potential for command. Why don't you just try a little more?

"Um, Mr. Loran. Can I have a word?

Monica visits under Loran.

"Oh. Lerio. I'm sorry. This is another time."

Lerio pulled back feeling reluctant.

It was a painful place not to spend time on Lerio, even as Loran.

(Sorry, Lerio. I want to spend a lot of time nurturing you, but I can't treat you any better than Monica)

It was visible that Ace would be infidel if it was all up to the newcomer.

I raised a rookie, and there's no ex or kid that Ace seems to be out of shape.

(That's a newbie's difficulty. Instead of enjoying an excellent environment from the beginning, you will be exposed to competition with existing powerful members. It's another big deal for Monica and the others who joined the army from scratch. But I can't give your upbringing priority over Monica's. Do your best on your own somehow)

(Damn. Enemies with a minimum value of 50 or more.)

Lerio tongued as he appraised Ghoul's status.

Once again, Lerio's troops were encountering powerful enemies.

(... what do we do?

Lerio desperately turns his mind around but finds no answer.

Whatever I thought of it, I had no choice but to invite troop depletion and defeat.

In addition, Loran prohibits the excessive use of potions.

(Also, you can't ask Rick for his help...)

Lerio's anxiety was contagious to the troops as well.

"Hey, Lerio. What are we gonna do?

"The enemy is going to be strong."

"What are we gonna do? Hey, Lerio!

Lerio teeth.

(Shit. Can you do it already)

"Retreat."

"What?"

"We are no match for our enemies in this force. So retreat."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"Even though our battles are behind the rest of the squad..."

"The enemy is closing in on his eyes and nose!

"Fine, retreat! I'll cover your retreat."

Lerio stood in the Troop Hall, towing the ghoul he was pursuing with shooting.

(That?)

Lerio felt uncomfortable as he retreated slightly and bowed slightly.

(Slow enemy pursuit?

Even though some of the monsters were highly agile, they didn't follow us at full speed, deliberately slowing down and following us.

(Why? If you follow me at full speed, it's your chance to chase us... Oh, wait.)

Lerio did a status appraisal.

As expected, each of the monsters was torn apart.

(Right...... If you run at full speed, you will be isolated from each other, which is an excellent food for each destruction. That's why I have to run for the slowest guy on my side to avoid falling apart)

After that, the monsters couldn't catch up, only to become the target of Lerio's shooting.

Eventually, the monsters gave up their pursuit and retreated.

"What? The monster guys. He's gone."

"I won...?

(I see. Is there such a way to fight...)

(Have you noticed? to tactical retreat)

Loran, who watched Lerio fight from a distance, did not miss a single scale of definite growth for the new commander.

(Ghoul has no means of ranged attack. That's why we can't handle a shootout if we're chasing a retreating enemy. This means that tactical retreat is effective. If you have a Junmin (Agility) Bowman (Archer)......, I'm talking about)

(If the enemy can't handle this tactical retreat... wait)

Lerio tried to build a formation that assumed retreat in the next battle.

I dare to put my shield behind me and put a handsome swordsman in front of me.

Attack the enemy's most sensitive (agile) individuals with the first blow, then retreat.

Destroy each enemy if it protrudes and leaps out.

If the enemy falls back, pursue.

Lerio's squad was brilliant, trying to destroy more enemies in status than they did.

(Done. defeating the enemy)

(Nothing is commander's role but to take the lead and fight bravely. It is also the role of the Commander to prepare for all times of need. The real qualities required of a commander. That's the ability to determine when to retreat)

(Even if you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself, can you mask the difference in status with my ability to command?

(A highly commanding archer, again unlike a high-fired archer like Monica. For this minute it's going to be a thing by the next dungeon appearance)

When Loran appraised Lerio's status, the command was 50-80.
