We have a level system in place for mankind.

sCENE: Twenty Warehouse High Oaks

We headed for the warehouse and ran into the oak again. Now I'm done with Elena's bow and my cow knife. At that time, Elena's individual level increased.

Elena distorted her face in pain, but soon the pain seemed to have disappeared. They'll be able to withstand the pain when the individual level rises. Elena smiles when she sees a list of skills she can now choose from.

"Did something good happen?

"You can now choose your 'bowing' skills"

Probably because I used the bow in practice and in action. Elena seems to have immediately chosen her 'bowing' skills.

That's when I realized. Something like experience seems to get in if you join the fight without having to tailor your enemies. It means that the higher-level person lets the lower-level person help with the battle, and it is also possible to level the power to help raise the level.

I just don't know what happens in battle. If you let them fight a strong enemy, they can kill you in a flash. Power leveling is dangerous if you don't be so careful.

The warehouse of interest was located near the centre of the Beastman District. This is a warehouse rented by the Water Authority, and they say Kashiwaki, who is the Water Authority's clerk, has been here many times.

Kashiwagi is a slightly tall man with a handmade spear as his weapon.

"The warehouse is over there."

There is a warehouse-like building in the direction you pointed to. However, beyond that there was Yasu North High School.

"You're close to Jesu North High School."

I told him I cared.

"Even if I say it's close, it's about a hundred meters away. You're gonna be okay."

Muto doesn't seem to care much.

When I arrived in front of the warehouse, I could see that the door was broken.

"Someone broke the door and went inside."

I thought you had food in there.

I heard Seeker Kuroi and Nippe talking.

Kuroi is a man of disappointed stature and his weapon is a sword. The other two parts use Barr as a weapon. By the way, Muto was using his hand axe as a weapon.

We unloaded our bags and each went inside with a weapon and through a broken door.

"I can feel some signs, but it's dark and invisible."

Muto stared at me and tried to look in the back, but it didn't seem to work. There's a little light in through the broken door, but it's dark and invisible in the back.

Not as good as the Farmers' Association Building, but I felt signs of being released from a strong presence.

"Be careful. They're like mighty enemies."

At that moment, a trembling roar echoed from behind the warehouse.

"Shit, get out there."

We went out bright. Something pops up like chasing it.

Confirming in a bright spot, it was usually a high oak one turn bigger than the oak. The back length is about two meters and he has the Willow Leaf Knife "Ryutotsu" in his hand. A willow leaf knife is a type of Chinese knife used in Chinese martial arts.

The Mustangs have a frightened look on their face. Elena's face was also tense.

"I'll fight. Everybody support me."

I set up a cow knife and I tried to move forward.

"Wait, wait, I'll fight you."

Two of the high school students saw Elena as chilling before moving forward.

Look at the two parts, and the high oak laughs in a nitwit. Maybe I'm thinking of something like prey advancing from me.

High oak hit the second part. A willow leaf knife is swung down toward the second part, trying to take that willow leaf knife in the bar. Barr was bounced off in one blow, and the second part got a buttcake.

High oak kicked up the second part.

"Hia!

Screaming and dancing in the universe two parts. I jumped forward. I saw it. I roared like a high oak threatened me.

The roar hurt my ears. But I don't feel as threatened from this high oak as Minotaur on the island. While I'm dealing with the high oak, the Muto drag the two stretches on the ground to evacuate the rear.

"Hey, are you seriously going to fight? You think you can win?

He wants to say that Muto should run away. But when I saw the high oak move, I didn't think I was going to get away with it easily.

The movement of the oak felt dodgy and there were as many gaps to penetrate. But high oak is different. He uses enormous power to make agile moves.

"If Elena has a gap too, let go of the arrow"

"Ya, I'll try"

I ran out toward the high oak. When we make it in time, we wield the cow knife with all our might. The cow knife was played with a willow leaf knife. With great power, the cow knife is about to fly out of my hand.

High oak waves a willow leaf knife down from directly above. He jumped to the side and sent a cow knife into his belly. High oak jumps away. Still, the blade of the cow knife scratched shallow on the flank.

It's a heavily painless sweep. Still, high oak raises the scream of anger. Angry high oak began to wield a willow leaf knife. Waiting for a chance with a blade that strikes at a terrible speed.

Elena released the arrow. The arrow pierces the right shoulder of the high oak. The stab was about two centimeters and not deep. But High Oak's attention shifted from me to Elena.

I jumped into the high oak blind spot and unleashed the slaughter of a cow knife. The blade severed the left leg deeply. High oak wields a willow leaf knife at his disposal. There was a gap there. Shortly after the willow leaf knife was applied, he waved the cow knife down into his hand with the willow leaf knife.

Coincidentally, the moves and moves taught by the knife skills overlapped and showed tremendous power. He slashed the tip off the wrist of a high oak.

"Somebody pick up that knife!

"Oh, wow."

Muto picked up the knife. I received the Willow Leaf Knife from Muto and started the attack with it.

Slashing his wrist off never meant bright red blood erupted from it. I don't feel like I cut off an organism so much that blue blood, which is body fluids, seeps in. I guess this is because the alien beast is not a legitimate creature, but a monster prepared by the presence of that example voice.

Losing his weapon, High Oak dared to hit his body without fright. I sent a willow leaf knife into the neck of a high oak. Pig heads fly through the universe.

The high oak turned into a heart stone and I left a willow leaf knife in my hand.

[Level increased]

The voice of the example echoed my head. Looks like Elena heard voices, too. I endured the pain of attacking me as I stood, but Elena crouched in.

Looking at us, it looks like Muto and the others figured out what happened.

"Congratulations. Looks like you've increased your individual level"

I nodded and then exhaled, lifting and checking the willow leaf knife in my right hand. Muto noticed the willow leaf knife.

"What. Why do you have a knife left?

The Mustangs didn't seem to know that if you took the weapon of a different beast and killed it, it would remain without becoming a cardiac stone. I was surprised to explain.

"But it's amazing. Cozillow, you are."

Kashiwaki, who was a water bureau clerk, raised his voice.

After I took a short break, I called to start an investigation into the warehouse.

"That's enough. If I rest a little longer."

Elena spoke out worried.

"I'm fine. I care more in the warehouse than that."

It was then that I realized the condition of the cow knife. The blade is chipped and worn out because of the attack of the willow leaf knife.

"In this condition, you often slit your high oak wrist."

In the meantime, I took out the cloth and wrapped it around it before I punished the backpack. The willow leaf knife remains unbroken because there is no sheath.

The injury to the second part didn't seem to be a big deal. He got up and picked up the high oak black heart stone and gave it to me.

"Thank God. Thank you."

I set up a reckless fight. I'll give it to you. I'm about to be ashamed of losing easily. They taught me by the Muto's, and I was grateful for the help they had given me.

Kashiwaki found a flashlight on the shelf near the entrance to the warehouse, so he used it to check inside. It looks like there are no other beasts besides High Oak.

I wondered what the high oak was doing in the warehouse.

"What was that high oak doing?

"I don't know. I don't know what the Beast thinks."

Muto doesn't seem to care about the behavior of the beast or anything.

There was a truck parked near the entrance to the warehouse.

We found a lot of pipes and joints, tools, etc. in the warehouse. Naturally. Because the warehouse here was a warehouse that had something to do with the Water Authority, and Kashiwaki, who was a clerk, knew there was a pipe inside.

There was gasoline left in the warehouse truck. Kuroi, who was the truck driver, is happy that his turn has come.

We all loaded the truck with warehouse PVC pipes and other items and carried them to Fort Shimojo. I was able to travel back and forth about five times and carry most of the stuff. But that ran out of gas in the truck, and Kuroi seemed sorry.
