The next day, the leaders of the adventurers were assembled in the Chivalric Order’s practice ground. As expected, everyone’s expression was grave, so every S-Class and Class, and those B-Class and below came to be leaders. As I thought, those S-Class and Class have a different atmosphere when compared to the others. Maybe they’ll sense that I’ve completed an appraisal?
Party Name “Blaze of Dawn”: Both members S-class
Leader: Bahn Fail (Human; Basic Attribute Values Average: 16000)
Age: Early twenties; has an imposing air with deep crimson hair
Quite the good-looking guy.
Rifia Rose (Elf; Basic Attribute Values Average: 14000)
Age: Unknown; her long, blonde hair is beautifully put together with a ribbon
An amazing beauty.
Party Name “Gale”: All 4 members class
Leader: Will Beans (Human; Basic Attribute Values Average: 9800)
Age: Around 18; has black hair, which is rare around here
A gentle-looking person, but he has a unrealiable feeling somewhere
Roy Crotts (Human; Basic Attribute Values Average: 9100)
Age: Around 18; brown hair, and if I describe him in a few words: an ikeman
Both his eyes and eyebrows were tense, 10 out of 10 women would be charmed by him
Mia Throttle (Human; Basic Attribute Values Average: 8200)
Age: Around 18; pink hair down to her waist, and above all, her breasts were big
Rather than a beautiful person, she’s child-ish and cute, I think
Himika Kristen (Human; Basic Attribute Values Average: 8600)
Age: Around 18; blue hair down to her waist, a dignified beauty
In the beginning, Iris came out in front of the adventurers, and explained the reason they were gathered now.
“Everyone, thank you for gathering now. I think you’ve heard it from Eleanor-sama, but a large number of evil tribes will come attack here—Sphereart—before long. We don’t know when they will attack. So, we need to prepare quickly. The reason I had you all come here is to have you learn some skills. The skill’s name is『Magical Power Cladding』; by cladding your body in magical power and using it in conjunction with the Body Strengthening skill, your basic attribute values will drastically rise.” (Iris)
The adventurers made an uproar. The most common comments were “I’ve never heard of a skill like that!”. Here, a question came from Bahn-san.
“Iris-sama, who discovered the『Magical Power Cladding』skill? No matter how I think about it, it wasn’t you, right!? Is it the woman next to you?” (Bahn)
Iris introduced me, and spoke about how she was transferred to the large forest by the evil tribes’ evil magic, and how I saved her when she was in a tough spot.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Sasha. I discovered『Magical Power Cladding』. As of now, I’ve taught it to Iris, Priest Moore, Archbishop Clinka, and to the rest of the Chivalric Order. To prepare for the battle with the evil tribes, I’d like to teach it to you adventurers here as well. It’s fine, right?” (Akane)
I realized that all of the adventurers were ascertaining me. During that, Class Will-san gave me a chance.
“It’s fine, isn’t it? Bahn-san, she isn’t a normal person. Her atmosphere and engendering presence, I judged that she has the ability of an Class or greater.” (Will)
How sharp, Will-san.
“Will, I thought you were stronger than before, but you too have reached the point that you can see through your opponents with just their atmosphere and presence, huh? A chick of that school has become reliable.” (Bahn)
“Hey, Bahn-san, let’s put me aside. The discussion isn’t making progress.” (Will)
The two of you were friends, huh?
“Haha, sorry, sorry, you’re fine, Sasha. Please teach us『Magical Power Cladding』. If it’s to become strong, then using whatever you can is my motto.” (Bahn)
Bahn-san is greedy for strength, huh? Maybe that’s why he was able to climb his way up to S-Class. Conversely, Will-san seems like he can be unreliable at times, but he’s the type that absorbs everything. Thanks to the two, I taught『Magical Power Cladding』immediately. As expected, the adventurers that had experience actual combat—S-Class Bahn-san and Rifisan got it to level 6, and Class Will-san, Roy-san, Misan, and Himiksan acquired level 5 in about 30 minutes. Those who were B-Class and C-Class got it to level 3 in about an hour, and even those D-Class and below got it to level 2. During which, Bahn-san and Rifisan spoke with me.
“Sasha, you’re really something. I can see that my power is rising considerably. I see, cladding yourself in magical power, and converging it on one part of my body, huh? It’s so good!” (Bahn)
“This skill is truly amazing. My Body Strengthening skill’s level is low, but I know that my body and especially my magical power are rising. Sasha, for us elves, this skill is a priceless treasure. Thank you for teaching me.” (Rifia)
Ooh, that’s amazing, Sasha. Rifia praising someone doesn’t happen often. It looks like she’s really happy.” (Bahn)
“For you to say so, I’m also happy.” (Akane)
The Class people seemed delighted as well.
“Himika, this is amazing. With this, won’t you be able to use that magic?” (Mia)
“It certainly is amazing. But, that is still in its experimental stages, so I can’t use it carelessly.” (Himika)
“How about consulting it with Sasha, then? She’s opening『Magical Power Cladding』to the public like this, I think we can trust her.” (Mia)
My name came out for some reason, maybe they have a question for me? Ah, they came over here.
“Sasha, I am Mia Throttle. We have something very important to talk about with you.” (Mia)
“And I, am Himika Kristen, it’s a consultation about magic. But, it’s noisy here, so let’s go to a place devoid of people for a minute.” (Himika)
“Okay, I don’t mind.” (Akane)
A consultation about magic? I wonder what it is. We came to a place a little bit away from the Chivalric Order’s training field. After hesitating a little, Misan began speaking.
“Um, we are researching a form of attack magic currently. However, to use this magic, multiple attributes are needed, so it’s difficult to control. So, ––––––––” (Mia)
Mhm mhm, I see, I know what she wants to say. In short, she wants to develop combination magic, but controlling it is too detailed, and the prospects of success don’t look bright, huh?
“Did you not consult with Rifisan, the elf? I heard that elves are a race which specializes in all magic.” (Akane)
After I spoke, Himiksan replied to this question with a dull expression.
“Of course, I talked to her first. And––––that person, she was really interested in what we talked about. ––––” (Himika)
What’s wrong? The two’s facial expressions weren’t clear.
“Ah, sorry. That person, after we spoke, she tried it on the spot–––––––and succeeded in one go. It was a dreadful power. I’m glad no one was around.” (Himika)
“–––––––––Eh, wha!? An unexpected success on the spot after you spoke! You’re kidding!” (Akane)
She spoke in theory, but to succeed on the spot, she’s certainly a genius!
“Ahaha, I thought “it’s a joke”, you know. That person produced the ice attribute from her left hand, and the storm attribute from her right, and combined them splendidly. Neither I nor Mia closed our open mouths. And then, she thanked us quite a lot. It appears that Rifisan hadn’t imagined combining individual forms of magic either.” (Himika)
Here, Himiksan became gloomy, so the baton was passed to Misan.
“She’s a genius. I’ve fully realized that. In the end, we were told various things about control, but it was impossible for the then us as it was too advanced. Ahahaha~~.” (Mia)
I feel really bad for them. Even though they developed a theory by themselves and went to consult about it, someone just went and succeeded in one go on the spot. But, let me give them some consultation about combination magic as well. Oh, Himiksan and Misan are both Class, their magic control ability should be proportionate to that. Because the two are party members, that’s right!
“I don’t know if I can get you to understand with this reply, but if the control of combination magic is difficult for one person, why not share it between the two of you? That way, I think that not only will the magic be completed quickly, but the power will also be greater than Rifisan’s, won’t it?” (Akane)
Eh? What’s with this silence? Was that an incorrect answer?
“AAaaaahhhh! That’s right, Himika! It’ll be fine if us two do it!” (Mia)
“How stupid of us! That’s right, if you cooperate with me, Mia, then we can do it faster than Rifisan, and the power will definitely be greater as well. Sasha, thank you. I was too fixated on doing it alone.” (Himika)
For some reason, the two asked to shake my hand, and hugged me.
“Sasha, thank you! Himika, let’s go practice in the suburbs from now on.” (Mia)
“Of course.” (Himika)
Both Misan and Himiksan gallantly went away from here.
I’m glad they were able to be satisfied.
When I returned to the training field, the adventurers were starting a mock battle. Finn was also mixed in there. I guess the people around her don’t know that she’s the princess of Rhedenburg~. Let’s not say anything. Will-san and Roy-san noticed me and came over here.
“Sasha, once again, I am Will Beans, nice to meet you.” (Will)
“And I am Roy Crottos, nice to meet you.” (Roy)
As I was asked to shake hands, I shook the two’s hands, and introduced myself once again as well.
“I’m Sasha. It’s nice to meet you.” (Akane)
Will-san is a soft-looking person. He’s a different type than Roy-san. A question came from that Will-san.
“By the way, Mia and Himika went out with an amazing smile, did you say something?” (Will)
“Aah, they questioned me about a magic, so after I gave them advice and they both understood, they said they’d try it out in the suburbs.” (Akane)
“Advice, is it? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the two make such bright expressions.” (Will)
“Yeah, it’s been a long time for me as well. They were brooding a lot over something recently. I guess they made a break through by consulting with Sasha.” (Roy)
They haven’t spoken to Will-san and Roy-san about it, huh? Let’s keep it a secret.
“To change the topic, watching your mock battle I thought that Will-san’s strong points were the wind and storm attributes, and Roy-san’s strong points were the water and ice attributes. Is this correct?” (Akane)
“You figured out that much in the mock battle? That’s amazing. That’s right, my strong points are the wind and storm attributes.” (Will)
“What amazing powers of observation. Yeah, my strong points are the water and ice attributes.” (Roy)
Then, I’ll teach『Tornado Bomb』to Will-san, and『––––––』to Roy-san.
“There are magics that I have developed, would you like to try memorizing them? If you master these, you two’s offensive ability will raise quite a bit.” (Akane)
I had Misan’s and Himiksan’s matters as well, it was okay. After I explained the two magics, Will-san and Roy-san were both shocked.
“『Tornado Bomb』, is it? It’s right up my alley. The same for Roy’s magic.” (Will)
“Oh, 『––––––』? Is it considerably difficult to control?” (Roy)
––––An hour later, all the adventurers grew familiar with『Magical Power Cladding』, and thanked me repeatedly. Let’s give them some advice here.
“Everyone, please be careful, even if you have『Magical Power Cladding』. When the ranks of the evil tribes rise, I think that there’ll be some who clad themselves in evil power unconsciously. Even among you, I think that even the same evil tribes have different strengths, and when higher rank evil tribes are fighting, certain kill moves become suddenly ineffective. I imagine you have experience with the effects of magic being reduced.” (Akane)
The high-rank adventurers nodded all at once. Bahn-san also put in a follow-up.
“Indeed. At first, we were advancing advantageously, but then that bastard suddenly became stronger. I fought while cooperating with Rifia, and in the end, I was just barely able to win with my certain kill move. Maybe that was because it was cladding itself in evil power?” (Bahn)
With Bahn-san’s follow-up as well, all of the adventurers uniformly understood.
Come to think of it, I thought it unexpectedly when I saw Bahn-san. “This person has mastered the flame attribute, huh?”.
“Sorry for this being all of a sudden, but have you mastered the flame attribute, Bahn-san?” (Akane)
“I have, but why so sudden? If you use appraisal, I’ll know?” (Bahn)
“If I use something like appraisal on Will-san or you, Bahn-san, it’ll be exposed in one go.” (Akane)
Here, Will-san also came.
“What? We know when you do it. Because in our classes, when appraised, we’ll feel discomfort.” (Will)
“I have mastered the flame attribute. As a test, how about I dwell flames in my sword?” (Bahn)
Hm, a red flame dwelled in the orichalcum sword. Amazing, it has quite a bit of power.
But, it’s not quite there. It’s incomplete.
“Bahn-san, please listen to me without getting angry. That power is still incomplete. How about you try using power one-step higher?” (Akane)
The surroundings became chaotic. It was to be expected, huh. It was like I was picking a fight with him.
“Fuu, Oi, Sasha, are you saying that seriously?” (Bahn)
He’s been applying『Coercion』. He’s seriously angry, huh?
“Yeeep, I’m saying it seriously. May you lend me your sword? I’ll show you now.” (Akane)
“–––––––Okay, show me.” (Bahn)
Perhaps he thought I was serious after he saw my serious facial expression.
Everyone was watching me.
“Well then, it’s the flame Bahn-san used first, but it’s more like this.” (Akane)
After making a flame dwell in the sword, I compressed it even more than Bahn-san did, and converged it.
“Oi oi, you’re joking, right? Suddenly showing me an outrageous thing.” (Bahn)
“What are you saying? Bahn-san, you can use『Magical Power Cladding』now, so you can do this much immediately. After this is the real show.” (Akane)
The red flame dwelling in the sword changed to a bluish-white. Everyone watching held their breath. I guess they know that just now when it changed to blue, the power rose many times over.
“Oi, Sasha, what is this! I’ve never seen such power!” (Bahn)
“This is the completed form of flame magic. Should you master the essence of flames, it will look like this. You’ll be able to master it before long, Bahn-san.” (Akane)
“Teach me now! If you display a thing like this, I’ll want to learn it immediately!” (Bahn)
“Alright. Because currently, the only one who can master it is you, Bahn-san.” (Akane)
Yep, unless you make your wonderous flame magic level 10 (MAX), it couldn’t transform into blue. Even though I just made an incomplete burning burn perfectly–––how strange. Bahn-san, you’re amazing after all. After only about 30 minutes, he completely mastered it.
And now, the time to speak about my trump card had come at last.
If you guys notice anything wrong, please let me know!
See you ….perhaps soon?
