Chapter 161.2
Just one thing, though… I’m concerned about the uneven area formed after casting the spell .

I was trying to visualize a straight line, but it seems my control was lacking .
“One more time…” [Ryouma]
I visualized harder and imagined a blade cutting the wall .
I calmed down my heart and patiently controlled my mana .
I also changed the name of the spell to make it easier to visualize .
“… ‘Stone Cutter’ ! …I guess this is good enough . ” [Ryouma]
The cut was a lot cleaner this time around and the groove formed were about half as wide as before . The cut itself was also smoother .
I wish the cut would be even narrower, but this is good enough for now . I’ll think of how to do that later .
“Next is…” [Ryouma]
After the second cast of the spell, the wall now resembled a pillar somewhat . I tried crushing that wall with a spell .
After all, I am able to succeed in controlling Break Rock… It should be fine if I’m a bit rough .
I went ahead and visualized the wall cracking .
“… ‘Crack’! Alright! Another success!” [Ryouma]
A lightning-like crack formed on the detached part, then the wall broke from the middle and collapsed with a thunderous roar toward the front .

As expected, earth magic really has a lot of freedom .
Although it’s also because I’m used to it, but it’s really easy to do what you want with it .
“Ah, maybe I can do even that . ” [Ryouma]
I thought of something and gave it a try . Somehow this has gotten really fun!
What I thought of was those crater things that I often saw in manga .
Those craters that formed when someone got hit and was sent smashing to some piece of earth .
Right . Let’s call it…
” ‘Wall Break’ !!” [Ryouma]
I mustered even more mana than I have so far and pushed it into the wall, then I made it flow all over it .
Then spider-nest-like cracks formed deeply on the wall, and the wall started to collapse .
I’m sure the wall will collapse if I continue at this just a little more .
“Oh!” [Ryouma]
A result just as I’d imagined!
And it sped up my work by a whole lot too!
“About 2 meters in diameter, I guess . ” [Ryouma]

That’s a huge progress compared to the initial 40cm I was working with . I’m using more mana now than before, but considering how much I’m able to cover, this way is still more efficient . If I cast this spell another time, I will have collapsed most of this wall .
“What’s going on!?” [Young Man]
“Huh!?” [Ryouma]
While I was having fun with the results of my magic, the man from before came back .
“Good job out there! What’s the matter?” [Ryouma]
“We’ve been hearing a lot of loud sounds coming from here since a while ago, so the boss told me to go take a look . Did you do this?” [Young Man]
“Yes! I tried doing it in my own style! What do you think?” [Ryouma]
“…You might actually be an amazing mage . ” [Young Man]
“Thank you very much . I’m skilled at earth magic and people say my mana is equal to that of imperial court mages . ” [Ryouma]
“In any case, there doesn’t seem to be any problems, so please continue . I have other orders, but I don’t really know what to do, so I’ll just call my boss . ” [Young Man]
“I understand!” [Ryouma]
After that the field overseer himself acknowledged my work and I continued destroying walls .
Work ended around noon . I was able to store a lot of rubble into my dimension home, so I was able to go back in high spirits .
As I was about to leave…
“Hey . If you want you can work with us permanently . ” [Boss]
Their boss offered me employment, but I courteously refused .
I went back to the adventurers guild to rendezvous with Fei-san .
“Uncle, you’re so strong~” [Pretty Female Adventurer 1]
“If you want, you can party with us . ” [Pretty Female Adventurer 2]
“Unfortunately, I have another job . Thank you for inviting me though . ” [Fei]
“Uncle, are you single?” [Pretty Female Adventurer 3]
“I have a daughter as young as you girls!” [Fei]
Fei-san was really popular with the pretty female adventurers .
“Damn it! If I just called out to them sooner!” [Envious Adventurer 1]
“Just who is that old man!” [Envious Adventurer 2]
“Umm~ Excuse me . Did something happen?” [Ryouma]
Apparently, according to the male adventurers who were looking at Fei-san full of envy, Fei-san had taken a job after registering and was able to succeed . He then went to the receptionist to report .
It so happened that a party of female adventurers that was starting to get popular was on the counter next to him .
“It was then that a group of adventurers infamously known for their poor habits with women came . They had just finished work, so they wanted to drink…” [Envious Adventurer 1]
That group saw the group of female adventurers and wanted to mingle .
Although the group of male adventurers had a bad habit with women and liquor, they were stronger than the female adventurers and wouldn’t listen to the receptionist woman when she tried to stop them .
Fei-san couldn’t just watch without doing anything, so he called out to them . Unfortunately, he hurt their and he had to hold them down .
And now, the situation is like this… Hey, Fei-san, what story are you a protagonist in?
“Ah, Boss! Save me! Why are you just standing there watching!?” [Fei]
Ah, he found me .
As for why I was just standing here, it’s because I didn’t understand the situation and didn’t really know whether it would be a good idea to call out in the first place .
I mean… Look at those eyes! Those women are scary! Those are the eyes of a carnivorous predator!
“…Sorry . Please wait a while longer . I have to report the success of my job . Also, I don’t specialize in female relationships, so…” [Ryouma]
“Boss! Boss!” [Fei]
Reporting the completion of a job is absolutely crucial to adventurers .
I’ll come back as soon as I’m done .
So, Fei-san, just wait a little bit longer .
And if possible, please do something about those women by the time I get back!
I quickly walked to the counter .
