In the kiln room of the "Arsenal of Spirits," refiners were busy at work today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh gives instructions to the workers under her charge, while keeping a close eye on the ore being refined in the kiln.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When she first came to the "Arsenal of the Spirits," she had no special talents, but now she is a first-rate smelter who manages five kilns and five alchemists.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please shut down kilns No. 1 and No. 2.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Aryeh gave the order, those working in front of the kiln hurriedly turned off the fire, took out the ore, and brought it to Aryeh.

(This is only going to be silver B now. (This one is going to be silver A.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've already refined this one to the last, since it will only turn into silver B. This one will be silver A, so I will train it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh instructed the ores that were likely to become silver A to be scraped and beaten with metal fittings to remove excess impurities, and then put them back into the kiln.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the refining process is finished, a fine "silver A" is extracted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The workers were amazed at the high quality of the finished silver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh," said one of the workers. Silver A again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think we've already gotten more than ten today alone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't compete with him after all. I can't compete with Aryeh-san.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, it's too bad I have to go back to the guild for that. I wanted to learn more from Mr. Aryeh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh looked at the view with some wonder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though they were all well-known alchemists in the city, seconded from major guilds, none of them could do what he could do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(After all, no one could refine better than me. So this is what a major alchemy guild is like.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh had been somewhat out of touch, but now that she was working with them, she was finally realizing that she had become the best refiner in town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How's the refining going?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's going well. Aryeh is as steady as ever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland was discussing with Lange in the waiting room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking over the production results submitted by Lange, it seemed that he was right, the production of "Silver A" and "Earthcraft" was going well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm. As expected of Aryeh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, we expect a delay in production starting next week because the people sent from Mr. Zens' guild will be leaving. Do you think you will be able to procure staff?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've approached a few workshops and they've said they'll send a refiner and a miner out on loan. At any rate, I think we can get the right number of people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?　Good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lange was relieved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lukius had banned his alchemy guilds from collaborating with the "Arsenal of Spirits," but the effect did not extend to the small guilds at the end of the line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The guilds under the direct control of the "Golden Hawk" would have no choice but to submit to the decree, but the small guilds that were on the verge of collapse had nothing to worry about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason they were going under in the first place was also due to excessive buying by Lucius.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The quality is indeed lower than the people sent from Zens' guild, but can they make it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll be fine. As long as I can get the manpower, I'll see what I can do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. I'm really glad you're here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland thus decided to turn his back on his career and concentrate on his duties as a special advisor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilianne had submitted a budget application for the next month to the head of the "Guardians of the Magic Tree" guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The head of the guild. Here is the budget for next month's troops. I hope you approve it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lillianne," he said. I'd like to talk to you about your special advisor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guild president began to speak in his usual ostentatious tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I still think we should follow Lukius' request," he said. According to the report from Wirik, Roland's skill in training is also questionable. And I still don't think it's a good idea to have a head-on confrontation with the Golden Eagle. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Guild President!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne leaned forward, banging on her desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guild president freaked out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'We have no choice but to focus on nurturing now, you know?　If we give up Mr. Roland here, we will forever lose our advantage against the 'Golden Eagle'."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ugh, but you're right. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you insist on letting go of Mr. Roland, please fire me first. Then I will start up the Adventurers' Guild with Mr. Roland."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ugh. I understand. Let's see how things go for a while longer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne left the guild leader's room and sighed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Oh dear. All this just for appointing Mr. Roland as a special advisor. I can't imagine what's going to happen next.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilianne is stuck leaning against the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was a little sleep-deprived because she had been going around to all the relevant places and laying the groundwork.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（She was a little sleep-deprived because she had been making the rounds to all the parties involved, but if she didn't work hard here, all her efforts would be for naught. I have to support Mr. Roland.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne closed her eyes for a bit to rest, then got back into the swing of things and back away from the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A new month had begun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Three new dungeons appear on the outskirts of the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One is the "Forest Dungeon" where beasts live, one is the "Mine Dungeon" where the dead live, and one is the "Demon Dungeon" where demons live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Adventurers rushed to the quest office to find a tasty quest that suited their rank, and those who wanted an item requested a quest for the item from the quest office.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While some quests were open to the public, others were for guilds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of the tasty quests were released first to the "Golden Eagle" and the "Guardian of the Magic Tree," which split the city's power in two.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The two guilds began to organize their forces, examining the dungeons and quests that appeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The main force commanded exclusively by Lilianne in "The Guardian of the Magic Tree" discussed which of the three dungeons that appeared would be attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In addition to the executives of the Guardians of the Magical Tree, Roland, the special advisor, also attended the dungeon strategy meeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I intend to attack the "Mining Dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilianne said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Our goal at the moment is to increase the size of the 'Arsenal of the Spirits. All we need is access to ore. To that end, we must ensure that we conquer the 'mining dungeon,' where a large number of ores can be found in the dungeon."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Indeed, now that Lukius has tightened up the routes for obtaining ore, it would be the end if the "Golden Hawk" took away the dungeon where ore can be extracted. (Surely, now that Lucius has closed the routes for obtaining ore, if the "Golden Hawk" takes away the dungeon where ore can be extracted, we are finished. (But of course, that's what Lucius must be thinking)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you think, Mr. Roland?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While Roland was pondering, Lillianne came over to talk to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, I too think it would be best to take the mine. But the "Golden Eagle" knows that. It will probably be a fierce battle, you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm prepared for that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne smiled somewhat tremendously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(If Lillianne says so, then I guess I have to believe her.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I will concentrate on nurturing. I'll take the sluggish group to the 'Forest Dungeon' ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry. Do you have a minute?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland was about to tell us about his plans when Willik interrupted him and raised his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... what is it?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I still think,' he said. I wonder if I can leave all of the training to Mr. Roland, who came out of nowhere. No, I don't think so. I meant that it is not good to put too much pressure on Mr. Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Willik. I thought we were done talking about that, right?　Mr. Roland is ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, yes. I think. I think that we should split the responsibility half and half, me and Roland."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not caring that Lillianne interrupted him, Willik continued his story and made a suggestion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'What do you mean?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In other words. In other words, I and Mr. Roland will take care of the sluggish group half by half. Let's see who's better at teaching. Whoever wins will take the lead in the guild's future training policy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's good. That's good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guild leader, who had just been wiping the sweat from his forehead, suddenly expressed his approval.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Lilianne glared at the guild leader, he quickly looked away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, he did not withdraw his offer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a matter of fact, this proposal was based on a prior agreement between Willik and the guild leader.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The intention was as follows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Roland wins and the guild is strengthened, that would be good, and if Wirik wins, that would create the fact that he treated Roland coldly and maintain the relationship with the "Golden Eagle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Either way, the guild would be safe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, it was also meant to be a check on Lillianne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Lillianne is getting too aggressive these days. (Lilianne is getting too aggressive these days.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland said simply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, could you say that, Mr. Roland?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But please don't let the members know that there has ostensibly been such a contest.　I don't want to put extra pressure on them, as they are even just growing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, it was agreed between Roland and Wirik that they would each divide the adventurers they were responsible for teaching in half, and that they would compete based on how well each had grown during the month, with the loser following the policy of the winner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While the "Guardians of the Magical Tree" were finalizing their dungeon strategy and training policy, the "Golden Eagle" was also holding a dungeon strategy meeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Only A-rank adventurers and troop leaders were allowed to participate in the dungeon strategy meetings of the Golden Eagle, which were in effect the highest decision-making body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After the defeat of the "Guardians of the Magic Tree" last month, the members were eager to conquer all three dungeons this month, but the meeting was in chaos from the outset.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lucius, what in the world is going on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Arik, an A-rank adventurer and captain of the first "Golden Hawk" unit, was questioning Lukius about his troop formation plan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you have to complain about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There's nothing to complain about," he said, "I can't believe they would uproot B-rated archers, support mages, and healers from the main force. Are you asking us to attack a dungeon with C-rank riflemen, support staff, and healers?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As for the B-rank archers, support mages, and healers, they have another important mission.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Important mission?　There are no more important missions than dungeon crawling. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Arik. Since when are you in a position to interfere in troop personnel matters?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You only have to think about conquering the dungeon," he said. In the first place. You are too much dependent on the organizational power of the Gilded Eagle these days, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've always been backed up, and it's easy to make the mistake of thinking that we can just whisk away B-Class adventurers and the like. You guys can't even conquer a dungeon without a squad of B-Class adventurers?　If you are the commander of the "Golden Eagle," you can train your men while attacking dungeons. Let me try to do at least that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. Alik. What are you scared of?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sebasta, another A-rank adventurer and unit leader, slumped in his chair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not scared ......," he said. Just be more careful. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The main force of the "Guardians of the Magic Tree" is also a mixed B- and C-class unit, except for Lillianne. They are not much of a threat."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Or what?　Shall my second unit take charge of the 'mining dungeon' for you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sebasta was an A-rank adventurer in terms of ability, but he was a bit overconfident.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had a sense of rivalry with Alik and immediately tried to mount him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alik, for his part, could not afford to back down from such a blatant challenge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there anyone else who has an objection?　No?　Well then, that's all for the dungeon strategy meeting. Each of you will strive to live up to the name "Golden Eagle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Taking advantage of Alik's silence, Lucius ends the meeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alik still had something to say, but he had to bite his teeth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lately, Arik had been getting more and more of a hard time from these two.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the past, he had been able to bring it to a two-for-two situation because Marco had been more cautious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus the two guilds would begin their search for the dungeon, with both camps feeling conflicted and uneasy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland had come before the "Forest Dungeon" to lead one of the units of the "Guardians of the Magic Tree".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The three ace candidates, Monica, Shakuma, and Yufine, were also there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These three were asked to gather prior to the troop assembly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland saw that the three had gathered and began to explain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Alright. I'll explain then. The purpose of this dungeon search is not to conquer the dungeon, but to train the troops. More specifically, the training of you three.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The three of them all looked nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think you three have what it takes to be Class A adventurers. Of course, at this stage, it is only a possibility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The three of them still didn't seem to have a clue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Not unreasonably. I've been in D class all this time. We'll just have to build up our confidence little by little.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland decided to start by unsettling the three of them for the time being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For now," he said, "it's been a long time since all three of us have been in this profession. Let's start with a review of each of your professions. Monica. What is the role of an archer?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I am. There are three main roles of an archer. Reduction of enemy forces in the firefight before the white combat. Intercepting enemies attacking from the air. And to provide covering fire during the white combat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She gave a slurred, exemplary answer despite her sudden conversion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps she had prepared and reviewed for this day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She seemed to be a serious person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(But ...... I can't do cover fire, can I? I don't have agility (agility), so I can't always get a dominant position ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica thinks so and feels gloomy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yeah. That's right. But you don't have agility. So you'll have to abandon covering fire and intercept the air power. I will ask you to focus on these two points.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have also prepared equipment for that purpose. Here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland hands Monica a bow and arrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a huge iron bow as long as she was tall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is an 'iron-breaking bow'!　It's also a limited edition model made by Dorwin. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had to work hard to get it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland had to run around the city to stores to get his hands on an "iron-breaking bow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Heavy)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Monica held the "iron-breaking bow," it felt heavier than an ordinary bow and arrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even she, with her high arm strength (power), felt the weight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She said, "Agility has little to do with frontal firefighting and anti-aircraft firefighting. Instead, firepower, range, and rapid-fire performance come into play. The "iron-breaking bow" is perfect for demonstrating all of these things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica looked at Roland curiously and seriously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I can't believe you're throwing away your covering fire. I've never seen anyone teach like this.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While this was going on, the members of the troop gathered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In addition to the members of the "Guardians of the Magic Tree," there were also those who had been hired temporarily for the occasion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looks like the other members have gathered as well. Well, then, time is running out. Let's go to the dungeon right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica entered the dungeon and proceeded, protected by Warrior shields on both sides.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if a monster appeared from the flanks and took her by surprise, the people on both sides would respond.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This allowed her to focus on the enemy in front of her without worrying about her agility disadvantage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica recalled what Roland had told her as they advanced through the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'First of all, concentrate only on shooting your bows. Hit the enemies in the front with arrows. That's all you need to do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland first tried to get Monica to develop her bow-shooting skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Other than that, he would not let her use her stamina for anything else.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Are you serious?　I can't believe they wouldn't let a bowman (archer) provide cover fire (......).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica still remains skeptical as she continues through the dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that moment, a monster appeared in front of the group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was three goblins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The distance was about 50 meters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They seemed to have noticed Monica and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were running toward us, weapons at the ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Warriors on both sides readied their weapons.

　The goblin, hit in the shoulder, falls on its back and struggles.

　There was no time to pierce it.

　Monica lowers her bow and steps back.

Mr. Roland.

Two out of four hits. Isn't that good for your first real fight in a while?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica was relieved by Roland's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I wondered what kind of a tough quota they would set for me since they said I could become a class A archer, but it was surprisingly normal. I think I can handle this. I'm glad. (Mr. Roland is a sensible person.)

　Monica, who had been inwardly worried about the future, was relieved for the time being that she would be able to follow Roland's guidance for the time being.

But eventually you will have to improve your accuracy, rate of fire, and range.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

I'm going to use this formation for a while so that you can regain your sense of real combat as an archer and get used to the 'iron-breaking bow. Focus on these two things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

　As the group proceeded, ten goblins appeared.

Deploy the White Guard!　Don't let them get around you.

　Roland shouted, and the white troops spread out in a horizontal line so that the enemy could not get around their flanks.

　Monica readied her bow and arrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She fired an arrow and hit two more, disabling them in battle.

　This time it took three arrows to do it, but that was as far as she got.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goblins were caught in between.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica dropped to the rear guard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rest would have to be left to the white army troops.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bowman's (archer's) attacks are linear, so if she moves to the rear guard, there is nothing more she can do.

　If they shoot their arrows badly, they will hit their allies in the vanguard.

　Therefore, you should go around to the flanks and shoot to cover them. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing. I'm not sure if it's really okay. I don't have to do anything.

　Monica said as she and Roland watched from the back as the white army troops fought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yeah. We'll leave the rest to them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But ......"

This exploration is about developing your skills. You are not to use your stamina for anything other than honing your 'bow-shooting' skills. Understood?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ugh. Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is still room for improvement in your bow shooting. I agree. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland gave Monica some advice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aim at the nearest enemy in front of you, make your initial movement as fast as possible before you ready your arrow (so that you are aware of your center of gravity while advancing), and be aware that you can immediately nock another arrow after you have released it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's about it for now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. I'll give it a try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My immediate goal is to hit all four of them before the white soldiers."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

　In the meantime, the white army unit had killed all the goblins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica continued to fire arrows at the enemies ahead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(She really just keeps shooting arrows. I've never concentrated so much on shooting. But ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica grabbed an arrow from her bow and took aim at the goblin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Again, 10 goblins appeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, three of them had already fallen prey to Monica's arrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was still some distance to go before they came in contact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(This is not so difficult. (This is not difficult at all.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica's arrow hits the goblin in the face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goblin fell on its back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(It was done.) The goblin fell on its back. I was able to hit 4 goblins with arrows before I came in contact with them. ...... Really, I'm an A-class archer?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She almost believed it for a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(No way. I'm dreaming too much just because I changed my equipment a little. This is not going to work in a deeper dungeon.)

　The group moves deeper into the dungeon, with Monica at the head of the group.
