16 - CHAPTER XVI -- FIRST REQUEST, WEAKEST MAGAZINE SLIM

I woke up in the morning when it was not yet light, packed my gear and headed for my usual hunting trip in the woods.

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

I wanted to see how the new knife I bought yesterday was working out, since I was going to take on my first client today.

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

I encountered some caterpillars and sheep, but to improve my skill level, I started to kill them with wind magic only.

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

After killing a few caterpillars, I finally encounter an orc.

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

"Well, let's see what the new weapon is like. ......

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

Muttering this to himself, he readies himself and makes his first move, taking a skill from the orc he is preying on.

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

Since I already have all the skills I need, I just stick them on the ground and throw them away.

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

Then, I cast 【Heavy Arm】 and 【Small Leg Strength】 on myself, and cast 【Slow Auxiliary Magic】 and 【Sleep Auxiliary Magic】 on the orcs to start the battle.

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

As was the case last time, I feel that [auxiliary magic/sleep] does not seem to work well.

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

This time, too, I could not get the effect, perhaps because it was resisted.

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

I wonder if it would be more effective if the monster is weaker than orcs.

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

Or will it work a little better if I increase my proficiency?

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

The [auxiliary magic, slowing down] seemed to work somehow, and the orcs' movements became noticeably slower.

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

After confirming this, I start running toward the orc.

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

"I can feel my body moving better than before, is this the effect of the increased level?

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

With this in mind, I cast my [magic wind] at the orc's feet.

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

The orc, whose movement had slowed down, could not avoid the [Magic Wind], and it hit him directly.

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

The orc's leg is cut off, and it tumbles forward violently, its legs entangled in the air.

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

I hit the prone orc one more time with a [Magic - Wind] shot.

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

While he screamed and struggled in pain, I slashed my newly acquired steel dagger at his right arm.

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

Without feeling any of the resistance I had felt the other day, the orc's right arm was severed and tumbled to the ground.

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

Then, I slid the dagger to the side, and cut off half of the orc's head without feeling any resistance at all.

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

I could not hide my amazement at the fact that I had severed it without feeling any resistance from the skull.

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

"What, I'm sure Uncle ...... will vouch for the sharpness of this cut."

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

Of course, I think the fact that I was using a [strong arm] probably had a lot to do with it.

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

But the feeling of cutting through flesh that I felt in the previous battle was too different from this time.

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

Originally, orcs have very tough skin, and blades cannot penetrate it easily. It literally tore through them in a blink of an eye.

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

With this dagger, as my uncle had said, it would surely be a lot easier in the coming battles.

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

I thank my uncle from the bottom of my heart, dismantle the orc I just killed with [Cut], and throw it into my storage bag.

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

It's getting light by now, so we might as well go to the guild.

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

So I decide to go home.

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

Of course, I remember to use [Shunsoku (small)] and [Strengthen Legs (small)].

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

I need to increase my skill level as much as possible.

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

Naturally, I move around using [Appraise All] as much as I can on trees and grass along the way.

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

Thus, the morning's hunt is successfully over.

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

"Good morning!"

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

I immediately went to the counter for the exclusive receptionist and inserted my guild card.

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

As explained yesterday, Ms. Aisha comes to the counter immediately.

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

Good morning, Mr. Mine. ...... You've updated your equipment, haven't you? That's pretty cool. Is that Black Wolf leather? That armor."

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

When Aisha tells me how cool I look, I can't help but blush.

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

Aisha is an amazing person, I thought, as she guessed the material of this armor at first glance.

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

"You're going to start taking requests from today, right? First of all, let's do a bunch of requests and rank up to the E level."

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

He then showed me three request forms.

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

"I have these three documents for you, Mine, under my exclusive authority, and I will explain them to you now, if you will listen to me.

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

I'm sure I'm going to get it even if I don't hear the explanation, but I'll listen carefully and do my best to get back here safely and without getting hurt.

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

The first thing Aisha-san showed me was, surprisingly, "slime defeat.

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

Slimes are famous for being the weakest demons and can be defeated if you fight carefully even if you don't know anything about fighting.

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

Even though I had just come of age and was an F-class fighter, I didn't understand why I had to deal with a slime.

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

"Is it a slime ......?"

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

Aisha-san must have seen the annoyed look on my face, because she chuckled and explained the reason.

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

"Actually, the slime oil is running out in Lunawan to the point that it is affecting life in the town, and if the situation continues as is, we will definitely be in trouble.

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

Slime oil is the fuel used for household lighting and lanterns for adventurers in the labyrinth.

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

There are even farmed slimes, which are kept by humans to obtain materials.

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

Slime oil is the fuel that is indispensable for the maintenance of the town.

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

It is said that such an important material for people's lives has been depleted in the town of Lunawan, which is quite far from here.

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

It is said that when some foolish bandits robbed the town of Lunawan, they set it on fire and made their escape.

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

Unfortunately, there was a storage of slime oil right next to the place where they set the fire, and it all caught fire at once.

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

The fire spread in the wrong direction and burned up all the slime they were cultivating.

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

Of course, there was a stockpile of oil, but of course it would be consumed over time.

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

So, the mayor of Lunawan asked the guild to come to the rescue.

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

"Slimes themselves are the weakest monsters as you know, so hunting them won't bring in any money, and their contribution to the guild won't be valued either. But now, because of this situation, you can get not much money, but you can get a ridiculous amount of points for your contribution to the guild. Just until the supply settles down. ......"

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

Aisha, you know what I'm talking about, don't you? He smiles.

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

Well, it may indeed taste good.

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

"But, with such a bad situation, are you sure you should have brought this request as an exclusive assignment?

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

"You've got a good point, actually. The official announcement is scheduled to be made tomorrow, which means that only the exclusive clients can receive it first.

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

I asked Aisha for more details.

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

"In the meantime, Lunar One has been supplied with a little oil from each town to avoid any immediate danger. So you don't have to worry.

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

Yes, I see.

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

That's a good idea.

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

We'd be in trouble if we didn't collect enough.

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

Of course, I will do my best to get as many as possible, but there is a limit to what I can do on my own.

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

I understand! Please let me take that!

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

"Okay! Then there are two more requests: ......"

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

He then told me the contents of the other two pieces of paper.

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

20 herbs, 50 coppers

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

5 goblins, 2 silver coins (5 silver coins for every 5 goblins after that)

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

These were the two.

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

According to Aisha, it would be more efficient to accept these requests since they could be done at the same time as defeating slimes.

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

In the end, we decided to accept the three requests as Aisha suggested.

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

We set out from the town of Lucas for the northern forest to accomplish the requests.
