122-Infinite Ring Fire Dragon Battle: Reflections




 The fire dragon was killed by Diniel's arrow and began to leak particles of light. Seeing the fire dragon that was no longer moving, Tsutomu called out to Diniel next to him.


''Good work.''
Hey.


 Not particularly impressed by this, Diniel returns his usual languid voice.


'Yay!'
Yes!
Oh, shucks!


 But the other three were very happy, in contrast to Diniel, and they were so happy that all three of them fell together in a hug. And then, relieved that the battle was over, they slumped to the ground as it was.


'Amira, are you okay?'
..........


 She seems to have already let it all out with her earlier cry and is gasping for breath in a huff. Unlike Camille, the time she can turn into a dragon is short, and the medic can only alleviate her fatigue, but she can't fully recover.

 Daryl is also sweating all over and has several drops of water dripping on the ground, and Hannah is twitching as if she has overworked her wings on her back. Tsutomu waited for the three of them to calm down while retrieving the colorless magic stone that was dropped from the fire dragon.


''Tutu, Tsutomu! You've won!
Yes.
'Thank God! Now I won't have to get mad at you, Mr. Garum!


 Tsutomu handed the towel back to Daryl as he approached, waving his sweat-streaked black bangs. The absorbent towel would soon be drenched in sweat.


'Hannah, can you stand?'
I'm not going to take one more step.
Amira doesn't look like she's going to make it either. Daryl. I'm sorry you're tired, but will you carry me on your back? Diniel, take care of Hannah.
'Ehh. I'd rather have you carry me on your back.
Good luck.


 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace. I'm sure that Daryl has also become accustomed to carrying Amira on his back. And so the infinite circle left the 60th level.

 The infinite circle quickly returned to the clan house while gathering the eyes of the surroundings in the guild. Oli, who was doing laundry, came running down from the second floor to greet the five of them.


''I'm tired, sss........''
'I'm sorry, but we're going to have a review of the fire dragon battle now. I want to look back on the battle while I can remember it. We'll rest afterwards.
Oops....


 She nodded in exasperation as she told Hannah, who looked limp after being put down by Diniel. Amira seemed to have recovered a bit, but she was tired and didn't seem to be in a state where she could afford to do much.

 After everyone gathered in the living room and once again wiped their bodies, they sat down on the soft sofa. Hannah, who looked the most tired, was about to fall asleep as it was, but she seemed to have managed to stay conscious.

 When Oli offers them all a glass of cold lemon juice, Hanna slowly holds it in both hands and begins to sip it. The tartness of the lemon soaks into her tired body. Amira quickly drank it down and demanded a refill. In the meantime, Tsutomu, who doesn't look as tired as Diniel, put a blank piece of paper on the desk.


''First of all, thank you all for your hard work. This is the first time we've been fighting this long in this PT, but I think it went around well.''


 The battle time against the fire dragon was roughly three hours. For two people who are new to fighting fire dragons themselves, they were able to defeat them in a moderately quick time. The results of that battle would be fair.


I'm going to tell you what I feel for the time being. If you need anything else, feel free to tell me.


 The four nodded as Tsutomu took a pen and tapped a blank sheet of paper with a knack for tapping it, and they nodded. Tsutomu wrote Diniel at the top first, and then the word Diniel.


'Diniel has nothing to say about it. I couldn't find anything wrong with him from my point of view.
Tozen.


 Diniel's fire dragon battle was an impressive feat. Not to mention the crystal splitting at the beginning of the game, he had performed his role as an attacker perfectly. He would certainly have dealt more damage to the fire dragons than Amira.

 After the middle of the fire dragon battle, Hannah and Amira began to collapse due to lack of stamina, and there were many difficult moments when Daryl was overwhelmed. In those cases, Diniel had himself turn the fire dragon's hate on himself and also performed a pseudo-avoidance tank to support the three of them. That's something she can do only because she has challenged fire dragons hundreds of times and knows their movements and habits.

 Even when Amira was fatally wounded when her movements slowed down due to the overuse of the dragonization, she was able to knock out enough firepower on her own. If either the offense or defense collapsed, Diniel made up for it, and since she knew where to relax her power, she didn't run out of stamina. I'd say she was the most important contributor to the victory against the Fire Dragon.


'Daryl also did well for the first time. He was a bit of a mess at first, but after that he was moderately good.
Thank you!
'But every time the others crumbled, they stopped moving. Daryl is the pillar of the PT right now, so I'd like to see him be more poised.
'Yes, yes. I'm sorry...
Of course we'll support Daryl. You can be more confident. I'm supporting this PT! And...
I don't know. Can I be a pillar?


 Daryl replied confidently, his black drooping ears drooping further down as if he was afraid. He has the skills of a tank, but pride, pride, is something that Daryl lacks. It's a good thing that you have a true feeling that you're going to lose to Garum anyway, even if you occasionally get carried away.


Well, I'll be gaining confidence in the future. I don't think I'll get it that quickly.
Yes!
Okay, now Hannah. Don't be so defensive.
Yes, sir.


 As if she was aware that she had a problem with the fire dragon battle, Hannah visibly strengthened her body and waited for the words to be spoken. Tsutomu writes crisply on the paper, feeling a little uncomfortable


'The dodging tank itself was good. The movement wasn't bad, and I was able to read the preliminary movements of the breaths well. The only problem was my stamina.
Well.....


 Lack of stamina. That was Hannah's issue that was highlighted in the fire dragon battle.

 It's not that Hannah herself doesn't have stamina. She was a fast-moving attacker in Aldoret Crow, so she has the stamina of a man. However, standing around the dodging tank was an exercise that was not enough even with Hannah's stamina.

 Thanks to Tsutomu's assistance, it was harder than usual to run out of stamina, but the medic recovering from fatigue wouldn't be able to recover completely either. And with the combination of his mental strength, he couldn't be able to hit Hannah all the time.

 An evasive tank, which requires you to avoid monsters' attacks while attacking them, uses a lot of energy. And Hannah has only been dodging tanks for two months. Her movements were inevitably uneven and she was wasting her energy.

 In the middle to the end of the fire dragon battles, she was running out of stamina and began to lose her decision-making ability, and there were several times when she was lightly hit by the fire dragon's breaths. Despite the fact that he had fought dozens of times and was familiar with the movements, Hannah was unable to avoid the fire dragon's breaths.


"I think it's probably because I was so excited about the fire dragon fight, but my movements were faster than usual. I'm sure you were at your limit by the middle of the game, so be careful with your physical management next time.
Yes, sir.
'Hannah's not very good at slacking off. You should take a lesson from me.
Geez....


 In fact, Diniel had saved her so many times during the battle, and even made her do an avoidance tank, that Hannah couldn't say anything back. She could only do a modest defiance of glaring at Diniel in frustration.


'Also, your skill spinning was horrible at the end of the day, and you didn't even listen to instructions as if you were listening to them. Maybe you were too tired to hear me?
I'm sorry...
'It's okay. I'm rather surprised at how far you've come in the first two months of avoiding the tank. I'll be fine at this rate. I'm going to make some adjustments to increase the meds on Hannah as well.


 Tsutomu usually smiles as if there is something behind the scenes, but right now he is running his pen with an innocent smile as if he were a child. Hanna's eyes widened in surprise when such a smile was directed at her, and she turned away, scratching her cheeks as if to mend them.


''The last one is Amira, right?''
Oh...


 Amira seemed to be aware of herself that the endgame was as bad as Hannah's, and she lifted her face a little awkwardly.


'The stamina loss of the dragonization was terrible. I wonder if it's the same as Hannah's there. Let's not go into it alone later. Maybe you were too tired to hear me, but I don't want you to run into me multiple times and end up dying.
Sorry.
But everything else was good. Especially with Daryl, the cooperation with Daryl is much better. I don't mind you turning into a dragon, but I'd like to see you do it a little less often.
"....reduce the amount of dragonization? What do you care about me?
'I didn't do it. Of course, the dragonization is strong, but I just don't need to use it that much. It was clearly overused in the fire dragon battle.


 Amira has done dragonization many times, as if it was the only thing she could do. It's true that dragonization is powerful, but Amira's own abilities have been getting better lately. The cooperation with Daryl is also slowly meshing with each other.


''Next time, let's reduce the amount of dragonization a little. That is, if Amira is good enough.
No problem.


 Amira looked unconvinced by Tsutomu's suggestion, but her mouth relaxed a little bit in happiness. Tsutomu took his gaze off of Amira and looked around at everyone.


'That's all from me, what do you have for Diniel?
It's mostly Tutom.
Copy that. Where's Daryl?
I don't have one either.
Really? Did you find anything in my support?
No, sir! It was awesome!


 Daryl bobbed his black tail and turned his sparkling eyes to Tsutomu. It's not just the overall support recovery for the four of them, but also the precise support for Hannah and Amira, who are quick to move. He also gives instructions to everyone.

 And this time Tsutomu was also actively participating in the attack. If there are two tanks, Tsutomu can move freely to some extent, and this allows him to attack monsters. He had been attacking in previous battles, but this time he was quite active in attacking.

 A beginner healer wouldn't complain if he was only doing support recovery. But if you are an intermediate or advanced healer, you can't just do support recovery. Healers also have a few attack skills, so you need to be able to give them high DPS.

 However, if you only focus on attacking to produce high DPS and support recovery is disrupted, it's all for naught. The balance between support recovery and DPS is a problem for intermediate healers.

 When Tsutomu first moved to this world, he was basically focused on support recovery, attacking if he had time to spare. However, he had already gotten used to it, so he also put more weight on actively producing DPS.


'Indeed, Tsutomu is strange. Could it be that he has two brains in his head?''
I'm not in it. I'm used to it. I'm used to it.
'Really? I'd like to crack it open and see if I can find out.
No, I'm afraid.


 Tsutomu was donned by Diniel, who said something outrageous so quickly, but asked Hannah and Amira for their opinions, but there didn't seem to be any in particular. He crossed his arms and growled to himself as he wrote on the form marked Tsutomu.


'For now, I'll increase the medics on Hannah and reduce Amira's dragonization. And then........I guess I'll practice my attack skills. I'd also like to think about running a barrier. I'm sure this won't be a problem for support, but as for recovery, I don't know either. Daryl, are you sure it's not a problem?
No, sir! It's rather uncomfortable being able to heal so quickly where it hurts!
'Oh, yeah. Well.....


 Tsutomu gave a subtle look at Daryl's seemingly innocent manner, and tapped the paper with a pen without holding it on hand. After that, the review meeting ended after a bit of discussion, and before you know it, Hanna, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, was carried to her room by Oli.
