Three layers of plains?
I guess so.

　As we descended to the third level, Lara rolled her eyes and scurried around.
　It was not unreasonable.

　The first level was like a ruin, and the second level was like a forest.
　If you are suddenly in a place this large, it is understandable that you are confused.

''This was the area used for rookie games up to this point, right?''

　Marlies asks.
　As Marlies said, the exchange game will range from one to three layers.
　For me, I'd be willing to dive deeper, but apparently it's for the safety of the students.

　To explain the rules in more detail, it seems that each school will form a party of five representatives from each other's school.
　And the winner is the one who gets the most valuable items within the time limit.

The demon is here. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
'What!　You're going to test it on a demon?

　A bird-shaped monster that comes from far away.

　Is that an Evil Bird.........
　Lara and Marise brace themselves.

The two of us can handle it. If you're in danger, we'll give you a hand.
I'm worried, but I'll do my best!
I understand!

　Lara and Marise fired a fire spear at the flying Evil Bird.
　Although he fired several times, he had difficulty hitting the Evil Bird.
　However.

''It hit!''

　The fire spear released by Marise hit Evil Bird.
　The struck down Evil Bird fell slowly and rolled to the ground.


Marise, you look amazing!
Oh, of course!

　Marise, who was hugged by Lara, pouted and looked at her, but her cheeks were slightly pink.

'Okay, let's keep going at this rate... hmm?'
What's going on, Kurt?
The air has changed.

　A large demon was caught in the detection magic.
　It seems to be coming towards us from afar.
　This is.........

''Both of you, the behemoth is coming this way.
What?
Just in time. I'll come back for you.
No! It's not possible!　Isn't the behemoth a disaster-grade demon!

　Behemoths are disaster-grade?
　You know how in a previous life, children used to hunt these demons when they were practicing?

　Of course, they're stronger than Lizardmen and Evilbirds.
　But to me, they're more of a small animal than a monster.
　They're not even a threat.

What's the matter with you?　Are you two possibly excited that the behemoths have arrived?
'I'm frightened! (Yes!)

　The two men shouted in unison.

　In the meantime, the behemoth came right in front of them.

'Oh, it's big!'

　Lara looks up at the behemoth.
　Behemoth is a giant quadrupedal demon.

''Goooooooooo!''

　The behemoths will put their paws up, threaten us.

"Back off, both of you, or I'll have this assault on your heads in five seconds.
I don't care how many times Kurt can't do it for five seconds!

　What are you talking about?
　I would have missed five seconds of my life.

　The behemoths come at us with a heroic yell.
　I draw my sword and leap forward with a layer of body-enhancing magic.

''You have some serious nerve coming at me.

　In no time at all, I'm overtaking the behemoth's head.
　Behemoth's eyes don't seem to be able to keep up with my movements.

　I gave the sword itself a 【Sharpening】 spell.
　And then I cut off the behemoth's head and body as it passes to the other side.

'If it's a behemoth, it's still like this.

　Behemoth's body slowly fell to the ground.

''Hey, what happened!
I don't know. It was too early to see.

　Lara and Marise come running up to me with a tata.

''That was something called granting magic. It instantly strengthens the sword and... hmm?

　So I look again at the sword I had brought with me.

　Palin.

'Whoa!　It's cracked!

　The sword shattered into pieces with a sound like glass breaking.

''Hmmm.......I knew it had to be a higher quality sword to withstand my grant?''

　He stroked his chin as he looked at the sword with only the handle left on it.

　Originally, when he left the village, he had brought a suitable sword that was around.
　That's exactly the kind of sword that would immediately spill over the blade even if an ordinary person who couldn't use magic used it.

　It's not that I couldn't withstand the impact I just had.
　It's that the sword couldn't withstand my magical power and collapsed from the inside.
　If it was a cheap sword, I wouldn't be particularly surprised because this kind of thing happens.
　Or rather, I'm amazed that you've endured so well.

''When we return to King's Landing, I'll have to buy a new sword.

　I muttered.

''Well it's time to go back to King's Landing. That's it for today. I'd like to get to the 100th level anyway, but....
'Don't say something outrageous about 100 layers!
But it's strange because it seems like Kurt could do it.

　But I haven't brought a good amount of money to buy a new sword.
　I want to use the magic stones to process weapons and such....

　If that's the case.

''Can we bring back the behemoth?

　I shift my gaze to the fallen behemoth.

'How can I buy one with it?'
'Lara, we're going to take that apart and bring it home. Still, the three of us won't be able to do it all...
What a waste.
It's not an option.

　What are you two talking about?

I'm taking it all home.
"What?
Yup.

　I raise my hand to the behemoth, and a pale light is created.
　And when the light is gone.

Behemoth gone?
Where did he go?

　Lara put her hand over her mouth and Marise was surprised to see her lean forward.

'I used storage magic. This way we can take it all home without having to go through the messy process of dismantling it, right?

　However, I personally don't like storage magic, though. In order to carry it around, you have to constantly consume your magic power while using the storage magic.
　This level of magic power still doesn't cause you to run out of magic power, but it makes you feel somewhat uncomfortable.

''Storage magic?!　Wasn't that lost magic?
I've only heard of it in books...

　Apparently, storage magic isn't common in this world either.
　What in the world is normal and which is not........

　Well, let's investigate that slowly.

I'm sure you have no regrets. Let's go back to King's Landing, both of you.
