20-16 Level that does not rise, spirit of daily progress




 Luciel woke up before the morning sun was still in his face.

''Whaaaaat. Ahhhh, I'm sleepy. I don't feel anything rise up from my body, I guess I'm hallucinating.
 Stretching and proficiency testing, practicing basic magic and examining magic.

The level of chanting shortening has risen, and the remote magician's chanting will soon reach level I. And the remote magic circle chanting will soon reach level 1.
 Although I don't check my status on a daily basis, I check my skill proficiency for area high heels and dispels, which are not currently available for holy attribute magic.
''800+ yesterday alone is amazing.
 As items, magic power manipulation, magic power control, and holy attribute magic were outstanding and growing in the group.

 Proficiency, but the proficiency required to become level I was 1000, and after that, it doubled in size.
 Level I to 1000, Level II to 2000. 
 Level III -> 4000 Level IV -> 8000 
 Level V -> 16000 Level VI -> 32000
 Level VII -> 64000 Level VIII -> 128000
 Level IX to 256000, Level X to 512000.
 Regarding the proficiency increase, in the case of magic, by using the magic that you can activate, your proficiency will increase by up to 5, depending on your level.
 For example, in the case of Heal at level I, if you have a target to be healed and you perfectly activate Image, Magic Control, and Magic Control, your proficiency level will increase by 5.
 If you do the same thing at level II, it will be 4, 3 for level III, 2 for level IV, and 1 for level V and beyond.
 Luciel had been reading the magic books and paying attention to the magicians whose magic was activated by chanting and chanting shortening, while he was honing his skills every day.
 His proficiency in magic would increase once the magic was activated. After finding the indicator, Luciel was suddenly motivated and in great shape.

''If you continue to work hard, you'll be at level VIII in half a year. Aim for a canst at 20!
 I finished my morning workout and headed to the cafeteria.

''Good morning. I'd like a pile of food again today, please.
Good morning, Master Luciel.
'Please don't do that. Just call me Luciel. It's a pain in the ass if you call me by my nickname.
That's weird.
 I laughed at that and Oba-chan served us a large portion of food.

I'd like another bento today, please. The amount should be about the same as yesterday.
Huh, don't put too much thought into this.
'It's all right. I've been living my life (I've been looking at the running lights once a day). It's paradise compared to what I've been doing.
That's okay, though.

 Thus, as I was taking my meal, I heard a voice say, "Luciel," and when I turned around, it was Lucy-san.
''Ah, Lucy-san, good morning.''
Morning, dear. I hear you're being assigned to an exorcist.
'Yes. You're a quick learner.
'I heard it was pretty tough (combat), is it okay?'
I don't have a problem with it (with horror hallucinations).
'Yes. Lady Lumina was worried about you too, so if there's anything you can do to help, just tell me.
Thank you. Oh, then please tell me one place where I can buy parchment, pen and ink as soon as possible.
There's plenty of those in the supply room.
So tell me where it is.
'Okay. But we can have breakfast first, right?
Of course.
 Thus, while talking with Lucy-san, I told her about my life in the Adventurer's Guild and other things, and she finished her meal while being donned. After that, I was told about the equipment warehouse and headed to the Undead Labyrinth (temporary) with a large amount of parchment, ink and pens.

''Goooooooooh.''
Shut up. O holy and healing hand, O breath of Mother Earth, be my body and my hindrance, restore the impure beings to their proper path. Purification.
 I fill in the map on the parchment, checking the passages I had put in my head yesterday.
 It's a hallucination (I'm assuming it is). While defeating the zombies I know, I properly collect the magic stones (the stones that create the illusion) and walk around.
 It took me an hour per level, and I arrived at the fourth level in three hours.

''Well, what kind of demon will appear next~''
 At the earliest, in Luciel's mind, he was completely submerged in the labyrinth in the sense of a game.
 Therefore, "I can only imagine a short spear like the one used by the G-d*mn knight in his left hand and a two-fisted sword with a different one-handed sword gain, or a future where Instructor Brod would come slashing at me angrily if he saw it.

 Currently, I was exploring with a short, thick-handled lance that could be used as a shield in my left hand and a one-handed sword in my right hand.
''Well, if I get into some weird habits, Instructor Brod will fix me thoroughly, so let's play with it so I don't break the mold.

 I drew a map where I had good visibility and then proceeded to explore. The demon that came out on the fourth level was a zombie, but because of the fact that it was wandering around while dragging a sword, it was completely obvious that it was approaching us, and we didn't have to struggle with it.
 Thus, we wrote the map to the fifth level and ended the second day's exploration.

 I earned 5372p that day, which was more than yesterday, and Cattleya worried me, "You really shouldn't push it too hard," she said.
''It's a shallow floor, so there's no problem at all. Is earning more money still a problem (the budget at headquarters is in trouble)?
No, it's not. It's a blessing in disguise.
'If that's the case (so Mr. Cattleya is a contractor?) I'll do my best.
So, do you want to get something to eat today?
'No, save your points and leave it at that. My goal is a magic book, but if you start struggling, I'm sure you'll buy something.
'All right. Good luck with that.
Yes. Thank you.
 Thus ended the second day's exploration of the labyrinth.

 I met with Mr. Granhardt at dinner and he asked me how I was doing, and I told him I had no problems.
'I see. Well then. And as for your salary, it will be deposited into the Healers Guild account at the beginning of the month. You can check it at the reception desk downstairs if you need it.
 After saying that much, Mr. Granhardt left the dining room.
''I'm beginning to understand that man's character, waiting to tell me just that.
 Afterwards, I finished dinner alone as usual, drank Object X and trained my magic before going to bed.

 The next day, I started my search in the morning as well, but the traps were set up from the sixth level.
''...What is this accuracy?''
 At the sixth level, I stepped on the floor switch as hard as I could.

 Then an arrow flew from the wall, but it passed two meters in front of me and hit the opposite wall and disappeared.
'So that's it, these traps are about to appear. 'Tehjeh. Is that the kind of notice you're giving me?

 The demons are still the same, the zombie archer who approaches you with his bow and arrows, and the zombie knight who drags a caracara sword with him.
 A fireball that has a long chanting time and shoots a fireball that isn't going ten kilometers per hour.
''I don't think these things will kill you even if you're surrounded.
 I had no idea that this would be a flag, but I didn't realize at the time.

 The traps started appearing on the sixth level, so I wrote the area on the map to explore further.
 The number of demons has increased as I went down the hierarchy, and today's search ended at the sixth level only because I had to investigate carefully.

 I saved up my points again today, ate dinner and then drank Object X and did some basic training in magic.
''I feel like my body is getting better day by day. Could it be! Status open........I guess.
 The level was fixed at 1.
'Well, it's fine. I knew that. But your status is growing little by little. I'll continue with the spirit of daily progress.''
 Thus I slept unfaithfully after my workout.

 There were some events that happened. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
 There was only one trap per level, but I was a little too cautious, and the fact that there were so many demons was a factor in my delay in searching.

 The demons were skeletons equipped with swords and shields, skeleton knights and skeleton archers were born, and fireballs were turned into ghosts.
 And what I didn't expect was that the zombies would attack in groups under the command of the zombie leader. That surprised me.

''But even so, it's a matter of the purification magic being too strong. It's like cheat magic.
 That's right. With three cleansing magic casts, the 20 or so demons that were there had been turned into magic stones cleanly.

 This is how we ended our search without danger, but "that's definitely the boss room!
 I thought back to the back of the door on the tenth level, nervous that this was my first boss fight, but my goal was to clear it with no damage.

'Can someone give me a clue as to what's coming up! Oh, just in the right place, Jord-san.
 I caught Mr. Jord coming to the dining room for dinner and I asked him about the boss room.
'What's in that boss room?'
The boss's office? What are you talking about?
Oh, the place looks like it's full of powerful demons.
Oh, no. You mean the ones that attack in groups?
What? (The boss's room) Do they attack in groups?
Yeah. But still, have you gotten there yet? I got there just before I handed over the exorcist's duties to you.
Don't waste your time with flattery. Thank you for the information. Now we can plan our strategy.
Hmm. Well, I'm glad I could help.

 Thus, I made a mistake and decided to rush into the boss room on the tenth level.
