However, the two remaining goblins slipped past the two male students who leapt forward and swung their knives at the two female students who unleashed their magic.

''Cah!''

''Makino!　Fujii!

　The two female students who were attacked by the knife screamed, and the male student behind them shouted the names of the two male students who played the role of the tank - the one who attracted the two goblins - and shouted the names of the two male students.

''I'm sorry...''
I'm sorry...

　When their names are shouted, the two students respond in shaky voices.

　This can't be helped.

　The students had always fought in a situation where they had the upper hand. Of all the subordinates they've encumbered so far, the most numerous were four rats. The students were basically continuing their strategy of battering them as a group by making their numbers count.

　And suddenly, you have to take on one of them. And the opponent is even armed with a weapon for the first time.

　I was able to observe them calmly because I was looking at them like a real-life situation, but their legs were trembling as they were assigned to play the role of tanks, and they were cowering the moment they confronted the goblins.

　And goblins had a habit of attacking from the weak - those who seemed to be weak or low in strength.

　While I was calmly analyzing the situation, the battlefield had moved significantly.

　The goblins that had received the first magic had already disappeared, and one of the female students who had been releasing magic was dying. The students were in a state of panic and the war was in turmoil.

　In the end, two students lost their lives due to the goblin's deadly blade.

''Suzuki.......... Tanaka..........
'This world is not right!　It's wrong!

　Instead of soaking up the victory in front of the treasure chest, the nine students break down in tears.

''For now ... let's open the treasure chest.
Well yes.

　The students release the treasure chest.

''A ... sword?''
Give me that. ...the black iron sword?　--!　Rank D!
　The student with glasses appraises the sword that was stored in the treasure chest.

''Is it great?''
''It's not amazing........ The iron sword that's being talked about on the internet is a rank E.''
What do you mean?
It's the most powerful weapon I've ever known!

　A student is overjoyed by an unexpected treasure.

　The most powerful weapon........ Was an iron sword enough to get enough publicity?

　I regretted a little bit for the bait that seemed to be too much.


　　◆


　Afterwards, the students were torn between whether they should move on or go back.

　Go back......... And advertise the low level of difficulty and treasure of my dominion area.

　I prayed earnestly.

　It would be useless if I proceeded poorly and was wiped out.

　I said, 'Go home!　Go home! I remind him.

'We've got a weapon. Let's go a little further.

　My prayers were not answered and the students chose to move on.

'Will it be okay?'
I don't think they'll be able to find an irregularity like that again.
When the goblins are out, we'll fall back.
Withdrawal...
Is Mr. Exit unhappy?
''I'm not complaining, I actually got a level up earlier. Plus, you have this sword now, right?　I thought maybe we could beat the goblins now...

　Deguchi-kun - the male student who was swinging the bat earlier - seems to have gained ownership of the black iron sword.

''If it's a level, I'm now a 2, but...''

　Afterwards, listening to the students' conversations, they had all grown to level 2.

''Well, let's leave if we feel in danger. Is that okay with you too, Exit?
Yeah okay.

　In the end, the students went to the back.

　After that, subordinates of higher rank than the slime, such as Wolf and Bat, blocked the students' path, but they were not able to stop them.

　There were two reasons why they couldn't stop them.

　One was that the Black Iron Sword was stronger than expected. How could its attack power increase to that level?　and my men were defeated to the point of lamenting, "How can it increase its attack power to that level?

　Secondly, my passivity. If I set up 20 Wolves in one fell swoop, I might be able to reduce their numbers but it would be meaningless if I wiped them out.

　For now, shall we ask that Black Iron Sword - Deguchi-kun to leave?

　I sent instructions to the goblins.

　The students continue their march. They had invaded nearly half of my control area.

　The halfway point of my domain. Countless rocks set up in the open space.

　Behind the rocks, twenty goblins were waiting for me: nineteen goblins equipped with wooden bows and one foul goblin.

　The students, who continued their rapid march and were intoxicated by their own power, stepped into the middle of the road, when.

　Countless bats emit supersonic waves from the ceiling, stimulating the students' brains.

　Then, countless wooden bows and arrows poured down from behind the rocks.

　Amidst the wide range of wooden arrows, a single arrow with a clear killing intent - a Lunatic Arrow fired by a foul goblin - pierced the chest of one male student - Deguchi-kun.

　Lunatic Arrow. The only A-ranked item I was able to refine. Wooden bows and arrows, iron bows and arrows boast an overwhelming cost performance of 1 CP and 10 CP for a set of 100, but Lunatic Arrow was an arrow that consumed 100 CP for just one.

''Cyaaaa!''
""Oh, wow!"

"...what?　.... wait... what--

　The screams of the students echoing through the hall, and Deguchi-kun's gaze falls on the faintly shining arrow that pierced his chest.

''Ni, run!
""Waaaaaaaaaaaah!"

　The students scream and turn back the way they came.

Wait, wait!　Deguchi-kun?

　A female student gets upset when she notices a fallen male student.

Sayama.........you have to escape too........
''Noah!''

　Handing a sword to the crying female student.......Deguchi-kun extends his hands in front of the female student.

''Go!　Go, yeah, yeah, yeah!

　Deguchi shouted as he pushed the still crying female student down to the road behind him.

　The female student holds a sword and runs off the way she came, crying.

　In this way, the 12 students who had invaded were reduced to 9, and they retreated from my area of control.


　　◆


　Six hours later.

　After that, we were invaded three times.

　However, the three groups that invaded only took down a few slimes and rats near the entrance and retreated.

　And I was searching the sea of the internet to see if the operation -- the promotion of the controlled territory -- was working.

　--!

　I found it!　That's what I'm talking about!

　One of the student group had used social networking sites to brag about obtaining a rank D weapon. Furthermore, he had bragged that his level had increased to 2.

　At first, it was treated as a story, 'Lies found W,' but the other intruders - probably those who had retreated after defeating their men near the entrance and retreated with satisfaction - also defended my dungeon, saying that they were able to defeat the monsters safely. Furthermore, a news program applied for an interview and reported on a female student holding a black iron sword with a photo, and the information spread quickly.

　From that moment on, my smartphone kept setting off the 'intrusion alarm'.
