68 Episode 67 Promotion Exam 4




 
I'm sorry...

 It was Chiyu who had been discreetly lowering her head.
 She was greatly confused by the battle just now.
 When she glanced at Racine, she was scratching her cheek apologetically.

''I'm sorry, guys. Chiyu is very shy and I guess I was just nervous. But she's a good healer.

 When Racine said that clearly, Chiyu bowed her head in an even more apologetic manner.

''Well, at first...''
Yeah, right. You didn't have to participate in the battle earlier, as long as you were alerted to your surroundings, that's all that mattered.

 Nevertheless.
 It wouldn't be good for her to keep this up.

Do you think she'll be okay next time?

 At my question, Chiyu-san squeezed her lips together.

''But I'll do my best!''
Yes, please. Shall we fight the goblins again? This time, try to move as close to each other as possible, right? What do you think, Mr. Warrior?

 Mr. Warrior nodded at my question.

''Yeah, that's fine. Let's move to match Chiyu's first strike next.''
But I'll do my best!

 If Chiyu-san can't move at all, then we have a big problem.
 ........even if the request could not be accomplished because of Mr. Chiyu, he would still be jointly and severally responsible.
 That's what a party is all about.

 I activate my visual enhancement and search for the goblins.
 The goblins are quickly found.

 We move that way and find the goblin.

"Okay then, Chiyu. Don't forget.

 When Warrior-san said that, Chiyu-san grabbed her wand.
 At the same time, I could see that the magic power had gathered.
 When Chiyu-san's magic power had sufficiently filled the surroundings, the goblins seemed to notice us.

''Gaaaa!''

 The goblins howled at the same time. There are six of them.
 Spooked by their voices, Chiyu-san's shoulders jumped.
 The fear drained from Chiyu-san's face as Racine placed his hand on her shoulder.

''Huh, Fireball!''

 At the same time you shout, a fireball heads straight for the goblin.
 It catches the face of the goblin in front of it that was heading this way.
 The goblins roll on the ground in a lazy manner.

 They rolled the goblins around, and some of them stopped in their tracks, but even so, the goblins soon began to move.
 This one, too, is ready to go.

''Let's go!''
Yeah!

 A belligerent Mr. Warrior and Mr. Racine rushed in.
 After a few steps behind them, Sheikh-san followed.

 I'll join the attack while I keep an eye on them.
 Six goblins jumped at us at the same time.
 Waria-san stands in front of them and catches their attacks.

 I stopped two of them, but the goblins jumped at me from further back.
 This puts Mr. Warrior in danger.
 With that, Racine-san swung his spear out.

 One of the goblins dodged it and slashed at Racine-san.
 It dodges Racine-san's spear with a small movement and immediately slashes at him.
 ........The goblins this time are pretty good at coordinating.

 I threw a knife to the goblins that were about to join the attack from a little distance away.
 The staggered goblins stare at me.
 It's only an attack to interrupt the enemy's coordination.

'Hey, hey Racine! Get out of my way!
That's my line! Hey!

 They were fighting in the vanguard when they collided with each other.
 The goblins must have guided them well. The goblins, seeing the gap, let out a joyful cry.

 I throw a knife at one of them that jumped on them.
 As expected of a knife thrown all the time, it's almost out of 100 shots.

''Let Warrior-san take care of that spot, Racine-san, step back once!

 I'm not the kind of person who can give orders.
 But I can see my surroundings better than the vanguard, Mr. Warrior, can.
 I'm still using my visual enhancements and assessing the situation.

Okay, I'm on it!
''Mr. Warrior, just ramp up on the spot and get the goblins' attention. Where there's an opening, let's all attack together!

 As you might expect, skilled coordination is impossible.
 But after giving the opponent an opening, a certain amount of coordination should be easy to achieve.

 It seems to have understood my intentions, and Warlia-san spun around with her axe on the spot.
 The goblins fled in a panic, but were unable to evacuate in time, and one of their bodies was cut off.
 When Warrior-san stopped spinning, the goblins tried to set up - but then Racine and Sifu slashed at them.
 From behind the two bodies, which were full of gaps, I gave them a stab in the neck.

 There were three bodies left.
 The goblins shifted their gaze from Warrior to Racine and Sheikh as well.
 Perhaps realizing their disadvantage in numbers, they turned their backs to try to escape.

''Chiyu-san, please give me some skills so I can take them off to the point of escape.
Okay, okay, okay, okay!

 They would already have their new skills ready to go.
 Chiyu-san's skill flew and fell on the spot where the goblins had fled, just as he had aimed.
 It engulfed one of them and burned it to death.

 The remaining two bodies howled to show their anger, then slashed at me.
 But there are only two bodies left.
 Warrior and Racine, who are the most skilled at melee combat among these, will be the ones to deal with.

 Sheikh and I will only move within sight of the goblins.
 By doing so, the goblins will need to pay attention to us as well. If it pops into their brains for even a moment, it will be an opening.

 Mr. Warrior and Mr. Racine are not naive enough to miss it.
 The battle would end when Mr. Warrior cut both sides and Mr. Racine pierced his heart.
 The corpse is burned by Chiyu-san to dispose of it.

 That's right, there are times when you don't have the skills to burn them, though.
 Racin-san and Warrior-san glance at me.

''Well Lelius was pretty accurate with his instructions, do you have experience?
'It's true your first move was obviously not good, but you were able to fight smoothly after Relius gave you the go-ahead.

 I chuckle at their praise.

'This is the first time I've given you instructions. It's just that thanks to the detection on the divine weapon, it seems to have a somewhat wider field of vision than people.
'I see. That's why you were able to give such perfect instructions.

 Shiif-san nodded in agreement.
 Chiyu-san, who was approaching us, also seemed somewhat happy.

''Wow, me too........! They told me I could take it off, so I took it easy!

 It's really just a coincidence about that.
 

''Besides, that knife was perfect.
Mr. Warrior, you did a perfect job of attracting the demons in the vanguard.
Oh, yeah?

 Mr. Warrior scratches his head, looking happy.
 He glances at Mr. Racine and Mr. Sheif.

''You two were also able to get into the gap that Warrior-san created. That made things a lot easier afterwards.
'Really? But the instructions were spot on, too. I'm grateful that you were able to give me directions so smoothly right there.

 When Sheikh said that, Racine nodded.

''Right. Would it be okay if I asked Lelius to fight at mid-range during the battle and give me instructions?''
'Oh! I don't give a shit!
Me too.
Okay, yes. Le, I'd like to ask Mr. Relius for help!

 

''Okay I'll do my best.

 Well, I didn't feel bad about being asked to do it.
 After that, we fought the goblins a few times, me practicing my instructions and the others practicing their coordination before we went into the forest.
