I lead the 25 members of Group A into [Le Monde Forest].

...... lights.

　As soon as they were ordered to do so, the three swordsmen lit a bonfire.


　Bow!


　The demonic forest is as dark as day and night.


　Ugh, ugh. ......


　The cheeks of the lords, illuminated by the flames, were tight with fear.

　It is possible to feel that something is lurking behind the darkness .......


　I'm sure there's something lurking in there for the time being.

　A monster.


　But these are monsters that can be defeated.

　It's important that these guys understand that.


Nao. Use search.


　So I commanded the girl, a supportive mage, to do so.


　The search is a "search magic" in the dark.

　It's the reason why the search light extends towards the monsters lurking in the dark.


You have to be careful!

　As Nao chanted this, a magical light stretched out in the shape of a stick.

　And that stick of light stopped when it illuminated a terrifying green blob of light that was walking sluggishly behind the trees.

　A monster.


''Hi, hi ......!''

　Someone made a frightened sound.


'Don't sound like that! Fear is contagious!

　I scold quickly.


　Shhhhh ......


　The scene quieted down, but the air dropped, and I laughed to show them that I was huffing and puffing ......

Look. It's called a green oak. There are four of them. Don't worry, you can beat them if you follow the proper practices.

　I said.


　Then he said, "Yo! I'm going to do it," said the old man, who was making daikon radish in the valley village, as he tried to use his attack magic sparingly.

Wait. It's still a long way away. That's not Kira's range. We'll have to use the bow to reduce its energy first.

　I command that.


　Hyun Hyun, Hyun Hyun Hyun: ......



　There are four archers.

　However, they were the last archers to be called up, and they were the ones with a combat strength that may or may not reach a thousand.

　They are not yet capable of hitting arrows through the trees.

　Hyun, Hyun...... Hyun......

　Still, I hit a few of them, and a few of them stung the bodies of the green orcs coming towards us.


　Gauu...... Guru!


　Green Orcs that were coming closer and closer.

　Eventually, instead of the light from the search, a bonfire, not the light from the search, directly illuminates their uncanny yellow-green color, reaching a distance that makes their saliva dripping fangs gleam.


''Alright! Now!


　As I commanded that, the ten offensive wizards chanted 【Kira】 and 【Kirado】 in unison.


　Bo! Bobo! Bo! Bobo! Bo! Bo! ......


　The villagers shot a barrage of elementary Kira magic.

　It turned into a wall of flaming fire magic and attacked the four green orcs.


　Ooh! Guo Oo......


　This worked quite well, with one of them down and three more taking damage.


　If this is the case, it is time for the seven vanguard swordsmen to take their turn.


　They left their packs and bonfires to the archers, took their swords, held their spears and leapt at the three remaining monsters.


　Keen!　Dos: ......!


　The sound of the monsters breaking through their hard skin.


　The four Green Orcs turned into balls of light and disappeared into the depths of the Demon Forest. ......


''Oh!''

I got it!

We can beat them!

　The victorious lords rejoiced as they raised their hands.


Yeah. Yeah, that's some good work!

　In fact, it's hard to believe that these villagers, who not long ago wielded a hoe and drew a net, were fighting.


　Shurshuru Shurshuru...... glittering☆


　And where the Green Orcs disappeared, an item was dropped.

　The drop items were.

[Silver arrows x 10]

　It is.


'Hmm, that's a good start.

　Saying that, I picked up the silver arrow x 10.



　After all, Le Monde Forest has a good item drop rate.


　The reason why monsters drop items is because they sometimes eat 'artifacts', but what kind of artifacts they eat depends on the magical environment the monster lives in.

　For example, this Le Monde Forest has a demonic quality that makes the monsters want to eat 'metal items'.


　That's why the monsters sometimes want to eat "wooden objects" or "restorative medicine" depending on the demonic nature of the place they live.

　However, most monsters do not want to eat artifacts, and not all monsters have a tendency to want to eat artifacts.

　This is why not all monsters in the world drop items.


　Then, this A group had three battles.


　Their opponents were.

Two [Red Goblins]

One [Shadow of the Forest]

Six [Bad Bees]

　It is


　Some of us struggled with the last six Bad Bees, and some of us ran out of magic, so that's it for Group A.

　We used our breakaway magic to return to the outside of the forest.


　The items I got were a silver arrow x 10, a gold bracelet, and a titanium fitting x 5.



　◇



　Next is Group B.

　As with Group A, this half of the squad is made up of seven vanguards, ten attacking wizards, two supporters, two recoverers and four archers.

　However, just because the distribution is the same does not mean that the fighting style should be the same.


　For example, in Group A, Nao, a supportive mage, was able to use the search magic "Search".

　Nao was one of the "first 25 selected," and since she had been trained with the help of her training skills [possession], she was already an "ace in the support system" with a combat power of 2156.

　That's why Group A was able to detect the enemy early and set off waves of attacks at every distance - bow, attack magic and blows .......


　However, the two supporters of Group B were unable to use the "search".

　That kind of individual difference is unavoidable, so instead, Group B has Isomura's widow Eriko-san, the 'ace of the vanguard swordsmen', assigned to it.

　At first, Eriko-san looked 'heavy on the hips and a little glum' at first, but when I taught her the spear with [possession], this was a perfect fit.

　Now, she handles the spear like a clothesline, spinning it around like a clothesline.

　Her brave figure doesn't look like a woman of 34 years old.

　Her fighting strength was also currently second to Chiyo's, at 2,560.


　Therefore, the battle method of Group B would be for seven vanguards led by Eriko-san to confront the enemies who approached the bonfire 《Kagaribi》, with bows, magic, support magic, and recovery magic to support them from behind.

　They fought three battles with [6 Butter Wolves], [3 Green Orcs], and [2 Rough Rocks], but I instructed them to turn back when they ran out of recovery medicine and recovery system magic.

　The items we acquired were the [Copper Lamp] and the [Iron Nail [Nail] x 50].



　Now.

　They had now played seven rounds in Group A and Group B.

　Did any of them improve their level?

　So I saw a fisherman boy, a vanguard swordsman in Group E.

　He had the lowest combat strength of the 150, I believe it was 781: ......

　It's now up to 817.

Good!

　I gutted, because this confirmed that my cultivation skill [Blessing Play]'s 'sphere of influence' was growing.

　In other words, it was confirmed that the double experience gained from the battle in the forest had extended to him in Group E who was waiting outside.

　Lately, the reason I've been training my own training skills in the grimoire "Theory and Practice of Training" or something like that was also for the purpose of expanding this area of influence.



　When you are in the ...... brave party, it was rare for the six members of the party to act separately even in the quest area, so there was no need to expand the 'sphere of influence' to that extent.

　Therefore, I didn't have any particular training in that regard, but now it was different.

　Now, however, it is different. When you have 150 people working together, expanding your sphere of influence is a very meaningful thing.

　The experience gained in every battle is not doubled, but the experience gained in every battle is shared by all 150 people.

　We're not very talented, so sharing our experience is a prerequisite for all of us.


Okay, let's go to group C this time!


　Once I was sure of my own growth, I led Group C into the forest.
