Chapter 112. Academy Dungeon Conquest Team
“Soone, support here!”
Soone shouted urgently.
However, there was no one to give support.
“It’s hard here too!”
“Hold on by yourself!”
It was because they were barely managing to handle the monsters assigned to each of them.
- Kiiik!
Large and small monsters constantly poured out in the Dungeon.
The Helsington Magic School first years felt that the Dungeon conquest was formidable, but because they had prepared items, it wasn’t to the point of giving up.
The Helsington Dungeon conquest team, having finished off the remaining monsters, caught their breath for a mont.
“Phew, as expected, it is hard with three people.”
Although they were strong in actual combat enough to be selected as the representative team, conquering a Dungeon with only inexperienced first years was not easy.
“It would have been nice if there was just one more experienced team mber.”
“That is what I an.”
Feeling regretful, they drank the potions they had prepared.
They felt their depleted magic power returning.
In principle, the number of potions one could carry when conquering a Dungeon in the friendly competition was limited.
However, the Helsington representative team secretly packed more potions.
They also brought in magic scrolls to use when eting strong monsters, hiding them with the support of the professors.
“Those Academy guys, it seed they really only packed ten potions.”
“They have an apprentice holy knight among their team mbers.”
“That is just one person; how can they endure without magic power potions? They must be dying by now.”
No matter if there was an apprentice holy knight who could use Heal, he could not recover magic power.
Furthermore, who could care for whom once the battle started?
It was obvious that the Academy guys would suffer more.
To the Helsington students who were forced into terribly dreadful classes and lost absurdly in the debate, the Academy students were opponents they definitely wanted revenge on.
“We will win this ti.”
The Helsington Dungeon conquest team had a premonition of their victory.
* * *
Bang!
“Take this!”
Inette, who had taken off her gloves and thrown them aside, launched a fireball with her bare hands.
Then, the screams of the monsters stuck to the wall rang out.
- Kieek!
- Kiik!
So monsters that dodged the fireballs quickly counterattacked.
Clang!
Gusto ran and dealt with those guys.
Radel also drew his sword and was organizing the guys popping out from the side.
It was a peculiar combination for a Dungeon conquest team of Magic Academy first years.
Surely, the purpose of this friendly competition was to compete with the skills of students learning magic.
In other words, conquering the Dungeon using magic was the basic standard.
However, in the conquest team Radel put together, there was not a single person catching monsters using magic.
Inette, the Princess, was launching flas with her Ability, not magic power, and Gusto and Radel were dealing with monsters with swords.
Magic was used only when using light elent magic to brighten the dark Dungeon.
“Are we not using magic too much?”
When Radel muttered, Inette spoke as if it were absurd.
“What are you talking about? We have few potions, so it is good to save magic power. Using magic for no reason will only take more ti.”
“That is true.”
It wasn’t a remark befitting an Academy student, but it was the correct statent.
They were currently conquering at a quite decent speed.
However, they could not let their guard down yet.
- Kiiik!
A goblin hiding in the corner jumped out and swung a stone axe at Radel.
Then Inette imdiately reached out her hand.
Whoosh!
“How dare you!”
Inette burned the goblin that was rushing at Radel and looked back at Radel triumphantly.
“How is it, as expected, you need , right?”
Inwardly, Inette was in a good mood at the fact that Radel had chosen her for the Dungeon conquest team.
In return, she thought she had to show a cooler appearance than usual.
Radel nodded and said.
“Of course, Inette. Choosing you as the Dungeon conquest team was an excellent choice.”
Of course, Radel had strategically chosen Inette, who could attack with an Ability without using magic power.
Since the potions they could use were limited, it was a natural judgnt.
However, Radel’s words were enough to make Inette shrug her shoulders.
Inette raised her head and boasted.
“Although you have so strange corners, you do have an eye for people, you know?”
Seeing that appearance, Gusto shook his head side to side.
Inette flared up at Gusto’s reaction.
“Why are you shaking your head and making a fuss there!”
“I was rely loosening my neck because it was stiff, but is there any problem……?”
Inette glared at Gusto, who was rotating his shoulders and loosening his tight muscles this ti.
That apprentice holy knight’s shaless behavior was hateful beyond asure.
Radel smiled looking at the two.
Being like this reminded him of when they departed from the capital to the Academy.
‘We have gotten used to the Academy a lot in the anti.’
Compared to the beginning when even the entrance exam was a difficulty, it had truly changed a lot.
Gusto’s thinking had beco more flexible than when they t at the temple, and Inette, who said she didn’t want to go to the Academy, adapted better than expected.
Of course, it seed Inette was tired because of her followers.
“Eit! Stop coming out!”
Was it because of the stress accumulated usually?
Inette was blasting flas tirelessly at the monsters that kept appearing.
Thanks to that, the speed increased, but there was no way this state would be maintained until the end.
No matter if she was a royal, if she kept using her Ability, her concentration would drop.
Radel opened his mouth to Inette to control the pace.
“Inette, since it is still the early stage, you should save so strength…….”
“Mommy!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Inette’s scream was heard.
* * *
Radel lit a campfire in a corner of the Dungeon.
When firewood, a tripod, and a kettle ca out of his backpack, Inette’s eyes went round.
“You carry firewood too?”
“I prepared it because I thought sothing like this would happen.”
Inette, who sprained her ankle while being careless during battle, mumbled with her mouth as if she felt guilty alone.
“You don’t need to rest because of .”
“I intended to rest around this point anyway.”
Radel lit the fire nonchalantly and boiled water.
It was partly because of Inette’s injury, but it was also true that he intended to catch his breath in the middle.
There was plenty of room in terms of ti as well.
While Radel boiled the water, Gusto approached Inette.
“I will use Heal for you.”
“……You are laughing at inside right now, aren’t you?”
“? Your heart is poor. Such twisted thoughts are not good.”
“This is really……! Phew.”
Inette tried to get annoyed at Gusto but sighed and received the treatnt quietly.
Since she beca the Dungeon conquest team representing the Academy, she wanted to do better than usual.
Being like this, she felt embarrassed for no reason.
Radel held out a cup containing warm coffee to Inette and said.
“It is not sothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone gets hurt.”
“I-I am not that embarrassed, you know?”
Inette was flustered at being hit on the mark but soon muttered in a small voice.
“……Just because. You trusted , but I feel like I didn’t do as much.”
At Inette’s words, Radel and Gusto looked at each other.
“That is unexpected, Prince.”
“Indeed. I didn’t know she could think to this extent.”
These bastards!
Inette stopped drinking her coffee and choked up with anger.
“I can hear everything!”
“Oh, you heard?”
Looking at that attitude of Radel, she couldn’t help but get pissed off.
That attitude that strangely had composure!
As Inette thought about it, she got even more heated.
“Do you know that you are really annoying sotis?”
“?”
“Yes! Always plotting sothing by yourself. You asked Tunia for a favor without anyone knowing this ti, right? Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
I didn’t expect this.
When Radel made a slightly surprised expression, Inette pointed at Gusto with her finger.
“I bet the apprentice holy knight noticed just like ! Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
Gusto also nodded.
It seed the two people noticed sothing when they saw Radel talking with Tunia.
“Honestly, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t say it but…… I wonder if we are still not at that level to you.”
Radel lost his words for a mont and looked at the two.
Gusto, seeing such a reaction from Radel, spoke with a calm face.
“That is the Princess’s thought. I trust the Prince. There must be a reason for everything.”
“Hey! If you say that, what do I beco?!”
Inette jumped up at Gusto’s words.
It was just before the two would argue like usual.
Radel quietly opened his mouth to Inette and Gusto.
“……Thank you both. I didn’t know you thought of to that extent.”
Gusto’s reaction was familiar, but Inette was truly unexpected.
He intended to tell them anyway when the ti ca.
And it was true that it was hard to move without the help of these two.
“I didn’t say anything because nothing was certain yet, but I will organize it and tell you sooner or later.”
This ti it was Inette’s turn to be flustered.
She thought he would just gloss over it, but the answer Radel gave was better than expected.
“Huh? Y-yeah. Anyway, if that’s the case, it’s fine.”
At that mont, a notification sound rang in Radel’s ear.
Ding.
[The target’s Affinity breaks through 10.]
[The target’s Affinity has beco 20.]
It was the sound of Inette’s affinity rising.
It was clear that she liked the attitude Radel showed.
Inette cleared her throat as if nothing happened and rose from her seat.
“Ahem, let’s depart now. Aren’t we too late because of this? What do we do if we fall behind the Helsington kids?”
“That won’t happen.”
At Inette’s words, Radel shook his head firmly and took sothing out of his bosom.
It was a palm-sized bag.
“What is that? Did you prepare it separately?”
Did Radel prepare potions or other items necessary for the Dungeon conquest?
Even if it was the friendly competition rules, she did think setting even the number of potions one could carry was too much.
Inette’s eyes shone with anticipation for the item.
It was the mont Radel opened the bag.
Poof!
“Cough, what do I do if you only let out now!”
Surprisingly, what popped out of the bag was a person.
And it was a face Inette and Gusto knew.
The person who was inside the bag was none other than Armandy.
Radel exchanged words with Armandy nonchalantly.
“I let you out now anyway. How is your condition?”
“Do I look okay in your eyes, Prince……?”
His face had beco haggard for anyone to see.
Armandy swept his face with his palm.
Because he was trapped in that damn bag for an hour, he was on the verge of getting claustrophobia.
“Wait, why is he coming out of the bag?”
Inette couldn’t hold back and asked Radel.
There wasn’t just one or two doubtful things, but it was such an absurd situation she didn’t know what to ask first.
Radel answered as if it were nothing.
“Because I put him in the bag?”
“No, not that……. Did you prepare a person instead of an item right now?”
Does this make sense?
As Inette continued to be confused, Radel added.
“Inette, the most necessary thing in a Dungeon isn’t items.”
“Then what is it?”
“It is precisely a teammate who is good at magic.”
At his shaless words, Inette lost her words.
Armandy, who was listening from the side, felt the sa…….
