"It would be a pity to kill such a beautiful snake but… I have to do what I need to do."
Takeshi suddenly strengthened the grip of his Fishing Rod, as the hook suddenly pierced the snake's scales and flesh, reaching its heart and crushing it from the inside!
SPLAT!
The sound of the snake's heart exploding inside of its body could be heard around the entire arena, as the snake suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood before rolling its eyes and dying on the spot.
BAAAM!
Its enormous body fell over the floor with a loud thud, signaling the victory of Takeshi.
Laura ran towards Takeshi to congratulate her little brother.
"Takeshi! Amazingly done!" Laura hugged Takeshi.
"I-I took a bit more of ti than I thought, but I did it all by myself! [Fisher] is really amazing." He said happily.
"You could had also used your Water Magic or Dark Magic… You took it easy." Said Laura.
"Hahaha… Yeah, but I don't feel so confident on using those as their Skill Levels aren't so high." Sighed Takeshi.
"You're overly cautious as ever." Sighed Laura.
Flabbergasted after seeing my two beloved children fight amazingly well even against powerful threats such as D Rank monsters, Rock had no choice but to give up.
"So? So~?" I asked teasingly.
"F-Fine… you can have them… And the monsters… too…" He sighed.
"Yaay! New Materials!" I said happily.
Honestly the only things I was mostly interested in were the snake's scales, its venom, and the crab's carapace and the mithril growing over there. Those were all precious materials that could be used for a variety of purposes, mostly crafting new equipnt. I wanted to use them to reward the children for what they had done as well.
"Mithril is an incredible ore that can conduct magic." Said Eraldine. "It is ideal for magic accessories and magic items."
"Alright, let's go collect them!"
I flew down and quickly put both monster carcasses inside my Inventory, which Rock and the other dwarves working with him reacted with even more shocked faces.
"T-The materials disappeared in an instant?!"
"What sort of sorcery is this?"
"S-Space magic?!"
Aquamarine heard them talk as she quickly patted Rock's shoulders.
"Keep it a secret, will you? As long as you want to keep your position." She said nacingly.
"A-Ah… Y-Yeah…" He sighed.
It seems we had a rather strong and influential ally with us from day 1. After the entire battles ended, the dwarf reluctantly gave Takeshi and Laura their passes, and the job was more than done now.
"Y-You two are incredibly strong. If you ever want to join the school for real, feel free to contact so I can enroll you two into a class for the most talented." He said.
"Huh, we'll think about it." Laura said.
"Yeah, maybe…" Takeshi said.
As we were done with this, we had no ti to waste.
We moved back to Helga's ho, as we saw off Aquamarine who decided to go to her guild's building to deal with a bunch of job she had pilled up. As old as she was, she was still doing a lot of paperwork, which was impressive.
"Hey, you're back! Is it done already?" Helga wondered, as my two twins quickly showed her their passes.
"Yeah!" Takeshi celebrated.
"It was easy." Laura said.
"Huh! You two are quite sothing if you were able to pass that old man's Rock tests. I rember my years back in the academy and that bastard was always giving the most cruelest of test to kids…" Sighed Helga. "Well, that's the place where I et my husband too, hahah… A-Ah! Anyways, let's get going." Helga seed to smile a bit as she recalled her past in the school.
The dwarves and Helga seed to have prepared as well for dungeon diving, as they wanted to join the fray and see if they can level up through defeating monsters. You're never strong enough in a world infested by monsters after all. They ca even more prepared than before, forbidding their pickaxes and bringing their heavy weapons. Most of the dwarves ca with full body armor, large shields, and either an axe, a long sword, or a hamr. Helga was proficient at using a giant hamr, and she didn't shy away from carrying it leisurely as if it didn't weighted at all.
"Hm, how are Hamrs as weapons?" I wondered, as we flew towards the mountain.
"Pretty good! Almost anything you hit with them dies instantly as long as you aim at the head. If not, you can easily break a monster's limbs and incapacitate them. It is a bit hard to maneuver around as it has a very heavy weight, so it loses its balance very quickly." Said Helga. "But with enough muscle, you can just smack anything."
"Ooohh… I am using swords, axes, and a spear. And I'm planning on probably getting a hamr at so point…" I said while rubbing my chin.
"Why so many weapons?!" She asked in shock.
"Well I am a ghost." I whispered to her. "So I can just make more limbs if I want to, I fight with my fists too! It is super fun to collect new skills of any weapon!"
"Y-You're really into collecting Skills… I've never seen soone so obsessed about it as if it were fun." She sighed.
"It is not?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I-I an, they're useful but… doesn't it feels like work to you?" She wondered.
"What? Work? But its super fun!" I sighed.
I wonder why she doesn't get …
Ah, maybe it must be because skills and the status are like part of their own world, not sothing new like it is for . Eventually even sothing as amazing as a status becos sothing of commonplace for them, so it is nothing amusing.
Perhaps my fascination with it cos from my fanatism over RPG gas I used to play in my previous life, and all the Isekai stories I liked to read involving Status Systems, Skills, Job Classes, and blood-pumping action, I guess.
"Oh, we are getting closer!"
Anyways, it's ti for so dungeon diving!
