Recap : Kazuma teamed up with Chris (Eris) and Yun-Yun
Kazuma after welcoming Chris in thier party shifted to Yun-Yun's place since she already rented a place for 100k per month. Thier new home had four rooms and the placed was pretty fancy.
In morning, they all left for the guild as Kazuma had something in mind which he wanted to discuss with them after breakfast.
At the guild
They ordered food and Kazuma began to talk asking the other two girls who are sitting in front of him, " We are gonna take some quests, I would like to increase my level soon , I am only level 2 ", both of nodded in agreement.
After finishing, they looked up the quest board where he picked up a quest to deal with 20 goblins nearby in the forest. Since goblins were a perfect target newbies, they shouldn't have much problem ( I got a bad feeling )
After reaching the forest, Kazuma asked Chris to activate her enemy detect skill to spot the horde of goblins and after going just a little deeper she picked up a lot of enemies nearby. She warned both, Yun-yun and Kazuma.
I yelled, " You guys stay back and let me finish them just protect me if things get out of hand ". Yun-yun worriedly said, " Can you seriously do it? ". I replied trying to be cool, " I got to try atleast, I can't give up before trying ".
I started swinging my short sword, killing a bunch before getting into problem, I yelled, " Guys, I would appreciate some help ".
Yun-yun killed them with intermediate magic skill, Fireball while Chris stabbed a few with her dagged. After finishing he checked his level and he went up by three levels, making him level 6 .
They returned back to the guild to collect their reward of 200k Eris from Luna, dividing into each other equally .
The other girls went off saying they are going to rest back at the home. Kazuma made a poster when they were gone...
Looking for someone to teach me following
Freeze, Farsight, Snipe
Can negotiate about the cost when we meet
He posted the posted and was waiting at the guild when suddenly a person called out to him.
An unknown voice came, " I can teach you freeze for 4k Eris, interested? ".
" Sure, but what's your name? "
" Ah! sorry for introducing earlier, my name is Amie "
" Never mind so can you please teach me the skill now... "
After a quick lesson, he got freeze on his adventure card which he learned immediately leaving him with 6 skill points remaining. He paid the girl and she went away
A few person also appeared to teach with the other two skills ( Farsight and Snipe ), it costed 3k for Farsight and 5k for Snipe and learned three new skills in total, leaving him with 4 skill points remaining. He decided to meet up Chris at the home.
A quick guide about the new skills which he learned ,
Freeze : Can freeze stuff , the radius covered depends on mana put into the spell by the user
Farsight : Zoom-in, basically wearing Binoculars in real life
Snipe : Can hit the target wherever he wants with any ranged item even throwing a pebble counts but it is dependent on luck
After reaching home, he found Yun-yun and Chris fast asleep, he whispers into Chris's ear," Wake up, I wanna talk to you". Chris slowly opens her eyes to find Kazuma really close to her which makes her blush a little.
I said, "Good, you are awake finally "
" You woke up, now it better be something good or you getting punished "
" Chill down, I want to learn some skills from my Master "
Hearing this makes her blush again, this tricks always works and she replies
" Ohk, if you insists then I shall teach a newbie like you ", she said while trying to act cool
He went outside leaving Yun-yun alone, Kazuma asked her to teach him Lurk which she taught him and after that they went to the Guild to grab some drinks.
It was evening when, yun-yun came for dinner, they enjoyed their meal and returned back and slept.
It's early in the morning, I woke the other two girls and went to the guild for breakfast and while they were picking up the quest suddenly, Luna announced
Emergency Quest! Emergency Quest! All adventurers report at the guild!
She explained them that it was cabbage season, this seasons every harvested cabbage is worth 10k Eris. After filling everyone with the details they all went towards the main entrance.
I was a bit confused by why adventurers need to participate in harvesting cabbage when Chris filled him with the details about it. I seem to somewhat understood the situation.
Luna yells giving everyone instruction, " After killing the cabbage , drop them into the cage for collecting the reward ". Everyone shouted in excitement, " Let's do it ".
I asked Luna if he were to use freeze on them and then deposit the frozen cabbage will it still count? Luna told me that it would still count since freeze is just gonna turn it into ice and then it will turn into water, making it cleaner.
I suddenly jumped in front of everyone, taking a cool stance like a hero and yelled, " I have bought some manetites for this quest, I will freeze all the cabbages and you guys just have to collect it ". This was a big lie, I didn't have any, but I have a lot of mana because of the cheat. Everyone stared at me in confusion and silence and they replied to him, " If you could then go ahead we will watch ". I told yun-yun and Chris to collect as mant as possible
The wave came pretty close and then I yelled, " Freeze ".
All the cabbages started falling frozen, everyone were shocked and impressed, there was not a single straggler that managed to evade my attack. They all started collecting the cabbages and everyone went to the guild after it was done to collect their rewards.
Our party managed to get 1.6M Eris which they distributed among them, I got praised a lot for what I did during the quest. I even shot up from level 6 to 14 , seems like Cabbages were worth quite a lot. I now have 19 skill points, wondering what to do with them and while thinking I ordered some drinks for my party and a familiar face served us. She was none other than Megumin who was now working as a staff at the guild.
My entire team was shocked seeing her , well except Chris
I asked in confusion, " What is this? ". Yun-yun followed and asked, " What happened to you being adventure? ". Chris who happened to have no clue asked, " Do you guys know her? ". She said in a sad tone, " No party would take me in so I had to work here for money ".
I got into a discussion advising her to learn other magics but she turned out to be a stubborn loli so all of that failed, she even said that, she rather starve to death than learn any other magic. I let out a sigh and said, " Fine! Let's leave it here, there is no point in talking about it anymore but Megumin can I ask a small favor? "
" What is it? "
" All though , I can't take you in my party but I would love to learn the most powerful spell known to man kind, Explosion ", I said trying to make her happy so teaches me.
She caught the bait and said, " Fufu! Fine, I shall teach you the most powerful spell ".
After that they went to an open land where she started chanting and teaching himhim
Megumin started chanting, " Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark, I beseech thee, combine with my deep crimson. The time of awakening cometh. Justice, fallen upon the infallible boundary, appear now as an intangible distortions! I desire for my torrent of power a destructive force: a destructive force without equal !Return all creation to cinders,and come frome the abyss!Explosion!
Explosion appeared in his card so he learnt it quickly, it costed him 15 skill points leaving him with only 4 skill points remaining
" Umm... Does the chant necessary? "
" Yes, you will die if you cast it without that "
Kazuma got scared and backed off. Yun-yun saw my reaction and interrupted, " She is just messing with you, it is not necessary, we crimson demons do this thing just for showoff ". I seemed to understand and replied, " Oh, that made me scared for a second now I feel much better ".
I gave Megumin 10k Eris as her reward for teaching me. They just chilled around for a bit while Megumin left for work, I was roaming around with Yun-yun and Chris. In the evening, they got their meal at the guild and those two girls went home to rest while I decided to stay.
I went outside the city walls to test out his new skill Explosion, since it drains the most stamina, he wanted to see how many times he can cast before running out of mana
I used explosion five times in a snap so no one can figure that was more than one since he didn't want people about his secret ability. It was pretty impressive thought, after casting it five times, he trembled a bit but still able to walk so he returned home but left a huge crater near the town.
In the morning, he asked Chris, " Is their a skill to create Earth or soil? ", to fill up the huge hole he created last night. She said, " Yes, there is a skill called Create Element, which allows you to create Fire, Water, Wind, Earth ". I got happy and asked, " Do you know someone who can teach this to me? ".
" Umm... yes I do know a person "
They met that person and he learned the skill and gave him 5k Eris for the skill in return and now he has only 3 skill points remaining.
He went to the crater he formed last night by his Explosion and filled it with 'Create Earth' without anyone noticing, it was back to normal, like nothing ever happened here.
After that , he began to do some quests and go out level up and have some fun with his party. This went on for couple of months. I jumped from 14-19 during this session, leaving him with 13 points as he learned Enemy Detect from Chris, in between. Yun-yun was level 14 and Chris was level 11. They were doing decent but one day suddenly an announcement was made
Emergency Quest! Emergency Quest! All adventurers report to the main gate! A demon king general has appeared! I repeat a demon king general has appeared
It was a long time since he heard that so he went to the main gate to check out what was happening along with his party, Chris filled him the general information being the most reliable person for information
Upon reaching he noticed a Dulhan riding a horse
The Dulhan said, " I am demon king's general Beldia, I have been living in the castle nearby in peace but some maniac keeps using Explosion on it everyday, tell me who is it or you all will die... ", giving a threat.
The crowd got worried and suddenly a crazy loli spoke up
A familiar voice spoke up, " I am Megumin, a crimson demon. I am the most powerful mage who loves explosion ". He seemed to ignore it since he didn't want any battle here and said, " Whatever, I am leaving you since you are a kid, but don't do it again or I will kill and he suddenly started to go back ".
But suddenly an idiot which couldn't resist spoke, " No, I will die if I don't use it every day ". Beldia seemed to know about Crimson Demons and said, " Geez! Shut up and stop lying ".
" I am not lying ", trying to make up excuses
He seemed pissed and said, " You know what, I will kill you and that would make my life easier "
Then I was thinking about something for a while and suddenly shouted, " Hold on! ".
Beldia said in a voice which made me feel like he is praising me, " You got guts kid to challenge me "
" Master, make me your disciple and teach me some of your top class skills ", I said in a humble voice
" Fine, I accept your... Wait! Eh? What did you say? ", said in confusion as he wasn't expecting that
" Master, I know how strong are you but have some mercy and teach him "
" Fine, what do you wish to learn ? ", he also caught my bait. People are so easy to please these days.
" Master, can I look at your adventure card for a moment? "
Beldia handed over his adventurer card, everyone was silent as they were confused what the hell was I doing so now one said anything. I was looking at his card and suddenly something caught my interest.
" Master, can you teach me Shadow Blade? And what does it do? "
" Nice choice, that's one of my strongest move, upon using it your blade will become black and allowing you to pierce through any target "
" That sounds cool, can you teach me please? "
Beldia then showed the skill and it popped on his adventurer, he learnt without any further wastage of time, it costed him 5 skill points
" Master, since you are pretty strong can I cast my magic on you and you could give me some suggestions maybe, I am just an Adventurer class so I am pretty weak so it shouldn't heart a demon king general like you ", trying to convince him to die.
" Fine, go ahead ", and he even fell for it. I am good speaker.
He backed off and ask him to back off too and then he started chanting his magic silently and after he was finished
I yelled, " EXPLOSION!
" Why is it so s... ", he died while saying a cliche line
He vanished before he could finish, it had to be strong. I have put more than half of my mana so it's power was thrice any normal explosion. Every one was shocked seeing how I defeated him and seeing my explosion which made a deep whole server inches down. Since I killed Beldia, I jumped up two levels and I am now level 21 adventurer with 13 skill points remaining.
