Huge Holy 27

27 - Anyway, attack! Attacking solves everything!!

RAW

In the E-rank dungeon, I give simple explanations to the two beginners on every important point. It's not like they’re the kind of people from another world who can nonchalantly learn everything at once, so I've only taught them the basics of the basics.

Furthermore, this also served as a field study for the magic circle that Randy had requested.
What was incorporated into the Mithril knife is [Cloud].
Magic that produces clouds and generates weather.

However, this magic is quite profound.
This time, we incorporated a technique formula that instructs [Cloud] to gather water magic essence within a fixed range.
In addition, we also prepared knives that have a technique formula that gathers fire magic essence within a fixed range.

Randy throws the knives with a technique formula that gathers fire magic essence within the range of the plant monsters. They stab into the ground or ceiling. He then throws knives with a technique formula that gathers the magic essence of water outside that range.

Then, he activates the magic.

Because the magical element of water has become insufficient, the plant-type monsters seem to have weakened somewhat.
When a fire element swordsman activates a [Flare Ball] in this range.

“Uooh!? Somehow, it looks like it's power has increased.”

In this range, there is currently no water magic essence, and on the contrary, fire magic essence has increased, so its power increases, just as the swordsman realizes, mainly due to correction of these external factors.

Beside me, Randy is impressed, saying, “Heeh, seriously.”
The swordsman is also killing monsters while having fun, since I'm sure he'll get [Magic Overuse Sickness], I'll give him some medicine.
The healer was very impressed with my unique healing knowledge.

“The idea of taking medicinal herbs to improve healing... What's more, the fact that you've discovered a way to simplify the complex arrangement is wonderful! I would love to learn more about it!”

“A, ah—... I'm holding a [study session] at night, so please come along there.”

It's good that they’re proactive, but dealing with them one by one is troublesome, so I started holding study sessions to deal with them collectively.
Apart from this healer, there are currently around a dozen participants, but they are mostly magicians and healers.

That’s how we conquer the E-rank dungeon.
My level has increased by 1.

Josiah
Job: Magician Lv.31
Element: Light Magic Lv.20

HP: 1500/1500
MP: 42000/42000

Physical Attack: 200
Magic Attack: 562
Defense: 20
Strength: 20
Agility: 70

There are no changes in Defense and Strength, and the maximum MP didn’t rise this time.
The ones that are increasing explosively are HP (stamina), Agility, Physical Attack, and Magic Attack.
Seeing that the increase is focused on these three things, I'm convinced.
Light-element magicians are evasive attackers.
Evade attacks and perform attacks. The fact that my Physical Attacks are rising in desperation is probably an insurance when going up against monsters that magic attacks don't work against.

(No, it's troublesome though...)

Even though I had identified a trend, I was still pursuing an efficient way of defeating monsters and conquering dungeons.
And that’s not a drawn-out frontal combat.
Above all, using a wand for physical attacks is…
I guess it can't be helped this time... Because how stats are distributed is random.

We safely finished the conquest of the E-rank dungeon.
The party was disbanded, and I decided to have lunch for the C-rank dungeon in the afternoon.
Randy invites me, “How about you join us for lunch?”. But I don't have the guts to go into a restaurant which aristocrats frequent while dressed as a commoner. Also, I don't know anything about table manners. Thus, I politely declined.

“Thank you for waiting. Here is the [Pirnu Circle].”

What I ordered at a small restaurant different from the other day was a dish that would be called [Margherita] in the world I used to live in.
It's a type of dough that's smaller than a pizza, covered with a tomato-like red vegetable sauce called [Pirnu], cheese, and spices and then baked.

Suddenly, I realize that it's getting noisy outside.
Apparently, there is a weapon sale on the street, and everyone from nobles to commoners want to stop by.
Ahhh... isn't street sales prohibited in this country?

Apparently, he's the type of guy who travels from country to country with his mobile stall.

“Come on, come on! From nobles to adventurers, please take a look!! We have all sorts of things from cheap weapons to weapons made from rare materials!”
