Dungeons are places where battles occur without warning, but Evans’ dungeon has a higher frequency.
Because it is a place where goblins live.
With more goblins than other monsters, this place was a place where battles occurred every few minutes.
That is why Lucy’s opportunity to experience battle ca soon.
Lucy predicted the monsters’ attacks accurately like before, and soon enough, she was in a battle with a group of goblins as she had said.
To knights, goblins were creatures that would die if they were provoked, so the battle was over in an instant.
However, this battle was different from the previous ones.
Two goblins were intentionally left alive.
In order to have them fight Lucy.
“In dungeons, you often have to fight multiple enemies alone. So try fighting two of them. I believe you will do well.”
Lucy clenched her shield and mace tightly after hearing Possell’s words.
Lucy stood in front of the goblins, but they did not move easily.
They must have been scared because of the knights’ massacre.
Since it was a situation where they wouldn’t be able to have a real fight, Pervi whispered to Karl.
“Aren’t we making too much of a ss? She won’t be able to practice against those guys.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
“Huh?”
“The young lady will take care of it.”
It wasn’t difficult for Lucy to inspire her opponents’ fighting spirit.
She had a blessing.
A blessing that even the skilled knight Karl and the Commander Possell would have a hard ti resisting.
“What is it? A slly goblin: Are you scared of a girl? Ahaha. You’re so ugly.”
As soon as she taunted, the goblins’ eyes rolled back.
The fear that had been inside them just a mont ago had transford into anger.
Lucy wasn’t flustered by the direct emotions directed at her.
She simply raised her shield with a relaxed expression.
The weapons the goblins were holding weren’t clubs or anything like that.
Those were weapons used by goblin tribes living in the grasslands.
The goblins in the dungeon all used iron weapons that they had obtained from so unknown source.
The two standing in front of Lucy were the sa.
One was a mace the size of a goblin’s head, and the other was a spear that seed to have been made for goblins.
Either weapon could inflict fatal wounds on Lucy with just a touch.
An ordinary person would have retreated at the sight of the flashing iron, but Lucy was different.
Having trained for combat so tirelessly, she stood still and watched the goblins do their thing.
Soon enough, a goblin holding a spear charged at her.
The move he chose was the obvious stabbing.
Lucy saw him and dodged the spear with her footwork by moving forward.
Then she hit the goblin in the face with her shield.
The shield Lucy was holding was a terrible weapon for a goblin with a childlike body.
The goblin that was hit by the shield flew backward.
As soon as he saw his comrade fall, the goblin holding the mace let out his characteristic cry and swung his mace.
However, that attack, which contained a fatal blow, was blocked by Lucy’s shield so vainly.
Thud!
As it was an attack with all his might, the recoil was also severe.
The goblin’s body was left vulnerable as the mace bounced off, and Lucy did not miss him.
Crunch.
Lucy’s blunt weapon shattered the goblin’s head.
Lucy, who had ended the goblin’s life, ran towards the goblin who was trying to stand up while staggering.
The goblin tried to grab his spear in a hurry, but Lucy’s mace was already above his head.
The goblin was unable to resist and fell down.
That was how Lucy’s first real fight ca to an end.
Karl could not help but admire the series of battles.
He had believed that she would do well, but not to this extent!
The way she neutralized one enemy first and then dealt with another was already worthy of being called a skilled warrior.
Who would have thought that Lucy, who fought this battle, had only trained for two weeks?
I would consider her a person who had never moved her body properly until a month ago.
If soone had said that to him, who had no idea what was going on, Karl would have told them to stop joking.
Weapon proficiency.
Handling a shield.
Fighting sothing alive.
It wasn’t sothing that could be easily improved.
If anyone could grow like that, why would noble families spend a lot of money to raise a standing army?
They could just conscript whenever necessary.
Lucy’s talent was extraordinary.
She must really be a descendant of the Allen family.
If the young lady hadn’t just started training recently but had been holding a weapon since she was very young, how monstrous would she have been?
What if soone who could grow to this extent in just a month had gained years of experience?
Karl was certain that Lucy’s na was engraved among the nas of many promising people on the continent.
Lucy, who had finished off the two goblins, wiped the blood off her face with the back of her hand and took a deep breath.
Who could have imagined that behind that unchanging complexion, there was a frail person who hadn’t been able to eat at for days because she had killed an orc?
Karl observed her from behind, and when he saw Lucy’s hands trembling, he approached her to comfort his master.
Wiping the blood off my face, I thought that if I let my guard down, I would unburden my mind.
The anger of the goblins heading towards .
The weapons that would inflict great wounds on if I made a mistake for a mont.
The sensation and screams I felt when I struck the goblins’ heads.
The disgusting sll of the blood that splattered on my face.
No matter how positively I thought about it, it wasn’t a good experience.
I had been feeling disgusted when I saw the knights taking care of the goblins, but after taking care of the goblins myself, I couldn’t calm down.
Shit.
It seed like it would take a long ti to get used to harming living things.
Let’s think about sothing else.
If I keep thinking about this, the situation will only get worse.
I have sothing to think about.
The mont I defeated the two goblins, I felt sothing flowing into my body.
It was different from the buff effect of the sugaki skill.
What should I say?
It felt like sothing was filling my soul.
I had a guess about this.
Leveling up.
If you feel stronger after killing a monster, then leveling up is the only way.
But why did I level up already?
To go from level 1 to 2, you have to kill about twenty goblins.
Killing two goblins and one orc is not enough experience.
Am I being treated as part of the sa party as the knights right now?
So, I’m sharing the experience points they hunted?
That could be true.
It was a very possible story.
No, if I just assud that the feeling I had just had was a leveling up, then it was safe to say that there were no other possibilities.
Haha.
Crazy.
The day I get to ride the bus at Soul Academy!
I always struggle to level up NPCs, but now that I get to get it from an NPC, it feels different.
Hmm.
Wait a minute.
If I can ride the bus with the knights and level up, doesn’t that an I can reach level 10 in this training if I do well?
Possell said that this training will last about a week, so let’s assu that we clear this dungeon once a day during that ti.
I know the experience gained from clearing Evans’ dungeon in the shortest ti possible with a party of four, so if we calculate based on that.
It’s possible.
If we clear Ruel’s Trial tomorrow and get the Mace.
As I said before, Ruel’s Mace has an increase in experience gain.
If we can just get that effect, it won’t be hard to get to level 10.
Since I know what it feels like to level up, I can tell the level I’ll have if I don’t get confused.
That ans I can control my level up, so there’s no reason to hesitate to level up anymore.
Okay I still think that repeating Evans’ dungeon is the height of inefficiency, but if I can take the bus comfortably, it’s a different story.
If I just get to level 10, I can plan a growth path that will be the most efficient in the two months left until the Academy exam.
I’ll have to think about optimizing it, but it’s not that hard for , a veteran of Soul Academy.
It was good that I followed the knights.
“Miss.”
I was pulled out of my thoughts by a voice calling .
When I raised my head, Karl was looking at with worried eyes.
“Are you okay?”
Are you okay?
I’m completely fine!
As a veteran of Soul Academy, where could I be happier than this?
I kept worrying about whether I would do well in the Academy entrance exam, but if I keep going like this, I’ll have special admission as a given!
Maybe I’ll just repeat the cliche of Academy stories.
Defeating an incredibly strong person in a duel and getting everyone’s attention.
The main characters of Soul Academy showing interest in !
Just imagining it is fun.
Who would have thought I’d be looking forward to the Academy exam?
“Your hands are shaking.”
Karl’s lips stiffened slightly at his words.
That’s where it showed.
I see why he’d ask with this expression.
Things like my face and general actions will be okay since they’ve been adjusted by the sugaki skill.
I tried it before, but my face always had a an smile on it because of the sugaki skill.
I don’t know what would happen if she were in an extre situation and terrified, but it’s not like that right now.
So, I’m okay, right?
Maybe?
I turned the shield around and wiped the dark blood away and looked at my face reflected in it.
I was still smiling anly.
As expected, it’s the sugaki skill.
There’s no flaw at all.
But if there’s no flaw, you should have compensated for her shaking hands a bit.
Look.
The hand holding the shield is shaking, so the reflected in the shield looks like I’m trembling.
That’s why I’m worried.
“Would you like to take a short break?”
On top of Karl’s worries, Possell’s worries were added.
Hmm.
Did they find out?
Well, how many tis has Possell seen soone like with no experience trembling?
How could I fool that old man with so much experience?
If that were the case, I would have been an actor instead of a ga addict.
Still, I don’t feel bad about being worried.
When I first possessed Lucy’s body, I never thought I would have others worrying about .
“I’m fine.”
I’m being honest.
I get why you guys are so worried, but I’m a really weak-willed person.
If I thought I couldn’t hold out, I would’ve given up a long ti ago.
Whether it’s the effects of my skills or sothing else, I’m here because I can hold out sohow.
“Really.”
So don’t worry.
‘Commander of the Knights…’
“Idiot Possell, what would you do if I were another rookie knight?”
“… I would’ve pushed you so hard that you wouldn’t be able to think. It would’ve gotten harder if you had the ti to think.”
“Then do the sa for . Don’t do anything weird, you idiot.”
It’s sothing you have to get used to if you want to survive in this world of Soul Academy.
There will co a day when this becos less shitty.
Just hold on until then.
Since you have an unbreakable will, you can do that, right?
Possell listened to quietly, then slightly opened his eyes, smiled, and nodded.
“Understood. If you wish.”
…
Oh.
Hey.
But you’ll leave room to breathe, right?
Right?
You’re not going to treat the countess like so other knight without letting her sleep, are you?
