Book 6: Chapter 110
After using the wooden tablet within the residence, Vurs group was transferred to the fourth floor. As usual, they ended up within a tunnel that had a light at the end of it, leading them to the main plaza. Upon exiting the tunnel, a large building greeted them, and behind that building in the sky, there were four holographic projections of a shield, a sword, a bow, and a staff.
Tafel turned her head towards Lindyss. Whatre we doing on this floor? the demon asked. Not more weapon training, right?
Learning about party compositions, the cursed elf said. Well get an introduction inside the first building. Later, well be separated into different groups. Lindyss pointed at the projections in the sky. Tanks, melee attackers, ranged attackers, supports.
The first few floors really are like a crash course to becoming an adventurer, Tafel said and nodded. And to move on the next floor we have to?
Form a party with other examinees and use what we learn to defeat a series of enemies, Lindyss said. She turned towards Melody and Kax. Do you two already know how to fight in a party?
Kax nodded. Kax swing axe. Kax hit enemy, no hit ally.ViiSiit for latest novels
Back on Earth, there were games that had similar concepts, Melody said. Although Ive never fought in a party before, I know what I should and shouldnt do.
Alright, Lindyss said. Well skip the lessons and go straight to the written exam. Once everyone passes, we can form a party to challenge the advancement exam.
A sigh escaped from Melodys lips. I thought I was done with written exams for the rest of my life, but I cant even escape from them in a fantasy world.
You didnt mention thered be a written exam, Tafel said. If I knew, I wouldve studied a bit first.
The group paused for a second before continuing forward, and Melody looked around. Was no one going to comment on that? Who was Mervin? She did notice the runes on Vurs body flashing one after another as if they were conversing. Even though she was curious, Melody didnt say a word, following behind the group with Kax at her side. Loud clanking and thumping sounds drew her attention, and she turned her head to look behind herself. A red and black blur zoomed across her vision, and a second later, a gust of wind surged past, causing her hair to fly backwards. What the?
Tafel! Youre here!
Huh? Tafel blinked at the figure that had stopped in front of the group. Mary? Before the demon could say anything else, she was crushed by Marys embrace. H-hey! Youre squishing me!
Sorry, sorry, Mary said and released Tafel. The red-haired woman beamed. I was waiting for you for so long. Its great that youre here. Now, we can work together to become strong enough to slay the evil dragon!
Is that what youre doing here? Lindyss asked, causing Mary to flinch and glare at the cursed elf. I see; I thought you got cold feet and gave up on trying to beat Grimmy.
Dont look down on me, Mary said and clenched the hilt of her sword. No matter what, Ill avenge Mary Junior.
Tafels gaze shifted back and forth from Mary to Lindyss. Although Mary looked like she was ready for a fight, the cursed elf was simply standing there with her arms crossed and a bored expression on her face. Tafel cleared her throat. Mary Juniors still alive, she said. Grimmy hasnt eaten her.
What? Mary asked. She blinked at Lindyss. Didnt you say Grimmy ate Mary Junior?
Yes, I did, Lindyss said. Upon seeing the look Tafel gave her, the cursed elf heaved a sigh. But it looks like I was mistaken. Your precious turtlesnake is still alivefor now. You see, someone attacked Grimmys family, and hes mighty upset about that. I wouldnt be surprised if he took his anger out on the helpless little turtle you so heartlessly abandoned.
Auntie, stop riling her up! Tafel said and pursed her lips. Its technically your fault Gloria was hurt. If you hadnt provoked Mary into attacking Grimmy, would that whole mess with the Dragon Slayers have happened? Speaking of whichTafels voice lowered to a whisperI wonder if Grimmy knows youre the reason why Mary was so bent on vengeance.
Youve grown enough to blackmail people now, huh? Lindyss asked, raising an eyebrow. You were much cuter when you were still a kid.
