All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 18

9. Proved It – 2

9. Proved It – 2

Not only Acewin’s sword but also the artifacts of the Class C raid members were looted, and they were all tied up with the rope Ian had brought.

Once the situation was under control, Ian sat back down.

“Myane, do it again.”

“Myaaaa!!”

Myane, who had been playing with its tail beside him, cried out at his request.

Sensing the energy, Ian chuckled softly.

“This might be surprisingly helpful. Kirke, this is Dispel, right?”

The power to nullify magical energy.

It wasn’t very strong now, but if he shared the energy of the sun with it and helped it grow, its power might become stronger.

Ian picked up Myane.

Myane rubbed its body against Ian’s hand, as if it liked it.

“Myamyamya~.”

Myane, who had been rubbing its soft fur, sat back on Ian’s lap and started kneading.

-KWAH-KWANG!!

A fireball soared into the sky.

Seeing the signal indicating the end of the training, Haryun collapsed.

“Haa… Haa… Bakbare, can you support me… please? Carrying me would be even better. Cough! Haa. Good.”

“Sure.”

Knowing how much Haryun had struggled to break the Guardian Formation, Bakbare readily carried him on his back.

উইডিয়া was also carrying Wildy.

No, all the mages in Class B were being supported by their raid members.

Breaking the Guardian Formation was that strenuous.

“Wow. Breaking the Guardian Formation is incredibly tough.”

“Those damn bastards.”

It felt like hammering against a fortress wall.

The ax blade was completely ruined because it was so hard.

Wildy smiled at Balla, who was grumbling.

“But we won.”

“You’re right.”

She looked at Blench, who came over to her side.

He was holding the flag of Class C in his hand.

A flag that no class had ever obtained before.

To think that they, the lowest in cooperative combat, would be the ones to get their hands on it.

Wildy gently touched the flag, and Oerina grinned as she watched.

“Anyway, it looks like Ian held up well?”

“With his skills, it’s only natural. Well, shall we go back then?”

When they gathered at the meeting point, Class C instructor Blackwood was grimacing as if he had just eaten something unpleasant.

In contrast, Aranse was flushed and very excited.

That was because Class B had always been in the lower ranks in cooperative combat.

So, he couldn’t help but be happy that they had beaten Class C, who had always been in first place.

He looked around contentedly.

He smiled even more, pleased, as Ian walked over with the flag in one hand.

While Aranse was rejoicing, Blench ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

“My friend! You’ve worked hard!”

“It’s nothing much.”

“But what’s that on your waist?”

Blench looked at Ian’s waist.

He had a sword he hadn’t seen before.

“Spoils of war.”

Ian returned the artifacts he had received earlier to Wildy and Haryun and showed them what he had newly acquired.

“……Where did you get this again?”

“Spoils of war.”

“Ah. Um…… You took that…….”

It must be from the Class C raid members.

Wildy looked at the artifact he was showing with a reluctant expression.

“It’s not that valuable. The magic is low-grade, and there aren’t many uses left, so it’s worth about 5 gold each at most?”

That’s what he had heard from Kirke while resting earlier.

Ian thought of it as pocket money and stuffed the artifacts into his pocket.

Grazin gave him a bitter smile.

“You took all of that?”

“Is it not allowed?”

“It’s not that it’s not allowed, but you’ll incur resentment. Especially with that sword…….”

“Do I look like someone who’s afraid of incurring resentment?”

If he were afraid of incurring resentment in the first place, he wouldn’t have caused so much friction.

“Hey. But what happened?”

“I just finished it all in one go.”

When Ian said it as if it were nothing, the Class B students nodded as if they expected it.

“Wow~ Ian!!”

“You’ve worked hard!!”

“Wow~ I never thought the day would come when I’d beat Class C in cooperative combat.”

The main contributor to this victory was, of course, Ian.

If he hadn’t defended the flag alone, this result wouldn’t have been possible.

Even look at his condition.

Not a single scratch, not even a sign of a fight.

This could be called an overwhelming victory.

At that moment, Aranse approached them.

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard!!”

Glancing at Blackwood’s sour expression, Aranse shouted confidently.

“Tonight, I’ll buy you meat in the village, so eat and drink to your heart’s content!!”

He shouted with joy, but the Class B students replied coldly.

“Let’s eat separately. It’s uncomfortable.”

“Hey, it’s over. Let’s go.”

“We don’t take instructions outside of class.”

“Ian! I felt something while fighting earlier, let’s spar!”

Aranse was embarrassed by their behavior, as they only said what they wanted to say and quickly dispersed.

“How did you get those guys who don’t listen to a word I say to move?”

He knew that Ian had become the center of the class.

How could Ian control and make those guys who acted like that even to the instructor follow him?

When Aranse asked seriously, he replied nonchalantly.

“Would a rabbit like it if you gave it meat?”

“Oh? Really? Hey! It’s vegetarian today! I’ll treat you to a salad!!”

But none of the Class B students responded to his shout, and Aranse was very embarrassed.

“It was just a joke, you could have played along.”

* * *

A few days after the cooperative combat, Ian headed to the academy’s annex in the morning for the elective class he had applied for.

When he entered the classroom on the first basement floor of the annex, there were quite a few students.

When Ian entered, most of the students’ attention was focused on him.

Class B, which had always been in the lower ranks in cooperative combat, had beaten Class C.

Having heard the rumor that Ian was at the center of it, everyone couldn’t help but pay attention to him.

“Is that Ian?”

“He’s smaller than I thought?”

“I heard he’s incredibly strong, so I thought he’d look like a monster…… But what’s that cat? It’s so cute.”

Ian ignored the murmuring voices from here and there.

When he sat in an empty seat, a familiar face sat next to him.

“Taking Dungeon Exploration is a wise choice.”

Grazin’s expression was bright.

Having confirmed Ian’s skills, he was even more convinced.

“To become an excellent adventurer, you need to visit dungeons often. There are many artifacts in dungeons.”

“If I get them, you’ll research them?”

“Yes. I’ll buy them from you at a high price, so if you get anything, hand it over. Or I can just research them and return them.”

“Is your family rich?”

“I’ve never heard anyone say I don’t have money.”

“Is it a prestigious family?”

“There’s no place in the western continent that doesn’t know our family.”

As Grazin said with a smile, the classroom door opened.

“Good morning, everyone~! Alright, alright. Let’s start the class.”

A woman with dark green hair entered, speaking in a bright voice.

Dressed in light armor, she wiggled her long ears, a characteristic of elves, and smiled brightly.

“In the last class, we talked about the Paulo Dungeon, right? Well, Mr. Grazin? Would you like to tell us about the Paulo Dungeon as a review?”

Grazin, who was sitting next to Ian, stood up.

She smiled contentedly as he fluently explained the characteristics of the Paulo Dungeon and the monsters that appeared there.

“Excellent as expected. Yes, the Paulo Dungeon is quite famous in the western continent. It’s a place where Acid Slimes often appear, making it difficult to use metal weapons.”

She quickly wrote the characteristics of Acid Slimes on the blackboard.

“There are several ways to deal with Acid Slimes…….”

Her class was so skillful that even Ian, who was hearing it for the first time, could grasp the main points properly.

After neatly finishing the theory class for about two hours, she approached Ian, who was about to leave.

“Are you Mr. Ian, who applied for the class mid-term this time?”

“That’s right.”

“Let me reintroduce myself. I’m Valentine Sardi. As you can see, I’m an elf. How was the first class? If there are any difficult parts…….”

She pointed to Grazin, who was next to Ian.

“Ask me or learn from Mr. Grazin. Oh, and do you know that we’re going on a field trip today?”

He hadn’t heard that.

She gave a bitter smile when Ian shook his head.

“It seems like it wasn’t communicated. Well, if you really don’t want to, you can skip it this time. You only need to attend three times during the semester.”

“How far is the field trip location?”

“No, it’s a dungeon about two hours away by carriage. It’s not a very difficult dungeon, so you don’t have to feel pressured. However…….”

If Ian had learned Dungeon Exploration separately, it would have been different, but since that wasn’t the case, there were quite a few things to be careful about.

“There are quite a few traps in the dungeon. And there are many monsters too.”

“I see.”

“This field trip is only about exploring the first floor. Only slimes and skeletons appear on the first floor, so it’s quite easy.”

They would only explore the first floor, learning combat methods in narrow places, and how to find and disarm traps.

As Valentine explained, Grazin grabbed Ian.

“Let’s go together. If there’s anything difficult, I’ll explain it to you.”

“You don’t have to do it if you feel burdened. What will you do?”

“By any chance, are you not going to the Baradis Territory?”

“There are Curtid ruins there…… I’m thinking of going there next semester if you take the Ruins Research class. Are you interested?”

He is interested in the Temple of the Moon in the Baradis Territory.

When Ian nodded, she smiled brightly.

“Then please apply next semester. And we’re leaving at midnight, so if you’re going to participate, come to the academy’s main gate before midnight.”

* * *

On the way back to the classroom for the main class, Grazin told him many things.

The name of the dungeon they were going to for the field trip this time was the Bobild Dungeon.

It was a dungeon discovered by an A-class adventurer named Bobild half a year ago, and it has been explored up to the third floor.

“Generally, monsters continue to appear in a dungeon until the core of the dungeon is removed.”

“Does it regenerate?”

“You can think of it that way. Dungeons mostly use ley lines [naturally occurring lines of energy] to build their core.”

After that, the core uses the ley lines to continue summoning monsters.

“That’s why you can find more valuable artifacts in older dungeons.”

“Why?”

“You need good artifacts to control the ley lines for a long time. Also, you have to withstand the magic power of the core that has absorbed the energy of the ley lines for a long time.”

“Oho…….”

“And the core that has been created for a long time is also a material for making good artifacts.”

“It must be expensive.”

“If you collect those, hand them over to me. I’ll buy them at a good price.”

“Don’t you take monster materials?”

“Ah. That’s a bit…….”

He would take materials with magical value, but ordinary monster materials were useless to him.

Ian was disappointed at Grazin’s words.

“Even a troll’s third eye?”

“Where did you get that? It’s often used to make holy objects, so take it to the Temple of the Sun.”
