“Ha!”

“You’re getting better.”

Deep in the forest, I’m fighting beetles, stag beetles and other insect monsters. There are about thirty of them around me and they’re all coming at me. This is because I discovered that I can focus their attention on me by repeatedly exposing them to the smoke, which they love.

“You’re doing great, so I’m going to make you even heavier.”

“Mu…”

Now I’m at level 89. It seems that once you reach level 90, it becomes even harder to raise your level. As my level has risen, Judy is using gravity magic to make my body heavier in order to put pressure on me. This is similar to Sophie’s gravity magic, but a little different. Sophie weighed down the entire space around me. Judy, on the other hand, only weighed down the individual me. That’s why my attacks against the insects don’t increase in power due to the magic surrounding me.

“Lightning slash!”

“Gee!”

“Keep it up.”

And every week, my menu of attacks against the monsters changes. For the first two weeks, I used only my feet, but the next week, I used only my fists, even though I had a sword. And this time, the menu was to destroy the hardest antlers of the beetle and stag beetle monsters with spirit magic and then defeat them with feet and fists. This was also tricky and I almost ended up hitting or kicking the monsters whose horns I hadn’t destroyed yet. If I make a mistake and defeat it, the weight on me will increase as a penalty.

By the way, Lightning slash is a spirit magic that sends lightning flying as a slash by swinging a sword. Of course, ordinary lightning magic doesn’t have anything like this. You can say that this is an original. Well, it’s just a copy of the spirit magic that Elira was doing…

“Last 30 minutes, fight freely.”

“Freely?”

“Use all skills at your disposal. No menus.”

“Yes! Lightning double enchantment! Raiden armor!”

And for the first time today, I got permission to use all the skills that are banned in the last 30 minutes. Maybe it’s because I’m level 90 today? But with the freedom, the weight of Judy’s spirit magic on me has almost doubled. Even with the double enchantment and the Raiden armor, my status doesn’t increase to double, so it’s a negative in terms of attack and agility. But it’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of fighting with all my might.

“Fu…”

“Fifteen minutes to go… as expected of Zeros-sama.”

While saying, Judy levitated downwards. It seems that I have defeated nearly all the thirty monsters that were here in fifteen minutes. Thanks to the double enchantment and thunderbolt armor, I don’t take much damage from the attacks of monsters of this level. So I only had to lightly guard against the attacks and it was over quickly.

“I’ll give you a mock fight. Come.”

“Eh? Is that okay?”

Judy said as she finished storing all of the monster corpses. However, the weight that was restraining me earlier was released and the magic detection shows that her spirit is not in advent and the weapon Judy is holding is an ordinary wooden sword. I think it’ll be difficult for Judy to fight me with just that.

“It’s fine.”

“I understand!”

If she endures a little pain, she’ll descend the spirit. I thought , so I went all out to show her a little pain.

“Haaaaa! Lightning slash!”

“What’s wrong? You won’t hit me like that?”.

I’m attacking with everything I’ve got. I also use spirit magic. However, the attacks don’t land at all. She avoids all on a thin margin.

“What…?”

“Thirty minutes are up. Let’s go home.”

The next thing I know, I’m lying on the ground. No… she scooped me up by my feet with a wooden sword. Then she flipped me over, so I laid down…

“How did you manage to avoid all that?”

“How long do you think I’ve been watching you fight from above? I know all of your movement habits. Your fighting style is so quirky and easy to understand. From now on, I’m going to correct those as well.”

“Yes please!”

It’s a bad habit of mine to get carried away when I get a little stronger, but every time I get carried away, someone breaks my long nose. I’m going to keep training hard. I decided to do so and followed Judy as she ran home.

“I knew all of Zeros-sama’s habits…”

Judy wiped the blood dripping from her cheek with her sleeve so that Zeros wouldn’t notice and healed the wound with recovery magic.
