“Huh …”
Olivia sighs.
I turned my gaze towards her from the green and red leaves I was facing.
“I’ve heard rumors, but I’ve never seen you before. Who has two ‘rune’ attributes?”
Runes are magic.
And magic has several attributes.
Typical examples are “fire”, “water”, “wind”, “earth”, “thunder”, “gold”, “darkness”, and “light”.
It is said that the old god decided when he made human beings that only one of them could be used.
However, there are exceptions to everything. Even if it was set by God.
I have two attributes. That is, “fire” and “thunder”.
Gubagara changes the color of its leaves depending on the attributes of the magical power it sucks.
The fire attribute is red. The lightning attribute appears in color, like green.
Perhaps the Culinary Guild chose Gubagara Fruit as a test because they wanted to know how much magic one had and what attributes they had.
The guy who thought about it is a pretty smart person. At least I knew that the little receptionist in front of me wasn’t the one who thought that.
“Well … but it’s overkill. Didn’t it mess up the guild?”
“I advised you to do it outside. I also said that there would be a hole in the ceiling.”
“U … but, but —-“
“Rather thank you, because I caught a thief trying to get into the cooking guild.”
“Huh?”
The next moment, a sharp sound was heard.
It’s the sound of me cutting out the floor beneath.
Before I fell into the hole, I flew away.
“When did you cut it?”
Next to Pamela, I shook my chin.
“Look at this …”
Inside the hole that suddenly appeared in the cooking guild were unidentified men entwined in the roots of Gubagara.
In the hands of the men who said they were in charge of unidentified picaxe is being held.
“What? These people ??”
“Probably a robber who aimed at the contents of the guild vault.”
“Go, robbery ??”
Pamela makes a crazy voice.
It’s old, but it’s a surefire way to get close to the safe.
A few people dig a hole and approach the safe.
With the magic of “earth attribute”, it would be just a few minutes.
The inside of the vault is covered with hard metal, but it can be pierced by slowly melting it with “fire” magic. Moreover, it can be executed silently.
“But no matter how much it’s underground, you can hear the sound of digging, right?”
“And I often open and close the safe. Even if it works, if I come across a staff member.”
Olivia turned blue and quivered, but I shook my head, saying it was unlikely.
“That’s not the case. They were collecting the information in the place one by one. Perhaps they were going to do something to get our attention when using magic. For example, if they suddenly yelled at us. Kana”
It was at that time.
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Suddenly, the angry echoes in the messed up guild.
At the same time, there was a scream.
A man is pointing a knife at the lady he was chatting with earlier.
“You were the poor guy from a while ago —“
It was a hunter waiting in the waiting room.
With his bloody eyes facing me, the belly of the blade is against the woman’s throat. The woman reached out and shouted, “Help!” And pleaded.
“Is this person an accomplice?”
Olivia puts her hand on her mouth and is surprised.
“It’s the tapping that Pamela pointed out, but that’s not the case. It’s probably a code. By hitting the floor and magically amplifying the sound, he would have kept his friends in the ground informed of the guild’s situation.”
“Because of you, our plan is ruined! How will you take responsibility !! Yeah !?”
Keeping the knife in his hand, the man screamed.
However, my attitude cannot be changed by such a threat. Immediately after shaking my head, I will gently advise the man.
“It’s not my fault. It’s the responsibility of the guy who made the robbery plan full of holes.
“Nani …”
“Don’t sin anymore. Now you can still avoid being hanged.”
“Wow! I’m not gonna get caught! I’ll definitely run away !! Come on!”
The man pulls the woman’s hand. I’m going to take him down while taking the hostages.
“Cho! Don’t let him escape, Zelet”
“You do it … I am a hunter, not a bounty hunter. “
There are different types of hunters and I only deal with S-Rank monsters, not humans.
I walked around and approached the man.
“Hey! Do you want me to kill her?”
The man pushes the knife further into the woman’s throat.
It seemed to tear the skin, and red blood ran down the knife.
“Stop! Stay away! Will I be killed !?”
The lady screams, but ignoring all the complaints I get closer.
“You can’t be killed without worrying. No, you can’t be killed.”
You are also a companion, right?
“”Huh?””
The voices of Pamela and Olivia overlap.
At that moment, the woman moved.
Taking out a portable staff from her sleeves.
She turned an amplifier that looked like a baton towards me.
“Why did you get caught?”
[Fire lance]!
The flame type magic comes out forward from the tip of the staff.
That is not one either.
There are three.
The other two were from the women who were chatting with the lady and watching the situation right next to me.
“You’re going to be black charcoal !!”
The lady shouts, a flame pops out from the staff.
―――― It looked like a crab.
Poshu!
A goofy sound echoes in a guild surrounded by Gubagara trees.
The flames erupting disappear within a certain distance. It’s three at the same time.
“Good grief……”
While everyone was stunned, I shrugged my shoulders.
“This is the root of a mature Gubagara tree. With that much magical power, it will be sucked up in an instant. Did you activate the magic without knowing that?”
“But, don’t be stupid!use magic Runes! !! “
The lady grins and continues, looking at the splendidly overgrown magic tree.
“If you can’t use magic, you’re not scary!
It was the man who gained momentum.
Holding the big butcher knife that was displayed in the cooking guild. It’s a kitchen knife used by multiple adults to cut large whales.
The man lifted it lightly and held the tip towards me.
The physique is higher over there. The muscle strength is also higher.
In addition, he seems to be accustomed to handling weapons. The stance is in the hall as it is. It feels like he used martial arts.
More than anything—-.
The man shakes a butcher knife.
“Maneuver skill―――― ”
[Zankan Sword]!
Slashing pressure cut through the inner wall of the guild.
Fortunately the building did not collapse, but a large crack ran through the wall.
“How…….Maneuver skill user Master mosquito……”
”Maneuver skill Is, so to speak, “magic Runes” It is a miracle at the opposite position.
While magic releases magical power outside the body, combat maneuvers refine and expose magical power inside the body.
In other words, remodel yourself with magical power and draw out more power than your potential ability, I will show you that.
And humans have only one miracle.
in short “magicRunes” Usage” or “Maneuver skill”
This world is made up so that only one of the miraculous messengers can get it.
”Maneuver skill” Consumes magical power in the body, so it is not affected by the Gubagara tree. As long as the person’s magical power is not exhausted, you can use it as much as you want.
“Mr. Zelet!”
Olivia’s screaming voice echoes and tries to jump out of the reception.
However, it was Pamela who controlled her.
“Okay, Olivia”
“But Mr. Zelet uses magic Runes. It’s a messenger. Right now, he can’t release magical power because of the Gubagara tree, right? It’s a disadvantage no matter what you think. “
“It’s okay. Don’t worry. Zelet is an S-class hunter.”
I stand in front of the man as they talk behind me.
The man who used the maneuver grinned when he saw me who didn’t move even one step.
“I admire your guts for not moving even after I used my Maneuver skill. Or is it just that you can’t move even one step? “
“Huh —-“
I started laughing.
“What’s wrong”
“Current tactics … It’s a tactic that can be split into two for each building. Even though it’s under the influence of the Gubagara tree, aren’t you lacking in training? I can’t say, how can I fear such an inexperienced person? “
“you!!”
“Is that true? You are a real Maneuver skill user Master, If so, it could have been a hard attack on the cooking guild from the beginning. It’s a lot easier and it doesn’t go around. You’re not as dependable on your peers as you think. “
“Huh, it’s ridiculous !! you, who Puts on a weird black robe!
He swings his weapon.
But by that time I was already anticipating it.
With a slight thunderstorm.
“He’s fast !!”
“Correct …”
“Huh?”
Maneuver skill―――― [Shadow bolt]!
I Take out a sword from the black robe.
With the momentum, I swung it toward the man’s giant body.
Jean! The sound of thunder roaring echoes.
At that moment, slashing and thunder struck the man alternately.
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A scream echoes in the guild.
It was over.
I quickly put it in my robe to hide the curved sword. The man finally collapsed after the sound of the scabbard.
I’m grateful. For the time being, I kept the power down to the extent of half-killing.
What I want to kill is a monster, not a person.
After that, I have one thing to say to you.
“It’s not a weird robe. This is my fashion …”
I corrected the collar of the slightly bent robe.
