(009) Kobold exterminating Growth Cheat

Translator: Tseirp

2 Kobolds ahead, 2 kobolds behind.

This is a considerable pinch.

Hey, look, Elise. Theres a rookie getting attacked by kobolds.

Indeed, Jofre. Seeing that he has a sword but he has not unsheathed it, it means he is still a Lv1 Apprentice Swordsman.

Im saved, there were other adventurers in front.

A roughly 18 years old red-haired male and a roughly 17 years old blue-haired female.

With this, I should be able to survive this.

Thats what I thought, but something was strange.

Okay, Elise, want to bet? Kobold and that rookie, which would win.

Jofre, is there even going to be a fight? No matter how you look at it, he looks like an amateur that has never fought before. Hes actually fighting against Kobolds with a stone. Dont you think we should help?

There no way to know if there would be a fight without it happening first, Elise. Well, Ill bet on that rookie. Oi rookie, we wont help! Survive this with your own strength!

Oi oi, seriously?!

Youre not going to help?

Of course, adventurers are rivals and we gain no benefits from helping you. Like what our adventuring senpai said. Lions push their cubs down a valley and praise the ones that crawl up. You can do it rookie! Im rooting for you!

That time we also almost saw death before our eyes. But thanks to that we became stronger. You should work hard too.

So, in the end, this would not be a turnaround? Just as I had that thought, the kobolds in front of me headed towards the adventurers that called out, Elise and Jofre.

Good, then I can concentrate on the 2 behind me I thought but,

Pashin I heard the supple sound of a whip.

You will not come over here!

Elises whip reversed the direction of the Kobolds charge. Was that a skill as well?

The situation wasnt improving at all. The kobolds in front of me charged towards me and attacked.

You dogs, you definitely have not been vaccinated for rabies. Absolutely dont bite me!

After saying that, I held my sharp stone up.

1 kobold.

If I defeat 1 kobold my level would rise.

Once that happens, I would be able to use my sword and break through this situation.

1-v-2 is only tough for Apprentice Swordsmen, I have the combined status of Jobless.

With that theres no way I cant win!

I steeled myself and ran towards my back.

And then, I assaulted the space between the 2 kobolds.

The kobolds extended their nails and scratched towards me.

However, at that moment, I forcefully broke through with a tackle.

I only received scratch wounds.

And then, I continued running.

Of course, the 4 kobolds gave chase but I had greater speed.

Naturally, the distance began to widen.

However, I then reduced my running speed.

And then, I looked back.

As expected, not all kobolds would have the same speed and 1 kobold was ahead of the others.

Seeing that, I turned around! Before the other kobolds reach me, I will have a 1-v-1 battle!

Ill decide it in a single strike.

I aimed for a mortal wound to the neck!

I held the sharp stone and planted a body blow on the kobold.

The kobold opened its large mouth and wanted to bite me.

At the same time, I struck out with my right arm.

In conclusion

Ouchhhhhh! Its almost as painful as getting run over by horses! No, it might even be above that!

The kobolds teeth drove into my left shoulder but, at the same time, my sharp stone penetrated the kobolds throat.

Blood spurted out from the kobolds throat, dyeing my face red but the blood and the kobold shined and disappeared, leaving behind a magic stone and teeth.

Eh? My level didnt rise!?

I turned heel and ran once again why on earth didnt my level rise?

Perhaps, I cant level up in battle?

As I was having those thoughts, I escaped to a certain degree

Ichinojo Level up

Apprentice Swordsman skill: Sword Equip obtained

Apprentice Swordsman skill: Slash obtained

Job: Apprentice Spearman is now available

Jobless skill: 2nd Job Setting skill has leveled up to 3rd Job Setting

Jobless skill: Job Appraisal obtained

3rd Job was automatically set as Commoner Lv15

Level up notice huh.

So its true, I cant level up in battle.

Instead of Commoner, Ill set it as Hunter.

I willed my 3rd job to change to Hunter, I was about to confirm my status but the other Kobolds at a distance were approaching.

Ive already obtained the Sword Equip skill.

If thats the case I unsheathed the sword on my waist.

The sword that I could not unsheathe just moments ago came out easily! The sword fit my hands well.

So thats the power of the skill.

And, the next thing on my mind was the skill calledSlash.

I tried to imagine it but what kind of skill wouldSlash be?

For skills like these, do they activate when I cry out the skill name?

Slash !

I willed it and swung the sword in a large arc.

Immediately after, the shockwave from the sword cleanly split the torso of the 3 chasing kobolds in half.

Ichinojo Level up

Apprentice Swordsman skill: Rotational Slash obtained

Hunter skill: Bow and Arrow Equip obtained

Hunter skill: Dismantling obtained

I once again grew all at once.

And I picked up the glowing stones and claws that they dropped.

These glowing stones are probably magic stones.

The claws are drop items huh Ill store them in my item bag for now.

Fu~ It somehow ended.

For the time being, I willed status open.

The sword has been added precisely into the equipment window.

This If I remember correctly, the average HP in this world is 50 and I am already above the average.

However, my shoulder hurts. I am down 11 HP. Moments earlier my HP was 30, so I would have died if I was bitten 3 times?

The rabbits attack hurt but my HP pretty much did not decrease at all, so I was surprised by the strength of that bite.

I thought that I had secured a margin of safety but in the end, I just barely survived that battle.

Also, my MP decreased by 2. That was probably consumed when I used Slash.

Very well Elise, looks like its my win for the bet.

Its amazing Josef, as expected of you. Well, what should we do with him?(TL: Lol the guys name was switched to Josef from here on make up your mind author.)

The boss isnt here now as well so lets just leave him alone. Well then as per the promise.

The man Josef forcefully planted his lips on Elises lips.

Your lips are mine.

Jeez Josef I thought that this time I would be able to snatch your lips.

Explode and die riajuu.(TL: Riajuu = a person who is successful or fulfilled in real life. Usually used by Otakus to exhibit their jealousy to someone who has a lover.)

At that point in time, I honestly felt that way.

Oh, right, Job Appraisal!

How do I use that? To test it out, I looked at the 2 of them.

Apprentice Swordsman: Lv23

Whip User: Lv15

Oh, I saw it.

Or rather, they are pretty strong.

As I looked at the 2 of them left, I heard another set of footsteps approaching.

Apprentice Spearman: Lv16

That is Ah, the gatekeeper Oneesan after all.

Oniisan from just now, are you okay? You seem to have some injuries.

Im fine, they are just some scratches.

Youre not fine. Here, drink this?

Is that, a potion?

According to Daijiros book, potions are medicine that can drastically improve the recovery speed of HP. Its slightly different from potions in games. Incidentally, I have 3 of them in my item bag.

Its just some cheap item. They are supplied products so I wont be bothered if you drink them. If I declare it as a consumption item they would resupply me.

Well then, Ill take you up to your offer.

The potion was extremely bitter but the pain from my shoulder wound certainly did subside for the most part.

Well then, I will patrol up to the 5th floor and return to the entrance after 3 hours. Oniisan, dont do anything rash.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Hmm, shes such a good kid.

Ill return for today and accumulate experience points by doing practice swings.

If I do 1 hours worth of practice swings, it would give me 400 hours worth of experience points.

As I walked, no other monsters appeared and I left the labyrinth.

Also, I have to visit Margaret-san to ask about the ways to maintain my equipment.

If thats the case, Ill go say my thanks and headed for the clothes shop.

Wait, I dont even have an inn to stay in. I wonder if there are any empty rooms.

Ill take the opportunity when Im asking about the equipment maintenance to ask Margaret-san if there are any good inns around.

Ara, what a coincidence. My shops 2nd and 3rd floor are boarding rooms. The rooms are empty so Ichi-kun can stay here.

So he even has boarding rooms We, well, the labyrinth is near here so Ill be imposing.

Fufufu, the negligee are at the back of the closet.

A crisis for my chastity, once again

Authors Note:

The novel has reached no. 6 in the daily ranking. All thanks to you all. Thank you.

Margarets character is so deep that she(?) makes me think that she(?) is the first heroine.
