Chapter 531: Daghour

They decided to let them take a break as it would take some time for the adventurers to recover their bodies and minds after being beaten by Urus.h.i.+.

After this, a mock battle between Urus.h.i.+ and those who wished to partic.i.p.ate would be held. The goal was to show Urus.h.i.+s power not only to the lower-level adventurers but also to the higher-level adventurers.

It was a little off from the request of being an examiner, but it was fine since theyre also offered an extra reward and Urus.h.i.+ was looking motivated too. Well, it seems, it was also because Fran praised him earlier for doing a good job.

However, Fran was not tired at all and seemed to be bored. Perhaps realizing this, one of the adventurers approached Fran.

Im a C-ranked adventurer named Daghour. Fran-dono, would you be so kind as to let me have a match with you?

Fran then glanced at both of the Guild Masters, and they nodded rather happily.

Its fine. In fact, Id like you to blow all the onlookers away too

Understood, Ill do it then

Ooh! Im grateful! I know Im not going to be able to do much, but Ill do my best to not let you down!

It seems he was a warrior type. And that name too, this guy must be the one that had taught spear techniques to the adventurers from before. In fact, he looked quite skilled in using a spear. He possessed the Spear Saint Skill and Spear Saint Technique and his level of harpooning and throwing skills was also high. In addition, he had a strange skill called Water Draining. It seems to be a skill that weakened the opponents water resistance when an attack was launched into the water. Well, he was a lake specialist after all.

Well then, please take care of me!

Nn!

s.h.i.+yaa!

He unleashed a deadly attack right from the start. But Fran smiled as if she were enjoying it. Daghour too, he laughed excitedly.

Hahaha! Amazing!

Good shot

Then the fierce battle began. Although there was a difference between Daghours seriousness and Frans wait-and-see approach, both seem to be having fun.

There was also a scene that made me feel a chill at times. It was the shape of the spear that Daghour used. It had a large harpoon-like curve at the tip, so it could be used as a small sickle when pulled back after a thrust.

We had never seen this unique weapon movement style before, as he had tried to s.n.a.t.c.h Fran with it a few times already.

Interesting

Ooh! Its an honor to hear the Black Lightning Princess say so!

Then Daghour starts chanting while fighting. To be able to use magic while moving, this guy must be quite skilled! Although he hadnt reached B-rank yet due to his level, it seems he had been training his skills every day. His level of mastery was quite impressive.

Haaa! Aqua Create!

It was the simplest water magic that he used, but it was not foolproof in a high-speed battle. If it hits her in the face, her movements would be impeded, and she might even lose her footing.

Fran ducked this time, but Im sure it wasnt my imagination that she looked happier. Because it was a mock battle with a strong opponent.

(Master, put up a flame barrier)

Oioi, are you going to use flames to end this?

(Nn. He wont expect it to be used here. This is my payback)

Very well Haaa!

Uwooh!

Kyaa!

Gyaaa!

Fi-fire magic, in this kind of place Eh, its not hot?

The surrounding adventurers screamed and looked terrified as they were swallowed up by the veil of flames that spread quickly around Fran. Soon, however, they begin to be confused by the fact that it wasnt hot.

What I used was the Flame Barrier, a Fire Magic skill. This skill itself had no offensive power and was not hot to the touch.

Originally, it was a spell that enveloped the user to nullify flame attacks. However, with my current control power, I could transform this magic to cover this site completely.

Looking good. The Superiorized Magic Control skill is showing a good result!

Nn!

This was the result of Skill Superiorization, which had been a dead ability for a while. This skill transformed my magic control skill into a Special skill. This was also thanks to Announcer-sans advice.

When I was asleep, Fran had talked to Announcer-san about how to use the points and taught her how to enhance this skill.

Not only did it have the benefit of increasing my magic control more, but it also had the benefit of making it easier to reacquire my magic control if I trained my magic manipulation. Of course, Ive already reacquired the magic control as a shared skill in the Plains of the Demon Wolf. Well, I used my self-evolution points to raise the magic control level though, so Ive spent a lot of points.

I-impossible To be able to use such a skill! Youre also a first-rate magician, huh!? Ha, haha, I guess I had a problem with my eyes

It seems that the only person who understood this greatness was Grandma Jill, who was a genuine magician. It was no wonder she was so sober and her face was pale.

Ill end this now! Haaa!

No chanting huh!? d.a.m.n, this is!

Flare Impulse. Well, it was the skill that spread an explosive flame over a wide area. It was the higher-level magic of Burst Flame. It had less killing power, but with the addition of explosions and flashes of light, it had high crowd control power.

After the flames had cleared, there was no one standing on the site except Fran.

Even the Guild Masters were moaning while covered with soot.

Its overkill

But they also asked me to blow away the onlookers too

What they meant by that was for you to show them how strong you are though. Now then, I wonder if this all right

It would be enough to just show off her strength after all.

After that, we just went with the flow and took a break. The damage shouldnt have been too bad, but I guess, we overdid it.

It was also going to take a while for the partic.i.p.ants to recover from the shock of fighting Urus.h.i.+ as he broke their hearts again.

Uwaah, that was great magic

Yeah, I am impressed

Lovren, who was an onlooker, and Daghour, who was a partic.i.p.ant, seem perfectly fine. Along with a few other adventurers who are still fine, Fran was making small talk with them.

By showing her strength, she seemed to have been accepted at once.

But in the midst of it, an adventurer that seemed to be in a great hurry came running into the exam site.

This is a disaster! Anyone! Eh? What a mess!
