THE PROPHET IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING AN ADVENTURER

I narrowed my eyes at the b.l.o.o.d.y aftermath in the forest.

「Ah… Was the magic I choose too strong?」

Basically, Prophet Magic depends on the words you lend so the wind blade wasn't supposed to be this powerful. 　But if I considered my skill to augment magic power, I might've been better off with another Prophet Magic. Since the blood of the magic beasts is composed of magic power it will simply turn into magic stones or become the fertilizer for the land, so its not a problem to scatter them. Nothing will change since they won't be covered by miasma.

(Still… This isn't a good sight to see.)

While thinking about that⸻

「ThThat attack was more powerful 　than the higher spirit's tornado!」

Dominic who's standing next to me shouted in surprise.

「Even a Rank B magician couldn't shoot such a strong magic instantly. I don't even remember that kind of magic from any of the Spirit Magicians… O-Otis-san, this magic… Where have you find a skillbook to learn this kind of magic?!」

Dominic asked me while trembling. That was certainly a strong magic, so it's natural to raise a question. Unfortunately, I haven't used a skill book to learn this magic⸺

「Maybe the magic of the present time has been an old magic. Though you only taught me the basics, I later had an idea. While I was trying many things, I heard some voice and learned it.」

I had too much free time after withdrawing to the Other World to heal my wounds and while I was there, I made some efforts to improve my Prophet Magic⸺and this is the result in my current magic. I acquired the basic magic skills of a Prophet by reading the books of an old prophet who died a long time ago collected by Elder Spirit. However, after I acquired the skills, I also made improvements.

「O-Otis-san is really amazing. Magic skills are usually learned and can be improved by the person himself, but Rank A adventurers barely do it⸺were you perhaps a master of this job cla.s.s?」

「No, I'm not a master or rather, I was just late in joining the guild.」

The act of memorizing and executing a magic after acquiring the magic skill is exceptional itself but if you have enough time like a few days of practicing it, then you'll be able to quickly execute the magic. It turned out like this because it took me a long time practicing this.

「Anyway, let's go. The request⸺isn't this a success?」

「Eh⸺Uh, yes. You're right, it's a huge success!」

While having a conversation with Dominic⸺

「Hey⸺!! Spirit Magicians!」

Behind us appeared a very huge man running from the open farm. It seems that he was also observing us from afar from the way he came down here and bowed to us.

「Thank you very much for helping our ranch and farm!」

「So you're the landowner? Khatisan said that you were the one who reported about the abnormality to the guild.」

「Yes. I asked both the guild and the school to deal with it. I really couldn't do anything about it.」

「So, you reported this into two places?」

「It's expensive but I think it's pretty more a.s.suring because we not only have a spirit but hordes of magic beasts here⸺it was horrible so having you here relieves us.」

The landowner was still talking to me when Dominic who's standing next to me sudden slumped down. He was about to fall to the ground, but before that⸺

「⸺Oops.」

I supported his body by lending him my shoulder. His footing wasn't good and wasn't aware of his surroundings that's probably why hebl

「Are you okay?」

If you look at him, his face is blue⸺a clear sign of fatigue.

「Ah, I'm sorry, Otis-san. It seems that I used too much magic power in the battle between the spirit and magic beasts.」

「Don't worry. Fatigue varies from person to person.」

However, its better we return to the city sooner or rest well for a while. While I was looking at Dominic's pale face⸻

「That's it! Everyone, would you like to eat our crops?」

「Crops? 」

「Yes! Its our specialty dish that has the ability to restore magical power, so I'd like you to eat some crops too!」

「Oh, so there's such kind of specialty?」

Speaking of crops, one of my apprentice who's knowledgeable with agriculture has written in a letter that he has created a crop that can restore magical power in Pioneer City. So, this is it?

「We'll surely want to eat some so we recover.」

Rnne and Dominic agreed with what I said. The landowner smiled happily at it.

「That's great! Everyone's tired so pleased follow me, my house is just around here. You can take a break there and enjoy some food!」

Everyone was then invited to the landowner's house to eat⸺an experience that had I'd never thought I would have after becoming a Spirit Magician and adventurer. Our first quest as an adventurer seemed to have succeeded very well but above all, it was quite satisfying.
