I ate a magical meal for breakfast and piloted the Muscle Dipper to the Adventurer's Guild.
As usual, I asked Caucasus and Belzebub to stay in the air and entered the guild building.
I picked up an appropriate C-rank request from the request board, and lined up at the "Order/Accomplishment Report/Material Purchase" counter.
What I'm going to do today, of course, is to test my hypothesis of how to rapidly train my divine power. ...... In doing so, I'll be killing some demons.
If that's the case, it would be better to kill the demons as a request and add a little to your rank up.
With that in mind, I dropped by the guild first.
In the morning, most of the orders are reported, so the line moves smoothly.
Soon after, it was my turn.
"I'd like to take this order.
"Yes, it's a request to kill Lesser Orthros. This request is certainly equivalent to C rank, but ...... in the habitat of Lesser Ortoloth, there are rare cases where Ortoloth equivalent to B rank appears. Please be careful and don't overdo it.
The receptionist said this while showing me a map of the Lesser Orthros' habitat.
Ortros, that's exciting.
To tell the truth, the stronger the enemy, the better it is for this hypothesis test.
Ortoloth is strong enough, but not so strong that the Awakened Caucasus would have a hard time with him.
I'd like to encounter it, but ...... says it's "rare", so I won't hold my breath.
After getting a signature from the receptionist on the request form, I left the guild.
Then I called up the Myotidium and set off for my destination.
.
A few minutes later, we were halfway up the mountain.
We used our detection magic to locate Lesser Orthros.
You're at .......
When I used the detection magic, ...... I was lucky enough to catch not only several Lesser Orthros, but also one Orthros.
Apparently, the heavens are on my side when it comes to testing my hypothesis.
Well, I guess Artemis is always on my side, but that's not the point.
With that joke running through my head, I raised the altitude of the myotome cloud again.
There's no need to fight them head on, you know.
All I had to do was let the Caucasus attack from above and watch the moment.
With that in mind, I directed the myotrope towards the location of Ortolos and ...... soon came within sight of him.
"Caucasus, can you take that thing down?
I pointed at Ortolos.
"Yeah.
The Caucasus replied lightly, ...... and fired a powerful plasma bullet from its horn to attack Orthros.
In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, it's possible you'll be able to find a great deal more information on the web.
...... At that moment.
I focused all my attention on the divine power circuitry in my body that Artemis had created for me.
Then, ...... I could perceive that the amount of divine power flowing through my body had increased and the speed of the divine power flow had also increased.
I did it!
I gut-punched.
Just as I had hypothesized, I had successfully used the Caucasus' combat experience to train my divine power.
When Caucasus defeats a demon, I will receive a share of Caucasus's growth value. ...... Specifically, "what grows" has nothing to do with how Caucasus defeats the demon.
In fact, up until now, if you wanted to train your strength with your share, your muscle strength and lung capacity would increase, if you wanted to train your magic with your share, your magic power would increase, and so on.
If this is the case, then if you are conscious of "training your divine power with your share," you can allocate your growth to your divine power.
That's what I hypothesized and tested. ...... It seems I was right.
This means that if I can get Caucasus to kill a lot of powerful demons, I can train my divine power at once.
With this in mind, I decided to go to ...... and kill Lesser Orthros in order to fulfill my request.
After defeating six Lesser Orthros, we decided to leave in the afternoon and return to the city.
Of course, we used all of our share of growth from the Caucasian battle experience to train our divine powers.
Perhaps because I returned early, the guild was empty.
I entered the guild without waiting in line to report the accomplishment of my request.
"I'm here to report the accomplishment of a request.
"Yes! "Yes! A request to defeat Lesser Ortoloth! Please submit the proof of defeat.
The person who answered was the same receptionist as when I received the order.
I didn't think I'd be able to get through with a face pass without showing a copy of the request form. ...... I guess that's one of the few advantages of standing out as a "wise man".
I'm not sure what to make of this.
"The whole ......? Well, I don't mind.
I have a huge storage space from a previous life that is a byproduct of a storage magic accident.
I'm not going to go to the trouble of just cutting off the part of the body I'm going to kill and going home.
In any case, the other parts would be valuable as materials.
Now that I've gotten the receptionist's permission, let's get to work.
I was about to do so, but almost ...... stopped myself.
You know, ...... there's not enough room for six Lesser Orthros here, is there?
Yes.
There's nowhere to put them.
So I thought I'd talk to him about it, and I asked him that. ......
You've killed six of them? How in the world did you manage to kill that many in such a short time?
The receptionist was surprised by the number of monsters I killed.
The low density of the guild's population was compounded by the sound of shouting.
After a while, the receptionist regained her composure and said.
I'm sorry, I'm so upset. That's right, you're an elite student of the Sage, you can't be measured by common sense. ....... I'll show you to the dismantling area, please follow me.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
......? In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at our own web site.
...... I think I heard the receptionist talking to herself, but I don't care.
The receptionist leads me into the dismantling area, and I take out the six Lesser Orthros from the storage spell.
Incidentally, I decided not to take out the Orthros, since they are monsters that exceed my current rank, and they would be a good material for a deal with Kirin.
As soon as I put down the Lesser Orthros, the staff immediately checked its condition and decided on the purchase price as a material.
After the confirmation, the receptionist and I returned to the counter.
I never thought I'd see a scene like that again. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.
The receptionist looked tired and placed a bag of gold coins on the counter.
Thank you.
I took it and left the guild.
I took it and left the guild. "Now, let's get to work on my divine powers.
As soon as I left the guild, I hopped on a muscle dungeon and began to head for my next destination.
...... Actually, there's a reason why I left early today.
The reason is that the efficiency of killing per hour is not worth it.
Our results for the day, from morning until late afternoon.
The results were rather subtle: one Ortoloth and six Lesser Ortoloths.
That was the limit, even with full use of detection magic and the Myotokumo.
In terms of accomplishing the request, it may have been a good pace, but the amount of kills was not enough to become strong in the limited time of ......10 days.
So I need to go to places where I can hunt demons more efficiently.
For example, in the ...... dungeon.
I had to go there at least once before the end of the semester for a grade anyway.
