Chapter 52: Ch. 51 – Morning Training

Finally, it is the big day. First, a nice dungeon crawl to soothe the nerves, then the big world-changing speech. I hope my preparations were sufficient.

I join a party with Chloe, Geoffrey and Marca, then we enter the dungeon, just like every Thursday these past few weeks.

The first floor greets us with about a dozen level 1 baby slimes. Seems like everything is finally back to normal, the monster level matches the floor they are on and they no longer come in hundreds.

I can one-shot a baby slime with a regular spell, I've really made some progress.

The others don't have much trouble either with the monsters.

We fight some more through the floors with nothing noteworthy happening. Once I've spent over 1000 MP, I bring first Elly out, then switch to Maria when she has exhausted her SP.

We take a few breaks in between floors to regenerate resources, Geoffrey cooks some food for the others. Progress is slow but steady.

During one of those breaks, Elly has an interesting question, "Guys, I understand that magic users are important and it is rare that people here get born with caster classes. So I must ask, why does no one take the Magic Initiate class? It should be relatively easy to acquire for most people that have a bit more magic potential in them than Geoffrey. I found it yesterday while looking for something else. Here, let me show you."
