Chapter 218: CH.216 Another round at the Challenge Rooms

“So, who wants to be the first one to fight a challenge room?” I asked our group, when we reached the first floor challenge room.

“I do! I do!” Alice offered.

“Alice, why don’t you let someone else go first?” Christina was trying to hold her back, without directly saying no.

“But I can do it.” Alice insisted.

“Maybe we could use someone else to confirm that nothing abnormal is going on first.” I said, to add an excuse to have someone else go first. I don’t want to stop Alice either, but as Christina was against having her go first, I’ll add this as an option.

“Then should I do it?” Ria asked.

“Madam, Sir. I don’t mind either.” Cardo, our knight escort, offered.

“Brian. Why don’t you just do it?” Lua asked, and everyone turned to look at me.

 

“Yes. Brian should do it.” Alice instantly agreed.

“It would be interesting to see.” Ria said. “You never actually fight yourself.”

… yeah. There is a reason for that. I’m a summoner/support class, not a frontline fighter. Even if I at one point wanted to be.

“You can do it.” Lua said. “I know you can beat them, even without summoning.”

… That’s not fair. You can’t pressure me like that. Of course I want to try to show off in front of my girlfriend, especially if she asks for it.

“... fine. I can go first.”

Honestly speaking, I wasn’t afraid of dying. I have tons, two and a half tons, of HP. So even if I take some hits, I shouldn’t die. And we are on the first floor. Last time, the opponent was a group of five of the basic skeletons that roam this place, so it should be no problem. Even with my non-existent skills. And if all else fails, I can just rely on Hinotama or something else like that. Even if it hits me, I can tank 500 damage no problem.
