Lets be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~ 156

Lets Recommend the Ax to Van!

Next up is Maat

Pii!

After coming out of the feather necklace, Maat squinted as she puffed up her body.

Her attitude was like saying Its okay, increase them however you like.

Seeing her behavior made Haruki smile broadly.

After having to deal with that (self-proclaimed) princess, Maats attitude was very soothing.

Hmm

Even though he had the freedom to increase them however he wanted, Maats skills were so high already that there really nothing that needed to be increased at this time.

Haruki was also worried that by just raising whatever he felt like, he could upset Maats skill balance.

After thinking hard, Haruki made up his mind and tapped the Skill Board.

He increased a bit of everything, with a bit of focus on damage reduction.

Looking only at the average value of her skills, she was at the same level as Kagemitsu.

With this amount, there shouldnt be any problem even if he cant reallocate any more points to her until a few floors ahead.

At last, it happened.

The long-awaited vessel had finally reached their desired floor.

His ability was enough.

Nevertheless, instead of going straight to that floor, the vessel had continued to take detours.

It was a detour that they couldnt understand at all because they were only looking at the long-term goal.

At this rate, wed better off dragging him

No, no. The spirit is nearby.

But it looks as if the spirits guidance isnt working on him at all!

He really is a piece of work, huh?

But still, at last

At long last, we can

Complete the second stage.

Every one of them said that in unison.

This was a long-cherished desire for them.

It was a guide and a waypoint that would guide humankind.

This was biological, cultural, and technological.

It was an indispensable trial to get out of lifes deadlock.

Therefore, they had devoted themselves to this very day, and prepared the trial.

It was a test for those who had a vessel that reached the top

Their preparations were ready.

All that was left was for them to give the go-ahead.

They werent afraid that the one with the large vessel would actually fail.

They were simply fed up with waiting for him to overcome their trial.

O, true hero!

O, great hero!

Show us your power!

The power to become a hero

The power to become great!

If you do that, the path will surely open

Well, then

In a place where even the space was uncertain, which couldnt be found anywhere in this world

They solemnly announced the start of the trial.

Two days after entering the 19th floor, Van had finished collecting lumber.

He then returned the lumber he had unknowingly taken from Haruki.

At that time, Van also tried to return the ax, but Haruki wouldnt take it back.

You can keep using it for a while. Im not in a rush to sell it anyway.

Umm But

Also, if you fight with an ax, something good might come out of it, dont you think?

His main weapon was the greatsword, but for some reason, he was also proficient with an ax.

He also had a skill rating of 3, which was considerably high for an untrained skill.

That made Haruki think that maybe Van had a natural talent for using axes even better than greatswords.

His true aptitude might have been with the ax all this time. Whether he knew this or not, it was quite possible that Van had only picked up the greatsword because it was a convenient weapon for dungeon capture.

For that reason, Haruki suggested he kept the ax for a little while longer.

He was hoping that it would help Van overcome his obstacles.

There may be something you can see if you start using another weapon. Actually, when I was a student, I belonged to the track and field club, but I would practice a different sport once a week.

I also played baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton, and table tennis.

By practicing those sports, I managed to train both the muscles and the muscle memory that I couldnt have obtained by only practicing track and field in a well-balanced manner.

I see.

Thats why I thought  that maybe youd like to use that ax as your weapon for a bit.

This could sound like a plausible suggestion for the average person.

But from an adventurers point of view, not training ones main weapon in order to become more proficient with a sub-weapon was a bit far from the standard.

Adventurers entrusted their lives to their weapons. It wasnt a common thing to put down a weapon youve used for years and suddenly start using another.

However, Haruki couldnt really say what he actually meant, which was that he had seen Vans high Ax skill on his Skill Board.

So instead, he recommended Van to equip the ax in an indirect way.

Was it too reckless of me to try to talk an advanced adventurer into changing his main weapon?

As Haruki wondered about that

Got it. Ill give it a try.

He might have felt something in Harukis words.

Van looked at the ax, then pulled his chin as if he had bolstered his determination.

Haruki and Karen headed for the 19th floor joined by Van, who had equipped the ax instead of his usual greatsword.

Van was also planning to start exploring the dungeon from that day on.

(Well, then.)

Haruki and Karen would go separate ways with Van.

However, since they were going to fight on the same floor, it was likely that they could end up seeing each other fight.

There was a chance Van could end up seeing Karen use magic.

(Ive asked Van to keep quiet, but if he sees Karen using magic, I might have to ask him again just to be sure)

While imagining that time coming, Haruki stepped out of the gate and into the floor.

At that time

!?

?

Eh?

Without any warning, the scenery before Harukis eyes changed completely.
