53 Episode 7 C-rated Quest




 I completed seven quests, and the next day, Eleanor-san gave me a

''Now let's finish the next five or so C-ranked quests! Then we can offer you a B-ranked quest!

 After being told that, a number of request forms were laid out on the table.
 At the top right corner of the request form is written 【recommended rank: C】.

 I read through the request forms arranged in a row.

 Most of the quests with rank C were requests to kill monsters.


''Defeat five giant slimes, from the village of Helimia?


 The village of Helimia is located a short distance from Freypara.
 A giant slime has appeared on the plains near the village and you are asked to kill it.
 The giant slime is a C-ranked monster.
 This request is certainly something that should be recommended for C-ranked adventurers.


''It's a two-hour ride to Helimia Village by carriage. It'll take a bit of time, so I don't think we'll be able to finish it all at once like we did with D-ranked monsters, but let's do our best to keep going!

''It's a two-hour carriage ride. ...... Then I think I can complete another quest today, since I'm not going in a carriage.

Are you going to make those decisions at ............?


 Eleanor-san seems confused .
 Oh, I was flippantly pushing the quest yesterday: .......


''It's not that long of a trip, so there doesn't seem to be any need to ride in a carriage, and running would be more of a training exercise.

'Well, um, ...... are you worried about your fitness or something?'

''Yes . I haven't been working out much in terms of strength, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to work out.


 As an adventurer, moving around was a necessity when completing quests .
 The reason why I hadn't trained my physical strength until now was in anticipation of this.
 But I ran out of energy and failed my quest! Nothing.
 I've thought of various countermeasures to compensate for that.
 Well, I don't think you'll run out of energy, but still.


Your ideas are so far removed from those of other adventurers, Revel-san: ......

Oh, yeah? ......?

But if you can do your quests well and work fast, I don't have anything to say about it. In fact, I'd rather learn from your stoicism.

"Of course not. Thanks to Eleanor's help. Well, I'll be on my way.

'Yes! Go for it!

 In the guild where Revel was gone, Eleanor was doing the paperwork for the quest that Revel had accepted.

Good job, Eleanor-san.

 It was Ral who came before Eleanor.

'Oh, Ral-san! Good work!

I saw that report. Did that Revel guy finish seven quests in one day?

 Lal spoke to the older Eleanor in a slightly broken tone.
 That's because Lal is superior to Eleanor in terms of position.
 The two of them understand that, and naturally proceed with the conversation.

''Well, I just accepted a C-ranked quest and left the guild. ...... It's also going to run without a carriage. ......

Quite the Revel: ....... It's something that really doesn't make sense to me.


 Lal laughed and put his head in his hands.
 And then he remembered all the crazy things Revell had done.

 He used his magic power depletion to make an effort that no one else could make.
 Making salt and acquiring the Item Box.
 Winning the Frapara Rookie of the Year competition.

 Ral was getting used to the extraordinary reality of Revel's situation.

''I'm already feeling that Rivel-san is already as good as an S-ranked adventurer when it comes to skill alone.

...... I knew it? That's why you've been assigned to a B-rank, which has never been done before, right?

''And I'm sure he's still going to be strong. Mr. Revell doesn't have any pride at all when it comes to having that kind of strength in his hands.

Oh, yeah, maybe. I hear Revell is going after the best in the world.

The world's strongest ......? Maybe Mr. Revell-san can become one.

...... It's not as convincing as you say, Eleanor.

''No, no, that's not true. It's already pretty dull, and even back then I think Revel-san is far more skilled than you.

''Well, I'll stop trying to get to the bottom of it for now. Anyway, it was a good decision to leave Eleanor-san as the guild's receptionist. Please support us all.

Yes, I'll take care of it!

 I had some idea of how I was going to get to Helimia Village .
 Of course, to shorten the trip to Helimere, it was better to take the shortest distance rather than run all the way.

 So I'll get that skill, by the way.



 ──────────────────── .

 Skill《Useful gait》.
 It will be possible to fly through the air by kicking the air with magic power.



 Method of acquisition
 A thin film is formed by circulating magic power around the sole of the foot, which is absorbed when walking.

 ──────────────────── .



 Since he's skilled at handling magic, I think he'll be able to get it fairly quickly.

 As for how to obtain it, first let the magic circulate in the sole of your foot.
 This could be substituted with the "magic circulation".

 Then, a thin film would be formed-yes, perfect.

 Now all we have to do is let the air absorb this thin magical film.

 I jumped and tried to walk through the air.


 ...... but it's not going to be easy.
 I couldn't walk through the air, and I landed on the ground.

 This sucking part is a little tricky.

 It took me a few tries to get the hang of it.
 Jump, jump, jump.

 In the meantime, the people coming out of the flappera, mostly adventurers, were saying, "What the hell is that guy ......? But after 15 minutes of practice, I found out that I was not the only one.

 But after 15 minutes of practice.


 I have acquired the gift of gait.


 Successfully retrieved, I managed to walk in the sky.

Oh ...... really walking in the sky ...... is a strange feeling.

 It's not like walking on the ground.
 You can't kick the ground, so it's going to be tricky to get around.



...... A-ha! Isn't that guy walking in the sky?

Oh, come on, people can't walk the streets, for real!


 Oh, the people around me are confused.
 It would have been nice to get some white stares, but confusing them would have been annoying.
 I should've practiced out of sight.

 I landed on the ground and bowed to the people who were standing still.

 Then I decided to use the Soroptimist to cross the forest, which was the shortest way to get there, so I built up some magic in my legs and used the Body Strengthening Technique to run away from here towards Helimia village.
