Exiled in a Class Trial for “Poor Dexterity”.

I was glowing, surrounded by so many of my friends.

“I never thought I’d be leveling up at a time like this. ……!

And the newly added occupation is “Earth Vein Master” ……!

An Earth Vein Master is a kind of magician, but they can’t use fancy magic.

There’s only one magic you can use, and that’s ‘dowsing’.

Dowsing is the magic of taking the power of the earth’s veins into the body through the soles of the feet and searching for something somewhere under the earth.

By watching the movement of a stick or pendulum in your hand, you can find out the direction of a water source or a mineral vein.

The activity is terribly unassuming, but don’t underestimate it.

It is said that some of the legendary treasures discovered in the past would not have been found without the power of this Earth Vein Master job.

Whatever it was, it was a profession I could really use for right now.

I no longer have to think about it.

“‘All right, let’s get on with the dowsing!

I think, for dowsing tree branches, the Habashiri branch is suitable.

And if you’re looking for more sources of water, it’s better with dead branches.”

Fortunately, there are plenty of tree branches in the forest.

I picked up a dead branch that had fallen under the Habashiri tree.

I place the branch in the palm of my hand and secure it around the front of my chest with the arms at sides.

This is the dowsing pose.

I closed my eyes and whispered softly.

“Spirits of the earth, …… lead me to where the waters are …….”

When I open my eyes with a click, the effect of the skill “Tree Dowsing” is activated.

The branch that I had been holding in my palm began to sway unsteadily like the needle of a directional magnet.

“If we walk in the direction of this branch, which is ……, then we can all go.”

I start to walk with a lot of animals in tow.

It was the beginning of a long, long journey.

Seven Days of Fire, Day 2.

No water was found.

Wandering in the vast forest and camping on the roof of a tree.

I felt as if the plants in the forest were not in good health.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◆

The Seven Days of Fire, Day 3.

No water was found.

The morning dew and the moisture from plants and fruits kept me from starving and drying out.

But I haven’t had a drop of water in my mouth.

The ones I found, I gave them all to the animals.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◆

The Seven Days of Fire, Day 4.

No water was found.

I got headaches and weakness.

I shook my status back, ready for an even longer run.

The ability to survive, and for the heart to not falter.

A sense for not missing the slightest clue.

“And this ‘Good Luck’: ……”

For the first time since I became ‘Poor Dexterity’, I tried to multiply points for the ‘Luck’ parameter.

However, I notice that only “Luck” can’t be assigned points no matter what I do.

“Why ……?”

Normally, I can let things slide with a simple “oh well”, but the dryness is driving me to frustration.

I almost started screaming, but I gave up on my ‘luck’.

Thanks to this, my mood and physical condition have completely recovered.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◆

The Seven Days of Fire, Day 5.

No water was found.

I thought the effect of dowsing would be stronger if I took off my shoes and went barefoot, so I did that.

We found several ponds that had been reclaimed.

I snapped the “It was a shame” sign with my knee.

Due to the lack of water, the plants in the forest were visibly wilting.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◆

Seven Days of Fire, Day 6.

No water was found.

I miraculously lasted nearly a week of activity without water.

If it had been a normal person, he would have been stuck long ago.

My mind and body are screaming with pain, but my appearance is no longer hopeless.

My clothes were black with dust.

My hair is disheveled and my skin is completely dull.

However, only the eyes did not lose their shine ……, I believe in that, and continue walking.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◆

The Seven Days of Fire, Day 7.

The entire school was gathered in a square in the middle of one of the residential areas that was still under lockdown.

On a special stage, there was a huge crystal plate like aurora borealis.

On top of it, there is a big sign.

“Let’s all watch the expulsion of the trash, the tragedy, the end of those who were trifled with by the principal and vice principal!”

On a special seat above the stage, Nekodran lounges around with a high and mighty attitude.

The yes-man was happily running all over the stage.

“Well, well, well. Today is finally the last day since we declared a state of emergency!

We’ll be celebrating that joy in the form of a big event!

And we’ll all see the end of the trash together!”

The crystal plate that was projected in a flash, there was Leopin covered in dust and sand.

With a thin tree branch in one hand and a thick tree branch as a walking stick, he staggered along.

It was as if we were wandering in a desert, even though the area was a forest full of greenery.

Some of the girls scream, as if their hearts have stopped.

Unable to stay, they tried to get out of the morning meeting, but were blocked by the SS and guards.

But only a few of the girls showed such defiance, and many of them were excited.

“Whoa, the trash guy looks like a refugee!”

“This is it, this is what I wanted to see!”

“Yeah, yeah, the dropouts from the ‘Special Training Class’ are there to entertain us by getting torn to shreds like that!”

Both Nekodran and Yesman are pleased with the positive response from the students.

“That trash is so stupid, he doesn’t even know where the water is!

If we don’t do something, he’ll die! Oh, you poor thing!

That idiot is going to die without ever finding anything!

Suddenly, Leopin, behind the crystal plate, started running as if he had been played.

The yes man points and laughs hysterically.

“He’s gone mad at last!

There’s no water in that area! I’m the one who ordered the contractors to reclaim it!

There is a …… that I have kept tightly hidden.

Kee…… keeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◆

I ran to the side as my dowsing stick was giving me the most powerful response ever.

Through a thicket of folded thorns, we cleared the rocks of a crumbling cliff and entered a cave at the far end of it.

It was a small cave, about the size of a small room, with light shining through the chipped ceiling.

I gasped at the pedestal, lit up like a spotlight, and the thing sitting on it.

“What, the treasure chest ……?”

Maybe it’s because I’m raising the parameters of my sensory system, but I suddenly felt like I heard this blanket statement.

‘How did you know that?

You’re never going to find it without a hint. ……!

No, you can’t open that! If you open it, we’ll get in trouble!

I didn’t hide it to give it to trash like you ～～～～～～!
