Well then can I eat something in return

[S-So that’s what happened… ..]

Speaking of mock duel with Zeon, Cruxie nodded with a complex expression.

He probably think i have caused trouble again.

[I wish you could calm down a bit about that]

[… ..The nobles are like a mass of pride, they will probably try to take you down one way or another]

Aria told me that.

Well Zeon certainly doesn’t seem like a guy to take it easy.

[Well… if I can make them focused on me instead of Cruxie, that would be fine… Sorry]

I wanted to say “Don’t worry”, but we are talking about Cruxie.

It’s probably useless.

So, I proposed something to him.

[Well then can i eat something in return. The first task was announced. Would you help me with that?]

[Ah, me too]

For graduation, it is necessary to complete the individual practical assignments issued for each student.

The difficulty of the task is from level 1 to level 10. To graduate, it is said that at least the task at level 8 must be completed.

Although the task from level 1 to 3 were issued, it seems that you do not necessarily have to do it in order.

If level 3 is completed, 1 and 2 are automatically cleared, and the next will be the assignment from level 4 to 6.

[Hey.. Lucas-kun’s this level 3 task, you can get the item called 【fire lizard scales】 if you go to the great Seland labyrinth]

The dungeon as usual huh?

[Salamanders living on the fifth floor, in the volcanic floor drop it. Aria-san’s level 3… ..is getting 【Ice Wolf Fur – Large】, dropped by the ice wolves]

Speaking of ice wolves, they are those monsters that appear on the ice and snow floor.

On the fourth floor.

[But, normal ice wolves don’t drop a big one, I think at least one of the pack leader class should be defeated]

[Anyway, if we go to that dungeon, we could complete the level 3 task right?]

I see.

[Yes that’s how it is]

I’m glad, both level 1 and level 2 are tasks requirements have lower risk, but it would take a long time.

If so, it would be faster to try level 3.

[What about you Cruxie?]

[Well, I have already passed to level 6, but… ..]

[Was there a problem?]

[… ..I think it was a bit risky]

Because we are a unit, we can help each other task. Especially with the help of Cruxie who has managed to reach level 6 by himself.

It will be something easy if it is level 3.

…… Of course, I don’t know what will happen in the dungeon, so it would be better not to be too optimistic.

***

Right now, we are on the fourth floor of the great Seland labyrinth.

[Grrrr!]

[Grrrraaa]

[Ohhhh !!]

A group of ice wolves attacked us at the same time.

Their number was more than twenty.

The groups we had found so far were five to six at best, but this time there’s quite a lot of them.

[Leave it to me! Crimson princess!]

When Aria swinged her red sword, the approaching wolves were engulfed in flames.

[Guhh!]

[Gahh!]

[Ohh!]

The beasts’ cries rang out.

For an ice wolf, flames are it’s biggest weakness.

While they were rolling on the snow to put out the fire, Cruxie and I finished them off.

[Grrrrrrrr!]

It was then.

A large ice wolf that was probably hiding in the shadow of the snow, went straight to Cruxie.

It’s probably the leader of the group.

[Woah !?]

Cruxie was pushed down.

But hand-to-hand combat, is his forte.

Taking advantage of that momentum, he kicked it hard to the stomach.

[Hi-Yah!]

The wolf leader then tried to bite into Cruxie’s throat, but he managed put some distance between them.

[Haaaaa!]

Then, Aria managed to slashed it and blood splattered on the snow.

Soon it’s body was engulfed in flames, still it doesn’t give up.

When it recovered and stepped away, the wolf leader tried to use it’s ice breath.

[I will not let you!]

I immediately rushed and managed to sneak to its flank to deliver a stab to it’s heart.

[Ohhhhhhhhhhh !!]

Raising a great cry, the dead wolf leader turned to ash.

Seeing that their leader was defeated, the wolves that could still move run away.

Ice wolves are relatively cowardly monsters, sometimes escaping when they discover that the hunt is about to fail.

[Are you two okay?]

[Yes, and you Cruxie?]

[Y-Yes, I don’t have any particular injuries. Although it was a bit surprised. More importantly, look!]

Cruxie pointed to the ashes of the wolf leader from earlier.

There was a silver fur between that.

[Wow! that’s definitely 【Ice Wolf Fur – Large】!]

It seems that with this Aria’s task is completed.

This dungeon changes its appearance a lot on each floor.

The first floor is the maze floor.

The second floor is the forest floor.

The third floor is the cave floor.

The fourth floor is the ice and snow floor.

The fifth floor is the volcanic floor.

This way.

But even on the same floor, its difficulty is not equal.

For example, the number and strength of the monsters, the problem of traps or the hostility of the environment.

There are irregularities depending on the place.

It is difficult to find a large ice wolf like that one near the entrance. We had to go in pretty deep.

[Let’s hurry to the safe zone. Around here, from time to time a snowstorm occurs]

[I would like to avoid that]

We walked through the thick snow and ice, finally reaching the safe zone.

It was inside a cave and it feels relatively warm.
