Episode 184: The difference in talent is obvious

"Shia!!"

"Hmm."

While defeating the monsters that catch my eye, I help people who are about to be attacked by monsters, and when I arrived where Shia is, she is also helping another student.

There are no signs of the school officials who failed to escape anymore, and only monsters are overflowing from the dungeon, so it seems that it's over.

"It looks like it's okay now."

"Hmm. Everyone was saved in the area protected by Luck."

When I smile wryly, Shia nods with an expressionless expression.

Apparently, thanks to Luck keeping the enemy from escaping out of range, Shia was able to focus on helping the people who failed to escape without getting involved with unnecessary monsters, so it seems she was able to rescue everyone without any problems.

I told Luck not to be found out as much as possible, but since Shia knows Luck, it probably showed up for a moment and let her know that it was there.

It's an excellent subordinate as always.

"I see. Well then, why don't we handle the culprit and exterminate the monsters?"

"Hmm!!"

There is no longer any need to help Shia, and the area where the monsters are overflowing is protected by the Luck barrier, so after defeating the monsters coming out of the dungeon and annihilating the monsters within the area, the Stampede will be over.

When I ask Shia for her consent, she responds strongly with a feeling that her ahoge is full of motivation.

-Supapapapapapapaaan

-Supapapapapapapaaan

"This is worse than the time in the forest dungeon."

I mutter involuntarily at the sheer number of monsters as I annihilate them while heading towards the D-rank dungeon.

"Lots of experience."

"Hahahaa. That's right."

Then, Shia mutters softly.

For her, all monsters seem to be reduced to mere experience points and money.

I laugh out loud unintentionally.

I was able to use Qigong at the sea, so I was able to annihilate them in one shot, but that's not the case here. However, I want to be able to use Qigong in a small space little by little, so now is the perfect time to practice when no one is around.

"Okay, let's quickly annihilate them and join Nanami-tachi. Apparently, they've arrived at the Academy."

"Hmm."

I notice the signs of Nanami and the others entering the school, and after annihilating the monsters that are approaching in front of me, I exchange glances with Shia, while paying close attention, little by little, I wrap my body in Qigong.

This way, the amount of annihilation will rise dramatically, and the range of my attacks will increase.

Oh, that means I might be able to use my Qi to make the long-awaited attack.

I focus on my fist to execute the technique I envision.

As the energy quickly gathers and becomes concentrated, a thick energy gradually gathers around my fist such that it can be seen with the naked eye. Its color is pale and it exudes a mysterious atmosphere like a blue flame.

"Ha!!"

I shoot out the Qi that has accumulated to some extent.

-Papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapaaan

"Ha?"

As a result, something amazing happens.

A ball of blue air flies straight, swallowing and wiping out monsters in a straight line. The moment doesn't look like it will stop, and there's a sign that it might just go on forever.

However, it seems that my worries were unfounded, and when it erases the monsters to the point where I can see the entrance to the D-rank dungeon, it vanishes. Maybe it knew my thoughts and understood my will.

"What is that?"

Since the enemy disappears before her eyes, Shia asks me while tilting her head.

"I was able to do it with the image of making my energy cling to my fists."

"Hmm. I'll try."

At my simple explanation, Shia says she'll try it herself.

"Well then, since I defeated a lot of Shia's experience points, I'll follow you for a while."

"Hmm."

I decide to call this technique 'Qigong Wave', and because it defeated all the monsters in front of me, I decide to leave it to Shia for a while.

I think all I have to do is get rid of the monsters that get in the way while Shia uses Qigong.

"Hmm."

Shia steps forward from my side and chops up the monsters that come again. And before I knew it, her sword seems to be tinged with a dazzling white light.

Mu. Is that Qigong? After all, Shia, who has already mastered the hidden test, will be able to use it overwhelmingly easier than an explorer like me who is still working on the hidden test.

"Yaa!!"

And after swinging her sword around for a while, it seems that her sword is wrapped in a big light for a moment, and when she swings a lot, a slash that emits a dazzling light shoots forward.

-Supapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapaan

As a result, the monsters are divided into upper and lower bodies, about 100 to 200, although it wasn't a good as mine. The monsters disappear after a while.

"Huh ... Is this the difference in talent?"

"Hmm?"

Shia, who returns to my side, tilts her head at my muttering, but I shake my head saying it's nothing.

Thirty minutes after that, the monsters coming out of the D-rank dungeon stop, and in another thirty minutes, all the monsters within range were annihilated.

"Is this the end for now?"

"Perhaps."

I mutter after defeating a monster, and Shia nods.

-Dogoooooooooooooooooooooooooon

However, contrary to our feelings, a big explosion occurs at the F-rank dungeon.
