The western part of Purin Kingdom.

Wastelands with so little greenery stretched as far as the eye could see. Three suspicious-looking shadows could be seen moving through such wastelands, they were team Tanaka.

Although he was at first a little aversed with the idea of venturing through the wastelands due to its drastic difference in nature compared to the rich mountainous area around the border, Tanaka was a man of a strong will and a tenacious spirit. Thus he chose to continue to press forward.

So hot~ Looks like we should have stayed in some town along the way and waited for the climate to cool down somewhat.

In the dry, sweltering heat unique to inland areas, Tanaka was trudging on while grumbling. The enthusiasm he had back when he vowed to make a fresh start in the Purin Kingdom was already nowhere to be seen. He was truly a man of swift mind.

Thatd be troubling. Well, Im a spirit, so the heat doesnt really matter to me all that much, though.

Kaku-san boasted in his signature side-chest pose. In such a sweltering air, Tanaka felt as though the temperature had suddenly increased by five degrees.

I dont mind the heat much either-degozaru.

Compared to you, Tanaka-dono, I still have a long way to go-degozaru.

While enjoying the ice, the energized Tanaka praised Suke-sans magic. In fact, Suke-sans magic skill had already improved to the point where he could be called a top-notch magician. However, as the two of them were completely oblivious of such a fact, they were simply chatting jovially. Only Kaku-san, who possessed extensive experience and knowledge pertaining to magic, was aware of how absurd the power possessed by his comrades was.

What a terrifying waste of talent Oh well, whatever. By the way, what about our training?

Lets see Lets get to it, then.

Team Tanaka, even in the middle of their journey, had never failed to hunt monsters should the opportunity arise, as well as to spend half of the day time conducting their respective training.

The fact that he was able to persist with his training despite his low spirits showed how deep the Afro incident had cut into his heart. However, even with the injuries on his spirit, while entertaining the thoughts such as The me lurking in the shadow might actually be cool as the nourishment of his future popularity, Tanaka continued to stay positive and moved toward tomorrow with his head held high. The day when this devious plan of his made its move to deceive the will of the world and even overturned the law of causality itself might be just around the corner Well, there was no way to be the case, huh.

At any rate, team Tanaka proceeded with their daily training regimens. And then, speaking of Tanakas training, he was receiving guidance from Kaku-san about how to master Grand Magic, which he had somehow obtained before he even noticed it

Grand magic was a high-level skill that normally could only be performed by the administrators of the world, Gods and spirits. However, there had been a few precedents where heroes or high priests managed to learn it as an acquired skill. And then, in their case of performing Grand Magic, the theory was that they had to begin with performing a magic ritual in order to accumulate a large amount of magical energy.

However, in Tanakas case, while the reason might be unknown, he was capable of drawing out a large amount of magical energy off hand to begin with, thus he came to the conclusion that performing such a ritual was unnecessary for him. It definitely wasnt because he found performing such a thing was too much of a trouble that Tanaka decided to omit it There was no way for Tanaka, the cool protagonist who spared no efforts in his endeavor, to ever entertain such a thought.

And then, the next step was to focus on controlling the magical energy. Tanaka, who had tirelessly trodden the path of magic control since days ago, had been training in nothing but it for a while now in order to perform Grand Magic.
