'rumble. rumble'

" Jen, we just ate a minute ago and your still hung- gubah!?"(Mark)

Without finishing his line, a fist was swung, leaving him keeling on the floor.

Without any light in her eyes, and an unamused face, her patience reached over the threshold and hit his stomach.

"Shut your trap, you prick!" (Jen)

'rumble, rumble'

Over seeing this familiar display of the two siblings was the commander who breathed out a sigh.

"Get ready' remember your roles. Kanaki, use the reconnaissance spell 'Fluid vision' to find out if there are monsters in front of us." (Captain)

Kanaki, a male member of the homeroom group, same age as Kenshin and also the same height of 160 cm but who had a tinge of brown skin and had dark brown bangs that divided in to two, was called out.

He was the 'Hero tracker' who was like a mixture of ranger and thief.

His skills mainly consisted of sensing ones.

Also like a ranger, he had a bow pared with a quiver of arrows on his back.

The skill 'Fluid vision' was a ocular magic.

It can see the movement of liquid in a visual range of 30 meters.

The range could be increased by putting in more mana to the spell.

"Okay, everyone get behind me. It might not read anything that don't contain any liquids but it will mess up my reading if you’re in front." (Kanaki)

As he said, the people in front of him stepped into the side to make way for his skill.

Sending magic power (mana) into his eyes that started emitting light particles,

"Fluid vision!"

he chanted the skill name only.

As if sucking in dust like a vacuum, his eyes sucked in the magic energy.

His eyes were now glowing white.

What he saw was a mass of grey light that was flowing inside an increasing amount of figures with different shapes and sizes

That was what things with liquid, like blood, looked like.

In his vision, this horde of shapes that were getting more and more bigger, headed towards the platoon.

With cold sweat creeping up his skin, he told the group

”There’s a lot monsters in front of us. From what I can see there’s fluid signatures like goblins, brutes, minotaurs, ogres and theres some other signatures that I haven’t seen before." (Kanaki)

With that, the platoon got ready without saying anything and just began moving in to their respective places.

They were tense but it was not because of fear but due to the excitement and adrenaline of fighting because of wanting to see if they became stronger after clearing lots of rooms of the dungeon.

The vanguard at the front consisted of ‘the royals’, while the mid-guard, who were behind them, consisted of students who were a mixture of long ranged professions that were equipped with bows, crossbows, staffs and other magic items like rings and bracelets. The Captain was in between the midguards and vanguards to oversee the platoon. The rest of the knights were placed in the back with Sensei and Kenshin.

Judging by the emitted light from the students who were in midguard, magic's were being cast.

Finally stepping into the glowing floor, the first monsters, goblins that were around 1 meter tall with green skin, hunched over and wearing leather loincloths armed with spears and rock slings, ran towards the group.

Running forward they readied their spears and slings loading it with fist sized rocks.

This was where the hero priestess of the homeroom group Chika, a girl in a miko priestesses dress and had kempt black hair that reached her mouth, began her role.

With both her hands stretched out and facing the goblins, she deployed a barrier using short cast.

”Material Barrier!” (Chika)

In that moment, a purple rectangle of about 10 metres with a width of 15 metres across.

A semi-transparent purple barrier was erected.

The barrier deflected the rocks and spears that were thrown at them, eventually piling up on the floor.

As the waves of projectiles were rendered useless by the barrier, the platoon began flinging their attack at the goblins.

‘schwaaf!’

‘Bagu!’

‘Boom, boom, boom, boom!’

Arrows riddled the goblins and the wave of magic skills from the mages knocked them about with their unending barrage of speeding balls made of water, ice, fire, earth, air passing through the purple barrier.

That was the good thing about the barrier as it allowed attacks from one side to pass through and it blocks attacks on the other.

After that, brutes carrying wooden clubs that were around three to four metres tall, stepped through the smoke made by the attacks earlier.

Their footsteps made slight tremors on the floor.

‘Baga, baga, baga, baga!’

”These attacks won’t cut it! Vanguard and the rest of the mid guard melee’s, form a defensive line! Don’t let heavy type monsters get closer to the barrier or it will break!” (Captain)

As he said, the unending barrage of magic skills weren’t potent enough to harm the brutes.

Running forward, Honoka with a right fist covered in red glow who had been buffed with a body lightening weight spell by Ami earlier jumped and soared through the air up to ten metres, where her jump reached its peak.

Then pulled by gravity, she plummeted towards the direction of the group of brutes.

Pulling back her right fist, the glow of red on her fist became brighter.

”Oooooooorrrrrrryyahhhhhhhhh!!!!” (Honoka)

Hitting the ground making cracks on the floor around her fist, the red glow transferred to the ground and like a wave travelled through the floor towards the direction of brutes.

There were around twenty brutes and when the red wave hit them, they all felt a jolt in their knees and lost their balance, eventually falling over.

What was invoked beforehand was the spell ‘tremor wave’.

Behind her, Arata finished the preparation of his skill.

Holding up his staff with a rainbow coloured gem, in front of it was a glowing white ball with 1 radius of 25 cm giving off intense heat.

‘pa!’

It shot off like a cannonball and flew towards the floor behind the brutes. When it hit, it released its contents, a moving wave of fire that scorched the other monsters behind the brutes.

What was activated was Arata’s skill ‘Flame raze’.

The next phase of the sequence of attacks started after that.

The melee group at the front went forward killing the brutes that tripped.

Swords, hammers, spears and axes were swung.

This was the pattern of attack they worked with.

Five minutes later…

What remained was black blood, scorched walls, monster parts here and there.

Some panting students were also there trying to catch their breath as they pushed themselves in the fray earlier.

What they encountered that was new other than monsters from the previous floor 50 above were Rock Golems that were unaffected by beginner magic, that Hachiro and the other melee types beat with their physical enhancing skills such as ‘superhuman strength’.

Some were giant lizards and some were mammoth sized rhinos.

After that they prepared to leave for the supply squad.

”Okay attention everyone! I will do the roll call and then we depart. So when you hear your name, answer quickly!” (Commander)

When the Captain was about to speak a “excuse me, sir!” was said by Mark.

”Sir, Ken-kuns not here!” (Mark)

”He’s not here? Shit, where did-“ (Captain)

A heap of monster loot in the row in the back suddenly stood up and….

”Ah. I'm here. I told you I wanted to bring these back right to give to my teachers right?”(Kenshin)

”………….oh yeah that’s right……..you were the heap of monster loot there……ahaha…….Must be getting old................................... Fuck my life.”(Mark)

'Facepalm' (Jen)

’.......' (Captain)

39th floor – supply point

After they returned to the supply point, they took a rest in the tents prepared by the knights beforehand.

They were all tired so they chose to sleep.

All except the high ranking knights who were discussing something in the big tent.

The morning after that the students were told to line up for morning announcement after they ate their breakfast.

After discussing something with all the knights, the Commander who was about 50 years old around the height of 190cm stood in front of the group.

Clearing his throat, he spoke.

“I know this was unscheduled and we were supposed to be departing after today, but, we’ve been talking and we have noticed that some of you are still quite….. Some of you don’t have the knack….. For fighting…. It maybe because we haven’t seen you perform or you didn’t get the chance to show us how you perform so, we’ve decided to give you the option to stay for the rest of the expedition to better improve yourselves with our guidance. If you choose to stay, we will use this floor up to the 50th. Raise your hand if you wanna go” (Commander)

After a moment, hands were raised in the group, most of whom the commander would have chosen to go even if they didn't volunteer.

"Good. Hm? Haruna-sensei? I’ve seen your summoning magic and even if it’s just fire bats at best, you’re still the only pperson I know that can summon 20.”

That’s right, Haruna sensei was a summoner, only able to summon intermediate type summons, and she’s currently the only one who can summon 20 fire bats - The old record of most fire bats summoneed is 15.

”I still need to practice more, and as a teacher even if it’s in another world, I'm still their teacher so I can’t leave them alone.” (Haruna)

”I see. You have an admirable quality Haruna-sensei. Okay, it is permitted. Everyone, listen up. Except the following names everyone will continue their journey to the supply group. First, the knights who will accompany those who are staying behind is, me, Mark and Jen. The people who wanted to stay behind are Haruna-sensei, Eri Inuzuka, Rei Yuki, Kari Kanji, Shiroe Ono, Touka Kita and Kenshin Hashimoto.” (Captain)

The rest of the knights who were guarding the supply point accompanied the students, royals’ included, that didn’t choose to stay.

So they departed from the others and exited the dungeon.

Seeing them depart, the Captain, Spencer Rays, looked at his group.

To the right was Mark, a spear wielding knight, equipped with steel plate armour, 193 cm with caucasian skin, hair with a tinge of dark blue and a playboy’s face. Level 51 and 25 years of age. Specializes in the spear as class (status) says.

Left of him was Jen, a axe wielding knight, equipped with armour that has some made of plate steel and some, of chain mail. Sized 190 cm with Caucasian skin, dark brown hair in a ponytail and had charming facial features such as her nose, mouth, crystal blue eyes and facial structure. Level 52 and also 25 years of age. Specializes in Axe as class (status) says.

These two joined the army and rose through the ranks together to knight. These two were twins of a commoner family, Foxrick, so they did not get a free pass like some nobles did to become a knight.

Lined up next to them was, Mirai Haruna aka Haruna sensei. Wearing a dark blue robe and a short cape. On her neck was a silver chained square pendant with a square sapphire gemstone. She stood at 159 cm with a shade of light brown skin, short black hair and quite an adorable face with big eyes. Level 12 and 22 years of age, she began teaching at twenty.

Next to her was Eri Inuzuka, Just finished turning 17 so is one of the youngest. She was wearing a Kyudo outfit with hakamma and keiko-gi. She stood at 172 cm with black hair that was kept up by a white headband.Her eyes opened just a little less compared to the others and added with her pale white skin, she seems like the cool samurai descendant type. Her personality was cheerful.

On her hand, her bow was there at a length of 221 cm with a quiver of arrows 103 cm in length. She got the palace tailor to make the kyudo outfit for her as she did Archery in school.

Incidentally Chika, the priestess, got her tailor to her miko outfit for her.

Behind her was Rei Yuki who was her best friend,

She was the Hero Hunter who had a habit of hiding behind Eri due to her shy nature. She stood at 169 with brown hair was tied up into a ponytail that made her show her scalp in the middle. She had a face that would look cute if she smiled more. Her overall outfit befitted a hunters with a bear head hooded cape. Her weapons was a small axe on her back and an arm mounted crossbow that had the ammo strapped on her back.

Kari Kanji was next in line. A girl of 190 cm with black hair and a slanted bang covering half her forehead. With a small face and white skin, she wore brown leather tights with a white t shirt. Strapped to her with a sling was an acoustic guitar.

Back in their original world, in the age of Kings and Queens, they would have lutes but because this world has magic, manufacturing it was made possible. Incidentally, Kari was part of a band.

With a wooden staff that twisted into two bands 20 cm into the tip and green robe was Shiroe Ono, the only other boy apart from Kenshin. He stood at 192 cm with a bishounens face with Slightly curled hair that reached his mouth that was shaded with a dark brown. Due to his height he was always asked to join the basketball team. His lack of stamina and interests were factors to why he refused.

And the only melee specialised the stay behind group was Touka Kita, equipped with a rapier and light leather armour. Her hair was split up into two, one in each side of hair and wrapping to the back of her hair. She had green eyes and a freckled face that were her good points.

Next to her was Kenshin who was wearing a black hooded cloak carrying monster loots like pelts. He could have just left it with the soldiers going out of the dungeon. But, he wanted to give it to his teachers.

They started their training expedition.
