An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 371: Training

 First, we explain to the Elves about the status and the existence of explorers.

 I only have proficiency, so I'll only tell them what's not offensive, and leave the rest to my party members. Because it will be an explanation without any real feeling at all.

 After the stats are explained, the first step is to have them fight monsters one by one in order to get used to the stats. First of all, I won't form a party because I want them to get used to it.

 Of course, it's the first time, but there's no problem at all, as Luck's Kagema are lurking nearby as support.

 We ask the Elves to choose their favorite items from among the numerous weapons and armor we picked up from treasure chests in the dungeon, and lend them to the Elves.

"Alright, let's have you fight one by one soon."

""Ooh~!!""

 After a while, I call out to the Elves who have finished preparing their equipment, and we start walking towards the monsters in the depths of the dungeon.

"Oh, that's a nostalgic Kobolin."

 The first thing that comes out is a BlackKobolin. It's a memorable monsters I fought after falling into a trap in the Shushima Dungeon that I dived into for the first time since I entered school.

 It was well-armed, and it looked black and strong, but contrary to expectations, it was just a Kobolin with a different color.

 When I see the monsters, I involuntarily feel nostalgic.

"King, hey, that monster looks too strong ..."

 I am immersed in my thoughts, and the Chief speaks to me with a strained smile.

"Nah, that monster is a weak monster, isn't it?"

"I, is that so?"

 When I answer the Chief, Sarion asks me again with a wry smile.

 It seems that he's scared because it's his first time in a dungeon. It seems like they've been trapped in the forest for hundreds of years, and it's been a long time since they've had a full-scale battle, so it can't be helped.

 Besides, Nanami was also terrified at first when she was hit by the monster's magical power. The Elves would be similar.

 In retrospect, the frightened Nanami was also cute.

 I can't help but laugh when I remember what Nanami looked like back then.

"Yes. So, don't worry and fight. Nanami will cast support magic, and if it gets dangerous, the Kagema will help you, so you'll be fine."

"If the King says so, then it's fine."

 When I reply with a smile, the Chief shows a slightly relieved expression.

 I won't let you die, so it's okay.

 At worst, as long as you don't die instantly, you can fully recover with an Elixir. I think you'll be fine as long as you don't overdo it.

"Yes, I won't let anyone die, so let's take it easy. Then, who will be first?"

 After muttering to reassure myself, I ask who will fight the Kobolin.

"It has to be me first."

 It is Sarion who immediately responds to my voice. He is the Captain of the security guard. In terms of combat power among the Elves, he should be quite strong as he was selected as a Captain.

"Is that so. It's certainly better to start with Sarion-san."

 With that in mind, it's only natural that Sarion will be the first to go and set an example for everyone.

"Umu. Well then, I'll go."

"Wait a minute. Nanami."

"Leave it to me!!"

 I stop Sarion-san who is going to the monster right away, and have Nanami cast enchantment magic. Since he's just gotten used to the movement of his body, she only uses buffs that have nothing to do with movement, such as increasing defense power and increasing attack power.

 Nanami quickly finishes casting the spells.

"With this you'll be fine."

"Alright. Then I'll go."

 There shouldn't be a problem because he's defended so well that I could be said to be overprotective.

"Understood. Luck."

"Won!"

 Sarion-san began to slowly move towards the Kobolin while hiding himself, so I attach one of Luck's Kagema as a precaution.

 We enter Luck's shadow and watch Sarion-san's activities from inside.

 Sarion-san's weapon is not a bow, which could be said to be synonymous with Elves, but a knife. It seems that for gathering and hunting they usually carry around a knife as a vanguard.

 Sarion-san slowly approaches the Kobolin while erasing his presence.

 As expected, thanks to his experience in combat and hunting, his stealth is so good that even the Kobolin doesn't notice him even when he's approached about ten meters away.

"Gugya gya!"

 The Kobolin also seems to be wandering around looking for prey. It slowly approaches where Sarion-san is hiding.

 9 meters, 8 meters, 7 meters, 6 meters, 5 meters.

 When the distance between the Kobolin and Sarion-san is less than 4 meters, Sarion-san jumps out from behind a rock and attacks the Kobolin.

-Kiin!

 Even though the Kobolin only barely managed it, it manages to defend against Sarion-san's attack.

 However, Sarion-san moves lightly and tries to get behind the Kobolin like an acrobat.

-Kiin!

-Kiin!

-Kiin!

 After that they have a stalemate after clashing many times.

 I wonder if E-rank monsters are overkill for the start.

-Baki!

"Gugya~h!!"

 However, while I am thinking about that, the Kobolin's weapon breaks and Sarion-san's knife hits the Kobolin directly.

"Haah!!"

 Sarion-san takes advantage of the opening and swings his knife.

"Guge!"

 Unable to resist, the Kobolin is killed by the attack.

"Haa ... Haa ..."

 It might have been a little strong of an opponent for the first match.

 But, in the end he won, so let's just say it's good.

 His level should have risen now, so there won't be any problems from now on.

"Sarion-san, thank you for your hard work."

"Y, yeah."

"Well then, should the others do it too."

"Th, that's right."

 When I talk to Sarion-san, who is breathing heavily after the battle, I get the feeling that the Elves are looking pale, but it's probably just my imagination.

 After that, I had them fight the monsters one by one. There were some dangerous ones, but thanks to the Kagema's support, everyone finished the first battle safely.
