Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades

“I’ve never been outside of a town before.”

“Uhhhh …… D-Don’t worry …… Lars-kun will protect you ……”

“Hahaha, I’ll protect you so be at ease, girls!”

So, we got out of town. It was the same place where I had come out with Mizuki-san before, a wide open meadow.

“The slime will know your location by your feet and the vibrations on the ground, so don’t approach it carelessly, okay?”

“As expected of Lars-kun. You remembered! That’s right, if you get too close, the slime will notice you. That’s why you have to jump and crush it at once. They are vulnerable to attacks from above.”

“Yes!”

“I understand!”

“I think I’ll use magic from afar to cover you?”

As we were talking, a pink slime jumped out from behind the grass. Right after that, Makina and Kudelica come around to my back.

“…… No, it’s fine, but ……”

“Your example …… Yeah, I’d like to see your example.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Hmm, shall I do it then?”

Mizuki-san will pull out her sword and say, this is my request, or rather our request. It’s best not to get as much help as possible.

“No, please let me do this. I’d appreciate it if you could help me if I’m in danger!”

“Really? Well, I’ll just watch.”

“Whew ……”

I let out a breath and then turn my attention to the slime. Now, since I can’t use levitation to fly, I think magic is the way to go here. But since I’ve already trained in magic with Verna-sensei, I’d rather fight with my sword and use it as feed for my [Jack-of-all-Trades].

“Okay …… Oh, that’s right ……”

“What’s wrong, Lars-kun?”

“Oh, no, I only have a wooden sword ……”

“I’ll lend you one of mine. I’m excited.”

“…… Thanks.”

I can see my face turning red as I feel embarrassed for not having a sword and being so enthusiastic. In the meantime, Makina lent me an iron sword, which I easily pulled out of its scabbard and readied. The distance is three meters …… I’ve already confirmed that the direction of travel is not this way.

“……!”

I close the distance and jump! The slime noticed me from the sound of my footsteps, but I was already in the air. I land on the ground and slashes my sword.

Bjuru ……

The slime made an unpleasant noise and disappeared, leaving the core behind as if it were seeping into the ground. I picked up the core and wiped my sweat off as I walked back to the others.

“Whew …… it worked. This is how you beat it.”

“Eh, heh~, I think even I can do that!”

“I, I wonder if I can do it ……”

“Well, everyone fails the first time. You might get your clothes burned off, but don’t worry, we’ll get you out before it kills you.”

“Mizuki-san …… Ah, yes! I’ll do my best!”

Inspired by her admirer Mizuki-san, Kudelica took a step forward. In her hand, she held a short sword, shorter than the one that Makina was holding. The blade was clean, but the hilt and other parts were quite old. Is it her father’s old sword?

As I was thinking that, Kudelica spotted the slime and started to charge. And–

“Toh!”

(T/N: She jumps here.)

“Whoa!”

“H-Huh?”

…… too low! Her jump was too low and she landed right in front of the slime. At that moment, the slime’s color changed and it began to tremble. Is that a signal to attack!?

“Kuderica! Stab it just like that!”

“What? Ah! Yeah!”

Psssrrr. …… Clunk ……

“I, I did it!”

“It was a little dangerous, but you had the basic idea of approaching the slime at once and defeating it, so it should be fine. There is a pause between the color change and the attack. If you think it’s impossible, just avoid it and start over.”

“Ah, yes! Thank you very much!”

After Mizuki-san gave her advice, Kuderica bowed deeply and thanked her. If you are not conceited, the experience of success leads to confidence, which is good. However, I have an idea for Kudelica to try one thing after the jump she just made.

I’ll save that for later, and next–

“Fuu-! Fuu-!”

“Makina, you’re putting in too much effort …… aren’t you supposed to be training at the Holy Knight Club?”

“…… We don’t play against each other because it’s basically a fitness thing for new students ……. So I’ve never fought a monster in my life ……”

When I soothed Makina, who was breathing hard and making swirls in her eyes, she said that with her mouth agape. She was easily defeated by Nora, so I decided to advise Makina that she might not have any real experience. 

“Mizuki’s quick on her feet, so you might be able to go quickly and cut it off in a snap? The only reason you have to jump to get closer is because they’ll notice you while you’re closing the distance, but I think Makina can get in front of it before it notices you.”

“I see …… Maybe I can do that ……”

She held her sword in one hand and struck a pose that looked like the start of a marathon.

“…… Can I get a signal from you?”

“Haha, sure …… Go!”

Zoom!

Makina runs off as if on cue. As I suspected, she was able to close the gap between them at once. 

“That’s great! Go!”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaa!”

*Slip* ……

” “Ah!?” “

My voice and Kudelica’s were in sync. Because Makina was so close, and she tripped over herself. Her body then throws into the air and Makina drops the sword. 

“Yaaaaaaaaaah! [Kaiser Knuckle]”

“Fist!?”

Splats!

Bjurururururu ……

“Nooooooooo!?”

She thrusts her fist at the slime, and the moment she makes contact, the slime explodes. If you cut it with a sword, you can cut it quickly, but with your fist, it will be “smashed” under the impact, and it will fly apart. 

“A-Are you alright, Makina!”

“Makina-chan!”

“Ughhhhh …… disgusting ……”

“Hahaha, that’s also experience …… Here, it’s its core. This is the slime you killed.”

Mizuki smiled and handed the core to the gooey Makina. And then…

“I did it …… I did it!”

She was so happy that she didn’t mind getting dirty with a big smile on her face.

With this, If she doesn’t get carried away, she’ll make a good knight, I thought, as we defeat a few slimes for our request and returned home.

“……Ryuuze-kun, I wonder what he’s doing ……”

“I don’t know. But it was yesterday. I think it’s about that, isn’t it?”

“I-I wonder if it’s okay …… to do something like this. We should tell Lars-kun ……”

“You’re an idiot. If you do that, he’ll know we were listening in on him. We should grab something and make him owe us one …… Of course, a friend is supposed to help!”

“I don’t know about that …… Oh, look, Sister!”

As Luciel and Luciela followed him, they saw him hiding in a place. Then, seeing a figure entering the building, Luciel muttered.

“…… That is, Ryuuze-kun’s father?”

“That’s a hospital, isn’t it? I wonder if he’s sick or something?”

After a while, Brao came out of the hospital with a big smile on his face, and Ryuuze followed him again. He had been following his father for a long time.

The chase ended when both father and son walked straight back to their mansion, and Luciela opened her mouth, folding her hands behind her head.

“Ohhhh, nothing happened. Some kind of secret meeting in a secret warehouse. I was expecting something like that.”

“If nothing happened, that’s good by itself. Ryuuze-kun might have still not done anything about yesterday.”

“That’s true! So it’s possible that Ryuuze is investigating on his own. More research!”

“I wonder if it’s gonna be okay ……”

Luciel couldn’t hide her uneasiness at seeing her sister so excited.

The distance is getting closer and closer. The key word is “teacher”, right! Please look forward to it!

Thank you for reading!

“So that’s how it is. I can fake it with this ……”

So that’s it. Now, I wonder when will he appear?

“It’s hard making progress since I’m living at the academy at the same time …… I’m so frustrated!”

You are!?
