I’m an Appraiser, But What the Heck is a [Divine Eye]? ~I Want to Live Freely as the World’s Best Beginner Class~ - Episode 294: The Hero, the Sword Saint, and the Appraiser 35

Episode 294: The Hero, the Sword Saint, and the Appraiser 35

——Magic tool: Laevateinn.

A magical device mimicking the fantasy trope of a magic sword associated with “fire”.

Naturally, it attacks by launching flames.  

The power of the flames varies depending on the amount of mana infused, and it’s also possible to fire multiple blasts.

The attack method I chose this time was――

“One-hit kill!”

“W-what is this power of the flames――!?”

A massive flame, about five meters tall, shot straight toward the enemy soldiers.  

I thought I heard someone shouting something. But I couldn’t make out the exact words. 

However, it didn’t matter to me at the moment. 

If I let my guard down for even a second, I might get killed instantly.

…Well, since I have a defensive magic tool that repelled Akagi’s attacks, I won’t go down that easily.  

“Still, I can’t afford to be careless… huh? What?”

I didn’t expect them to go down from just that… but there’s no counterattack?  

“Did I……….. maybe take them down?”

Due to the black smoke, I couldn’t see the enemy anymore.  

Did I mess up by choosing the wrong magic tool?  

“Oh! The black smoke is clearing up… wait, are they actually down? …Well, just in case, let’s Appraise them.”

If they ambush me when I get close, I won’t stand a chance.  

…Hmm? Looks like they’re unconscious after all.  

“That’s odd. I didn’t even pour that much mana into it.”

I studied a lot while creating the magic tools, especially about magic itself. But since this magic tool is used as a core attack method, I made this while consulting Leyreina-san.  

The mana used this time was about 50 units.  

Sure, the flames were larger than expected, but larger flames mean the power disperses.  

That’s why I was on guard, but… what’s going on here?

“…Wait! Arata! Sunny!”

“What?”

“Pika!?”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!? You two are way too close!!”

What the heck? How stealthy are you two, sneaking up so close without me noticing!?

“Well, when I turned around thinking it was over, you seemed deep in thought. So Sunny and I just waited.”

“Pika-pika!”

“…I-I see. Sorry about that.”

Apologizing to the two of them, I looked behind us to see the enemies they had been dealing with also lying on the ground.

“Let’s move to the upper level immediately. The previous fight probably gave away our intrusion.”

“…You’re right. Appraisal: Maria Shriden’s――”

——BOOOOOOOM!!!

“””——!?!”””

Hey, hey! Why is the ceiling suddenly collapsing!?

“Arataaaaaa!!”

“You! This is——tch!!“

——CLANGGG!!

Amidst the violent sound of clashing swords, Arata was sent flying. 

Someone immediately chased after him, and it was likely the student council president.  

Hearing the combat sounds, they must have noticed the intrusion and destroyed the floor to take the shortest route to us.  

In their judgment, Arata was likely considered the strongest among us.  

That’s why they went for a surprise attack to isolate him.  

Although completely separated from Arata now, should I follow him?  

The odds of victory are even……… 50-50.

“——Are you the intruders?”

“What!?”

…What? They appeared behind me, out of nowhere!?

“How did you——”

“Gravity Hole.”

——BOOM!

“Gah!?”

Why… isn’t the defensive magic tool… activating!?
