-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A party of swordsmen and mages.
The swordsman can protect the mage and archer if the enemy is visible.
Even if they can block attacks that come close to their body with their excellent senses.
They can't cover invisible attacks that hit others.
Of course, it would be possible if the swordsman's skills and senses were outstanding.
But that doesn't apply to the dungeon exploration club.
In that situation.
The most important thing is the healer's role.
Getting hit and axed is inevitable.
The most important point is how quickly they can heal them and make them a valuable asset again.
And Luna Puery perfectly fulfilled that role.
Even while dashing through the invisible goblins, Davian didn't forget to check on the club members.
Because the achievement point requirement is that everyone survives.
Each time, Davian's attention was drawn to Luna's healing magic.
Of course, Karin, who was angry after getting hit a few times, unleashed a terrifying area magic.
But that's something other senior mages could do too.
But Luna's healing was different.
The dungeon exploration club's only healer and 3rd year senior approached Luna.
"Hey, are you really a freshman? You were amazing!"
The image of her spreading her arms to the left and right to simultaneously heal two lacerations and fractures was nowhere to be seen.
Luna, who had returned to being a shy girl, lowered her head.
"Oh... no. I just practiced a lot because I wanted to become a great healer..."
"Don't be so modest! I can't say I'm the best in the 3rd year. But you're on a completely different level than me! Amazing. I was so surprised."
"Thank you..."
In the meantime.
Swish.
Swish.
The second monster wave began.
"Kyaa! What is that!"
"It's a Serpens!"
Dozens of giant snakes crawled out of the darkness.
Vice President Nabero raised both hands high and created a large fireball.
"Everyone attack! Now! If they start spewing poisonous mist from their mouths, we're all dead!"
Green snake Serpens.
Spews poisonous mist like Catoblepas.
A deadly poison that burns the lungs if inhaled even a little.
Davian shouted.
"Everyone stand close together! As close as possible!"
Ariel, who was always the first to run out.
Quietly followed Davian's words.
The other club members also began to stick close to each other following Davian's words.
When thirteen people were pressed together without any space.
"Luna! Detoxification magic!"
"Okay!"
Luna's detoxification magic surrounded the club members.
"Absolutely do not go outside this blue semicircle. Especially your face!"
"Okay!"
A large fireball was created in Davian's raised hands.
Being close together restricted movement.
But.
It was enough to send a fireball flying.
Boom!
Bang!
Tting.
=====
[B-grade Monster Wave in Progress]
―Serpens Eliminated: +50P (x2)
―Serpens Eliminated: +50P (x2)
=====
Slash.
Davian slashed down the last minotaur.
Ariel stared at Davian with dazed eyes.
'What the heck...'
Already the eighth monster wave.
Davian handled most of the monsters alone.
Monster corpses piled up like mountains everywhere in the empty space.
The situation is different from when they blocked the C-grade monster wave in the first semester.
The minotaurs that are now pouring out in droves are boss monsters guarding the E-grade dungeon.
Even though those guys came out in droves, Davian didn't even blink an eye and slashed and roasted them.
'He was strong back then. But now he's ridiculously stronger.'
What surprised Ariel was not only Davian's skill.
'He becomes a completely different person when the monster wave starts.'
Other times, he's just a very polite and calm junior.
But when the monster wave starts, he becomes a bloodthirsty maniac.
'Did he lose his family to monsters?'
If so, that somewhat explains that terrifying appearance.
But.
That appearance is clearly abnormal.
It's like he's thrashing around to keep even one monster from being taken by someone else.
Sometimes it was even terrifying.
'If he becomes a madman... Could our entire club even handle one of him?'
Ariel was starting to fear Davian.
In the meantime.
The ninth wave began.
"It's a Cockatrice!"
"Be careful not to get touched by its beak!"
"You'll die if you get pecked even once!"
Giant chickens began to rush out of the darkness.
A monster in the shape of a chicken as big as a human, Cockatrice.
It doesn't have high defense, nor does it have tremendous attack speed.
However.
The creature that is pecked by that large beak turns to stone and hardens.
Healing magic is useless.
Ariel shouted with a nervous expression.
"Get in formation! Swordsmen, absolutely prevent them from getting close!"
The Cockatrice's attack speed is nothing special.
But that's compared to other B-grade monsters.
Mages or archers cannot avoid the Cockatrice's attack.
Even swordsmen can get grazed by the beak attack if they are careless or surrounded by Cockatrices.
Then it's instant death.
'Damn it! This wave is too dangerous!'
While Ariel was nervously counting the number of Cockatrices rushing in from afar.
She heard Davian muttering next to her.
"Festival of Fire."
Whoosh.
A fireball the size of a human head appeared on Davian's hand.
As he flicked his hand to send the fireball flying.
Whoosh!
An ordinary fireball turned into a giant curtain of fire and began to surround the Cockatrices.
Everyone's eyes widened.
But the most surprised was Karin Obelia.
'What... what is that?'
An unbelievable thing was happening before Karin's eyes.
A giant curtain of fire that was alive and moving.
Like an army besieging the enemy.
Like a pack of wolves hunting a deer.
The curtain of fire completely surrounded the Cockatrices and was circling and narrowing the encirclement.
'I've never even heard of this!'
It completely deviates from the magical knowledge she has learned in the royal magic department for over ten years.
'What on earth is his identity... Davian Naone.'
After all the Cockatrices were burned away.
Whoosh.
A gust of wind blew.
"It's over!"
"The monster wave is over!"
"We survived the B-grade monster wave!"
Ariel put her hand on Davian's shoulder.
"Fortunately, the wave wasn't too long."
"I guess so. It's a shame."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Ariel's hand, which had been on Davian's shoulder, naturally came down.
'A shame...?'
Tting.

[B-grade Monster Wave Ended]
―Reward: 39K Mana Points (x2)
=====
Tting.

[Achievement Event ‘Prevent the First Dungeon Core Amplification’ Completed]
―Reward: Achievement Stat Increase
Leadership +1
Dignity +5
Luck +5
=====
As Ariel said, the wave was shorter than expected.
The mana points earned from 9 waves were 78,000.
Of course, it wasn't a small number of points. But being a B-grade monster wave, he was expecting a little more.
'But it was dangerous.'
The last monster, Cockatrice, was a bit dangerous.
No matter how much Davian flew and kicked, he couldn't stop the hundred or so from approaching the club members.
The high-level skill 'Festival of Fire' can only be used once a day.
'If those dangerous guys came out again.'
He could have lost a lot of club members.
'Let's be satisfied with this today.'
Anyway, he earned 78,000 mana points in one event.
It is the highest number of mana points earned in a single event.
While he was thinking about this and that.
The endless darkness receded and the human world's scenery reappeared.
Dungeon Exploration Club.
Originally, it was a club that would have disappeared during the festival in the first semester.
It has remained until now and has now become a club that has prevented the first major amplification of the dungeon core.
"Let's go back. I have a lot of reports to write."
"Senior, didn't we discover it first? The dungeon grade went up two levels at once."
"I'm going to look for more data. But I think so."
Vice President Nabero approached.
"Davian! Thank you. Thanks to you, we all lived. Luna too. Karin too."
"I'm also a prospective member. Of course, I just did what I had to do together."
"These treasures are walking into our club on their own. I still can't believe it."
"I'm also happy to have such a good club."
He meant it.
How many points will he earn from this club activity in the future?
He already had high expectations.
"Polite guy! I like him!"
The Dungeon Exploration Club's report caused a big stir in the Alcancia Kingdom.
Dungeon Core Amplification.
The royal family directly formed a large-scale investigation team to find the cause of this phenomenon.
At the Magic Tower, research was conducted on what changes this event would bring to the human world in the future.
And time passed.
Davian visited the infirmary.
The day to drink the third potion.
Medium asked with a worried look.
"Davian, are you okay?"
He was the great Davian Naone.
But when he was about to drink the potion, he hesitated.
He may have to experience that pain again.
Maybe it'll be worse.
Still.
He couldn't give up on the tremendous effect of this potion.
In order to graduate from this damned academy.
Davian reached out and picked up a potion.
=====
[Medium's Potion]
―Rarity: ★★★★
―Increases the level of recovery and regeneration skills.
―Can be taken once a month
―When taken a total of 10 times, one of the recovery and regeneration skills can be evolved into a ‘Advanced Skill’. (2/10)
―Caution: Causes status abnormalities for one day when taken
=====
When he ate the second one, the number of servings appeared after the cumulative serving effect.
'Now the third.'
"Are you really okay?"
"I have to drink it. You made such a good potion."
There was hesitation.
But once he made a decision.
He didn't waste any more time.
Gulp.
Tting.
=====
[Constellation Hydra's Blessing Skill Level Increased]
―Lv.33 → Lv.38
=====
Likewise.
The level of the Constellation Hydra's Blessing skill immediately rose by 5 levels.
And.
Crack.
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
Again, pain rushed in that made it difficult to tell whether the bones were actually breaking or just auditory hallucinations.
"Ugh."
He tried to endure the pain.
But.
Boom. Boom. Thump. Thump. Thump.
His heart rate started to increase.
Pain was felt in every capillary in his body.
A completely different feeling from the pain of bones breaking.
He couldn't help but twist his body and scream.
He could vividly feel the blood circulating throughout his body every time his heart beat.
And each and every one of those feelings became unbearable pain that covered Davian's entire body.
Crunch.
Now his muscles started to tighten and compress his bones.
Just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore.
Thud.
Davian's neck just bent down.
"Davian!"
Medium shook Davian's body.
But Davian was already passed out.
Medium supported Davian and laid him on the bed.
She brought a medical towel and wiped Davian's face, which was covered in sweat.
"Yeah... it might be better to be passed out."
