Chapter 076

“So annoying!” Moran complained while splitting the Goblin Leader in half .

Joseph and the rest had ventured deeper into the 「Forest of Marma」 . So far they had encountered 「Goblin Archer」, 「High Goblin」, 「Goblin Leader」, 「Poison Toad」, 「Murder Snake」, and 「Boar Soldier」 .

“The monsters are acting odd . ” While examining the area, Memetto dodged the corpse of a goblin that was thrown by Moran .

“It’s to be expected . ”

“They must be fleeing because of the new dungeon appering . It is also unusual for us to be watched by others while battling monsters . Memetto’s mood has soured because of that . ”

Ann’s line of sight fells on Siam who was also fighting a goblin . Siam clad his sword in flames and used it to easily cut down the goblins .

“After all it was impossible for a weakling like you to touch my noble body . ”

The smell of flesh being burned covered the area .

“Marifa-san, look at me and my magic sword . This is why I was called the Explosive flame sword . ”

Everybody had lost count on how many times Siam had said that to Marifa and it had been ignored all of the times .

This time Marifa defeated the goblins by giving orders to Coro and Suke .

“Oh, the rest of the party is excellent . You can be at ease . ” Joseph was saying that as a joke to Yu, who was in the back row, since he hadn’t done anything yet . Each time Joseph threw those jokes at Yu, some killing intent got sent his way from the surroundings but he didn’t care .

“Yeah, Moran must have practiced his sword technique since young . App’s skill with the shield is also sufficient . Memetto’s magic power and casting speed don’t show any problems, too . They’re a pretty balanced party . ” Lalit as one of the most experienced in battle gaves his objective evaluation for the ‘Kimutsuki Flower’ clan . He acknowledged their ability consequently their chance to be promoted to the same C rank as hm .

“I’ve been thinking for a while that you are the type that likes to hide behind women . ” Moran came in front of Yu and said that .

“Well, I’m not here to compete with girls like you . ”

Hearing Yu’s words, Moran’s face tured red instantaneously .

“You underestimate us . Even though we are girls our skills are on par with men’s . After all adventurers are adventurers . ”

“So, do all girls talk rudely like you?”

“Tch, you are asking for it! You’ll have to prove your ability if you want to talk so big . Let’s have a duel!”

After saying that, Moran pointed her swords towards Yu . Joseph who was standing beside Yu could only scratch his head and didn’t seem to be willing to interfere .

Nina on the other hand put her hands on her dagger and Lena directed her staff toward Moran, ready to cast a spell at any time . Kuro gripped his war axe and got in a position to launch an attack . Marifa also held her bow and aimed toward Moran’s head .

“No, stop it Moran . ” (Ann)

“Moran, how many times do we have to tell you to hold back your tongue . ” (Memetto)

“No, you are right! Teach that boy a lesson . If you’re not going to then I will .

Siam was adding fuel to the fire .

“Even that noble boy understands the situation . You can’t run away from this!”

Moran jumped towards Yu while swinging her sword, boosted by 【Body Enhance】 . Yu took out his sword calmly while signaling to his party to stay back .

Moran’s 【Swordsmanship】was already at level 4, it was already at a level that C rank adventurers usually had, but this time she choses the wrong opponent .

Yu received Moran’s sword with his own sword . Not only Moran, Ann and Memetto were surprised too because even though, Moran swang down her sword using both hands, Yu easily received it with one hand .

“This is a lie . To receive Moran’s attack with one hand . ” Memetto involuntarily muttered .

“Hah! After all you only relie on your brute strength . ”

“Don’t relax yet . 《 Engage 》!”

《 Engage 》, as the name implied, was a skill that forced the other party to do battle in close combat . Yu however didn’t even try to dodge it .

“So, it’s just another way to force your way trough right?”

After that they started exchanging blows in close distance . However Yu outclassed her . Every time his attack got past her guard, it stopped just 1cm away from hitting her .

“We are of the same D rank . I can’t afford to lose to a man like you!”

However Yu’s attacks kept breaking past Moran’s guard . Siam and the other were stunned . Siam’s 【Swordsmanship】was at level 4 and he could tell Moran was better than him . Despite all of that, Yu was still easily toying with her .

“Don’t play with me! It’s not possible for me to lose to a man! 《 Moon Slash 》!”

《 Moon Slash 》 was Moran’s last resort . It was a skill of level 3 【Swordsmanship】 .

“That fool, she really wants to kill him!”

Ann realized what she was doing and tried to stop her by using lvl 1《 Guard 》, a 【Shield Skill 】 . However she was a step too late and Moran’s sword was already aimed at Yu’s head .

The sharp sword cut trough the air with abnormal sound as if it was swallowing the surrounding wind . In the next second it should’ve come into contact with Yu’s head, but what happened surpassed everyone’s expectations .

The sword was deflected back in the air as if avoiding him .

“What?”

Memetto in the sides was wondering what had just happened .

Judging from the sword’s trajectory, it should’ve hit him easily but the sword bounced back as if hitting an invisible wall .

“I think he used some magic to do that . ” Eckart said that and Memetto seemed to agree with him . At that moment Lena’s eyes met with hers as if saying, don’t do anything .

“Are you satisfied?”

Yu return his sword back in the sheath and walked past Moran . She was standing there like a statue . Nina chased after him and Lena followed after while keeping her gaze at Memetto .

Memetto and Ann then approach Moran who was petrified .

“Moran, I know you are shocked . But you have to remember this is your entire fault from the beginning . ”

“My fault…”

“Yes! You have to stop your habit of trying to fight anyone you meet . Anyway, Memetto are you able to use 【Investigate 】on them?”

“Yes, the first one is Joseph . He has 9 passive skills, 8 active, and 2 unique . Lalit has 10 passive, 8 active and 1 unique . Eckart has 5 passive, 3 active and 0 unique . Siam has 4 passive, 8 active and 0 unique . ”

Memetto possessed a special skill called 【Investigate 】 . It allowed her to know how many number of skills others have . It was a higher level one than 《 Analysis 》 .

“Hmm… Joseph is in a league of his own . Lalit’s skills come from his experience as a veteran . The other, Moran should have no trouble dealing with them . But Yu, how was that possible?”

“Ann, it is better if you don’t talk like that or look down on him . ”

“But we’re all candidates for the C rank promotion test . We have to face them eventually . ”

Memetto stared at her teammates as if she didn’t want to tell them something .

“Yu has 28 passive, 28 active and 7 unique skills . ”

“What? That’s ridiculous . I’ve never heard of someone with that many skills . ”

The depressed Moran objected instantly .

“Haha, you did a great job pranking Moran . Now, tell us the truth . ”

“It wasn’t a lie . That boy is a monster . To be honest I don’t want to make an enemy out of him . ”

Faced with Memetto’s serious look, Ann’s sweat could be seen flowing down her face .

“His total nimber of skills are 63 . If he wants he could get past C rank easily . Moran, in the future, please, absolutely don’t offend him . If we can cooperate with him, even if he is the one giving the orders, it’s not a bad deal . ”

“If it’s like that isn’t it better for us to not involve ourselves with him anymore?”

“His last movement, was that because of a skill?”

“It was closer to a magic skill rather than a combat one . ”

“Let’s stop talking about this . When Lena walked past by us, it was like she warned us . Even I couldn’t use my 【Investigate 】at that time . ”

“Is it interference by using 《 Analysis 》?”

“I don’t think so . I didn’t sense magical power being used . ”

“Is that so?”

When Lena passed by, she was just blocking Memetto’s 【Investigate 】skill however Ann and the girls received it differently . It was as if Lena was giving them a warning if they wanted to make a move on Yu .

(TL note: it might be Lena manipulating her mana just the way she did with the guild card . . idk though the author didn’t explained it . )
