Volume 11 Chapter 5 Part 3

「Hmm… is that true?」

「Certainly, saving and accumulating your strength so that it can be used on the more difficult floors is important.」

Alright, looks like I managed to win yet again.

For a moment I was beginning to think if I made a mistake with announcing to the girls that I became a Wizard so quickly because I was so happy about it., but fortunately I managed to flip the situation around.

If I had obtained the Wizard Job two or three days later, then Roxanne and the other girls would have probably not withdrawn so willingly, so in this case, I guess you can say that my misfortune had turned into a good fortune in the end.

Ways of the heavens are truly inscrutable. But it all worked out for me in the end, so everything is fine.

Since I have already obtained it, maybe I should give the intermediate magic a try?

In my head, I thought about 「Burn Wall」and tried to invoke it. It succeeded, creating a wall of fire right in front of me.

Just like Sherry said, using the word 「Burn」must be the one that needs to be used for the Spells from the 「Intermediate Fire Magic」category.

When it comes to size, 「Burn Wall」is about one size bigger than a 「Fire Wall」. And not just bigger, it is also much thicker than 「Fire Wall」. Who would have thought that even such a detail is going to be different? Also, it feels much hotter, although that might just be my imagination playing tricks on me.

That being said, I do not think that I am going to be using that Spell all that much, since I think it is using a little too much of my MP. I do not know that for sure, but I have a feeling that it might be the case, and I don’t want to jinx myself by saying that it uses a lot of MP out loud.

Once the duration of the Spell was over, the fire making out 「Burn Wall」got extinguished on its own.

「The Spell seems to have become a bit bigger ever since master became a Wizard.」

「As expected of master. With this, we should be fine even if we go to the higher floors of the Labyrinths!」

Maybe we will, but I am not going to check it because we are not going there.

「It certainly seems to have increased in power as well.」

「Amazing, desu.」

「I think it is amazing.」

The 「Burn Wall」Spell seems to be pretty well received by the girls. Well, it should be a given that it is going to be stronger than its previous version, but I do not know if it is actually strong enough to be of use on the upper floors of the Labyrinths.

「But then again, in order to acquire a superior Job like Wizard, you require tens of years of hard and dedicated training. Without using Dope Medicine, it is pretty much impossible.」

「It’s to be expected because it is master.」

Did Sherry believe it could not be achieved without tens of years of training before witnessing me actually pulling it off?

Even though I didn’t do any such training, of course. I wish you could learn more from Roxanne’s obedience and honesty.

Also, I don’t think using the Dope Medicine would be a good way of obtaining advanced Jobs.

Because the Dope medicine does not necessarily strengthen you, the increment in your stats will be small, if any at all, should you actually decided to level up using the Dope Medicine.

If there is a stats requirement to acquire Grand Wizard, you will not be able to acquire it using the Dope Medicine. Furthermore, you will end up in a miserable state after consuming a large quantity of it.

「Okay. Shall we see how it fares in combat then?」

「Yes. This way.」
With Roxanne’s guidance, I tried fighting monsters using the Wizard Job’s magic.

Let’s start with 「Intermediate Fire Magic」 first. Until my confirmation is over, I won’t be changing the Skill assigned to the Jobless Job.

I used「Burn Storm」, 「Firestorm」and then another「Firestorm」. It was a magic triple attack by a Mage, Jobless, and a Wizard Jobs combination.

I can’t tell if it is working properly just by looking at it, but it didn’t fail, so everything must have been activated properly.

After repeatedly shooting my magic, the battle was over very quickly.

Like, very quickly.

I think that the clear time we have achieved just now is the fastest we have ever managed to finish a battle.

Intermediate level magic… it is probably fifty percent more powerful than the Beginner Magic, but for that exact reason MP consumption for each Spell will probably increase as well.

Well, if the increase in MP consumption is not going to be a colossal one, then it probably won’t be a problem, since I can recover as much MP as I want by using Durandal. That is why I do not need to be afraid of any increases of MP consumption.

Nowadays, the number of instances where I end up hitting petrified monsters with Durandal keeps on increasing. The best thing about attacking petrified monsters with my sword is that they are unable to launch any sort of counterattack against me.

That’s right. Petrification enables me to strike the monsters safely.

「This is pretty amazing.」

「Yes. As expected of Master.」

「Wizard’s Spells seem to be so much more powerful than the Mage’s.」

「So fast, desu!」

「I didn’t expect it to be this powerful.」

You girls are a part of this fast clear, so it is not like I am the only fast one here.

Once the current battle was over, we moved on, searching for the next one to challenge. I also want to try out different type of 「Intermediate Magic」, since I want to know how much others, not just Fire Magic, are going to perform, but first, the new types of magic.

Next is going to be Ice Magic, with the combination of 「Ice Storm」followed by 「Fire Storm」and「Fire Storm」.

I managed to successfully perform the three-spell combo again.

Sparks of fire danced in the air together with the flakes of snow powder. I wonder if the sparks will melt the ice, or if they are not going to affect one another?

I also wonder: if you use Ice Magic and Fire Magic together, will the power of the used Spells be weaker? But since Sherry did not mention anything like that, then I guess that does not seem to be the case.

No. I can definitely use Ice Magic and Fire Magic at the same time, because I can use multiple Jobs instead of one.

In this world, it is probably not common to use Ice Magic and Fire Magic together because people would probably think that these two are going to offset each other. Is it possible that people do not know that it might not be the case?

Let me put that to the test then.

Until the end of the current battle, I fought only with the combination of three consecutive attacks of Ice Magic and Fire Magic, and the result was that the power of the Spells got reduced indeed, but it took a while.

220
Is the combination of 「Ice Storm」 and 「Fire Storm」useless after all? Or is it not?

It is possible that Ice Magic is weaker than all the other types of magic?

Ice Magic is going to be more advantageous than other types of magic if the enemy is going to be weak against it.

If the power is the same and there will be weakness advantage, using Ice Magic is the only choice. But on the flipside, if the enemy is going to have resistance to it, then of course the power of Ice Magic is going to be weakened.

The next monster was attacked with a double attack of 「Ice Storm」 and 「Fire Storm」, and the next one after that with double attack of 「Ice Storm」 and 「Water Storm」.

It seems that 「Water storm」 won’t offset Ice Magic.

Right now, my Jobless Job can only use beginner-level Fire Magic, so magic is a double hit.

As a result of trying various things, does i「Fire Storm」really offset 「Ice Storm」? I thought it would make me weaker, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. Well, it’s magic after all.
