16.

Plop, plop, plop on the dirt floor.

The magic cubes started popping up.

Magic cubes casting spells to attack Ray with lightning magic.

“It’s useless.”

Ray creates magic claws to save Chris’s magic power consumption.

“Dragonic Magic, Dragonic Nails!”

Scratch, scraatch!

The magic claws grew from Ray’s hands to a length of about 50 cm.

And in an instant, he was up close to the Magic Cubes and was trampling on them with his claws.

-Pipipipik!

Magic cubes that are scratched by fingernails and turn into rainbow-colored balls of light and oxidize.

Defeat two Magic Cubes in an instant and aim for the remaining Magic Cubes.

Meanwhile, a little way back, Sean was fighting a mini golem.

Shaun barely manages to block the mini golem’s attacks with his shield.

-Koooo!

Mini golem emits a lion’s roar.

Sean stumbled and fell over, startled by the loud roar of the mini golem.

A mini golem trying to cover the fallen Sean.

“Thunder Missile!”

Yellow electric magic poured down on the mini golem like arrows.

Kujijik!

The magic shot by the wizard Joe stops the mini golem’s steps.

Since the golem was immune to earth and lightning, it didn’t do much damage. However, Joe was doing his job well enough, as he saved the life of Sean, who was in the vanguard, at a critical moment.

“Thanks to you, I survived!”

Sean stood up, gave Joe a peck on the cheek, and raised his shield again.

There are 6 magic cubes left.

I had to hold out until Ray finished destroying all the Magic Cubes.

Sean braced his legs and slammed his shield towards the Magic Cube.

“Don’t look down on me!”

Ray used his Dragonic Nail skill to quickly deal with the Magic Cube. The wizard Joe also helped Ray with his Earth Missile magic every now and then to increase the number of kills.

Ray and Joe joined forces to capture the magic cubes one by one.

It was originally a magician monster with poor defense.

The mini golem that was supposed to be guarding had its feet tied by Warrior Sean, so it couldn’t withstand Ray and Joe’s combined attack for long.

Ray and Joe were able to catch all eight Magic Cubes without much difficulty.

“Help me quickly. I’m going to die like this!”

Sean cried out as he was caught on the ground by two mini golems.

“Ray, save Sean quickly!”

“Okay.”

Ray jumped up and down.

“Dragonic Nails!”

Ray easily turns two mini golems into orange boulders.

“Thank you, Ray, Chris. I survived thanks to you.”

Sean woke up, dusting the dirt off his clothes.

-Tiring.

The task status is updated in the status window.

[Magic Cube 14/120]

“Thank you guys for your hard work.”

Meanwhile, a little ways away, Jeremy and Vera were watching Chris and his men hunt.

“It looks like Chris and his group caught a monster too.”

“Why is Chris partying with those packs? I think it would be more efficient for Chris to fight alone.”

Jeremy tilted his head and looked at Chris.

To Jeremy, it seemed like Chris’s summons weren’t able to fully exert their power because they were protecting Shawn, Joe, and Austin.

“He may be capable as a summoner, but he’s stupid. He’ll only be a nuisance if he keeps weak people around him.”

“That’s right. I thought Chris had changed a bit, but his personality changed in a strange way.”

Vera snorted in agreement with Jeremy’s words.

It was true that Chris had changed a bit, but I thought that if he couldn’t tell right from wrong, I would have to eliminate him as a husband candidate again.

-Beep beep~

A whistle was blown a little ways away from where Jeremy was standing.

It was a signal that the archer cadet Duken, whom Jeremy had sent to lure the monster, had arrived with the monster.

“How many monsters came?”

Jeremy asks every warrior cadet.

Every time, they were a nomadic people, so their eyes were good.

Every time I open my eyes half-heartedly and look towards the place where the whistle sounded.

“There seem to be about 30 Magic Cubes?”

Jeremy raised his Battle Axe.

Since Jeremy’s party was confident in their skills, there was no need to hunt 7 or 8 monsters at a time like Chris’s party.

It is easier and more convenient for Jeremy to catch 30 at a time.

“Duken did a good job.”

Jeremy praising his archer cadet, Duquen.

Douken seemed to have lured the monsters towards Jeremy by taunting them with arrows, while he himself hid somewhere using his stealth skill.

“Vera, please give me a buff magic.”

“Leave it to me.”

-Lalalalala~

Vera picked up the microphone and performed her singing magic.

A heart-shaped pink song mana beam was projected onto Jeremy and the warrior cadet’s bodies.

Jeremy and the warrior cadets prepare for battle while receiving song buffs that increase various abilities.

Monster time will soon arrive.

“Let’s wipe it all out!”

“Ouch!”

Jeremy exchanged glances with Maekma and dashed left, then right, charging into the group of monsters in a Y shape.

“Rotating Slash!”

Jeremy, transformed into a red top, charged into the horde of monsters and began to smash the Magic Cubes one by one.

-Pipipipik!

As soon as the Magic Cubes touched Jeremy’s Battle Axe, they oxidized into a rainbow-colored mass and died.

The warrior cadet on the right raised his longsword with various buffs and grabbed the magic cubes one by one.

The two warriors advanced, pushing aside the monsters like bulldozers.

Faced with the overwhelming fighting power of the two, some monsters lost their will to fight and began to run away.

Archer Cadet Duken was hiding in the tall bushes of a nearby swamp, waiting to spot the fleeing monster.

Douken raised his bow.

Aim your bow and calmly aim for the Magic Cubes as they run away one by one.

-Peeing! Peeing!

The Magic Cubes are dying one after another after being pierced by Douken’s arrows.

In the blink of an eye, over 30 Magic Cubes were all defeated.

“Whew~ It’s nothing special.”

Jeremy wiped the sweat off his face and put his Battle Axe into his backpack.

-Tiring.

The number of hunts displayed on Jeremy’s status window.

[Magic Cube 45/120]

Achieved 1/3 of the goal in less than an hour.

It was a huge number.

It was common for regular cadets to prepare tents and camping, planning to hunt for four or five days.

But if things continued this way, Jeremy Party was on track to achieve all of his assignment goals in one day.

It was possible because there were Jeremy and Vera, who were top-ranking students, and the Warrior and Archer cadets, who were not top-ranking students but were students with considerably high skill levels.

“Hey, Chris. How much did you guys catch for your party?”

Jeremy cast a ticking spell.

“Our party is 14th.”

“Really? We’ve already caught 45? If we catch them so slowly, will we be able to return to the academy today?”

Ray is upset by Jeremy’s blatant teasing.

“Why does that redhead keep bragging? Krrrr.”

“What, a broad forehead?! I just have a wide forehead!”

Jeremy seems to have a complex about his secretly broad forehead.

“I don’t know. He might be losing his hair right now. How is your father’s hair volume?”

“What, what?!”

“Don’t you know that hair loss is hereditary? If your father doesn’t have much hair, your hair will inevitably… ”

“Kkwaak! Stop it… .”

Perhaps Jeremy’s father had thin hair.

Jeremy was severely mentally attacked by Ray’s attack and took a step back.

“Ray! How can you say such harsh words to Jeremy! Why can’t you apologize right away?”

Chris scolding Ray.

“No. This body just tells the truth. If you don’t take care of it from a young age, it’ll be too late!”

“Hmm… That’s right. There’s no magic that can create hair follicles yet. It might be too late when you notice. Are you taking care of Jeremy?”

“Shut up! Don’t worry about my hair!”

Jeremy was wondering if he should start taking hair loss medication tomorrow.

“Don’t worry about us, we’ll hunt our own way.”

Jeremy laughs at Chris’s words.

“Yeah, just hunt slowly like a turtle. We’ll be done soon and back to the academy.”

Jeremy and his group thought they had already completely defeated Chris.

I sent Archer Duken out to scout out the monsters again and took a rest at the giant mushroom colony.

Chris and his party, who finished hunting around the same time as Jeremy’s party, also took a rest a little away from Jeremy’s party.

Vera approached Chris.

“What do you think, Chris? You see how wrong your choice was? How dare you refuse my offer.”

“Well, I don’t think it was a bad choice.”

“Ohhohoho~ Trying to act tough. Even so, I will never accept you into our party again.”

Vera laughed at Chris and turned back to Jeremy’s party.

“Why on earth did that girl come to you?”

Ray asks as he watches Vera confidently return to her party.

“Well? Seriously, why have you been coming to me and nitpicking since earlier?”

The two parties resting for a while.

At that moment, in the silence, the sound of the archer cadet’s whistle was heard.

-Beep, beep! Beep beep beep.

The whistle sounded a little different than before. It was a sound that gave off a sense of urgency.

“Huh? This is… ”

Jeremy’s expression hardened.

“What, what happened?”

The warrior cadet answers Vera’s question.

“This is an emergency signal.”

“Every time, look towards the direction the whistle sounds.”

At Jeremy’s command, the warrior cadet looked with his 5.0 vision toward the swamp where the whistle sounded in the distance.

“Oh, shit, I’m screwed.”

A warrior cadet suddenly starts swearing. His face turns blue with fear.

“What’s going on?”

“Thunder Tiger! Douken, this idiot brought Thunder Tiger!”
