10. Primitive fireball user

TN: A big thank you to Zakery C. for the amazing coffee!!!

"Shoot me!" (Nigris)

"Fireball!"

While on a quest to collect herbs, we were watching Arisa’s magic in the forest.

At that time, I was confused.

"Her Aptitude is SS, so why is it so weak?"

"No, it's not! It's weird that Nigris can withstand it! It can easily take down three trees!”

"Maybe you’re right. This is a technique I devised, I call it [Heavy Clothed Layered Heal].”

It’s a magic that adapts you to a constant deployment of healing support magic. I’d never been on the front lines and hadn't used it before, so I wanted to see if I could receive Arisa’s magic.

But the power of Arisa's fireball couldn't do any damage to me.

Fels' magic aptitude is A. Even so, when she used magic for the first time, it was more powerful than Arisa’s, and I thought it would be stronger if it became S.

"Is it because of this ...?"

The [Primitive fireball user] that appeared at the time of appraisal.

"Arisa, you weren’t cursed like Fels, can't you use anything other than a fireball?"

"Yes, I'm destined to use only fireballs."

"... I don't really understand." (Fels)

Fels tilts her head.

I’m the same. I don’t get it either.

What fate?

"I fell in love with fireballs at first sight! It's all about fireballs, fireball is my origin!! "

"... Fine, I get that you like it Arisa. The problem is the power. Why is the power so little?"

Despite being more talented than Fels, the power of her magic is low.

If it's not a curse, is it the same kind of skill as mine?

I don’t know anything for now.

"I don't know. This is the biggest fireball I can make. It's you who told me I was talented? Maybe I'm not talented?"

" No, you are "

My Appraisal skill can’t be wrong.

In fact, her status hasn't changed. It's not a mistake.

I wish I had some kind of magic that could help me in such situations.

After taking a break, Alisa asked me a question.

"Hey, why is Nigris' healing magic so unusual compared to other healers?"

"I don't know if it's amazing or not, but I think it’s cause I’m aware of it while I use it?"

Even when I was with Florence, I had a strong desire to do something to help her.

"If you want to help people and use magic, the healing magic will respond. At least I think so."

I just wanted to help everyone. You might laugh at me for being a hypocrite, and I can’t argue.

But that's who I am.

"...! Yes, that's right!"

"What happened suddenly"

"Originally, magic was created to find ways to make everyone happy. I forgot what was important."

Did she come up with an answer? Arisa held her cane toward the forest in the back.

"The problem was feelings ... not for money or power. Just like Nigris, who just wants to help others. I should have thought of the person who believed in my talent. Yes! "

She raised the tip of her cane.

"Fireball !!"

Spiral vortices converge at the tip, creating a large sphere.

The wind pressure shook the forest, and as the magic was released it gouged the soil.

──── Dogoooon

The scene after the dust settled was horrific.

"What is this power ... !!"

"To think I could shoot this kind of magic ...?"

Magic aptitude S.

This is her original power.

 It almost slipped my mind cause of my surprise and delight but,

"Oi, Alisa? Why did you shoot it over there?"

"I don't know. I just happened to turn around and shoot. There aren't many monsters around there, right?"

"...... Looks like you hit the worst possible spot.”

I knew it because I had been adventuring in this forest for several years.

The deeper you go into this monster forest, the more terrifying the monsters are.

And the magic shot by Alisa was toward the lord of this forest. It hit the lair of the adherent dragon.

This is the worst. Why did you pick a fight with the most troublesome guy!

I used my appraisal on the dragon to check its state.

"A dragon in danger state is flying toward us?"

"... Are you serious?"

  Adherent dragon.

Subjugation difficulty: SS rank.

This monster was raised from S rank to SS rank after the S rank party, Silver Wings, failed to defeat it.

The Adventurer's Guild already gave up on this dragon’s subjugation.
