How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

39 – Second sword, polik (1)

Monsters are classified into a total of 4 grades, from low to high.

As there are not many grades, the risk is not so high, and because the number of objects is so large, it was evaluated as an ordinary game by heroes.

Even if it’s just a high-ranking monster right now, it’s possible to hunt it somehow if the secondary heroes form a party.

A ‘monster hunting ground’ that dominated a specific area of the continent.

And the ‘monster’s lair’ that can be found through the magical power special crack.

The reason the monsters’ habitats got such a universal name was because their danger didn’t come as a big danger to the heroes.

‘… But it’s different from the Witchbeast.’

On the other hand, all countries on the continent are wary of the danger of demons.

Witchbeasts generally have different strength depending on their hierarchy.

Starting from the lowest 1st level, slowly 2nd level, 3rd level -.

In this way, the rank continues to rise.

The setting of this hierarchy is decided by numerous scholars gathered in the ‘Continental Witchbeast Association’ under consultation, and the decision is heavily influenced by the heroic Chaser of Bedlien Seongguk, who was born with the fate of the ＜Beast Recorder＞.

Apparently, since he was a hero who had a detailed understanding of the beast’s appearance, abilities, and detailed information, scholars specializing in beasts couldn’t help but be influenced by him.

“So, depending on the hierarchy, the priority of killing the monsters changes.”

“Yes. It’s because the risk is different.”

I nodded my head at my father’s explanation.

I knew this part well thanks to what Ray taught me.

For example, a Tier 1 monster can be captured by a Tier 3 hero alone.

Ordinary monsters such as the ‘Blue Saber-toothed Tiger’ and ‘Red Harpy’ belong to this category, but the level of danger is not enormous because they have power between intermediate and advanced level in terms of monsters.

That’s why the countries within the continent are not the main targets for killing, and they often become the prey of explorer heroes.

And a second-tier magician.

Here, the feeling is different.

Third-order heroes can only be caught by forming a party and working together, and there are quite a few cases with special abilities, so you need to approach them carefully.

Compared to the first rank, the number of objects is quite small, and the military power is very strong- you can get a great reputation just by catching them.

Among the senior instructors, Instructor Jackson caught the ‘Sabertooth Tiger of the Borderline’.

Also, there is a reason why I, who hunted ‘Lahara of the Swamps’ alone, made a name for myself in the kingdom.

“However, the key to this case is that we cannot accurately determine the hierarchy of the monster.”

“Is it because you escaped the source?”

“yes. Although there have been many cases where monsters have escaped from monster dens, it is the first time on the continent that the monsters that inhabited the source escaped. That’s why I don’t know the information of the monster, and of course I don’t know the hierarchy.”

“Have you made inquiries to Lord Chaser of the Holy Land?”

“The only answer was that they couldn’t accurately identify it with the traces that have just come out.”

That was the reason why the Kingdom of Clepe was trying to dispatch a ‘monster hunting unit’, one of the key forces in this case.

It is a powerful grade that cannot be left unattended even on the continent from the 3rd tier monster.

However, the hierarchy of the demons who escaped from the ‘red forest area’ is currently unknown.

If so, the maximum possible force should be dispatched to minimize damage and maximize performance.

“But the place where the traces reach is near the border of Kespa Kingdom, so 5th tier heroes like this father and Duke Crowfly can’t be dispatched.”

“That’s why I was selected as an alternative force.”

“Perhaps, if all goes well, Todd and Jane will go too. Being able to have three family members participate in a major operation in the kingdom, I am also very honored as the head of Mullique.”

When I turned my head, Todd and Jane nodded at me.

My older brother Todd is currently a member of the Witchbeast Hunting Unit, so participation was automatically confirmed, and my sister Jane, a member of the Tristan Magic Tower, seemed to have received a request for an alternative power, just like me.

My father tapped me lightly on the shoulder and continued.

“But don’t put too much pressure on it. Since Jane and Todd have already confirmed their joining, this father has stood his ground well enough for His Majesty the King. Besides, I heard you were invited as a lecturer to the special lecture hosted by the military academy and the royal family this time?”

A ‘special lecture’ that Densk Administrative Director passionately requested.

That schedule was a little later than the current search for demonic beasts.

I nodded slowly.

“yes. “It seems the royal family viewed me favorably.”

“ha ha ha. Ed: I can’t believe it, but I’m really proud that you’ve already become a hero recognized by the royal family. As I said before, you don’t have to participate in the search for demonic beasts if it’s a burden, so I’ll answer slowly. “Your Majesty, I will tell you well.”

“I understand, father.”

My father and his family returned immediately after a day.

Everyone had a lot of work to do in their respective locations, and it was a clean comeback because they had a meal and solved their problems properly after a long time.

next day.

From noble mtl dot com

I immediately submitted the consent form to the administrative office of the Faculty of Swordsmanship.

‘Operation to search for demons’ and ‘Special Lecture’.

It was a signed consent form to participate in both cases requested of me.

At that decision without hesitation, Ray looked at me with a slightly surprised face.

“Are you all right?”

“why. Does it seem like too much work?”

“That’s right. You have just been appointed as an instructor, and it has been less than a month since the beginning of class… .”

“If it’s enough for you to worry about, there must be a lot.”

As Ray said, things have suddenly increased recently.

From the escort mission of the Ritbel Merchant, to the search for the red bush area, and to the operation to search for the monsters that followed.

In recognition of these achievements, he was even invited as a lecturer for a special lecture, and as an instructor, he faithfully teaches the ＜Balut sword method＞ lecture.

A schedule that seems to be lacking even with two bodies.

It was too much work for a new instructor.

However, I also had a reason to overdo it and digest it.

“money… You have to make money, Ray.”

“yes?”

“Both are supervised and cooperated by the royal family, so the pay is higher than expected. Even if all this is solved… .”

“… Sir Edgar, your eyes are strange.”

Right before my return, the debt relationship I had established was more than I could have imagined.

My older brother, Todd, lent me a large portion of his income, and my sister, Jane, lent me so much that at one point, she didn’t even treat me like a little brother.

After checking the amount directly, my head was dizzy.

This is an amount that cannot be repaid with the instructor’s salary.

Indemnity was possible only when actively hunting monsters and monsters and actively accepting incoming requests.

‘… But how can I pay it back?’

Because of the considerable remuneration offered by the royal family, it seemed that he would be able to pay it off soon after taking on all the requests.

What on earth did I trust in the past to lend me such a large amount of money?

Again, Todd and Jane’s broad generosity and kind heart come to me.

It was very unusual that a freak like me was born between these brothers.

“Anyway, there’s some time left before the Witchbeast Search operation, so we’ll have to do our own thing again.”

The monster search operation was decided a week later.

During the operation, I had to leave the ＜Balut swordsmanship＞ lecture for about two days, so I informed the administrative office and the cadets of this in advance.

A little time left until then.

Thanks to that, Ray and I took advantage of the sky and came to the ‘Blue Swamp’.

“Instructor, hello! Hello assistant… do.”

Reese, who first introduced us to this place, was also with us.

Unlike usual, she came wearing a headband, and thanks to that, I felt that the gloomy atmosphere was a little relieved.

I laughed lightly at the sight.

“The investigation ended sooner than I thought.”

“Except for Rahara in the swamp, I haven’t found any traces of the Witchbeast. Since we can’t search all the way to the source, it seems that the exploration ended quickly.”

As of yesterday, the exploration of the Kingdom investigation team ended, and the restrictions on access to the monster’s lair were lifted.

If it weren’t for the monsters appearing in the blue swamp area, low-level monsters, Prototypes, would be the main monsters, and the risk was quite low.

The only dangerous area left is the source area, the center of the monster’s lair?

However, only the hero who holds the rights to the monster’s lair, namely Reese, can enter the source area.

So it seemed like the kingdom investigation team ended their investigation earlier than expected.

“Instructor. But why didn’t you call the others today?”

As access restrictions were lifted, special practice of ＜Balut Sword Technique＞ became possible again.

But I was in the green swamp with Ray and Risman.

The reason was simple.

“Because there will be no special practice today.”

“huh? “Then what do you do?”

“Attack the source.”

“… uh? uh! “Really?!”

“okay. So, prepare your mind firmly. Well, even if I don’t protect you, I don’t think you’ll get hurt.”

Reese is a cadet who has a lot to hide.

He had too much knowledge about the Ben-Hur Kingdom, and was often seen as having a deep knowledge of magic for a swordsman cadet.

Above all, despite such suspicious traces, the rights to the ‘Blue Swamp’ were fully recognized.

‘It’s as if someone is looking after you… .’

There were a couple of questions, but I didn’t care too much about them.

First of all, the fact that Reese’s intentions on the outside don’t seem impure.

And even if something happens, that level is enough for me to subdue.

More than anything-.

“It’s too flimsy.”

“What did you just say, Instructor?”

“The headband is pretty.”

Reese had too many weak sides to be called a spy somewhere.

In the first place, if you know the information about ＜Gallid＞ and ＜Polik＞, another treasured sword, and the blue swamp area, you have said everything.

Anyway, we put off the special practice for a while and visited the monster’s lair in order to finish our raid on the Blue Swamp for today.

As the level of the monsters that appeared was low, I was able to reach the source very quickly.

“Is this it?”

“huh! Here it is, Instructor! This is the entrance to the source, but I can’t enter because of the crack.”

Barren land and rotting old trees come into view.

Unlike the swamps we had encountered so far, we were greeted by a place where not a drop of water could be seen.

According to Lisa’s claim.

If ＜Tsunami on the Sword＞, a coincidence belonging to ＜Gallid＞, is scattered here… Could something happen?

It was a floating story, but judging from the specifics of the process, it was clear that he knew something.

and.

「The shadow of the approaching inevitable!」

「You are inevitably a hero with ＜Resonant Sword＞!」

「The treasured sword of the ancient maritime kingdom, ＜Tsunami on the Sword＞, which is a coincidence contained in ＜Gallid＞, can be used temporarily.”

Shoot, aaa-!!

After taking out the treasured sword Galid, when ＜Tsunami on the Sword＞ was activated with the 5th inevitability ＜Resonance Sword＞.

Par, ah-!!

Ku, Gugung-!!

A huge tidal wave hits the ground, and intense magical energy begins to surround the area.

Within.

The road to the source of the blue swamp was opened at once.
