Strange Encounter

Strange Encounter

Five minutes after the first fight, Yuuto checked his status as he was walking.

Konoe Yuuto
Magic	Fire Magic LV 3 (22/30)  Water Magic LV 3 (4/30)  Wind Magic LV 3 (20/30)  Holy Magic LV 2 (5/20)  Curse Magic LV 1 (1/10)
Trait	Fire Resistant LV 3 (1/30)  Water Resistant LV 3 (0/30)  Wind Resistant LV 2 (14/20)

「Ooh……」

The change in status caused Yuuto let out a surprised voice as he widened his eyes. Two things should be noted. The first of which was that the experience level of water magic rose from (1/30) to (4/30). Till now, he had gained 1 experience point for each monster defeated, but this time, he had somehow gotten three. The second thing was that he had 《Curse Magic》 added recently. With this, Yuuto could now use all types of magic.

「Hey, Spica? If I am not mistaken, a person that can use four types of magic is called a 《Quartet》, right? Then……what is a human who can use five types of magic called? 」

「Um…… I don't think there is a name for such a person.」

「? Why are you asking? 」

Sylphia replied when Spica seemed unsure.

「Fumu. It’s probably because there has never been a human who could use five types of magic. It is said that a person who can use 《Curse Magic》 is harder to find than a 《Duo》. While in theory it’s not impossible, having four types of magic attributes, 《Fire》, 《Water》, 《Wind》 and 《Holy》 is thought to be the limit of humans.」

「……I see.」

(Does that mean……that I am the first human in the world who can use magic of all five attributes……?)

However, at the present, he did not feel this to have a large benefit. The reason being that the power and available magic depended on not just the skill level but also the mastery of it. Compared to the locals, Yuuto's magic power was low as he had been summoned to Trywide recently. This problem needed to be solved with magic training every night.

Yuuto steadily continued the subjugations. Searching was easier as Orleans Forest did not have slopes similar to Ragul Mountain Range. Plus, since the monsters were humanoid, his subjugation efficiency was greater. If there was a concern, it was the third type of monster. Why had they not encountered a single Woodhead yet?

「Hey, Spica? Do Woodheads……really inhabit this area? 」

「……Um. According to the information from the guild that is the case. Woodheads usually like to hide amongst trees and bushes, so they are hard to find. Furthermore, it is written that high-level adventurers tend to have a hard time subjugating them as they have a tendency to run away when someone stronger than them approaches.」

「I see. There was such a monster too.」

If they encounter it once, Spica could find the rest of them, but it would be difficult finding that first one.

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

Approximately three hours of searching later, they still could not find a Woodhead, but the number of Lizardmen and Skeletons subjugated was more than enough.

「I am tired from all the walking. How about we take a 10 minutes break near the waterside over there? 」

「I understand.」

「I agree.」

Confirming with the two, Yuuto pushed through the trees and arrived at the waterside.

Blair Dragon

Threat LV 32 State (Taming)

From head to its tail, an 8 meters long dragon was drinking water.
