Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Chapter 79.3 - The First Year at the Academy - Second Semester Field Exercise 2 (3)

The problem is that these guys are halfway strong.

All of the dokol's offensive skills were forceful, one-shot affairs. It has four arms, but no ingenuity. Until now, it had been able to push through with its skills.

I parried its desperate [Claw Attack].

The weapon is not good either. Even though it is a spare, it's a familiar one-handed sword for me. The dokol's messy attacks can't get past my [One-handed Sword 7]. I ruled out a lightweight two-handed sword unsuitable for the exercise, but should I have forced myself to bring it?

Lambert's blow sunk the dokol on the other side.

It seems that they had a tough time. Felix, who had held his ground on the front line, suffered particularly heavy damage.

If Elphimia hadn't taken one of its arms, it might have been closer than I thought.

I should end this too.

The dokols over here were exhausted, even though they were not badly wounded. It was the same for Reese and Sickle, no one had attacked them for a while. We had long passed our limits.

After all, they didn't go down the line once.

If it had been just me, it would have been a bit more of an easy battle, but this time I had no choice.

I went along with everyone else, and I'll be happy.

"Who's going to finish—"

I look to the side and cut off his words.

Should I do it?

"All right. I'll do it."

I readied my sword and stepped forward.

I parried a claw from the top and slashed the throat from just below.

I ducked the fresh blood pouring down and turned my gaze to see the last of them fleeing.

I could have killed it with magic, but – let's use the sword until the end.

I held my sword horizontally and rushed to the side to cleave it horizontally.

It was at that moment.

Suddenly, the dokol fell over, and the side cleft cut through the air.

Quickly, I brought my sword back and caught the swinging claw.

Finally?

It must have been a desperately thought-out strategy. Dokol is so frustrated that even the monkey's face shows it.

Naturally, it didn't think beyond that. In the end, it reverted to a forceful attack.

I carefully caught it, and when it collapsed, it went to the side.

I swing down a "Heavy Strike" right at the bottom of the head.

Its upper left arm is decapitated, and the battle is over.

While I was wiping off the blood and checking for any spillage on the blade, Lambert walked up to me.

"Well done."

"Looks like it was a bit of a mess over there."

I had a bleed on his arms and cheeks.

However, the extent of the injuries was worse on Felix's side. Although his injuries were not life-threatening, Elphimia was helping him and applying [Light Heal]. From the look of him, it seems that he doesn't have enough magic power to spare for Lambert and Elliott.

I hand the healing potion to Lambert.

"Elphimia, keep your magic power."

I gave two potions to Elliot as well.

Elliot and Felix bow deeply. Elphimia nodded to me and began to heal using the potions as well.

"Sorry."

Thanking me, Lambert washed his wound with a potion.

"Just having four arms makes things a lot different. The frequency of attacks is not much different, but it's harder to aim at the torso because it's in the way. It was a good experience, thank you."

"No problem. It's your prey. Do what you want with it.

"But."

"It's all part of the deal. Including the dismantling."

Lambert bowed his head, too, "Let's find the magic stone!" I went back.

Then, let's dismantle this one, too.

I dragged the headless dokol and lined it up with the other one.

Meanwhile, the members of Reese's team remained seated.

They look tired, but I'll ask them to hang on a little longer.

Standing in front of Reese, I asked.

"Did you get a little exercise?"

"More than enough, I had a lot to say, but enough already. And I understand why Doris-sama has her eyes on you."

"I'll pass on that one."

I politely decline and move my gaze to a familiar presence.

Decindo was watching the game with his hand on his forehead.

"You again."

I blurted out and shook my head.

I wonder why. It's as if he's looking at a troublemaker. I've been out of the alert net for a bit, but I've had a good workout.

I don't know, but that's just fine. I'll ask him.

"Decindo-sensei, is dorkol fur a material?"

"Hmm – yes, we can use it to make leather armor. I hear it is difficult to handle because of the scales in it."

Difficult to handle, huh?

I'd like to practice tanning. It would cost a lot of money to hire a craftsman, and no skill goes to waste. If it's too much to ask, I'll sell it like I have been doing.

I turn to Reese's team.
