Chapter 70
Chapter 70. New Techniques
Let’s put aside the talk about relationships within the party.
Let’s talk about dungeon exploration.
I call out to Yuzuki as we trudge along the path in the forest.
“So, Yuzuki. How was the damage from the [Three Strikes]?”
“Well, I can’t say. I was staring at the HP numbers in real-time with [Monster Appraisal] activated, but all I could tell was that it went from 55 to 0 in one fell swoop.
“I see. Too bad.”
“But the damage of your spear is about 30 against a mutant ape, so I think it would be about 100 when tripled.
“Well, I thought it was overkill. I’ll have to make adjustments in the future.”
One hit of [Triple Strike] does about 100 damage.
My maximum HP is 80, so if I shoot it at myself, it might kill me instantly, I think to myself.
But a mutant ape’s maximum HP is 138, so even with just one shot, I don’t think I can kill it.
That gorilla is too strong.
“The other thing is the MP consumption. The [Triple Strike] is strong, but the MP consumption is also heavy. Consuming 8 points with attack skills is tough for healers.”
“I’d like to share my surplus of MP with Musou-senpai as well.”
“Kuhkuh, that’s fine. Then I’ll take all your MP.”
“Kyaaa, I’m getting attacked by senpai… Kazane-oneesan, help me!”
“No, Daichi-kun! If you attack Hotaru-chan, I will take your place! Come on, attack me.”
“Hahaha, then I’ll eat you both up together! I don’t have anyone to pick up the pieces.”
“Don’t go back to your senses, senpai!”
I play the farce in a flirtatious way.
It’s fun, but it’s also quite embarrassing for me.
It’s okay that no one else is watching us in the dungeon, but if someone saw us, I would commit seppuku.
“I have a lot of MP to use. I also leveled up in the current battle and learned a special move.”
“Oh-hoho.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“- [Status Open]! Look, look, here it is.”
“Hmm, let me see.”
I peeked at the status that Yuzuki had given me from the side.

“Oh, [[Flame Lance]]. But didn’t you also get [Increase Magic (+7)] on your skill list at level 16l? You mean you didn’t take that and prioritized this one?”
“Oooh. After all, it has a power coefficient of 2.2. Boom, boom!”
“A coefficient of 2.2, huh? That’s true. Yuzuki tends to have a surplus of MP, so it’s worth giving priority to taking it. No, wait. With this, even if I don’t use [Triple Strike], I can deal with 2 mutant ape formations, right?”
“Kukuku. As expected of a senior, you are very discerning. It’s no exaggeration to say that this is why I took it for.”
According to an investigation report by a verification team posted on the Internet, the power of attack magic can be expressed by a numerical value called the power coefficient.
To talk about specific numbers, the magician’s magic power plus the armor’s magic power modifier multiplied by the power coefficient is the basic attack power of that magic.
The verification team presented the power coefficient of each magic, such as 1.8 for [Fire Bolt] and 1.3 for [Burn Blaze].
In comparison, Yuzuki’s newly acquired [Flame Lance] has a power coefficient of 2.2.
You may think this figure isn’t as flashy as the same single-attack magic [Fire Bolt].
But after all, it’s a multiplication.
If you have a monster-level magical power like Yuzuki, even a slight increase in the power coefficient will result in an explosive jump in total magic damage.
Incidentally, looking at the status of Yuzuki at level 16, her magical power has increased by two points, one of which is because Yuzuki ate the seed of magic power.
As mentioned above, magic power affects the power of magic in a multiplicative way, so even a one-point increase in magic power is not a foolproof effect.
In addition, since magical power also affects magic defense and maximum MP, it is also called the ‘hit ability value’ compared to other ability values.
In terms of seed trading prices, magic seeds tend to be traded at higher prices than other seeds.
At any rate, this acquisition of Yuzuki’s skills was a great hit for the 7th floor.
The significant increase in the attack power of Yuzuki’s single attack magic made it possible to deal with the troublesome formation of two mutant apes without major problems.
As a result, my [Triple Strike] became an unwanted child, but that’s the way it goes.
I’m sure it will come in handy in the future. I’m sure. I won’t be lonely.
Then, the only remaining problem to conquering the 7th floor is the large MP consumption of Kazane-san.
But now that Kazane-san has reached level 18 and obtained [MP Up (Magic x 5)], so there is some leeway.

With this, the challenges of the 7th floor have been largely cleared.
However, it’s not as if we have a tremendous surplus of strength.
When we left the dungeon after a day of searching for about 8 hours, everyone’s MP had decreased by 70% to 80% of its maximum value.
I feel it’s still too early to go down to the 8th floor.
The 7th floor would be the best place to earn money with a larger safety margin with our current strength.
With this in mind, we decided to spend the next week leveling up on the 7th floor.
After finishing our dungeon exploration for the week, the three of us had a meal together and headed home.
Unfortunately, since it was yesterday, I had to put off making out with Kazane-san.
We had agreed to make out with each other in moderation since we were both about to get into it.
When I got home, I took a bath and went to bed.
But that night, I had a very strange dream.
