The plan was to let Hasuki and Olivia deal with the small squids while Luna prepared a 3-star light magic spell.

'Ah! This plan is f*cked! '

But there was two major errors in the plan.

One Olivia who was a mage couldn't possibly fire magic spells precise enough to hit the small squids, considering that she was a freshmen.

Second, Luna Primrose was left completely unguarded while preparing the spell, which was very dangerous.

'I need to step up myself. '

The arrogance of Luna was weighing our team down. I don't know what she had against me but it was time to teach her some lessons.

Luna and Olivia stepped aside, while Hazuki held up her daggers, clearly coursing his magic power to the weapon.

But I held up my gun before Hazuki could make her move.

"Hey, you don't have to..."

Luna noticed my movement and tried to stop me in shock, but I ignored her.

Now was the only time I could shine.

I imbued magic power to the gun and activated the beginner marksmanship.

Immediately, the blood in my body began to boil. My vision became clearer and the world slowed down a bit. I could see and predict the trajectory of the raining squids. Their one-dimensional movement made them much easier targets than the green wolves in the shooting range.

There were twenty magic bullets loaded into the gun.

It was simple. I just had to look where I was shooting and pull the trigger.

Magic bullets silently cut through the air, leaving behind a blue trace. One bullet for one target. The clip was emptied in an instant.

But I didn't stop there and loaded another batch of bullets into the gun.

I shot another twenty bullets, then another twenty all while moving closer to the squid step by step.

After I shot 60 bullets nonstop, all the baby squids were dead.

"... Huh?"

The creatures covering the sun disappeared without leaving behind a trace. The sudden change made Luna and the others confused.

"C-Come on. Let's go."

"Ah, right."

"Yes!"

Quickly snapping out of her daze, Luna rebuked Hazuki and Olivia.

Only then did the two begin to run at the main body.

I didn't give them any chance to attack.

I threw the gun aside and unsheathed the sword on mu waist.

Slash!

The mana imbued sword slashed through the giant squid's head in an instance and I landed on another side of the monster.

Kieeek—

Black blood gushed out of the cut region and nearly half of it's head was slashed.

'Tch!'

It seemed like I was still lacking in strength to finish it off in one. move.

Crying voraciously, the squid tried to jump on Luna who was running at the monster.

Noticing it, I took out the spear on my back and threw it at the giant squid.

Peirce-I think you should take a look at

Hitting the giant squid on the mark, the spear went though it's

head and came out from another side

The black blood of the giant squid and it's mucus was slashed on Luna.

Before she was covered in goo, Luna calmly spread out her magic power and created a light shield.

The mucus from the giant squid fell down after hitting the shield.

"Uk..."

But she couldn't block everything. Luna gave me a deathly glare, but she knew now wasn't the time to complain.

She looked towards the monster whose head was peirced by my spear.

"Attack!"

She instructed noticing that the monster was on it's last leg.

7 minutes 54 seconds.

It was the time we took to kill that monster.

Even though I had peirced

head with my spear, it's incredible regeneration skill made it very hard to deal with.

Anyway, thanks to Hazuki who cut off two of it's

tentacles and Luna, who managed to cast a three star Light magic spell to finish it off, We finished off the monster without much trouble.

"..."

Now that the battle was over, Luna had her eyes closed shut.

Around her ankles and snow-white collarbone were the giant squid's dried blood and mucus. After letting out a sigh, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped them off.

Then, she turned towards me.

"Excuse me."

Her eyes were smiling, but it didn't seem so friendly. I met her eyes without backing down.

".. What? "

The anger hidden in her eyes were like blades.Luna was a fearsome woman, after all she will grow up to be the master of Tower of Prudence.

"You didn't need to bother. I can take care of low ranking monsters like the giant squid just fine. Much cleanly."

she didn't forget to press more on the last words.

"..."

"Because of you, my clothes ended up getting dirty."

I was about to say something when my two insensitive teammates approached me.

"Whew, that was swift thanks to you. I saw it. You killed the baby squids in a flash, right? Guns have their advantage, huh."

"That was amazing!"

It was Oliva and Hazuki, who were covered in blood and ink.

Seemingly afraid to get her clothes dirty, Luna Primrose slowly stepped away from us.
