I Was Banished From the Hero Party I Raised chapter 19

4. Temporary Champion Promotion Test (4)

When Vivian first appeared in the co.

Felix could die, but he laughed.

that year will die now

I’m going to collapse in front of this unprecedented giant slime.

I thought so.

From her late arrival to the joint and soiled clothes, it was felt that it must have been difficult for her just to pass through the streets.

So, exhausted Vivian will do nothing and lose.

As always.

However, that confidence was shattered when Vivian cast her light.

Vivian floated a total of 10 lights into the cavity.

It was as if it was cast at once, but it was not multi-casting.

Vivian just quickly cast 10 spells.

It was just so fast that it seemed like they were all happening at the same time.

What was even more surprising was what happened next.

As soon as Vivian turned her gaze towards them, a thin and sharp ice spear flew at them.

The ice spears accurately penetrated the slime rushing towards them, and even reached Marie’s struggling party from beyond.

‘What… . what speed… No, how did Vivian… .’

Vivian used the Ice Spear twice more to help another party of warriors.

The casting time was less than one second.

Death was avoided thanks to Vivian, but the two parties did not have the stamina to fight.

Vivian didn’t care.

“can do… .”

Hundreds of green slimes jumped at her, and Vivian’s figure was swallowed in an instant.

Felix shouted involuntarily.

“right! Nothing like this… Nin… .”

The voice lost its tail.

The moment you thought you were crushed.

Thousands of ice shards spread around Vivian, shaking off the green slimes.

Slimes whose cores were pierced by sharp fragments collapsed in the air.

ice barrier.

He made the small ice crystals he used to play with the children bigger and harder and tightly wrapped them around his body.

Ian smiled at him.

“Good application.”

Originally, Ice Barrier was not written like that.

It was only by forcibly reinforcing the crystal that it produced a similar effect.

That alone is no longer the level of an aspirant.

Then, Vivian fired an Ice Spear at the group of slimes.

As the space expanded, the size of the ice spear also increased.

-Kude deuk!

There was no need to aim and shoot nuclear weapons.

The core, along with the body, was completely crushed by an ice spear bigger than a slime.

After avoiding the charging slime and rolling to increase the distance, another Ice Spear shot.

Dozens of slimes burst out.

Vivian rolled over and got up and ran all the way.

Hundreds of slimes followed her as if they were going to eat her.

“Why, why are you like that?”

“Did you run out of mana?”

The fallen wannabes were her bystanders.

To them, Vivian seemed to be buying time by running away.

It was different for Ian.

It is to attract the slime scattered here and there.

After running for a while, Vivian headed straight for the wall.

Running with momentum to break through, she threw herself to the side just before the crash.

A group of slimes rushing in like waves crashed into the wall.

Right after that, Vivian’s three huge ice spears burst together to burst all the clumsy slimes.

“Wow… .”

One of the aspirants who saw it exclaimed in admiration.

“Isn’t that the wizard who built the ice tower last time?”

“I thought only the size of the magic was big, but this is just… .”

“You’re not at the level of an aspiring person anymore… .”

Felix’s party lost their fighting spirit.

Felix wanted to say something, but his mouth wouldn’t come out.

“Ugh!”

The king slime approached Vivian, who stopped to catch her breath.

Like a worm before a giant, she was too small.

A shadow fell over Vivian’s head.

“Why aren’t you avoiding it!”

“I’m not going to die like that… ?”

who is anxious

Although someone secretly expected it out of jealousy.

Ian laughed to himself.

“Are you looking right?”

Vivian’s eyes were staring straight at the core of the king slime.

Her body was hot, but her head calmed down, she organized her thoughts.

‘This slime can divide quickly to make green slime. In other words, the size conversion is ridiculously free. It means that the nucleus is easy to move.’

‘A mediocre attack will only increase the number of green slimes. If the body outside the core falls off, it will also become a divided slime.’

‘I need a perfect room. A single shot that can destroy a nuclear weapon with certainty and precise timing… .’

‘That is, aiming for me who has stopped and coming straight ahead.’

‘now.’

-bang!

With a tremendous roar, the king slime’s core exploded.

It was pierced by something huge, and the remains scattered in all directions.

The whole cavity trembled faintly.

Ian’s gaze was obliquely far away from Vivian.

That chunky ice spear he showed at the training center.

Even if it wasn’t actually the size of a tower, the Ice Spear was so huge that it had to be compared to a tower.

It was summoned from above Vivian’s head, stabbed the core of the king slime with precision, and went a long way until it was lodged in the ceiling of the cavity.

“Who raised the wizard is scary.”

Ian grinned and asked for a sugar cane.

If you eat it when you’re happy like this, it’s better because it’s sweeter.

When the king slime died, the remaining green slimes lost their strength and collapsed.

Beneath the debris of the king slime that rained down.

Vivian deflected the debris by creating a barrier of ice crystals.

“Whew… .”

‘I did it… .’

When I turned around, Ian was smiling at me.

Seeing that, even Vivian laughed.

-Koo-Goo-Gung… .

Without time to calm down, the entire cavity vibrated.

The ground where the king slime sat was rising.

Stairs wrapped in a circle around the surging cylinder platform.

-Kugugung… . thud.

The loud vibration stopped.

At the top of the platform, which was finally revealed, a green magic stone shimmered.

It was the reward of this dungeon, and only those who passed the test could touch it.

When the dungeon ends, the reactions of the participating parties are divided into two.

They argue that the reward is theirs.

If there is someone who is overwhelming, stare at that person.

Now this common situation was the latter.

Everyone except Vivian looked at her.

“… … .”

She clicked her tongue as if to say something, then closed her lips.

I slowly looked around at the face that was looking at me.

Envy, envy, longing, gratitude.

Several emotions came through.

Vivian’s gaze went up.

At the top of the podium, a green magic stone shimmered.

‘I, I’m here… .’

Vivian turned to Ian, and Ian nodded.

‘I… .’

Standing in front of the stairs, he hesitates for a moment.

I was afraid all of a sudden.

Those who are not qualified cannot even climb these stairs.

It will be blocked by the barrier.

I was afraid that I might become like that.

Ask yourself now, do you really deserve it?

‘I… . i did I did it.’

holding my heart

Towards the top that I always looked up to.

one step, took a step

– Turbuck.

The stairs accepted her.

Vivian slowly took one step at a time.

-Turbuck, turbuck.

Only her footsteps echoed in the wide, empty cavity.

Many memories ran through her mind.

The self who only watched while looking up at others climbing.

The past where I was only envious of the magic stone held in someone else’s hand.

A dream that had to be killed because it could not be of any help to others and was not acknowledged.

-Turbuck, turbuck.

After overcoming all of that, I climbed to the top.

At the top of the podium, a green magic stone shone softly.

The lowest magic stone was larger than normal, probably because of the king slime.

Even so, it might be a bargain for Ian, who was in charge of the first party.

But for Vivian herself, it was different.

The magic stone that she had only hugged in her dreams, Vivian cherished.

‘The magic stone is in my hand… .’

Holding back a burst of tears, Vivian looked down.

It is a landscape illuminated by its own light.

The scenery of the height that I always looked up was so distant and beautiful.

The look on Felix’s face, who had always looked down on him, was thrilling enough to make him think he was a bit mean.

His eyes turned to Ian.

I waved my hand at him, who smiled happily, and he also waved at me.

However, the shape of the hand was a bit odd.

‘… Wait, Ian? Hopefully here… ? Are you serious?’

***

Felix looked up at Vivian, who blankly climbed the stairs.

There was no sense of reality.

Maybe that’s not really Vivian?

It was rather natural.

None of them fit.

Vivian was a nuisance because her magic casting was too slow.

Vivian, who was timid and timid, did not step forward.

Vivian sat down, trembling at the single vicious remark.

And the wizard in the white robe you just saw.

Float and maintain 10 lights at once.

Rescue the party in crisis by using Ice Spears consecutively without a spell.

Freely adjust the size of the Ice Spear and crush the slime in the right place.

In the end, the magician who was caught detonated as if he had been waiting for the king slime that was targeting him.

“ha ha ha… .”

Then it is.

That can’t be Vivian.

Red hair, light green eyes, and some freckles on the bridge of the nose, can’t all be Vivian.

“Yes, yes… . It makes no sense… .”

A woman resembling Vivian climbed onto the podium and grabbed the magic stone.

The portal at the end of the cavity closed.

The test ended with that.

Among the three parties, only one wizard passed through, Ian’s party.

Felix looked blankly at the woman who resembled Vivian, then saw Ian facing her.

It seems to be waving hello, but it’s a bit strange.

The little finger is straightened and shaken.

Seeing this, the woman’s face that resembled Vivian’s suddenly heated up.

She stomped her foot up there as if at a loss.

What are you implying?

It’s been a while since Vivian behaves strangely.

Looking around at the person, she took a deep breath and shouted with all her might.

“Sylvia is a bitch magician with a lower level than me!!”

Everyone was dumbfounded by the out of the blue remarks.

Ian alone giggled as he savored the sugar cane.

***

“It’s really too much… !”

Vivian came down from the podium and whined.

It’s been a while since I had a really good look.

More people should have seen this.

“What if I gossip about this? ugh… .”

“Will I become famous?”

“Ahh-! That’s absolutely not possible! uh, what to do Should I ask them to forget me… .”

While muttering distraught, he did not let go of the magic stone in his hand.

“It was good, right?”

Vivian shook her head and smiled shyly.

“yes… . hee hee, it’s so good I never imagined that I would hold the magic stone.”

“Honestly, the speed was a little cool, right? when I screamed.”

Vivian looked around and whispered in my ear.

“yes… .”

Yes, people have to live screaming like that sometimes.

And it’s not even a lie.

In my opinion, Vivian’s talent is more than Sylvia’s.

Especially when I hunted slime, I was truly surprised.

I never taught anything like that.

Dealing with the scattered slimes one by one would take a long time and be dangerous to the other party.

So it means that he came up with his own tactics on the spot, but that’s not an ordinary ability.

– Pair, pair, pair, pair.

slow applause.

Turning around, Felix smirked and clapped.

Is this kid starting again?

“great. That’s great, Ian. Also, a magician impersonating Vivian.”

“… Eh?”

Vivian made a dazed noise.

I almost dropped the sugar bar too.

why is he like that?

“Ian. Please forgive me for finding out late. Are you the manager of the 1st Hero Party?”

find out what’s late

I heard everything I noticed while talking to the wannabes Ji just brought in.

“By the way.”

“Penny’s words have come true. You said you would have the first party yourself, but I never thought it would be this soon.”

I’ve heard of people talking like that.

Penny is aiming for the first party.

“I feel sorry for being kicked out, and I admit that I am trying to inflict tyranny on our Managers Guild. But if you do this, it will be difficult.”

“… Did you ever hurt your head? I think you need to get some healing from that priest.”

“I bring in an official hero who resembles Vivian, and monopolizes the aspirants’ magic stones at the test site. Isn’t that just what you are doing now!”

You turned around.

“Why don’t you be a bard instead of a manager? You don’t seem to have any talent here.”

“Shut up-!”

The mask impersonating Penny is broken.

Felix widened his eyes and took out a dagger from his bosom.

The others gasped in surprise.

“You, you… ! like you! This is nonsense! You and Vivian… !”

“You’re carrying a dangerous toy.”

“aaagh-!”

Felix, who was frantic, rushed to stab him.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized.

He must know that I am a normal person.

If you stab him with a dagger, he’ll die.

It’s one of the possibilities Taylor pointed out, so I’m not surprised.

You can dodge or counterattack.

You can kill me here in self-defence.

But it’s a bit disappointing.

Like Felix slowly drying Vivian to death.

I also want to stomp on Felix and kill him very slowly.

Even if I get stabbed by that knife, there won’t be a scratch on my body.

That doesn’t erase the fact that Felix tried to harm me.

What would happen if we used that as an excuse to hold the Managers Guild accountable, inform the society, and castrate Felix, who is proud of this job, from his social position?

This kind of person suffers more when their social position and status collapse.

Once I prove to Felix that I am Philip at the right time… .

It looks like an interesting picture will come out.

I finished thinking, but there are still two steps left.

I stayed still with the thought of being stabbed.

– Kwagwagak!

Several ice spears flew from the sky and pierced Felix vertically.

As he ran, he hit the window and fell out.

That ignorant size and density.

Casting speed fast enough to be confused with multi-casting.

“… Vivian?”

Vivian’s expression behind me is unusual.

Her mouth was stiff, but her eyes were wide open as they glared at Felix.

It was so terrifying that I dare not imagine that Vivian could make such an expression.
