Starting solid updates again, probably 1 chapter per day, more if I feel like it.
Towards the 10th Floor 1
Year 7446, Month 10, Day 21
I talked about current matters while eating and drinking at Dorureon.
"This time, it was unfortunate for Kamu and Kimu, but I think they really gave it their best to the limit. Basutoral, Angela, you two might be in danger next time."
It seems they've had a bit of alcohol but it's still not a time to get drunk yet.
"I'm still fine for the time being. I don't intend to hand it over that easily."
It seems that today Basutoral gained a bit of confidence.
"It's the same for me as well. No matter who the opponent is I won't lose when it comes to defeating ogres."
Angela raised her spirit in good condition as well.
"I have something I need to discuss in that regard. It's about {Magic.Items} like the sword and spear. Starting the next time I intend to ban the usage of all {Magic.Items}. Since it seems that if I leave it be it would become the standard after all."
Everyone nodded hearing this. Yeah. Since Miduchi's scimitar and Gwine's spear showed actual results this time I'm sure they would be the first ones targeted. There's also Toris's {Flame.Tongue} and depending on the case Zenom's {Cold Axe.Of.Returning} as well, at the very least they're known within the {Slaughterers} so I think they're easy to target.
Since it's not just about clearing through the exam, but after that they'll need to fight against not only ogres without {Magical.Weapons} like that but trolls and such as well.
"What will be prohibited is poisons as well as {Magic.Items}. After that it's fine no matter what you do."
Hearing that there were those making disappointed faces and those with relieved faces, a variety of different reactions. It can't be helped right. It's a slightly strange way of putting it but it's almost like cramming at the last-minute for an exam and it's hard to consider it as the user's real ability. It might end up in simple fights and negotiations with the owners(borrowers) over the order they can borrow them. It's not good manners, yeah.
After everyone seems to understand on to the next topic.
"Tomorrow morning we're having comprehensive training. There's no training in the morning the day after tomorrow or the day after that but the day after tomorrow there's individual training for each of the teams as well."
Everyone stopped talking while listening to what I say.
"On the next day after that. I mentioned it before but when we {Slaughterers} enter the dungeon starting the 25th we'll be aiming for the 10th floor. This time just like when we cleared the 8th floor we won't be dispatching anyone from the {Slaughterers}. It's a bit of trouble for everyone for another week but I hope you won't overdo things during that time. Kamu you lead the {Butchers} and Ginger you lead the {Exterminators}."
It's a reconfirmation just in case. It took the shape of me designating the leaders but even if I just leave them to pick I'm sure it would have ended up like this, so it should be fine.
"We'll arrive at the teleport crystal of the 8th floor on the 27th. On the 28th, the next day when we teleport into the 9th floor we'll choose our destination to some extent. If we can teleport into a place that leads to that central plaza like area before the afternoon then we'll aim to clear through just like that."
Hmm. I had already predicted it but not a single person seems to be worried.
"If we can smoothly clear it then after that we'll keep an eye on things. If there aren't any problems in particular then we'll return to the teleport crystal on the 8th floor again and then bring Giberuti along to the teleport crystal on the 9th floor. We'll take a look into the 10th floor after that."
Since there weren't any questions in particular everyone started enjoying the food and alcohol again.
