Chapter 5
Fate
Translator : PolterGlast
Although it should
have been relatively close, the orc didn't seem to notice me, perhaps because
its eyesight wasn't as good as mine.
The orc was holding a
large, grub-like insect in its hand, sniffing excitedly.
Apparently, the insect
was freshly caught, and it was wriggling.
Speaking of which,
that insect is pretty big... it's about the size of a puppy.
I was a little
relieved that it hadn't noticed me.
I guess it couldn't
help but shout when it saw its delicious giant grub.
That orc might be a
gourmet reporter (definitely not).
I watched the orc
single-mindedly devouring the caterpillar with gusto.
For now, its attention
is completely focused on the grub.
This is my chance to
strike him by surprise.
I'm a little scared to
go into actual combat right away, but I should definitely test the power of my
magic.
...Okay, I'll try a
hit-and-run tactic for now.
I stood up, pointing
my right hand at the orc and my left hand behind me.
Then I activated the
[Home] gift with my left hand.
I summoned my home
from the subspace, grabbed the doorknob with my left hand, and opened the door.
After preparing to
escape immediately, I decided to unleash my magic with my right hand.
I don't know how
strong my opponent is... so I'll use the strongest magic I can use right now.
I'm going to use the
strongest lightning magic I can unleash, which I can use when my lightning
magic reaches LV 10.
I couldn't use magic
in my home, so this is the very first time I'm actually using magic.
Speaking of which...
it takes a long time to use it, even though it's my first time.
It takes 10 seconds
just to prepare, so maybe it's a spell that's meant to be used when someone is
buying time for you.
"--Gungnir!"
The lightning magic
Gungnir is a spell that fires a powerful lightning spear.
Lightning formed into
the shape of a spear by magic power is accelerated even further by lightning,
using the principle of a railgun, and fired at ultra-high speed.
I was hoping to take
it down somehow... but the result was beyond my imagination.
Boom!!!
The lightning spear I
unleashed flew with a tremendous sound.
The spear pierced
through the orc's body, charring it in an instant.
And even after
piercing through it, its momentum didn't diminish at all, and it continued to
tear through the grassland at tremendous speed.
Thanks to the shock
waves it was scattering around as it crackled with electricity, the grass in
its path was scorched at an incredible rate, leaving a terrible scene as if the
place where Gungnir had passed had been dug up by heavy machinery.
Perhaps because the
sound and light of that single blow were so intense, the birds that had been
pecking at seeds on the ground took off all at once, and the giant grub that
the orc had been eating earlier popped out of the ground.
"...That was a
bit overkill."
I don't know if it was
the lightning magic that was bad, or if it was bad to use LV 10 magic...
probably the latter.
...I'll seal LV 10
magic for a while, yeah!
"I had no idea
which way to go... but I guess I'll go in the direction Gungnir flew off to for
now."
I'm probably the only
one in the world who would go in the direction they unleashed Gungnir when they
didn't know which way to go.
Perhaps my magic attack
has caused damage to people or buildings.
I hope nothing
happened...
Fortunately, there
were no casualties.
And a miracle
happened.
When I traced
Gungnir's path, I found a road that was clearly man-made!
By the way, the road
was slightly torn up by Gungnir's shock wave.
So I quietly fixed it
with earth magic, which I'm not very good at, and continued on as if nothing
had happened.
I'll take the fact
that I destroyed the road to my grave.
Then, I walked along
the road for a while.
As I was making my way
along the road, confirming that orcs and goblins could be defeated even with
level 1 magic, I saw a large town.
That's probably...
Grisnia, the capital of the Grust Kingdom.
--The capital of the
country that summoned us class 1-A, and the place where I was supposed to be
transferred to. A fateful place.
