'There is a magic power on the list!!'
At that moment, Haruki's body became hot with passion.

It is the ability that all adventurers are waiting for until now.......

'I want to check what kind of power it is!'
Haruki was really thirsty for that knowledge.

'But, how should I ask her?'

'There is no information about magic at present.'
'That means she didn't publish it.'

'Adventurers will surely swarm her as soon as she releases the information.'

'She is definitely useful.'
'She'd be treasured if she'd come in contact with a good team.'
'However, if she'd come in contact with a bad team, they would only use and throw her away.'

It is the same as Haruki's skill board.

Beginner adventurers don't have the power to remove that malice.
The disadvantage of disclosing unknown information would easily surpass its merit.

Haruki opened his mouth and sighed while pretending to be casual.

"Karen, can you use magic?"
"......Hm!"

Karen's back which was in front of him reacted excessively.
'Based on her reaction, it seems that she can use it.'

"Why do you ask such a question?"

As expected, it was too straight.
Karen asked while showing her fear.

"It is because you wear a robe and a club which are rare equipment. So, I just think you look like a Magical girl." (Haruki)
"Well, it was a dress for Magical Girls." (Karen)
"Is that so?" (Haruki)

After listening to Haruki's stupid words, Karen was somewhat becoming less tense.
She giggled.

"Isn't magic often a reason for controversies on "Let's be" since the dungeons first appeared? Because there are magic tools, we should be able to use magic. So, I think it's time for the information about how to use magic to spread." (Haruki)
"Even if someone can use it, surely no one will make it public except for senior adventurers, right?" (Karen)
"Why?" (Haruki)
"Well, because it's dangerous." (Karen)

'As expected, she fears that she might be crushed by others'
'So, her reason for asking those adventurers to help her level-up was because she wanted to be able to hunt by herself in a quiet place without revealing her power.'

'The existence of magic will be directly exposed if she uses it to hunt on a crowded floor.'

'It seems to be suspicious if I keep working on the House Centipedes.'
Haruki quickly finished the dismantling.

Meanwhile, he allocated her 4 skill points.

Skill Point(s): 6 → 2

- Magic Power
Magic Power 0 → 1
Magic Compatibility 0 → 1
Magic Manipulation 0 → 1

He hesitated to allocate points to the status which could suddenly change her performance.
'I think it's better to do it on the rarely used magic attributes.'

'This one point will do its job when she must use magic.'

After he allocated her points in magic attributes, the class on the skill board changed.

Class: Hammer User → Spirit User

"It's unexpectedly changeable"

'As expected, the Class change depends on the skills incremented.'

'If the first is her forte, does the second represent her strength?'

For Haruki, it was Sword. As for elder Takenaka, it was Hammer.

'Masatsugu's class was "Emperor Grade Holy Long-Sword and Shield Warrior (Shield Slasher)", the first part is his forte, and the second part is...... not looking like his strength.'

"So, magic comes from spirit......."

'I thought it was from a demon, but would that make her a "demon user"?'
'But, I do not think that the skill board is included in that group.'

'I'll allocate the remaining 1 point to luck.'
'Half of the reason was his preference and the other half was a bet.'

'Perhaps she is very lucky.'

She was saved by Haruki's arrival despite being left to face the Monster Rampage.
'Even when she was attacked by the shield user, she was able to escape the trouble because of Masatsugu's unexpected arrival.'

'Or, it may be called devil's luck.'
'As this status appears, it is no doubt that she has a lucky ingenuity.'

- Special
Luck 0 → 1 (Increasing luck) MAX 5

'The meaning of the ability is not clear, but this skill will surely be useful.'

'But, the skill's name being just "Luck" makes me concerned.'
'Why is it not Good Luck or Devil's Luck, but only "Luck"?'

'It is not written in the description about what kind of luck it is.'
'It's very suspicious.'

'There may be some elements that can turn it into evil or good depending on the condition.'

'Well, it will not be bad luck at least.'
'I do not think there is a disadvantage in the skill.'

'Otherwise, muscles withering would be a normal occurrence even though I have allocated 1 point in Strength.'
'Indeed, I don't want it.'

'I'll set aside the remaining 2 points just in case something happens in the future.'
'There isn't too much preparation if something happens in the dungeon.'

"Hmm?"

When he rested, he felt a slight vibration that shouldn't be in the dungeon.

"Is it an earthquake?"

Apparently, Karen noticed it, too.
Both of them looked at the vicinity in confusion.

'I feel something bad will happen.'
'Is it because both of us became silent?'

"Let's go out, I have a bad feeling."

Haruki immediately proposed that when he felt more confident about his feeling.
Karen agreed without hesitation.

The vibration still continued.
Besides, he heard a sound like something hard was crushed.

'Is it Monster Rampage of House Centipedes?'

Even though it is a monster with no killing power, it will be bad if it appears in large quantities.
If you get involved you might also get trampled to death.

Haruki's running speed increase when he imagined himself being trampled by House Centipedes.

The light from the surface came to the sight.

At that moment, a monster appeared to hinder Haruki's progress.

It had a long body and a hundred long foot.
Its developed jaw could split a human body into two.

"Damn, it is a Centipede!"

Haruki instantly pulled out his dagger.

'Centipedes are different from House Centipedes. It is a monster that has a high killing power.'
'In addition, it has a poison.'

'Centipedes are supposed to appear on the lower floors.'
'However, it is here.......'

It was about 1 meter long.
Its red head which is connected to its black body turned to Haruki.

Centipedes develop their olfactory senses rather than their vision.
So, it probably realized Haruki's presence from his smell.

The Centipede moved its foot to approach him.

"It's fast!"
