Volume 11 Chapter 26: Heading In
"Eh? We're not going to have fried food for breakfast?" Herrick blinked as he stared down at his breakfast. What was before him was grilled salmon with a rolled omelet and a side of spinach. There were mounds of rice in his bowl, just how he liked it. Yet, this was odd. He was expecting fried food for the morning.
"Of course not. If we have that every day, it will wear out." Fried food was common in the manor, as Herrick and Jack kept begging for it. And the others didn't help since they also liked it; it was addicting.
"Also, wanted to go with something light as we’re going to fight a lot.” Today was the day they were going to head into the dungeon. And that was why they needed to get prepared. A healthy and hearty breakfast for all of them.
"And it's better this way," Faelyn muttered as she ate spinach. Some of them prefer a light meal.
"Now, let's finish up breakfast so we can head out and finish it quickly!" With that call, it made them eat faster. After that, it was time for them to head there.
The group was in their battle gear and was prepared to head out. And that was when they headed to the dungeon.
“Good luck, you three.” Jack, Sarah, and Arlo were going to a dungeon that was different from the others.
“Well, we’re going to meet with our groups.” Each one had split off. That was when Keith looked over and spotted Muriel and Lucy.
“Are the two of you ready?” The two were dressed. However, he could tell Lucy was a little less dressed because she was from a commoner background.
“Mmhmm,” “Y-yeah.” Muriel seemed to be fine, while Lucy was a little hesitant.
You don't need to worry about it so much.” The dungeon they were going to wasn’t going to be something complicated. It should be at a level where they could handle it.
"Heh, you are overly optimistic." Jerome scoffed as he stared at him. He was the same as Lucy, where he had the essential equipment.
Keith scratched his head. I hope this is going to go well.
That was the only issue he had for this group. Jerome had not practiced at all with them. This would be a problem. He's in S-class, so he should be fine.
"Everyone," Aidiun called out for their attention as he explained, “The test will be at the end of the fourth floor. We’ll be there at the end, waiting for you all. Go to your designated post.”
“Understood!” The students nodded as they headed their own way. As they did so, Keith added, “Let’s go with the regular formation as we head in.”
“Understood!” Muriel and Lucy understood what he wanted, and they quickly got into position. Jerome was the only one with the weird expression, “What regular formation?”
“I will be the tank, Muriel will be right-wing rearguard while Lucy is in the back. That was the plan that we have placed out.”
“Oh, so you were making plans without me.”
“What?” Keith blinked while Muriel and Lucy did the same as well. Jerome scoffed, “So you think of me as a weak link? Well, don’t worry. I won’t step out a line.”
“…” Are you for real?
“You’re the one who didn’t show up when I said to show up, and now you’re blaming us?” Keith shook his head. He turned to the two, “Let’s go." It’s useless to argue about this right now. Their goal should be to get to the end.
“Understood.” The two girls nodded. Even they felt tired of it; they saw how Keith asked the guy to practice but he waved him off. That was on him.
Jerome continued to have a sneer. However, he did follow the three forwards. Since Muriel worked as the right rearguard, he was on Keith's left. As they continued to head forward, a blue ocean flowed over to them.
Keith blinked, “What in the world?! This is an aquatic area!” This was his first. The ground was covered in water.
“Make sure to stick closer to one another. It’s going to be difficult to move in.” Water would hinder his movements quite a bunch. And he needed some time to deal with it and move.
As the four continued forward, that was when Keith raised his hands into the air. That was when Muriel and Lucy stopped walking, and Jerome frowned, “Why did you stop?”
“Monsters, be quiet.” They’re going to hear them if they keep going.
“…”
“What they’re-“ Before Jerome could finish his sentence, that was when something had dashed out from the ground! But Keith had stabbed it with his halberd. It was a clean stab. The fish's mouth was directed straight at Jerome’s face, prepared to take his head off in a quick fashion.

“If I tell you to be quiet. Be quiet.” Keith shook his head as he continued forward with the two. Jerome’s eyes changed, and his cheeks turned red as he followed after them. Muriel stared at the fishes that came flying at them, “Oh, these are spear fish.”
“You know these?”
“Mmhmm, these fishes are always from the kingdom. They have a simple attack pattern. You look at their fins.”
“Hmm?” Their fins?
“Yes, there’s a place where you can tell it’s preparing the strike and others.” Keith nodded, “Lucy, be prepared to dodge; I will do my best to agro them. The rest of you guys will attack and cover me.” And like that, the battle the group had with the fishes started. The spear fishes were charging at them relentlessly. However, Keith raised his halberd and continued to swipe at them.
Muriel used her weapon to take them down. Jerome was doing the same thing after some time; there was a bunch of dead fish before them.
“Let’s take a little break.”
