Chapter 124 Teaches the True Way of Fighting - Aqua Version!
"Today, I'm taking Broly with me to get used to life as an adventurer!"
While having breakfast at the table, Aqua told me what she was going to do that day.
"I happen to be free of missions, so I can go and keep an eye on you guys. Although my level isn't high, dealing with the monsters near Axel Town is still a piece of cake."
Marian took the initiative to suggest it.
"Consider this an apology for the misunderstanding I made last night!"
"Did anything happen last night?"
Aqua tilted her head, and Broly, seeing her unchanged happiness level, confirmed that his goddess master had probably truly forgotten about being angry last night.
After finishing their meal, the three of them went out and arrived at the Adventurers' Guild. Luna, who was standing at the counter, heard that the two of them were preparing to accept their first adventurer's quest, so she recommended the quest to hunt down the giant frog to them.
"Giant frogs are not very aggressive on a normal day, but during the breeding season, they will approach towns in order to lay eggs and obtain more food."
Therefore, people and livestock in the farms near the town are threatened by this creature. Although you two are just novice adventurers, your attribute values are very high, so dealing with the giant frog should be a piece of cake.
Therefore, I recommend that you two accept the quest to defeat the giant frog…”
Luna was having a headache over this. The rewards for defeating the giant frogs weren't very high, and it often left people covered in a sticky mess.
Therefore, many high-level adventurers who have other options do not like to do this kind of bounty mission, while it is quite dangerous for low-level adventurers to do this kind of mission.
The guild was preparing to subsidize the Giant Frog Extermination quest, but unexpectedly, two new adventurers with the Horror attribute who registered yesterday are already ready to accept the quest today, and they even specifically requested a relatively weak beginner monster as their opponent. It's like they've stumbled upon a perfect opportunity.
"Alright, let's accept this task!"
Aqua waved her hand, and the receptionist brought down the order form.
"Aqua, giant frogs aren't so easy to deal with..."
Marian, a fighter, was watching from the side and was about to remind Aqua when an adventurer called out to her.
"Marianne, we're planning to go to the forest to the north to hunt down those annoying monkeys, and we need a teammate who's good at fighting. Would you like to come with us?"
The leading adventurer extended an invitation.
"The reward is 250,000 Eris, and I can personally add another 50,000 for you. Please help me out."
Seeing that Marian seemed to be refusing, the man quickly added another sentence.
"Aqua..."
A lucrative job offer suddenly came knocking, putting Marian in a difficult position. She had already agreed to accompany the two of them to their first newbie appointment today.
"It's nothing, just a bunch of frogs. I can handle it myself. Go ahead and do your work."
Aqua patted her chest and said confidently.
"Sister Marian, I'm very good."
Broly was telling the truth, but clearly no one had any idea how formidable he was.
"Okay, then I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back."
Considering the nature of the two individuals when they registered yesterday, Marian wasn't too worried.
"Broly, this is the monster handbook that my sister used to keep."
This was originally meant for my younger brother, but I'll give it to you now.
It contains information about various monsters near Axel; take it.
Also, here is some money, which I'm lending to you and your master.
Before you go to fight the giant frog, remember to buy two suitable weapons from the blacksmith.
Before leaving, Marian gave Broly a booklet and some money. The booklet contained information about some monsters.
He had about 30,000 Eris, which was just enough to buy two beginner swords.
. . . .
"Weapons? No need, I have the Goddess Scepter."
When Broly mentioned buying weapons, Aqua said there was no need at all and casually summoned a flower bud staff.
"No problem, Broly. You don't need to lift a finger today. Just leave everything to me. You just need to watch my amazing performance. Once you've learned how, then you can practice fighting monsters."
Aqua took Broly out of the city, saying she wanted to help him get used to the life of an adventurer, but today Aqua only intended for Broly to experience the atmosphere of fighting monsters up close. As for actually fighting, she thought it was too early for a child.
"Broly, while your attribute stats are high, actual combat isn't just about stats; you also need to understand combat techniques. Now, let me, your mentor, teach you the true way to fight!"
Looking at the giant pink frogs roaming the plains, Aqua said this to Broly, who was from a warrior race, then put away her flower bud staff and charged at the giant frog with her fists raised.
"Innocent frog, please don't blame me. This is a necessary killing to survive in this world. But I will ensure you leave this world without pain. I swear in the name of the Water Goddess, Kamikaze Fist!"
Aqua's fist was enveloped in divine power as she charged forward; despite being a water goddess, she used a technique called the Flame Fist.
It looked incredibly powerful; upon reaching the pink giant frog, the fist, complete with special effects, struck the frog's thick belly.
After a ripple, the giant frog remained motionless...
"Huh? Why isn't it working?"
Aqua stared blankly at her fist, which had had no effect whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Broly also opened the booklet that Marian had left him.
The inscription described how the giant frog, with its well-developed muscles and slippery, slimy skin, possessed the characteristic of being immune to blunt force attacks.
On the page in the booklet that recorded information about the giant frog, there were also many complaints, criticizing how there could be such a beginner monster as the giant frog in this world, and how novice fighters were supposed to survive.
Clearly, the giant frog had caused Marian, the owner of the manual, a great deal of trouble. According to the manual, Marian was able to deal with the giant frog by changing to gauntlets with spikes.
"But if you use a beginner's sword, it feels better than a spiked gauntlet. Also, after the giant frog swallows a person, it will enter a digestive state where it stops moving. That's the best time to attack, take down the giant frog, and rescue your companions. That's what it says in the manual that my sister Marian gave me, Master Aqua."
Broly looked up at Aqua, who had been swallowed by the giant frog and was now only showing her two legs, and said.
"So that's how it is..."
Aqua's muffled voice echoed from inside the giant frog's belly, but it was quickly transformed into a sob.
"Broly, I'll use healing spells to hold on. Could you please go back to town and call for help?"
"Hey, isn't this Aqua-sensei? Are you showing me the real way to fight?"
Broly was a little surprised; he had thought that being swallowed by the giant frog was Aqua's unique fighting style!
