Incubus Banishment

Chapter 17: Adventurer Debut  ~Alicia’S Skill Inspection~



The next day after we finished the adventurer registration.

Alicia and I immediately headed to the guild and accepted our first job.

I stepped into the guild together with Alicia in order to pick the appropriate quest from the board.

Today was our second time coming here but, there was no changing the fact that we were beginners.

Naturally the gazes from the senior adventurers hanging around inside the guild were following us around, but the gazes were completely different from the ridiculing gazes yesterday.

「Oi……is that the rookie who sent Rainy-san flying?」

「He’s seriously still a brat. Rainy-san wasn’t serious because it was just an exam right? I heard she also didn’t really use her skills.」

「So what. That person’s monstrous strength can snap apart the average adventurers even without using any skill y’know……」

It looked like the story of how I beat Rainy-san in the exam had been quickly spread. Now we gathered a lot of attentions.

Fortunately Alicia was always hiding her face so their attentions were only focused on me which was good but……I don’t really want to stand out too much like this.

Well, if I planned to gather accomplishments as adventurer so that I could receive permission to use the item for breaking Master-Servant Contract, then I should be prepared to gather attention to some degree. I guess it couldn’t be helped about that. And my priority was also to become so strong that I would be able to chase away anyone who tried to take Alicia back…….

And it would be hard for people of the capital to find us as long as Alicia’s appearance and skills were kept hidden anyway, so I drew the line there and started looking for the right quest.

Just like Goudo-san warned me yesterday, first let’s start from easy quest as a warm up.

The board was divided based on difficulty level. As I focused my stare on it,

「……Erio, this.」

「Eh……wah, Alicia!?」

*Shubabababa!*

Alicia picked several quest posters with astonishing speed and held them out in front of me.

Furthermore all of them were quests with the right difficulty level for our warm up.

I was shocked by Alicia’s excellent selection. But what shocked me even more was just how motivated Alicia was.

「W-what’s the matter Alicia? It’s a big help but, somehow you look really motivated aren’t you?」

She had never acted like this before. Could it be that she actually had a dream of being famous as adventurer? When I asked her the reason while thinking that, Alicia replied to me with a mutter.

「……Erio, is rapidly getting stronger. After watching the exam yesterday, I thought. I also need to defeat a lot of monsters to catch up to Erio.」

Was that a feeling of rivalry in Alicia’s own way?

I was bestowed with utterly disgraceful Gift like Incubus but, thanks to that Alicia who was superior to me in everything since the past now saw me as a rival. When I thought that, I felt a bit honored.

As I was rejoicing by the unexpected effect of this utterly disgraceful Gift,

「……If I don’t quickly get stronger and catch up, I won’t be able to push down Erio at noon forever.」

Alicia was still the same Alicia.

I too had to keep growing stronger properly. Not just so I could continue to stay together with Alicia, but also so that we wouldn’t plunge into a life of indulgence where we did nothing but copulating for the whole day……!

I chose a quest that Alicia picked with a slightly bad premonition.

The quest we picked was gathering the skins of ten forest wolf (around level 11).

The time limit was within three days.

Perhaps because of the effect of the recent strange appearance trend of the monsters, the reward of this quest was quiet high even though it was a relatively easy quest.

It seemed that normally forest wolves were spread out in a wide area around the city, so we decided to wander around aimlessly to search for them. Our wandering would also help us in grasping the terrain here.

But there was something that I wanted to do before that.

It was checking Alicia’s current strength.

I didn’t think that we would immediately encounter monster that could threaten us who managed to annihilate a swarm of Armor Ants, but just like the guild master Goudo-san warned us, we didn’t know what could happen out here.

It was necessary to have an understanding of what kind of skills the Sacred Knight have and how strong were they at the present time.

Even if it wasn’t as unknown as Incubus that was a completely unheard Gift, Sacred Knight was also a legendary Gift and so information about it was few…….

And so just like several days ago, we went inside the forest to prevent anyone from watching and Alicia showed her status plate.

Alicia Blueaiz Human <Sacred Knight> Level 10

Skills in possession

Physical Enhancement [Maximum] Lv 2

Swordsmanship Enhancement [High} Lv 1

Area Detection Lv 2

Care Heal Lv 2

Sacred Defense Lv 1

Demon God Killer Lv 1

「Uhaa……」

Alicia had showed it to me once at the inn, but I was still astonished when looking at it again.

There were numerous skills there that really deserved such admiration.

Something like Swordsmanship Enhancement [High] should be a skill that only veteran warrior possessed. And Physical Enhancement [Maximum] should be something that could only be reached by top class close-quarter Gift that had been trained to the extreme.

It was extraordinary that such skills manifested as initial skills.

It wasn’t just for show that this Gift was treated as legendary.

All the skills were cool things that shouldn’t even be compared with my Incubus. I’m jealous…….

「Besides, this one, Care Heal, it’s healing magic right!? I heard that holy knight can also learn support magic but, this is a really high class healing skill isn’t it?」

Way to heal was precious in battle.

Just in case there was potion that anyone could use as a way of healing but, it wasn’t something that could be consumed over and over in a short time. On the other hand, healing magic wouldn’t cost you money and there wouldn’t be any problem even if the magic was applied to someone over and over in a short time. It was a very excellent skill.

「……Yes. But, it manifested after we saved Sonya-san and others and I immediately tried it out but, it wasn’t really useful.」

Alicia said that with a disappointed look.

Eh? She had tested it? Was there ever a time someone got injured before this that she had to use the magic……I wracked my brain trying to remember, then

「……I tried using it after sex but, my stamina didn’t recover.」

「I-I see……」

That was close……!

If this healing magic was a type that recovered stamina, Alicia whose lust was already bottomless right now would be powered up even more……!

But well, if that was the case then this skill must be a type that was effective for external wound. I once also read about a skill to heal abnormal status with similar name, so perhaps it also had that kind of effect.

It would be dangerous to intentionally get injured in order to test that, so let’s try asking a place like church later where the sick and injured gathered. If we asked them to allow us to train our skill to heal for free, many people would be happy. It was an arrangement that also often happened at the capital.

「Then next is……I wonder what is this Demon God Killer?」

If I’m not wrong this Sacred Defense is a wide area defense skill that normal Holy Knight could also learn. It was a powerful skill that laid out a wall of magic around the caster to protect themselves and their friends from various attacks.

But this skill with dangerous name of Demon God Killer was something that I had never heard before.

「Is it Sacred Knight’s unique skill? Let’s try using it a little.」

「……Yes.」

Alicia pulled out her sword.

It was the high quality sword Wind Cutter that Weips-san kindly gave her.

Alicia checked that there wasn’t anybody around using Area Detection before swinging her sword at a nearby tree.

「……Demon God Killer」

*ZUGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA!*

「Tsu!?」

I was instantly speechless.

Because the moment Alicia lightly swung her sword, the tree in front of her was blown away.

Furthermore it wasn’t just the single tree Alicia aimed at.

Several trees at the surrounding were all blown to pieces together. It was an absurd strength.

「T-that’s amazing Alicia! You have healing and defense skills and even the attack skills is this powerful……isn’t it a bit unfair!?」

I was dumbfounded by the immeasurable strength that the legendary Gift possessed.

But the person herself only looked somewhat stoically and,

「……Thank you. But, not yet. It can’t be compared with Erio’s skills at all. My level is also still 10.」

「No no! That’s only because Incubus is somewhat strange, and Alicia being level 10 already is also strange enough!」

Anyone could reach around level 30 quickly without problem.

But even that 「quickly」 normally would take around one year. Leveling up once per week was already considered as good.

But Alicia was already level 10. Considering that to reach it she only got into two battles against man-eating boars and Armor Ants, it was an impossible growth speed.

This was also the reason why strong Gift was powerful.

Because the base status and manifested skills of such Gift were powerful, the person could easily defeat powerful monsters right after they received their Gift, causing their leveling up speed to be in a different level too.

In that sense Alicia’s growth speed was also monstrous enough but……thinking of that made me realized once more just how absurd Incubus was……. At the beginning I even leveled up by 1 just from a single shot of masturbation…….

W-well, let’s just ignore that.

「For now we already understood Alicia’s skills and strength to some degree, what’s left is to test it in real battle. Let’s do our best with the quest.」

「……Yes.」

Like that we began exploring the forest.

Alicia’s Area Detection skill also played a big part. We managed to get the skins of ten forest wolves without any trouble.
