I love time travel the most!

Huihui said weakly.

Aqua suddenly realized, "I remember now, Explosion magic is the ultimate magic that drains all the caster's magic power and physical strength, so it's normal to have such a reaction."

"What? Oh, it's like this."

Kazuma Sato breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Megumin, your magic is indeed very strong, but it's easy to accidentally hurt your teammates and it also puts a huge burden on your body. It's best to avoid using it in the future. If you want to contribute to the team, use other magic."

"I won't."

Huihui answered very decisively.

"……What did you say?"

“I said, I don’t know how. I only know explosion magic, and I don’t know any other magic.”

"really?"

"it is true."

Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded.

He had mistakenly thought that Huihui was trying to show off her Explosion Magic, which was why she used that move.

Unexpectedly, she didn't just not use other magic; she simply didn't know it at all.

Are you kidding me?!

A grand mage who only uses explosion magic—can such an eccentric archmage really exist?!

"Then you should study..."

"Don't even think about making me learn any other magic!"

"Learning other spells might make the adventure a little easier."

"No, I won't! I'd rather die than learn explosion magic! I'll only learn explosion magic. I was born for explosion magic, and I'd rather die than learn any other magic! I only love explosion magic! Even if I can only cast it once a day, I will become an explosion magician!"

Huihui's declaration was deafening and resounded in everyone's hearts, leaving the team stunned.

What stubbornness and obstinacy!

Despite having such excellent innate qualities, she could easily achieve great things on the path to becoming a Grand Magus, but this chuunibyou little loli refuses to accept it no matter what.

Judging from her resolute tone, it will probably be difficult to persuade her to change her mind.

Aqua and Darkness admire Megumin's persistent efforts, especially her dedication to physical training to transform her body into something comparable to metal, which resonated with them.

"Great idea! That's a fantastic idea!"

"That's right, Huihui, I have high hopes for you!"

Finished!

Kazuma Sato realized something was wrong; if things continued like this, they would form a united front on their own, and the team would face more trouble.

He quickly looked at Xiaolin.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Senior Kobayashi, didn't you say that Megumin's magic is very strong?"

"Isn't it strong?"

Kobayashi gestured with his chin, indicating that he should look at the terrain that had just been altered by the explosion magic.

"She's very strong, she's definitely very strong!"

Kazuma Sato was a little unsure how to describe it, and said anxiously, "But don't you feel something's wrong? Her strength is suspicious!"

"I've said it before, I'd call her the strongest in terms of explosion magic, but beyond that..."

Kobayashi didn't continue, but Sato Kazuma understood.

"Does that mean you're not even as good as an ordinary person?!"

"Without a doubt, it's a complete burden."

"is that a lie……"

Watching Megumin being poked by Aqua with a small stick, Kazuma Sato had already labeled her a useless problem child.

Kobayashi carried the exhausted and limp Megumin on his back and said to the female knight beside him, "Alright, it's Darkness's turn next."

"Huh? Me...me..."

Darkness's cheeks were slightly flushed, and he spoke haltingly.

Aqua patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, it's just about showing your strengths and abilities. Darkness, you can do it."

"I'm not nervous."

"……Um?"

"Darkness, you bastard..."

Although no tests have been conducted yet, everyone is well aware that Darkness is a problem child on par with Aqua and Megumin in terms of personality.

Kobayashi, of course, wouldn't let the perverted knight succeed.

He was prepared.

“Darknis, in order to bring out your full strength, I have specially selected an evenly matched opponent for you.”

"An evenly matched opponent?"

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of the team members.

Darkness may have a somewhat twisted personality, but the armor he wears and the stats on his adventurer card don't lie.

The crowd had high expectations as to just how strong her equally matched opponent was.

……

Farmland west of the city.

Kazuma Sato covered his forehead with his right hand, disappointed. "I was really looking forward to it, thinking it would be some powerful monster, but it's just a wild boar!"

"To correct you, it should be a mad wild boar."

Kobayashi retorted.

In the nearby farmland, Darkness was fighting a ferocious wild boar with bloodshot eyes.

The wild boar's angry growls contrasted sharply with the blonde female knight's flushed, excited panting.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~"

“Hiss—ha—hiss—ha—”

Darkness gripped the thick tusks with both hands, swinging them back and forth as the boar's head moved.

But no matter how much it shook its head, it couldn't shake off Darkness's strong and powerful hands.

Amazing grip strength!

Incidentally, this situation has lasted for two hours. The fact that Darkness can hold out against the crazed wild boar is enough to show how terrifying his stamina is.

Kazuma Sato couldn't wait any longer.

He shouted, "Darknis, stop dawdling and finish it off!"

"No, I can't do it!"

The same answer as someone else.

Kazuma Sato was furious: "Just stab it in the body with your longsword, what's wrong with that?!"

But he didn't know that Darkness had a fatal flaw.

That means you can't attack the enemy at all.

"I'm very confident in my physical strength and defensive abilities, but unfortunately, I'm not agile enough to hit the enemy! So, I can't do it!"

"Are you kidding me! What kind of knight would do that!"

No wonder his internal crisis detector issued a warning when they first met. It turns out that Darkness, like Megumin and Aqua, is an incurable problem child, both internally and externally!

Just then, something unexpected happened in the farmland.

Suddenly, the wild boar cunningly bent its front hooves downwards, causing the force coming directly at Darkness to lose its balance and instinctively take a step forward.

The wild boar seized the opportunity and suddenly pushed upwards, instantly sending Darkness flying into the air.

"Wa ...

"Darkness!"

"Danger! Help!"

"No, I can't use magic anymore!"

The team members were immediately panicked, but they had no idea what to do.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~"

The wild boar held its head high, like a victor, and made a triumphant snorting sound.

however--

What it didn't expect was the immense impact a girl fully armed in steel armor would have when she descended from the sky.

"Wa ...

Boom!

Amid Darkness's gasp, she slammed her head down on the wild boar, killing it instantly.

Yes, it was that dramatic.

I thought the blonde female knight who fell from the sky would be seriously injured from the fall, but to my surprise, she dusted herself off and stood up as if nothing had happened.

Kazuma Sato was utterly speechless.

"Senior Kobayashi..."

"As you can see, Darkness's body hardness is indeed comparable to the hardest Adamantium ore in the world. I'm not lying."

"Is this a question of whether or not to lie?!"
