Six Sweaty Musclemen. My Classmates Are Being Converted!?

“You work fast, big bro. You’ve already made it to the fifth floor of 〈Jungle〉? And you even brought back all the required materials. That’s perfect work—I’m impressed.”

“Yeah. Feel free to praise me even more. I plan to clear 〈Tropical Forest Dungeon〉 by the end of today.”

The morning after Hannah and I first challenged a lower-tier beginner 〈Shocker〉, I visited 〈Patch Seal Sticker〉, where Marie-senpai worked, to deliver the items for that quest.

Today was my first day off since coming to the academy. It was Saturday.

For me, since I could skip classes, every day felt like a day off. But Marie-senpai had classes like normal, so she usually wasn’t at the guild in the mornings. On her days off, though, she apparently spent most mornings at the guild, so I’d shown up first thing to deliver the quest items.

I’d only completed about one-sixth of the quest’s deliveries so far, but I planned to bring things in regularly and report my progress. I could’ve waited and delivered everything at once, but I could only carry so much, so I planned to make frequent deliveries after each dungeon trip and keep as much space free as possible.

“You really are amazing. The 【Hero】 Job is something else... Normally, even in a lower-tier beginner 〈Shocker〉, you’d form a five-person party, explore for a week, and only then challenge the boss.”

Well, that was probably true for a dungeon you’d never explored before.

But I was the man known as a database for having explored every corner of 〈Dan-Katsu〉.

I knew every route by heart, so I never got lost. I always took the most efficient path, and I knew everything there was to know about the monsters. That was why I could make progress so quickly...
