chapter 17
The distribution of roles in the process of returning to the academy guild came naturally.
First of all, Stella, who has the best physical strength among the three, assumed the body of the giant boa lying on the floor.
Lulu, who has a high understanding of the material, takes the severed head of a giant boa.
I picked up Dyke’s greatsword, which was moderately heavy.
In fact, it may not be necessary to retrieve it, but there is nothing bad about keeping it.
A thing that has no owner anyway. It was enough to sell it to a weapon shop if it was necessary.
It took about 30 minutes to get into the forest.
In the same way, he returned to the hunting guild after spending 30 minutes.
If it was originally, it would have taken more time as much as the weight of the increased burden.
It didn’t take much longer because Stella’s steps were quick to drag the dead body of the heaviest giant boa.
It must have weighed well over 100 kilograms by itself.
No matter how much she said she had reduced her weight with wind magic, it was possible because Stella herself was naturally strong.
Without her, it would have ended in a futile hunt that would have ended with only carrying Boa’s head as a result of the hunt and extracting only the necessary materials.
Certainly, I felt fortunate that Stella was there even in the process of coming back.
As soon as we entered the guild with the body of the giant boa, the attention of the staff and students inside was focused on us at the same time.
As soon as we asked for disassembly and purchase, the receptionist hurriedly contacted us.
The dismantling of the Giant Boa was carried out by the engineering students who arrived shortly after.
The dismantling work at the academy guild has been used as a teaching material for practice by students of the Department of Technology for the development of student abilities.
Therefore, the rarer the material and the more difficult it is to dismantle, the lower the dismantling fee.
The experience of participating in the dismantling of rare materials would be a career that students who major in dismantling would rather pay for and build.
“Do you really want to see this giant?”
“Seeing the real thing for the first time. It looked like this.”
“I only groomed goblins and kobolds every day. I never thought I would be able to touch a giant boa before graduation… .”
Each of the dismantling teams who saw Giant Boa gave different opinions.
Five or six members of the dismantling team, mostly fourth graders, rushed at the giant boa’s entire body, and the giant boa’s body gradually began to be divided into flesh, skin, and internal organs.
“… … Ugh.”
A small moan escaped from Lulu’s mouth, who had been silently watching the dismantling process with her mouth open.
It felt like my body was itching in front of a precious material, and I was twisting my body.
Soon after, I started asking questions of the guild manager in charge of the dissolution and purchase.
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Ah yes. Please speak. Would you like to take out the materials you need without selling them?”
“It’s not like that. I want to participate in the dismantling, but can’t I? I’m in my second year at the Technical Department.”
As soon as Lulu showed the black badge, the symbol of the Ministry of Technology, the guild manager’s face spread benevolently.
“As much as you like. The student also contributed to the hunting of the giant boa, so if you want to participate, of course you can.”
“Then excuse me too.”
As soon as the words were over, Lulu, who changed into a dismantling suit, instead of approaching the dismembered body where many students had gathered.
He approached BoA’s head, which no one had touched, and took out the knife without hesitation.
“Wait a minute, Student Lulu.”
“Yeah?”
“Since the head is a difficult part to dismantle, our guild’s professional dismantlers will dismantle it. Have you ever dismembered a giant boa’s head before?”
“There are just boas, but this is the first giant boa.”
“Then I recommend leaving it alone. You don’t want LuLu to make mistakes during disassembly and lose important materials, right?”
“… … .”
It was a much refined expression, as if admonishing students, but in summary, it was this.
It was said that beginners should not make it impossible to use the difficult part for no reason, but quietly participate in the easy part.
Lulu’s expression, which had brightened for an instant, turned a little sad.
As soon as I sensed her disappointment, the words spontaneously came out of my mouth.
“It’s okay, just do it.”
After hearing my words, the eyes of Lulu and the guild manager focused on me.
In the previous life, it was almost Lulu’s role to dismantle our party.
Although he is still a student, he also knew that his skills were almost perfected at the time of his first year.
Instead of hurting her feelings. I was entrusted with dismantling the giant boa head to check my skills.
“Conrad?”
“If it gets damaged during disassembly, you don’t have to buy the head. We still own it anyway.”
“… Still, why not work with a professional dismantler? The material and leather of the head of the giant boa account for most of the ransom, so if it is damaged, the price will fall significantly below the estimate.”
“Fine. If that happens, you can assume that it never existed in the first place.”
The guild manager’s expression was shaken, but it seemed that he had already concluded that he would not be able to break my determined attitude.
“All right. We are not responsible for damaged materials, so do as you please.”
“Did you hear that, Lulu? You can use it however you like.”
“Uh, uh… ?”
I’ve been negotiating with the guild manager and getting permission.
Lulu, who had overheard the price, started asking me with embarrassment.
“Gwa, are you okay? Aren’t I ruined because I’m wrong?”
“I won’t hold you accountable for being broken. It’s ours anyway, so you can dismantle it however you like.”
“… Ah Okay. Then, I will do my best.”
Lulu nodded cautiously at my words.
Immediately approaching the giant boa’s head, she began dismantling it delicately and quickly.
The part where the color of the scales changed was precisely cut with a dagger, and the first thing to do was to separate the scales from the head.
After accurately cutting the flesh where the poison sac was hidden, I carefully took it out and put it in so that it wouldn’t explode.
Soon after, the eyes, fangs, and teeth were sorted out one by one, and the disassembly was completed perfectly without spilling even a single drop of blood.
Even I was stunned and focused on the neat movements without any superfluity.
“Huh, it’s over. I was a little nervous.”
When all the work was done, Lulu wiped her sweat with one arm and looked around.
“uh?”
Everyone in the guild was already focused on one Lulu.
“yes? What, what? What… ? Why, why is everyone staring at me?”
What is it?
Everyone is admiring your skills.

“Huh, huh, huh… .”
A man with a height of more than 2 meters desperately crossed the center of the Demon Forest.
The deep wounds left on both thighs were gradually widening.
However, it was impossible to slow down the steps to escape.
“Damn it! Damn it! Holy f*ck shit!”
every step you take.
The man moaned at the pain rising from his thigh and spat out curse words.
“What the f*ck is this about that damn bastard!”
It was a plan that undoubtedly should have worked out as it was.
He planned to stab the guy who was tired from hunting monsters and return to the guild with his prey as his spoils.
If you leave the dead body in the forest, the monsters will take care of it.
After all, there were only two witnesses: a freshman in the first year and the technical department without combat skills.
Because I thought that if I cut only Conrad, the rest would be no match.
‘You said the last fight wasn’t your strength?! Besides, can you memorize nine spells at once?!’
Even if the gap widened, the one-sided violence that widened Dyke went beyond being overwhelmed by Conrad Perdalos and even had a feeling of fear.
Dyke, remembering the last look in his eyes, trembled quietly.
“That bastard. It really was a killer look.”
It was a life where I lived a lot of grudges, big and small, so I had a knack for figuring out if the other person really had the intent to kill.
Conrad Perdalos, whom he faced in the forest of demons, revealed to him the murderous nature that would not be strange even if he clearly crossed the line.
He could figure out that if he did something wrong, what was really on his neck would almost disappear.
“You damn bastard.”
As soon as his excited head cooled down and the confused emotions were sorted out, a disturbing feeling began to sprout again in Dyke’s head.
“That damn bastard. Why are you expelling me and talking nonsense?”
And then, tirelessly, he immediately began to devise his next plan to get revenge on Conrad.
“Wait and see, kid. Next time, borrow an artifact from Professor Oliver and put an end to it… .”
Something heavy hit Dyke’s body as he headed towards the guild muttering to himself.
Dyke’s body, which had been distracted for a moment, bounced slightly from the shock.
“What, shit. Were there any trees here?”
“Gwuuu… .”
“uh?”
It didn’t take long before he figured out that the object he was ejected from was not a tree.
A humanoid monster larger than Dyke, said to be a giant among humans.
A 3-meter adult orc was staring at Dyke, who had gotten hit and walked away.
“Yeah, it just went well.”
Even though the orc is a huge and strong monster, Dyke was also a person belonging to the axis of the strong within the academy.
An orc wandering alone can be sliced at once with the greatsword he always carries… .
“Oh, f*ck.”
There must have been, but his sword had to be dropped due to the battle right before.
Swear words came out of Dyke’s mouth when he finally realized it.
“You are lucky, you. Consider it fortunate that I left my sword behind. If it wasn’t so, even you would completely slaughter… .”
It was a monster that wouldn’t even start a fight unless it attacked first anyway.
Dyke pretended to be relaxed, turned his back on the orc, and tried to walk in the direction of the guild.
“Oohhh!!!”
puck. Along with the sound, the sound of something being crushed by the orc’s club was heard.
The orc, recognizing the first shock that hit his body as a preemptive strike, mercilessly struck the target with the club he was holding.
“Ooh! Whoa! oooh!”
Dyke’s body, hit by the stick, began to be crushed from the inside.
Still, Dyke was lucky.
Because he lost consciousness after the first blow to the back of the head, so he didn’t have to feel the pain of breaking his bones from dozens of sticks that followed.
“oooh… .”
Eventually, the excitement subsided and the orc returned to the orc colony with his spoils.
In the spot where the 4th year of the swordsmanship club was. Soon there was nothing left.
