Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Lefiya completely forgot her purpose for learning concurrent chanting in the dungeon since she had been fighting the minotaurs, but she knew this wasn’t an excuse for her, considering the minotaurs were only a monster that was similar to a Level 2 adventurer, and she was a Level 3 adventurer.

Lefiya was so depressed, and her long ears dropped slightly, showing how depressed she was.

“What is concurrent chanting? Is there a difference with normal chanting?” Tsukasa knew everyone in this world needed to chant their magic before they could use it, especially after he talked with Tiona last time.

When Tsukasa walked together with Tiona, he learned many things from her.

However, Tiona’s specialty wasn’t magic, so her knowledge in that area was quite limited.

Lefiya and Line were different since those two could use magic.

Tsukasa didn’t look at Lefiya and looked at Line when he asked this question since he knew this girl was more reliable.

As expected, Line quickly solved Tsukasa’s curiosity by answering what concurrent chanting meant.

Usually, when one was using magic, they would stand in a place and focus all of their attention on their magic, without any distraction since if one mistake happened, they would receive a backlash, which caused them to be unable to control the magic on their bodies before causing it to explode and damage the user.

This condition was named Ignis Fatuus.

There was also a condition where one overused magic, causing them to faint. This condition was known as Mind Down or Mind Zero.

It could be seen from this fact alone that it was hard to use magic.

Only the chosen one and the majority of the special races that had an advantage over magic, such as elves, could use magic.

On the other hand, there were two types of magic: congenital magic, magic based on one’s own ability and race, and acquired magic, magic based on the Falna given by the Gods and Goddesses.

It might not be related, but there was even a school for magic in this world.

While Tsukasa wanted to visit the school, he knew it was faster to become stronger by going to the dungeon. It could also give him money, and it took a while to get to school, so the choice was obvious, right?

Now the question is, what is concurrent chanting?

Line explained that concurrent chanting was a high-level technique involving casting magic while fighting or moving around.

“…”

Tsukasa was silent before he asked, “Is it difficult?”

“….” Line and Lefiya.

Tsukasa didn’t understand whether it was really difficult to use magic while moving around or fighting. After all, he could mimic Tiona’s magic easily with his cube while moving around, so he didn’t see a reason why others couldn’t do it.

‘Oh, right!’

Tsukasa almost forgot his exceptional ability to learn anything, so he knew he couldn’t apply his case to others.

Line let out a sigh slightly, but she also understood why Tsukasa didn’t seem to understand, considering he had just arrived in the Orario for a few days and his specialty was a sword, so it was normal for him not to know about magic, especially when he asked her many things about magic before. In other words, this guy had a completely blank knowledge regarding magic. “Of course, it is difficult.”

“But it’s like doing a multitask, right?”

After all, the concurrent chanting was just casting magic while moving around or fighting.

In other words, it was just multitasking, right?

“It isn’t that simple!” Lefiya puffed her cheeks, seemingly furious, and told him how difficult concurrent chanting was.

Listening to Lefiya’s explanation, Tsukasa also realized how difficult it was for other people to cast magic. In her explanation, concurrent chanting was like carrying a bomb while walking on the path of fire.

In simple words, it was extremely dangerous.

Tsukasa nodded, then asked, “Do you want to train it now?”

“Eh?” Lefiya was surprised and asked, “Is that okay?” After all, they were a team, so she wondered whether it was okay for her to be selfish, and stop their hunting, so she could train on concurrent chanting.

“Well, I am also quite curious about your magic, and it will take a while for me to become a Level 3, so I want to take it easy,” Tsukasa said calmly.

“….” Line stared at Tsukasa speechlessly since she wanted to beat him up, considering it had been a while since she became a Level 2 adventurer, and of course, she wanted to become a Level 3. Still, she had a feeling that while she didn’t want to, she knew Tsukasa would beat her first and become a Level 3 first.

“While I am alright, what do you think, Line? Are you okay with it?” Tsukasa asked.

Line looked at Tsukasa in surprise before she smiled gently and nodded. “I am alright. Also, if we hunt monsters again, my bag might not be enough.”

Tsukasa and Lefiya looked at Line’s bag that was brimming with magic stones and items dropped from the monsters.

“Still, is it my imagination, or are we quite lucky that we have gotten so many drop items?” Lefiya asked while tilting her head.

Line didn’t say anything and looked at Tsukasa. While she didn’t have evidence, she had a feeling everything might be related to him.

“Let’s just say we’re lucky.” Tsukasa only smiled since he didn’t really want to tell them about his “luck” ability. Still, he must admit this ability was amazing since the drop items, which were rare to get, could be gotten easily. If people knew about this ability, they might trouble him, and boasting about his rare skill to everyone was just pointless. He didn’t see a meaning behind it besides causing trouble.

“Lefiya, why don’t we train your concurrent chanting?” Tsukasa asked with a gentle smile, trying to change the subject of the conversation.

“…..”

Lefiya looked at Tsukasa, who smiled gently at her and couldn’t help but blush while lowering her head shyly. While she knew she had given her love to Ais, she must admit this beast was so handsome that her love for Ais was shaken.

Line also felt similar since she felt it was better to throw away her old love and embark on her new love.

The two felt the maze turn into a flower park, and everything turned pink. They felt they might have fallen in love with him. However, at this moment, they didn’t realize what kind of devilish training they were about to do.

—

“Uwaaa! Help me!” Lefiya cried while running away from a group of monsters.

“Lefiya, don’t run! You have to face them.” Tsukasa shouted, ignoring the fact that Lefiya was chased by three monsters. Instead, he just sat on the large rock while shouting at her mercilessly.

“….” Line, who was on the side, could only stare at this scene in a daze since what had just happened before was just stark contrast, and her feeling was extremely complex.

“Yo-You are a devil!” Lefiya cried even harder when Tsukasa and Line didn’t do anything. They let her be chased by a group of monsters and thought Ais was the best!

‘I-I definitely won’t fall in love with this devil!’

Lefiya made her vow, and she definitely wouldn’t fall in love with Tsukasa!
