Boy Who Has Been Reincarnated Twice Spends Peacefully as an S-Rank Adventurer

The character name is not finalized. The character name will be fix once the official English translation light novel is release.

In order to show my ability to everyone, I was the one to take on the horde of High Trolls alone, but by subjugating the monsters without issue, I was somehow able to get them to acknowledge me.

“But it’s strange for a horde of High Trolls to appear in a place like this. In the first place, these guys aren’t supposed to go near human settlements or roads.”

Rody is tilting his head, looking at the High Trolls’ corpses. It’s true now that he mentions it.

“Hmm, it might be related to those ruins.”

“If that’s the case, we need to hurry with the investigation before the surrounding villages are harmed.”

“Right.”

And, it was at that moment, when a new policy was decided.

“Oi, look at that!”

An adventurer who was scouting the surroundings points in a certain direction and raises his voice. We were also led to look in the same direction, and we could see smoke rising in the distance.

“Is that… smoke?”

The smoke was rising from the foot of the mountain, ahead on the road.

“That’s… the direction of the first camp!?”

At Wanda’s words, the adventurers raise a clamor.

“The first camp!? Don’t tell me there’s trouble!?”

“What do we do? Send a scout?”

“No, it’s obvious something is happening. We should also hurry to join them. Our objective is the exploration of the ruins, so we have to head to the camp anyway.”

The opinion to act cautiously and the opinion to hurry, since they were heading there anyway, clashed.

“Then I shall go.”

And, the one who volunteered to scout was the S-rank senior, Celestial Magus Ramies.

“I can use the Lost Magic, Flight Magic. I should be able to get there faster than advancing by carriage.”

“Can I ask you to?”

Wanda seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he immediately accepted Ramies’s proposal. That quickness in decision-making is to be expected from someone taking command in an S-rank restricted zone. A competent commander is wonderful.

Whoops, I can’t. This isn’t the time to be impressed.

“Um, I can also use flight magic, so may I accompany you?”

“I can use it too.”

We’re the newcomers among these members, so if there’s something we can do, we have to step up.

“What did you say!?”

When Liliera and I stepped forward, for some reason, Ramies’s face looked startled.

“Y-you can use flight magic too!?”

For some reason, Ramies is surprised, but I wonder what’s wrong?

“Yes, I intend not to be a burden.”

“Understood. Sorry about this after a battle, but I’ll have you two scout as well.”

Receiving Wanda’s permission, we were to proceed ahead to the first camp.

◆

“I see it, that’s the camp.”

We, who had flown ahead, confirmed the sight of many tents enclosed by a square wall at the foot of the mountain, and the monsters swarming it.

“This is bad, a part of the wall is broken!”

I notice that a corner of the wall protecting the camp has been destroyed, and try to hurry over.

“W-wait! You two are too fast!”

When I looked back, Ramies’s figure was quite far behind. Oh? Could it be that Ramies isn’t good at flight magic?

“Sorry, the camp is in danger, so we’ll go on ahead!”

“O-oi!!”

“Let’s go, Liliera!”

“Yes!”

We didn’t wait for Ramies to catch up and headed for the camp.

“W-what is that speed!? Faster than me, the foremost expert in flight magic!?”

Nn? I thought I heard Ramies say he was good at flight magic, but maybe I misheard?

◆

Arriving at the camp, we witnessed the scene of a chaotic battle.

“Let’s hurry and defeat the monsters!”

Liliera descends from the sky and rescues an adventurer who was about to be killed by a monster. I want to join in right away too, but maybe repairing the broken wall comes first.

“Protect Stone Wall!”

I create a new wall with stone wall magic in place of the destroyed wall. The monsters that tried to pass through the hole in the destroyed wall are sent flying by the stone wall that shot up from the ground, tumbling into the monsters behind them.

The monsters that were sent flying angrily attack the wall, but it’s not just a stone wall. Due to the effect of enchantment magic, it has become a wall harder than iron.

As expected, the attacking monsters’ claws broke.

“Alright, that’s the emergency measure complete.”

But the walls other than the breached one are also under attack, so I’ll reinforce those walls with stone walls too.

“Furthermore, Protect Stone Wall!”

By covering all four walls surrounding the camp with stone walls, the monsters became unable to invade the camp. All the monsters are desperately hitting the wall or scratching it with their claws, but there’s no sign of the wall breaking. Rather, the monsters’ claws were becoming tattered.

Alright, now if we just defeat the monsters that got inside the camp, we can hold out here.

“I-I finally caught up!”

Just as I was thinking of joining the battle, Ramies arrived.

“What’s the situation!?”

“The wall protecting the camp was destroyed, so I repaired it with magic. Now, if we just annihilate the monsters inside the camp, we can hold out until the others behind us arrive.”

That’s right, given that a camp composed of A-rank adventurers is struggling this much, there’s no need to forcibly fight the enemy. I think the correct answer is to secure the safety of the camp and then wait for the others.

“Is this any time for such a lukewarm approach? From the looks of it, a considerable number of monsters have entered. We should annihilate them all at once!”

Saying so, Ramies begins to chant an incantation.

“O thou who dwells in the great river of flame. Thy form, a serpent of molten rock, a conscious flame bringing forth embers that drip like blood. Obey my will and incinerate my enemies, Lava Snake!!”

Bright red lava appears in front of Ramies, changing its form into a giant serpent of lava. This is a tracking-type attack magic that imitates a living creature. W-with this magic…

“Now, Lava Snake! Wipe out the monsters that have invaded the camp!”

The great serpent of flame attacks the monsters assaulting the camp.

“I can’t let you!”

That magic won’t do!

“Frost Gale!!”

I use ice wind magic to cancel out Ramies’s magic.

“W-what!? My magic!? What did you just do!? My magic is Lost Magic, you know!? There’s no way it can be canceled by mere ice wind magic!?”

“More importantly, that magic will burn down the camp too! In the worst case, it’ll drag in the adventurers we’re supposed to be saving!”

However, Ramies scoffs at my suggestion.

“Is this any time to be saying such soft things? A camp protected by A-rank adventurers is being overrun helplessly, you know! In this situation, if we don’t annihilate the monsters, even if it means accepting some sacrifices, we won’t be able to save even those who could have been saved! Or are you saying that in the middle of this chaotic battle, you can attack only the monsters without dragging in the adventurers!?”

“I can!”

“See… what!?”

Ramies raises his voice in surprise at my declaration.

“T-then show me! Show me you can defeat all of these monsters! If you can!”

“I’ll show you!”

I position myself in the sky above the center of the camp and activate my magic.

“Hydra Venom Stake!”

The unleashed magic branches off into many, increasing as if they were the necks of a hydra. And the magic stakes attack, aiming only for the monsters inside the camp.

The monsters pierced by the magic stakes scream in pain.

“It’s no use! That level of damage won’t be enough to finish them!”

Saying so, Ramies begins to chant an incantation to attack the monsters. However, I stop him.

“It’s okay. It’s already over.”

“What?”

Ramies was skeptical of my words, but his expression changed when the monsters on the ground started moving strangely.

“What!? What happened!?”

The monsters that were showing strange movements collapsed to the ground, writhing.

“Hydra Venom Stake. As you can see, it’s magic that attacks the enemy by extending its necks like a hydra. But that’s not its only effect; it’s magic with an added effect that causes the opponent it hits to die from a potent poison.”

“P-potent poison!?”

“This magic was devised to instantly annihilate disaster-class monsters that multiply rapidly in a short period.”

“Disaster-class monsters that multiply rapidly in a short period? …Don’t tell me, the legendary monster that destroyed the capital of Bamiam in a single night, the Infinity Mouse!?”

The Infinity Mouse, a mouse-type monster that multiplies at an outrageous rate, laying eggs once every five seconds. Due to that nature, it seeks a large amount of nutrients, so it’s said that any town where the Infinity Mouse is discovered is destroyed overnight. By the way, it’s not a metaphor, it’s literally destroyed in one night.

This magic was developed to exterminate such Infinity Mice. If it lays eggs once every five seconds, then you just have to kill them at a speed that surpasses that. It’s a very simple theory, which is nice.

Yep, of course, the one who made it was me in my previous, previous life. And the birth of the Infinity Mouse was a huge failure of the magic technicians at the time. Honestly, I wish they wouldn’t make others clean up their failures.

“I-I can’t believe it. The magic that subjugated that legendary monster actually existed… No, that’s not all! Just what level of precision in magic control would… and the magic power consumption must be horrendous.”

“Ah, the control is an application of detection magic. With this, I pick up only the monster reactions. And the magic power consumption can be suppressed considerably by assembling an efficient formula.”

For example, a type of magic that consumes the magic power in the air.

“Assembling a formula!? Are you saying you can create magic!?”

Hearing me talk about assembling a formula, Ramies shows a look of astonishment. No, no, ‘create,’ that’s a way of talking as if I were a god.

“It’s not that difficult a magic. The basics are the usual tracking magic…”

“W-wait, wait a minute! I’m getting a memo… okay, good! Please continue!”

It seemed Ramies was done preparing his memo, so I was about to resume my explanation, but.

“Hey, this isn’t the time for that! There are injured people, so hurry up and go rescue them! You can use recovery magic, can’t you!!”

Liliera, who had returned, thundered at us, who had almost gotten lost in a magic discussion.

“”Sorry!””

I can’t, I can’t, I just got absorbed in a technical discussion for the first time in a while. We hurriedly headed to treat the wounded.

“Still, that’s some magic. Between that and the previous battle, I can accept that you’re the youngest S-rank in history. Kukuku, this will be fun later.”

“Eh?”

The atmosphere of Ramies, who said such a thing, had none of the harshness from before; rather, it was very gentle.

Could it be, his use of the lava snake magic back there was an act to gauge my power? Yes, it’s not an impossible story. There’s no way a nominal S-rank adventurer couldn’t handle this number of monsters.

I see, it was a plan to gauge my true worth by forcing a choice in an extreme situation immediately after I let my guard down from the fight with the High Trolls. As expected of an S-rank adventurer, even their way of assessing ability is Spartan-style.

“Alright! Time to get fired up again!”
