Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer
Vol. 4 - Ch. 126 - 126

"Something is not right with this amount of experience points......"

Even as the world was drowning in the festive mood of this holy night, Tenji was analyzing his Book of Enma, placed on the study desk in his room.

The book was shining with a warm light, and next to it, vapor rising from the hotmilk placed there. He confirmed the temperature with his lips to see if it had cooled down enough before drinking down the whole hotmilk.

Puah Tenji exhaled a warm sigh as he turned the page. He was looking at his status page.

His experience value, which was lying at <1,011/3,125,000> yesterday's afternoon, had suddenly shot up to <481,059/3,125,000> in just the span of one and a half day.

It was a whopping <480,048> points difference. Pp

It was impossible for him to keep an eye on the Book of Enma all the time so he would occasionally check the last subjugation page --- which was getting updated with entries one after another --- of the Book of Enma and then write it down.

(It's just my guess, but this means they have cleared 2200 third grade and 100 second grade monsters. Even by the simplest margin, it means they are taking down 1 monster every 40 seconds.)

The changes had been so drastic in this one day that he felt like he suddenly couldn't catch up with everything.

The 62th floor not only didn't have any explorers, it was also a floor where unhandled monsters were rampant.

On Tenji's side, he had 215 hell beasts organized into 20 squads. They all were someone who were foreign to the concept of requiring sleep, so they were fighting all this time without needing to rest.

With all these three points combined, it would have instead been strange if the result was any lower.

Of course, Tenji understood what was happening, but understanding was one thing, and accepting another. Tenji felt like that climber who had been diligently climbing a steep mountain when he was suddenly presented with a smooth, obstacle-free road stretching before him. It would be a surprise if he wasn't flabbergasted by the sudden development. Either way, the sudden development had left him a bit unable to get accustomed to it.

"At this rate, I will level up next in..... five and a half days."

Tenji's heart was currently embroiled between the 'happiness' and 'fear' emotions. He had spent around three months since coming to Mallorca to finally level up from 1 to 5. And now, that same record was being upturned. As they say huh, happiness comes unannounced. Needless to say, it was a joyous matter for him

However, a part of his heart was scared at the same time. He couldn't help but wonder, just where was his future heading towards? But he was also scared to find the answer to this question. As far as it concerned him, he wanted to earn the money for his sister. He didn't desire much, just to have nice food and that's all.

However, his reality was much more intricately woven, his heart was also cocooned inside the vague apprehension, as if he was heading toward a future no one was sure of. Recalling back, he started to have such thoughts after hearing the word 'Nine Kings' from President Limey.

"But if I have to say......I am more happy than anything else."

Tenji murmured, as he stared at the bright midnight moon hanging in the summer nightscape visible from the window of his room, his mind envisioning his possible future---What kind of explorer was he going to become?

It doesn't sound bad to wield his strength to protect the world, like the Chariot Guild. It was pretty cool in his opinion. Ah, but he was also impressed by Leon to see him stand firm in his own conviction.

Or, piling up achievement after achievement and then becoming a teacher figure, like his teachers who he was indebted to, doesn't sound bad either.

He also admired the work of helping out the one in need, poor like Mushtafa-san.

But if there was something he admired more than anything, it was single-mindedly battling the monsters and living in the dungeon as a true explorer.

Explorer---was just a word to define them, however each one had their own goal and guiding principle that varies greatly. Tenji still hadn't found a definite answer to what kind of work he want to do after graduating from the school as an explorer/

However, if anything, there was this inkling brewing inside his heart he was absolutely sure of.

"......<The world is going to show a change when the nine kings appear> huh."

As of now, the closest entity to <Nine King> in his immediate vicinity was <Phantom Beast King> Kurou Fuyuki.

And------

"The hell king, I didn't think my fate would turn out like this."

One of these days, he would surely become a real king. Tenji had firmly grasped that vague future with his own eyes.

(T/N - Fuyuki’s calling had the word beast in it, so going by this and his power, Phantom King Beast is more context accurate.)
