Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Chapter 240

It had been a week since Tsukasa went to the dungeon with Lefiya and Line. Unlike before, under his training and guidance, the two became stronger and more confident.

Lefiya could use the concurrent chanting well when she fought monsters on the middle floors. She also learned Tsukasa’s movement technique made her able to move around and dodge the monsters without fear. However, it was normal since she had been chased by minotaurs many times that she couldn’t count it.

While Lefiya was full of grudges against Tsukasa, she also tried her best since she knew if she did well, her head would be patted. It wasn’t that she wanted him to pat her head, but if she received one, she wouldn’t reject it.

However, Lefiya had heard her beloved Ais-san had become closer to Tsukasa. She hadn’t confirmed it, but she was afraid this news was accurate.

If so, she needs to confirm it!

‘There’s only one truth!’

Lefiya suddenly put on her glasses and pointed her finger at Tsukasa.

“…” Tsukasa and Line.

The two had gotten used to Lefiya’s antics, so they didn’t say much.

Still, Line also became stronger. Tsukasa might not have taught her martial arts, but she had been taught a survival way of fighting. By using everything to support and fight her opponents, which greatly enhances her strength.

Tsukasa knew Line’s IQ was high, so it was quite easy to teach her. Still, her fighting talent wasn’t that good, so instead of relying on weapons, it was better to rely on her brain. However, a minimum knowledge of martial arts was necessary, so he taught her how to throw, which gave her better accuracy and a way to hide, choose a blindspot, and many others.

Without a doubt, Line was so grateful to Tsukasa, and if he pushed her, she wouldn’t even push him and might cry in enjoyment.

The metaphor aside, Tsukasa must admit his life in the past week was so eventful.

In the morning, Tsukasa trained his swordsmanship with Ais. After that, he went to the dungeon with Line and Lefiya. When he returned, he would spend a night with Ais before going to Loki to start his treatment and play together with his goddess. Lastly, he went to the library to have a night lesson with Riveria.

Oh, Tsukasa almost forgot to mention, but Tiona also came to interrupt him from time to time.

His day was so full that he was amazed he could handle all of them without making a mistake.

It might be part of his experience as a scumbag. However, frankly, he didn’t do anything wrong, so everything was quite smooth. Furthermore, while his relationship with all of those girls became closer, they weren’t his lover, so there was no point in worrying too much.

Still, what was amazing was his improvement in his knowledge of magic. Under Riveria’s tutelage, she was amazed by his understanding. If her magic wasn’t being limited by a race and could only be used by an elf, she would teach him without hesitation. However, Tsukasa was a human, so it was impossible for him to use her magic.

Tsukasa didn’t say the fact he had already learned Lefiya’s magic. It was better to observe Lefiya using her magic silently, learning all of the elf magic from Lefiya. After all, Lefiya had magic known as “Elf Ring,” which allowed her to use any magic used by an Elf, so long as she knew the chants and effects of said magic.

Tsukasa told Lefiya to use all the magic she knew and secretly learned all of them from the side. He knew he was being sneaky and felt like he was deceiving a candy from a baby. However, it is better not to think too much and focus on getting stronger.

While the magic in this world wasn’t that powerful since it was mostly related to elemental magic such as fire, lightning, wind, and other elements, it had other unique magic such as a barrier, support magic, and also healing magic. The effect of those magic might not be much, but if he added his original ability by increasing the efficiency of those magic, what would happen?

It would be scary, right?

Still, Tsukasa watched the two who became stronger, faster, and faster and thought about Loki’s words.

‘Do I have the ability to help my teammates get stronger?’

Tsukasa rubbed his chin while wondering whether about the possibility of this technique, but then Line interrupted his thought.

“What’s wrong, Tsukasa?” Line asked since she wondered what Tsukasa was thinking.

Tsukasa looked at Line and said, “By the way, what’s on the 17th?” While they might have been hunting on the middle floors, they had never entered the 17th. Also, they never went to the 16 Floors since the monsters on that floor were similar to those on the 15th floor. Instead of wasting time walking, wasn’t it better to go to a nearby place?

However, Tsukasa knew from Line’s mouth that the 17th floor was quite special, but he hadn’t talked about the details since he didn’t think it was necessary. However, he felt his improvement was too slow, so he thought to go do the deeper floors.

Hearing this question, Line didn’t think too much and answered, “There should be a Monster Rex.”

“Monster Rex?” Tsukasa looked at Line curiously.

Line nodded and explained what the Monster Rex was.

The dungeon might produce an unlimited amount of monsters. However, there was a special monster that was only reborn after a moment of the period. Those monsters were called Monster Rex.

“On the 17th floor, there is a Goliath Monster Rex,” Line said.

“Monster boss, huh?” Tsukasa instantly felt how this world really reeked of the RPG element. “What kind of monster is Goliath?”

“It’s a monster with a large body that reaches seven meters and has gray skin.”

It wasn’t Line who explained this. Instead, it was Lefiya who had finished her routine.

“Should it be there now?” Tsukasa asked.

“Goliath is probably still there,” Line said after she recalled the news of the Goliath on her mind. After all, as a supporter, it was necessary to gain all the information around the Orario, considering it might help her teammates.

“Okay, let’s fight it,” Tsukasa made up his mind without hesitation and said, “Come on. Let’s go to the 17th floor.”

“…..” Lefiya and Line.

“Wait! Wait!” 2x

Lefiya and Line quickly caught Tsukasa’s arms.

“What’s wrong?” Tsukasa asked with some confusion.

“Are you crazy?!” Lefiya roared.

“Lefiya is right. Goliath is comparable to a Level 4 adventurer. Waltzing there is just asking to be killed!” Line also said with a serious expression.

Lefiya and Line knew Tsukasa was strong, but they didn’t think Tsukasa could defeat the Goliath!

“Lefiya, Line, do you want to get stronger?” Tsukasa suddenly asked.

“….” Lefiya and Line were in silence since, of course, the two wanted to become stronger.

“You should know if you want to get stronger, you have to fight someone stronger than you. I might be weaker than the Goliath, and if I hunt monsters on this floor steadily, I can become stronger without a doubt. However, if I fight the Goliath and win, I can become stronger and faster. Also, if we can’t win, we can just run away, right?” Tsukasa said.

“…..” Lefiya and Line thought for a moment and knew if Tsukasa wanted to run away, no one could stop it even if he brought the two of them with him. The two could only let out a long sigh and agreed.

“However, if it’s dangerous, we must run away!” Line said without hesitation.

As for Lefiya, her thought was simple since she only needed to blast the Goliath with her magic, that’s all.

“I know. Thanks for the reminder,” Tsukasa said and knew everything could happen in the dungeon since he also had seen many people had lost their arms or feet. Worse case, they died because they were careless, so Line’s worry wasn’t exaggerated.

Still, Line and Lefiya also didn’t think too much of the Goliath since it wasn’t their first time seeing it, and they had seen many stronger monsters in the dungeon, so they knew they would be alright.

Tsukasa wasn’t sure, but watching their expression, he felt they had raised a flag. However, he welcomed the flag in that way. He could become even stronger. “Let’s go.”

Lefiya and Line nodded and followed his steps from behind, though they couldn’t leave him behind somehow.
