"Fufu, fufufu, fufufufu一一"

"A devil. He's a devil."

"He's an all out demon...... H-How dare he say that to 'us'! Not even ‘our’ parents have ever scolded ‘us’......"

So strange. All I had done was just give them advice and yet, the three of them are now acting the same as Saturn-kun.

I didn't expect their mentality to be as fragile as a glass! That totally startled me!

In the end, they began to clamour like ‘Show your strength if you think we're so incompetent’ and coincidentally, there was a group of three goblin who had come to attack us just then so when I killed them with normal attacks only, they suddenly turned quiet. Rather, they have gone down on their knees.

Hmm, I have also grown up quite well. This feeling didn't come just from my high level status, I feel like I have greatly improved my player's skill too.

In contrast to the exhilaration I was experiencing from my gains, the rest of the four members were so depressed that they were now digging a hole in the ground, as if they wanted to bury themselves in it.

Did I… said too much?

"Zephyr-san. What in the world has happened here?"

Mona, who has just returned from his harvesting journey, asks in an astonishing tone as he gazes at the spectacle of four adult boys prostrating and pushing their faces on the ground.

"I don't know. I just gave them advice on how to efficiently use their jobs and maybe this has made them realise how lousy they are... Probably."

"Ah, I see~. It's because you're just that amazing, Zephyr-san. I can still vividly recall the shock I had received when I first read the memo given by you."

Mona looks at them with a look of understanding, has he also experienced something similar?

Anyway, this doesn't seem to be the end for the four pompous young matters who always had their noses high up in the air. For they were now glaring at me and gritting their teeths.

"Lousy...... What gall you have to say this great sorcerer Saturn is an incompetent!"

"Fufu. I can't overlook this statement by any means."

"I will let you know the consequence of underestimating me, just you wait!"

"You're the first to ever push ‘us’ to such an extent!"

Ohh! I should have expected this from Class 1 boys. They have already revived and brimming with even more competitive spirit than ever!

"I am impressed by your spirit! Very well, I will be your guide today, so do your best to become stronger!"

Thus, I also decided to act as a proper guide to meet their enthusiasm.

It's just, I saw a glimpse of a gloomy shadow from them for a moment no sooner had I said so. What was that... Despair? Grim resolve? I felt like I saw such emotions on their faces, it should be my imagination.

The feeling was cleared by Saturn-kun who said in a resolute tone.

"Kuh!? ...no, there's no way the great sorcerer would ever lose! Fine, I will show what I'm made of by withstanding your so-called guidance!"

The other three followed suit once Saturn-kun finished up his words.

"Fufu, fufufu. I will not lose either. Don't think I will let you steal the head start, Saturn."

"I will not lose eeeeeither!! I will show you no one is more powerful than me in this group!"

"How careless of you to forget ‘us’. Relish in the fantasy of yours as much as you want, for my strength will make you realise how naive you once were!"

Hmm, are they trying to say I will not lose to my rivals? The other three follow up to motivate themselves. It's nice to be young.

Fine. I was trying to be considerate by matching their pace since it's my first random party, but seeing their fervent desire to learn, I guess I will give them a helping hand here. We're friends from the same class after all.

I don't have much time since it's a random party, I hope they can last till the end with how many things there are I need to instill in them.

All right, let's begin the training!

"Haven't you eaten enough, Saturn! Look how your aim is! Try harder! And stop relying on upper tier magic!"

"Guuooooooh! <Flareeeeeee>!!"

Saturn-kun aimed his magic at the goblin, but as his aim was weak, it went off the mark even before the goblin could avoid it. Goblin naturally avoided it smoothly and Saturn-kun magic was all for naught.

I have asked Saturn-kun to attack from the rearguard position since a while ago but his aim is much worse than I had thought. I feel like the reason why he always strikes up from vanguard position was to cover up his flaws.

<Flare> is a one-shot kill magic against opponents like goblins, though it also means nothing if it doesn't hit anything.

Saturn-kun has made this far only because of the difference in overwhelming firepower his job provides and that all his opponents are small fries. If this continues to go on like this, he would be useless in Intermediate dungeons for sure.

It would be better to correct such mistakes now than letting him go on as usual.

By the way, the three members are all vanguard so there's no such flaw in them. That's why they have shown visible growth in the last few hours under my guidance. It's just, I don't know why they look desperate half of the time.

The only one who hasn't shown any sign of growth at all is Saturn-kun.

"Shiiiit! You think you got me! Goooooo <Mega Flareeeeeeeree>!"

Saturn-kun's temper finally won over him as he ended up using middle tier magic. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Though it didn't hit the goblin. To no one's surprise.

"Noooooooo!?"

With a shriek, Saturn-kun slumped down on his knees.

I guess depression level broke past the limit he could endure when not even the attack he poured all his might hit his opponent.

"I'm Saturn, the great <Great Sorcerer> Saturn. I'm Saturn一一一"

At last, he even begins his monologue facing the ground. Maybe, the partner is just right to hear his nonsense?

"Hmm. Well that's the natural course if you don't practice before entering the dungeon."

He's out of commission at his current state. But it's quite amazing of him to have come so far on the contrary.

Also, the gaze of vanguards hurt.

"Fufu, you have made him succumb to depression again, haven't you?"

"What a terrifying devil."

"‘We’ can endure it because it's ‘us’. But of course, anyone else would be reduced to such a state under such spartan training."

What? I don't think it's that tough though?

If anything, it's just a warm-up.

Saturn-kun, who had emptied his MP, in the end was asked to retire there and only the vanguard followed up after that point.

In this way, in the evening, We finally managed to arrive at the dungeon's deepest safety point.
