JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES, PARTY OF NONE

EPISODE 3: THE JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES SPEAKS OF HIS IDEALS

I was banished from the Heroes' Party because I was weak.

That's what the article in today's newspaper said.

I knew this would happen, but did it have to happen now?

How many people will still trust me after reading that article?

Did you see today's paper?

Orhun was banished from the Heroes' Party, huh?

And because he was too weak!

He said yesterday that he was the one who left.

If he was banished, the truth would be totally different...

Morning.

Orhun!

G-Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning...

Good morning.

Morning.

Totally different from yesterday.

Well, after all the bragging she did on my behalf,

I can understand why they're confused.

Orhun!

I'm so sorry! I had no idea!

Selma...

There's no reason for you to apologize.

If you can't get yourself under control, our teaching expedition will be a failure.

But I used you to inspire the new recruits so much yesterday...

I should've been more careful.

I'm fine.

I should apologize for causing trouble by not being clear.

I'll back you up during our dungeon delve,

so hold your head high like you always do.

All of you, as well.

Orhun...

But it's true that Orhun made it to Floor 94, right?

Even that's incredible!

So we're not worried at all.

That's right.

You were just fine yesterday, too.

Show us more of the same today.

Okay. Leave it to me.

Good morning, Orhun.

Morning, mister!

Morning.

Morning, everyone.

You know what was in today's paper, right?

That article's full of lies!

Yeah, none of that matters!

Is it true?

Well, the vast majority is.

If you're asking if I was too weak, the answer is yes.

So I'm not the hero everybody expects right now.

Sorry for not telling you.

No... What's going on here?

But you were strong!

You defeated over a dozen orcs in an instant!

I know you're not too weak!

Sophia...

Thanks.

Like she said, I do have enough strength to get you to Floor 51.

I'm no hero anymore, but as Orhun Dura, just an explorer, I swear...

I'll protect you.

So I want you to do your best on our dungeon dive, just like you did yesterday.

Okay!

What the heck?

I feel like an idiot for getting excited.

SOUTHERN GREAT DUNGEON, FLOOR 21

Today we're going from floor 21 to floor 35.

But we escorts won't be giving any instructions

until we get to the middle floors, starting on Floor 31.

Until then, it'll be just like yesterday,

with the new recruits taking the lead.

FLOOR 24

FLOOR 29

Well done, both of you.

Hooray!

They still believe in me.

Good.

FLOOR 31

We've reached the 31st floor.

I'll be giving the orders from now on.

I need to stay sharp.

I sense monsters ahead.

Everybody ready?

Yes.

Yup!

Caroline, draw the goblins' attention.

Roger!

Same as ever...

Sophia, you take the orcs in the back.

O-Okay!

Logan, boost them with magic...

Agility Up.

Technical Up.

Magic Up!

His orders are the ones that anybody would give.

Maybe he's nothing special after all.

Well, it doesn't matter.

My job doesn't change.

That'll take care of Caroline.

As for Sophia...

What are you doing, Sophia?

She said she was attacked by orcs before.

Don't tell me she's too traumatized to move.

He's not going to help her?

I can't count on him after all.

I'll have to save her myself...

Agility Down.

It's fine.

You've got your comrades Caroline and Logan, as well as me.

You're not alone now.

So stay calm and give it your best.

Okay, I will.

Fire Javelin!

No one told me she could use advanced magic...

Sophia, you're amazing!

I'm glad it worked!

Well done.

That was a good attack.

Thank you!

That debuff on the Orc, and Sophia's advanced magic...

Wasn't he banished from the Heroes' Party?

What's going on here?

FLOOR 35

A D-Death Tarantula?!

We're not strong enough to fight that thing!

Now what?

Logan, give Caroline an Agility Up and a Durable Up.

And Sophia a Magic Up.

The same orders as always?!

Idiot, that's crazy.

Wait.

Why? Caroline is...

If you go to the front, you'll be at a disadvantage.

Jump over it while you slash at its back!

Roger!

Good.

Caroline, keep it focused on you.

It's venomous.

Watch its attacks carefully and make sure you dodge.

Okay!

Hey! Hey! Over here, Mr. Spider!

Logan, Caroline's mobility is depending on you.

Support her.

Okay!

Sophia, you pin him down.

Got it!

Aero Cutter!

Got him!

Not yet!

Logan, give Caroline a Strength Up and Technical Up!

Huh? Why?

Hurry.

Okay!

What is this?

What is this?

I can't break out...

No!

Caroline, cut the webs with your daggers.

You're strong enough now.

Okay, I'll try!

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Did he give those orders 'cause he knew this would happen?

Sophia, prepare a Rock Arrow.

Okay!

Logan, give Sophia another Magic Up.

The last one's about to wear off.

Okay!

I don't think I can do this, Mister!

Right now, Logan can only use three spells at once.

Fine.

Sharpness Up.

I did it! I'm free!

Okay. Sophia.

Okay! Rock Arrow!

Yay!

Sheesh.

We did it!

We sure did.

Logan, this worked because of your support magic.

You were incredible!

Nicely done.

Thank you.

Okay, we're heading back.

Okay!

Well done, everyone!

Tomorrow's our last day!

Make sure you get enough rest to be ready for it!

Now, dismissed.

Yes ma'am!

Hey, Orhun, got a minute?

Hey.

Yeah, sure.

What is it?

We're going to get something to eat.

Want to join us?

They don't really seem to be bothered by me.

Good.

Thanks.

I'd love to join you.

Okay, let's go.

Anything you want to eat?

Nothing in particular.

Then let's go to the place we always go.

Then let's go to the place we always go. We didn't get much of a chance to talk while exploring,

It's pretty good. so it might be a good opportunity.

so it might be a good opportunity.

Hey, you said Orhun saved you a while ago, right?

Yes. Three days ago, in a newly discovered dungeon.

Was he all alone?

Y-Yeah...

Then tell me all about what he was like.

I don't know what to tell you...

Do you remember what spells he used, or how he fought?

Hmm...

There was this incredible wind blast he used...

What else?

He also did what looked like powering up his sword with support magic.

Sharpness Up, yeah.

That's a support spell you use on weapons, not people.

He used that today, too!

My daggers got a whole lot sharper! I was surprised!

Was he using a sword when he saved you?

Yeah, he was slicing through the orcs!

So he can fight with a sword, not just magic?

I don't really know why,

but he said that after leaving the Heroes' Party, he... "converted"?

To being a front-line attacker.

He converted?

That doesn't make sense.

He was acting like the perfect enchanter today...

Sophia, prepare a Rock Arrow.

Okay!

Caroline, cut the webs with your daggers.

Logan, give Caroline a Strength Up and Technical Up!

Okay!

I misunderstood this morning.

When I learned he'd been banished from the Heroes' Party,

I was disappointed

and angry, like he'd betrayed my expectations for him.

But in the battle with those orcs...

Orhun secretly used Agility Down.

Agility Down.

A spell that lowers its opponent's abilities.

A so-called "debuff."

I've heard that even Selma rarely uses them.

They're that hard to use.

But Orhun seemed to use it easily.

And then our battle with the Death Tarantula on Floor 35.

That was the first battle when I realized the importance of formations.

Hey! Hey! Over here, Mr. Spider!

Hey! Hey! Over here, Mr. Spider! If the defender keeps the enemy distracted,

the attacker and supporter can stay focused on their next move.

Logan, Caroline's mobility is depending on you.

Support her.

Sophia, you pin him down.

That's the ideal way to fight.

Plus, he knew exactly when the buffs on his party would end.

Logan, give Sophia another Magic Up.

The last one's about to wear off.

And he even predicted the Death Tarantula's last attack.

He was reading where the battle would go and giving the perfect orders!

He was far above me.

So why would he convert to being a front-line attacker?

Is he strong as a front-line attacker, too?

I think so!

Like I said this morning, he took down over a dozen orcs in an instant!

That's amazing!

I want to be that strong soon, too!

Yes, I'm going to get stronger too!

Okay, let's do our best!

He's a good front-line attacker too, huh?

I guess that's what a real genius is like.

I won't give up, though!

I'll steal everything I can from him and get stronger.

Logan, you've got a scary look on your face.

Tired?

No.

I was just psyching myself up for tomorrow.

You're all ready to go, huh?

I'll psych myself up too!

Me too!

The food here is always amazing!

We'll pay today. Get anything you want.

Thank you.

You were in the Heroes' Party, though, so you must've partied a lot.

Not at all.

I did all the errands and busywork,

so I didn't have much time to have fun.

I see.

Sounds rough.

Then that makes that article even worse.

There was no need to put it all like that.

Agreed.

You should just forget it.

Just hearing you say that makes me happy.

Thank you.

You were an enchanter in the Heroes' Party, right?

When we first met you said you were a front-line attacker, though.

I was curious about that too.

Which is it?

Right now, I use a sword.

I converted when I left the party.

May I ask why?

I used to be a swordsman in the Heroes' Party, too.

I wanted to be one more than anybody when I was a kid.

I was so happy when I got the position.

Something you wanted since you were a kid, huh?

Maybe a parent was a swordsman? Was that why?

Not a parent. My grandfather.

He was a former explorer, and when a monster appeared in our village one day,

he defeated it with a single sword.

Seeing that made me want to be a swordsman.

I see.

But if you wanted to be one so badly,

why be an enchanter?

It happened when we started going to the lower floors, and our pace started to drop.

The monsters get a lot stronger when you go down there, yeah.

Yes, so of course we were going slower.

But at the time, we didn't understand that.

Since we wanted to move on quickly,

we started thinking about enchanters,

which were getting popular at the time.

And since I was a jack-of-all-trades who could do anything,

I was the one we chose.

For party reasons, huh?

But that got you all the way to Floor 94,

so it was the right thing to do, right?

No, it wasn't a good way to do it.

Even if I did switch, we should've slowed down, gotten stronger.

What...

What are you talking about?

Sorry, I'm being a bit harsh on my old party.

I can't say any more than that.

The chance the Heroes' Party will be able to get any further than Floor 94 is zero...

So, what's your ideal swordsman?

You could tell us that, right?

That's right.

I would say an amazing jack-of-all-trades?

Basically, a swordsman who could get through even the lower floors on his own.

That's what I want to be.

I'm sure it'll happen.

Knowing you, yeah!

Our teaching expedition ends tomorrow!

That'll be goodbye to him, huh, Sophia?

Yeah.

I won't be seeing him anymore after tomorrow.

If only he'd stay with the Night Sky Rabbits...

Why not ask him?

If you ask him, he might.

That's too selfish. It wouldn't work, anyway.

Really?

If you ask him, he might.

Just like Selma does.

Orhun isn't like my sister!

But it'd be sad to never see him again...

Maybe I will ask him.
