Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

『Grand Boar Coat』: A coat made from the pelt of the wild boar that can use earth magic called 『Earth Boar』 that was caught by Shimokawa and Co during their survival travelling in the resort area before reaching the school tower. Since it raises proficiency when using earth attribute spells, it becomes exclusive equipment for Randou-san. And since it is an exclusive coat for her, Randou-san has gotten all fired up with its design. Thanks to that, it has become an extremely fashionable coat that Randou-san is satisfied with. As a result, it has become a luxurious item due to all the other materials invested when making it.

『Ghillie Suit-Wasteland Style』: The third iteration of my handmade ghillie suit series, Ghillie Suit Mk 3. It comes with a mantle that can create a hue to adapt to Yamata no Orochi's nest. Alas, I will not be the one who would be wearing this, it would be Takanashi. Since sage is completely useless in combat, I made this equipment to hide her from the gargoyle. The person herself is clearly reluctant to wear this, but hey, does she even want to fight in the frontline against Yamata no Orochi?

『Ice Veil Robe』: Just like the coat exclusively for Randou-san, this robe is made for the spellcaster of the robe's attribute. Meaning, this robe is the exclusive robe for Class Rep, the cyromancer. It isn't made from the monster of ice attribute. The 『Ice Crystal』 that she created using her 『Freezing Alchemy』 turned out to be an excellent material that raises her proficiency in using ice spells.

『Leather Boots』: Until how long do you think we would be using our indoor shoes?… Thus, these shoes had to be made as soon as possible. It took quite a lot of time to make this since we were lacking the materials. We had no problem with leather since we could use all the monster's hide for that, the problem was the lack of rubber which was used for the shoe sole. We only managed to get the rubber after we found a Trent-like monster plant that looked like a rubber tree. Thereafter, we asked Takanashi to refine the rubber with her alchemy. And just as expected of the sage, her level of alchemy is on a whole different level. In this way, we made our long-awaited new shoes.

『Leather Glove』: The demand for this one was relatively low compared to shoes, some still asked for gloves. It's not like I need to wield a sword, but it is necessary to protect my delicate skin during the experiments. Alas, my skill with alchemy isn't good enough to make this, I could finally use Takanashi to make this item.

『Shaman's Exclusive Glove「Cursed Hexa」』：Exclusive equipment rings a nice bell in my ears. Using my status as male class rep, I made exclusive equipment for myself. Though it still uses leather as its base, it is the thimble type that I yearned for when in elementary school. Moreover, there is a hexagram embroidered on the back of the glove. With this, I can finally use my curse with my hand as the starting point.

『Toughness Shirt』: Shirt made from tough pelt which softened to the point that it can be used as underwear. Despite being underwear, it actually raises its wearer's defense a little bit. Equipment for everyone.

『Crystal Shirt』: Shirt made from the glowing pelt of 『Crystasaurs』, a rare monster we encountered during the first expedition in the desert area. Defense aside, it raises proficiency in various parameters related to magical power. Since it is a one-of-a-kind material, we could make enough for everyone. Thus, it is given to all the members of the spellcaster vocation who are particularly weak in terms of defense.

That is the summary of our equipment.

Those without exclusive equipment were equipped with accessories with great performance. As for who had to equip what, it was discussed during the classroom meeting to prevent anyone from becoming dissatisfied later.

Nevertheless, not everyone is equal, some tend to get favorable treatment depending on their role during the battle and ability. For example, the exploration team that had miraculously brought back the 『Droplet of Life』 that they found during one of their explorations.

After a long discussion, we decided to give this magic item with cheat-like healing capabilities to Souma-kun. Well, that was only natural I guess since he was the core of our strategy. As for me, I wanted Mei-chan to keep that item but that would be selfish.

Anyway, now that everyone got their equipment, their combat potential was naturally raised to a new level.

「――Maybe it's time to do the first trial challenge」

It took quite a while, but we finally cleared the minimum clearance for challenging the Yamata no Orochi, raising everyone's combat potential. So it was the right time for trial and error.

「Is what I think, what do you all say?」

「Bring it on.」

「Yeah, I agree. This is the right moment for a trial challenge.」

「Do as you like.」

The ones who agreed with me were Class Rep, Souma-kun, and Tendou-kun.

This wasn't a class meeting, it was a private discussion between the four of us. I gathered the representatives of the group in the class beforehand to ask for their opinions before the real meeting. Since this was a private meeting, we naturally used the fifth floor of the school tower.

「From Souma-kun's perspective, can every vanguard in the class handle the head of Yamata no Orochi?」

「Hardly, if they have to fight by themselves. Give two or more than three just to be safe.」

Great, when we tried to fight Yamata no Orochi after arriving in this area, everyone was overwhelmed at once. Meaning that we made some progress compared to back then.

「But that's only if they're facing just one head. When two or more heads appear, they have to shift their focus on avoiding the breath attack that's being fired randomly.」

「Well, I guess two heads is an overkill.」

Even if we managed to create lite potion for emergency treatment, that breath attack was instant death. We would become nothing more than bloody stains on the ground if those gigantic heads fell above us, and those breath attacks would instantly reduce us to cinder.

「That's why Momokawa-kun, do you think we can win this?」

「We can't.」

Class Rep didn't say anything upon hearing my curt reply. Souma-kun seemed to have lost his cool and almost lashed at me… Before he retained his composure at the last moment and opened his mouth to ask me.

「Explain the reason, Momokawa.」

After cohabitating with Souma-kun in the school tower, it seemed he had gained some resistance against my words.

The him from before would flip out and maybe pounce on me and try to kill me immediately.

「Because this is just the bare minimum preparation to fight Yamata no Orochi. I've yet to find the sure-kill way to subjugate Yamata no Orochi. That's why I said this is just a trial challenge.」

Since this wasn't an RPG game with a proper method to defeat the super boss, we had to figure it out ourselves via trial and error. That's why we had to take a wait-and-see approach.

Fortunately, Yamata no Orochi didn't move an inch from its nest. In fact, it had yet to move until now. According to my observation so far with my shadow, it was eerily silent.

It hadn't transformed into a boss. Meaning, it was waiting for us.

「Our goal is to see how much we can do in our current situation. And then look for a way to temporarily subjugate it. Even if we fight it, we will only observe it. In short, we're conducting field training.」

「I see, that makes sense.」

「I also want to analyze that fella.」

「Do as you like.」

Great, I managed to get everyone's approval.

「Then, let's depart tomorrow.」
