"Huh?"

In the carriage of the carriage, Sheen, who had no intention of speaking again, suddenly moved his expression and turned his gaze in one direction.

(Enemy...) Is it? ）

Sheen's [Enemy Perception] skill reacted and told Sheen that an enemy had appeared.

(The reaction is not very strong, the level should not be high, and there is only one.) ）

Sheehan was quick to make such a judgment.

However, Sheehan did not warn Vivien and the others.

After all, he is currently a rookie adventurer who has not even learned a skill, and he casually reminds him, but he is afraid that he will be suspected afterwards.

Therefore, Sheehan is ready to observe quietly and wait for the opportunity to move.

It's just that Sheen underestimated everyone in Vivien's team a little.

"-Vivien!"

In the next second, Thier, who had been silent, suddenly raised her head, and spoke in the direction of the driver's seat of the carriage in a voice full of vigilance.

“......！”

Vivien, who was driving the carriage, immediately tightened the reins, and stopped the carriage at the sound of the horse's long neighing.

In the carriage, Lumia and Merika had already stood up and entered a state of alert.

Looking at this scene, Sheen was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

(Have you already spotted the enemy?) ）

Sheehan glanced meaningfully at Thier, who had jumped out of the carriage.

I'm afraid this girl also has the same skill of [Enemy Perception] as Sheen, but unfortunately the skill level should not be high, and it took so long for Sheen to detect the enemy's location.

Vivian and the others knew this very well, and immediately alerted Tielle at the moment of her warning, and reacted so quickly that people felt worthy of being adventurers in a squad, full of tacit understanding.

So, Sheen followed behind Lumia and Merika, carrying the package and the sword, and jumped out of the carriage as well.

The crowd gathered in front of the carriage and looked at Vivien, who was calming the restless horse.

At this time, Vivien's face was calm, and her eyes fell on Sheen's body.

"Look over there, Sheehan."

In the direction Vivien pointed, a rock was moving slowly, and at last it turned into a huge stone statue as if it had straightened up.

"It's a monster named Gorem, which was originally just a rock mixed with special magic minerals, but because it existed near the source of magic power, it was affected by the magic that flowed through, and finally metamorphosed into the existence of a monster."

Vivien said to Sheehan like this.

"Some magicians will also use magic to make this kind of monsters, by driving them to fight and work, they are also monsters that may appear in any place, the higher the level, the larger the size, if it is some secret realm of Gorem, its body may even contain precious minerals, so it will be coveted by many people, but there are also Gorem who mimic the roadside rocks like this, and attack when someone passes by."

Of course, there must be very few magic minerals doped in this gorem's body, and the level will be very low, otherwise it will not leave the source of magic power that inhabits and come to the side of the road to attack humans.

"They are aimed at caravans transporting minerals and adventurers like us who carry weapons and equipment made from precious metal minerals, and devouring these metal minerals is the best way for them to increase their strength, level up, and gradually deteriorate their bodies."

Vivien looked at Gorem, who was starting to run this way, and spoke to Sheen.

"Looking at the size of this gorem, its level should be around fifteen, not more than twenty at most, so it won't be a dangerous opponent for you."

This sentence made Sheen instantly understand Vivien's plan.

"It's up to you." Vivien said to Sheen, "Let's see how good you are." ”

This is the first test after becoming an adventurer and joining Vivien's team.

Sheen sensed that it wasn't just Vivien, but even Tier, Lumia, and Merica were all focused on her.

Ahead, the heavy footsteps of Gorem, who looked like a giant made of rocks, were approaching.

"Understood."

Sheen nodded to the crowd, and as he walked in the direction of Gorem, he drew the sword at his waist and held it in his hand.

One person and one rock are so close to each other that the distance is shortened.

Vivien, Tier, Lumia, and Merica watched quietly from behind.

Feeling the sight behind him, Sheen was thinking about it in his heart.

(What level of strength should I show?) ）

Since it's a rookie adventurer who hasn't even learned a skill, he definitely can't show too high combat effectiveness, right?

(First of all, [Extreme Change] cannot be used, and it cannot show resistance skills, so it cannot be hit.) ）

Unlike active skills like [Extreme Change], which need to be used by yourself, resident skills will take effect permanently from the moment they are acquired, and you can't choose to use them or not, in this case, in order not to expose these resident skills, Sheen can only try to avoid being discovered.

Secondly, the means of fighting need to be slowed down, not too much, and you must also pay attention when evading, so as to hide the [God of War] and [Avoidance] skills.

As for the Holy Sword, of course, it must not be used.

(However, I can't be too clumsy.) ）

Otherwise, if Vivian and the others think that their strength is not good and they have no potential to become an adventurer, then the results of the assessment will not look good, and in the end, their goal of becoming an adventurer will be frustrated.

Therefore, Sheen needs to show a certain amount without overdoing it, and at the same time has to try to hide his many skills so that he does not show his feet.

（...... It's too hard for me. ）

Sheehan felt uncomfortable in his heart.

But the monster didn't understand Sheehan's feelings, and under the heavy footsteps, he had already rushed in front of Sheehan.

"Come on."

Sheen could only shake off the various thoughts in his heart, concentrate his attention, and stare at Gorem in front of him.

The next moment, Gorem, who rushed in front of Sheen, raised his heavy arm and sent a huge rock-like fist to blast Sheen.

The [Avoidance] skill reacts immediately, instigating Sheen's body and allowing Sheen to dodge.

However, in order not to reveal his skills, Sheen could only refrain as much as he could, and only when Gorem's fist slammed in front of him did he twist his body at a very close distance, deliberately dodging the blow with a rather rusty movement.

Suddenly, a howling wind blew over Sheehan's body.

"Bang!"

With a loud roar, Gorem's heavy fist grazed Sheen's body and landed on the ground, causing the sand to roll up as it shook.

At this time, Sheen, who flashed to the side, suddenly moved, and saw the moment Gorem fell into a state of stiffness after the attack.

"Bell!"

With the sound of percussion, the sharp sword slashed in an arc and slammed into one of Gorem's feet, causing Gorem to fall to his knees.
