The Noble Lady Without Magic Aims to Become an Adventurer! - Chapter 94

“Wind Shot? I’ve never heard of that spell,” Arnold-senpai said, clearly intrigued.

“It’s a spell that someone in the Zero Division developed. It’s a type of wind magic that compresses air to its limits and then releases it. If the range is wide, the impact is weaker, but if it’s narrow, the power increases at the cost of accuracy. Distance also plays a role—the further away the target, the weaker the effect, so you have to be mindful of positioning. For me, this distance is about as far as I can manage.”
Arnold-senpai nodded thoughtfully.

For now, we needed to deal with the remaining two wyverns. Sneaking through the grass again, I approached the wyverns and cast Wind Shot. I managed to take them both down before they could react, so it was a resounding success.

With the immediate threat neutralized, we began packing the wyverns and their eggs into our backpacks. Unfortunately, our luck ran out—just as we finished, a pair of wyverns returned, carrying prey in their jaws.

Dropping their catch, the wyverns immediately turned to us and unleashed fireballs.

Arnold-senpai quickly cast Water Ball, while I raised a shield. The water and fire collided midair, causing a steam explosion that threw the wyverns off balance. However, as expected of B-rank beasts, they didn’t fall.

Arnold-senpai then cast Dust Whirlwind, a spell that engulfed the wyverns in a vortex of debris. Unlike the massive tornadoes Yele-senpai could summon, which would destroy materials, Arnold-senpai’s version was carefully controlled—another testament to his skill as an alchemist.
The whirlwind broke the wyverns’ wings, sending them crashing to the ground, where we swiftly finished them off with our swords.

With that, the day’s hunt was complete.

We returned to the village and decided to stay the night at an inn. Unfortunately, being a small village, the inn only had one room per group.
The room was simple, with just two beds. I had been expecting to camp outdoors, so having an actual bed was a relief—not that I’d admit it.

After setting our belongings down and cleansing them with a spell, I sat on one bed while Arnold-senpai took the other.

“Roa, about the Wind Shot you used earlier—could you show me? I’d like to try it,” he asked, his curiosity evident.

Here? Now?

Despite my surprise, Arnold-senpai seemed genuinely eager to learn.

I stood up and, imitating Duro-san’s training style, compressed a small amount of air in my palm and shot it toward Arnold-senpai. I kept the power low, so it barely caused any impact.

Still, he watched intently and asked me to repeat the process several times. Eventually, he pulled out a piece of bread from his bag and set it on the table.

“Try shooting this,” he said.

I focused and fired. The compressed air pierced the bread cleanly, leaving a neat hole.
After observing me a few more times, Arnold-senpai nodded, muttering to himself, and attempted to replicate the spell.

His first attempt only produced a weak gust that barely moved the bread. However, after several tries, he managed to concentrate the air, denting the bread, and eventually pierced it with a clean hole.

“Amazing, Arnold-senpai! It took me so long to get it right, but you picked it up so quickly!”
“This should make tomorrow’s hunt much easier. I’ll practice some more,” he said, deep in thought as he left the room.

I guessed he was heading to the edge of the village to practice.

Arnold-senpai returned just before dinner, looking disheveled, his clothes and hair in a mess.

“Arnold-senpai, what happened to you?” I asked, concerned, as I cast a cleansing spell on him.
“Oh, this? I ran into some magic birds. I figured I’d hunt them as practice, but they turned out to be tougher than I thought. Breakfast tomorrow will be magic bird meat,” he replied casually.
So he practiced on moving targets.

After sharing a simple dinner at the inn, we turned in early.

The next morning, we had breakfast and prepared to head out. The innkeeper gave us sandwiches for lunch, wishing us success in our hunt. For the villagers, the wyvern problem was a matter of survival.

We trekked into the mountains again, this time to a different area. Wyvern nests were scattered across the terrain, so finding them wasn’t difficult.

Arnold-senpai and I used Wind Shot to dispatch the wyverns quickly, taking them down before they could alert others. The hunt felt almost too easy.

Arnold-senpai’s range was noticeably longer than mine, likely due to his greater mana reserves.
Once we had reached the required number of wyverns and collected their eggs, we packed up and prepared to leave. Arnold-senpai seemed especially pleased with how smoothly everything had gone, smiling as he contacted someone.

It turned out he had managed to summon Yele-senpai.

“Hey, Arnold! It’s been a while, but why on earth did you call me here? And where is this place?” Yele-senpai said, glancing around.

“Yele-senpai, it’s been a long time! How have you been?” I greeted him.

“Ah, Marloa, it’s good to see you. I’ve been well. So, where are we, and why am I here?”

“We’re in the mountains near the southern village, at a wyvern breeding ground. We’ve just finished a hunt,” I explained.

“Huh. And why exactly did you call me?”

“This,” Arnold-senpai said, presenting an egg. “I remember you mentioned wanting to raise one of these. Also, Marloa was using an interesting spell, so I thought you’d want to see it.”

With that, Arnold-senpai pulled a few wyvern eggs out of his backpack and handed them to Yele-senpai. Although Yele-senpai grumbled about being called out for something like this, he placed the eggs into what appeared to be a pocket-sized storage space.

Yele-senpai might secretly be an animal lover.

“An interesting spell? What’s that? Show me, Marloa.”

Following his command, I turned to the nearest tree and cast Wind Shot. Yele-senpai’s eyes widened in interest.

“What do you think? Pretty amazing, right?”

Arnold-senpai chimed in, boasting as he fired his own Wind Shot at the tree beside me.

“Whoa! Teach me how to do that! Looks like wind magic,” Yele-senpai exclaimed, clearly intrigued.

Arnold-senpai, in high spirits, eagerly began explaining the technique to Yele-senpai. His explanation was even more precise and detailed than mine—no surprise, considering how well he’d mastered it.

Yele-senpai, now excited, began testing the spell himself. After a few tries, he managed to create a noticeable dent in the tree.

He was even faster at learning it than Arnold-senpai. Genius really is on another level.

Watching Yele-senpai effortlessly make the spell his own in such a short time left me feeling a bit disheartened. His talent was incredible.

“Alright, I’ve learned the spell. I’m heading back,” Yele-senpai said, brushing off his hands.
“Of course, we’re coming with you,” Arnold-senpai replied without hesitation.

Without missing a beat, both Arnold-senpai and I quickly moved to Yele-senpai’s side.

Sighing as if in resignation, Yele-senpai began chanting a teleportation spell. It seemed he had already accepted our reliance on him.

I didn’t mind—it was nice to have an easy way back home.
