Han Se-ah is an outstanding mage.

Not just because her party members rely on her inventory and her mini-map, nor because viewers playfully call her the shining genius mage.

From riding the old carriage in the tutorial to the city, learning Magic Missile and various other spells, climbing the tower, and advancing her skills to learn the high-level spell Call Lightning, she has never once made a mistake while using magic.

Whether it was using Water Magic to plug a goblin's nose, shattering a wolf's skull with Magic Missile, burning an orc's armpit with Spark, scattering a swarm of bats with Gust of Wind, or blinding a giant with Light Magic, she was flawless in every moment.

She was surprisingly skilled, like something out of a novel protagonist.

It was an incredible feat.

For a level 1 RPG player to play the game, hunt four bosses, grow without making major mistakes, and not die is something noteworthy.

The biggest mistake Han Se-ah might have made was perhaps being careless enough to almost be in danger, right?

Still, the viewers treat her as if she's only just ten levels higher.

"Just as Roland said, you use basic magic the most."

-What's magic for? It's for boiling water.

-Spark instead of a lighter, Water instead of a faucet, Light instead of lighting...

-Is this a mage or an AI of IoT*[1]?

-Intermediate magic takes up about 30% of mana, but how much does advanced magic consume?

-Since she said she couldn't use it twice, does that mean it consumes over 50% of mana?

She uses Spark to light the campfire, Water Magic to fill a pot for Irene, who's preparing to cook. Just a campfire is not enough for streaming in a cave that's dark, so she also uses Light Magic.

On their way to the 43rd floor's harpy nest, there's no need to use advanced magic like Call Lightning; she's just using a lot of basic magic, so it's no wonder the viewers are teasing her.

The stream title might be thundering with lightning, but in reality, she's assisting in cooking with basic magic and changing the environment with intermediate magic.

Thanks to that, Han Se-ah, munching on chunks of stew Irene cooked, was treated like a construction worker eating lunch at a construction site in the chat.

So, without using advanced magic in the cave and making the stream title irrelevant, the next day,

"There, I see it."

"Hanna? Are we going into the nest, or are we just going to grab the Vacuum Stone and bail?"

"Let's try to go as deep as we can. It'd be too disappointing to just hunt some harpies at the entrance and leave, having come all this way. And the red harpies, unlike the black ones, have the ability to learn, so it wouldn't be good to keep exposing ourselves to them."

Reaching the 43rd floor without any battles, except for handling a few sporadically appearing one-horned mountain goats.

As expected, the towering peaks were shrouded in dense clouds, harpies were busily flying back and forth in that area.

The scouting teams flying in formation looked like bees going to and from a hive.

As we proceeded along the same path as before, a group of harpies immediately flew towards us, triggered by our distance.

"Here they come, should I use magic?"

"No, if we start with magic right off the bat, they might cut off our path with the Vacuum Stone. Let's get as close as possible. Focus on securing the Vacuum Stone."

Emerging through the clouds, a group of harpies began to menacingly circle above.

The ensuing battle was no different from the last.

The harpies struck with their sharp claws, which we repelled and drove away. Being regular mobs rather than gacha characters, their attack pattern was simple and straightforward, merely striking from above without any diversity or cunning strategy.

Flying was merely an annoyance; no senior adventurer would lose their life to mere eagle talons.

"They're retreating! They'll probably come back with reinforcements?"

"Let's rest in the next cave and then leave immediately. If they throw a Vacuum Stone from afar, we won't be able to fulfill Old Bobo's request."

"I'm curious about the harpies' nest, but cooperating with the stone dwarfs is also important."

"They've maintained their sanity, unlike the others."

Harpy after harpy fell, clubbed, caught in explosive arrows, slashed open, frozen, or their wing joints broken by whirlwinds.

Again, about half of the mana stones disappeared into the dark abyss below, and the battle ended quickly.

The problem is that they didn't know when they would use Vacuum Stones...

But since it's a game, wouldn't they try to collapse the same location as last time?

If BB Games had any conscience, they'd at least consider that much as a basic courtesy.

On the mountain path that winds into a cliffside.

From afar, a group of harpies flew in.

After several repetitions of battle, we returned to the spot where we had retreated in tears last time.

Not just Grace, but I and the other party members could also see where the mountain path ended and the cliff path began.

"Grace!"

"No Vacuum Stone!"

"Then, I'll get ready with magic!"

Realizing these harpies didn't carry a Vacuum Stone, we guessed that sweeping them away would ensure the next group must bring it, immediately putting Han Se-ah at the forefront.

Despite the harpies' fierce approach through the thick white clouds like a barrier, they faced a bad match.

The player, eager to show the viewers advanced magic and having bragged loudly without showing it till now, was heated up for the confrontation.

The unruly power of lightning gathered like docile sheep to form thunderclouds.

"There's no need to take them all out in one hit, Hanna."

"I know, but I want to try, you know?"

Despite the thunderclouds, brimming with crackling electric currents instead of white fluff, gathering in the open sky, the black harpies were unaware.

The eagles with the heads of old women had never encountered danger from above.

No matter how much they've been trained by gacha characters, to them, the enemy has always been below.

Only their allies and leaders are above in the sky.

Furthermore, the tower's fields, where climate change does not happen, contributed to this.

Harpies born and living their entire lives inside the tower were unaware of rainstorms, typhoons, and the destructive power of the lightning and thunder harbored by dark clouds.

And the only outcome for beasts that fail to learn is a cruel death.

"Call Lightning!"

As the nest neared, a group of more than twenty, nearly thirty harpies flew in, but naturally, the speed of lightning striking down was faster than the harpies flying towards us.

The staff struck down on the mountain path, and the clear chant echoed, summoning forth the vicious lightning the thunderclouds had been holding within.

A pillar of lightning, with the power to physically shatter even large trees, not just burn them, descended upon the harpies flying recklessly below the dark clouds.

When one pillar branched out like the twigs of a tree into thirty branches, the belated thunderclap boomed, leaving nothing in the sky.

"...Was it too strong? The mana stones flew off too."

"No, you did well. We'll do the rest"

"Be careful out there, Roland."

-I'm Done! I'm Done! I'm Done! I'm Done! I'm Done! I'm Done! I'm Done! I'm Done! I'm Done!

-MomWhyAmINotHanSeAh? MomWhyAmINotHanSeAh? MomWhyAmINotHanSeAh? MomWhyAmINotHanSeAh?

-Seriously, at this point, she's like the representative for all mages. Damn, I can't do that stuff, really jealous.

-Lol, are there still idiots swinging swords? Swords in a fantasy world? Really?

-CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks! CloseCombatSucks!

As Han Se-ah, embraced by the viewers' praise and Irene's gentle touch, caught her breath and staggered, I threw her a word of praise without hesitation and dashed forward.

The harpies had been annihilated right before the cliff path began, so naturally, the only method left for them was to collapse the cliff with a Vacuum Stone.

Running forward while ensuring the mountain path didn't collapse, I saw a group of harpies hurriedly flying out from the clouds.

"Roland! The harpies! Vacuum Stone!"

As Grace shouted, like eagles swooping to break a turtle shell with their claws, there they were, flapping wildly, clutching a bright red rock mass with their large talons.

The talons, tightly clenched, suddenly spread open, and the bright red rock fell down, unable to defy gravity, like a bomb dropped from a bomber.

Instead of a mace and shield, what was in my hand was a magic sealing cloth bought from the magic tower.

All I needed to do was catch the Vacuum Stone with this and wrap it up

"......Damn, they threw it farther than I thought?"

The problem was the difference between the collapse point I had checked through Han Se-ah's stream replay and the location where the harpies threw the Vacuum Stone this time.

Whether it was because of the distance from me or because they were scared off by Han Se-ah's magic, it was significantly farther than last time.

"Roland, jump-!"

Should I leap even if it means smashing the mountain path with my feet?

Or jump down the cliffside to catch the Vacuum Stone that was breaking apart the cliff?

The hesitation was brief, and Han Se-ah's voice from behind instinctively moved me.

The party's leader is Han Se-ah, and she also has the ability to turn back time.

So, trusting the leader's command, the tank moved without hesitation.

I injected mana into my legs and leaped forward from a distance that seemed unreachable, but it was slightly short.

Despite launching myself with the determination of a fox diving for its prey, the harpy had thrown the Vacuum Stone too far and fled.

"Gust of Wind!"

But in Heroes Chronicle, a mage is not just a dealer but a versatile problem-solver.

"Got it!"

The gust hitting my face, along with the rock spinning in the air as it fell, changed direction towards me as if it were a balloon.

Wind magic used by squeezing out the remaining mana after using Call Lightning.

It demonstrated the grandeur befitting a high level mage, pushing a rock with the wind.
