Huge Holy 5 (Patreon)

5 - This is terrific. No, not the power, but the mentality that went into setting this up.

RAW

“Kyuu”

I was relieved that the Horn Rabbit that got hit by the Holy Ball (power: minimal) didn't turn into ash and the corpse was still intact.

Finally… finally, it’s done…
For a while, I wondered what would happen.

My equation itself was correct.
The power of [Holy] was out of the norm due to a special correction that only I have.

Normally, magicians have correction added to their attack magic but… other elemental magic has plenty of attack magic.
In contrast, my element, light magic, only has [Holy] as an attack magic.
There are no variations.
Consequently, in order to compensate for the lack of variations, the power of [Holy] is out of the norm――it has become [Freaking Huge Holy].

I don't know what I’m talking about, but the equation won't fit otherwise.
This is reality.
Just accept it.

There are many good parts. Since the power is like this, even the previous Holy Ball (power: minimal) can be activated with only a small amount of magical power consumption.
So much that on the surface it feels as if the MP didn’t decrease.
Specifically, the value is [0.1].

Let’s go around vigorously defeating monsters and raising my level! Wait! Don’t get carried away.
My stats are still low, and it's not like the high-ranked monsters are going to be standing around and waiting.

It's a detour, but I'll go around E-rank and D-rank dungeons to get used to fighting.
When I do, I throw the monster subjugation parts and drop items into the box formed by [Shield], and have the [Familiar] carries it to the guild.
I do this repeatedly.

When I returned to the guild once to report on the completion of a quest I had received, I explained the aforementioned process to the receptionist and tried to take off but――
“I have to sort through this amount, please put yourself in my shoes!”
The employee uncharacteristically hit him with his dissatisfaction.

It can't be helped, so I set up multiple [Familiar] magic circles to do the sorting work, and the other side stopped complaining.
I was able to go around more than I had imagined because leveling up also restored magic power.

Today's result is――

Josiah
Occupation: Magician Lv.23
Element: Light Magic Lv.10

HP: 200/200
MP: 641/20000

Physical Attack: 27
Magic Attack: 110
Defense: 10
Strength: 10
Agility: 27

The guild side didn't show any dissatisfaction with me because I delivered not only the subjugation parts and the magic stones in the monster's body, but also the items and medicinal herbs that I collected in the dungeon and along the way.
If I continue like this for a while, the banishment will be canceled.
If I find the right time to conquer a C-rank dungeon, I won't have to worry about being demoted in rank.

I can finally live as an adventurer.

As soon as I thought that, a disturbing movement began inside the empire.
Workplace cost reduction.
This is the beginning of the first, and probably the last, era of banishment.

☆

What made cost reduction possible is [Magic Tools]. They’re machines powered by magic power.
Similar to electrical appliances in the world I lived in, and information devices like photocopiers.
Those are provided through the country to workplaces that mainly handle a lot of miscellaneous work.

They don't need a guy who is only good at doing miscellaneous work that anyone can do.
Those people are all paycheck thieves. They’re all fired. It is a natural trend of the times.

I was fired too.

It seems that work is being done to install a proper septic system for the irrigation canal, and the [Ditch Cleaning] company will only be responsible for picking up garbage.
Cursed weapons that are often thrown away will also be collected and processed by the government.
Well, that's how it was supposed to be.
Now I ended up being dismissed.

At the construction site of the wall, the government provided a magic-style gondola and trolley, and the supervisor also told me not to come because they didn't need me.

The sorting of the delivery business will be handled by magic tools and that deliveries could be done by hiring people who would now be on the street.

Cleaning of clothes is also no longer necessary since they introduced the magic washing machine.

The government has also secured a [Healer] who has better healing power than me in the hospital, and it seems that the law will be revised so that no healing activities can be carried out without national medical qualifications.

Those who were fired seemed to be put into the mass production industry of magic tools as retirement support.

The news goes around surprisingly well, so maybe a reincarnated person like me has entered the upper echelons of the country.

However, the worst thing is that the banishment boom hits even within the guild.
The government began full-scale management and monitoring of the guild. They fired all the guys who didn't have enough achievements as adventurers.

Yes, I was banished from the guild as well.
I got [Holy] too late.
Considering unnecessary trouble it caused, you should have registered as an adventurer after obtaining [Holy].
Said the inspector.

I too didn't think it would take this long!
It was going up smoothly up to level 9…!!!

Complaining to the country is pointless, so I paid a large amount of money and left the empire.

――――

(T/N: I found out today, that games used Physical Attack and Magic Attack, not Physical Attack and Magical Attack. Also, I thought Holy is really hard to get, why would they not treasure him? I guess support elements aren’t regarded highly in this country.)
