I was accompanying the village girl, Muzika, as she leveled up… or at least trying to.
“Take that!”
Muzika swung her sword.
Swish!
Her opponent was a High Goblin, who easily dodged her attack.
“Gi-gi-gi!”
“Eek…!”
Muzika shut her eyes tight.
Clang!
Even though she took a hit from the Goblin, Muzika remained unscathed. In this dungeon, a temporary Absolute Defense was granted, so she felt no damage.
“Looks like things aren’t going too well, huh?”
As Core pointed out, the reason was clear.
“Wait a second!”
With a shaky stance, Muzika swung her sword again. The Goblin dodged effortlessly.

Muzika
【Race】Human
【Level】40
～～～～～～
At first, she had jumped from level 5 to 35 in one go. But her progress had stagnated since then.
“Ugh… finally took it down…”
Muzika collapsed on the spot, exhausted. I figured I should say something.
“Muzika, do you dislike close combat?”
It was obvious she was scared of the monsters. She tensed up during her attacks and flinched at every enemy strike.
“Yeah… when I see monsters up close, my body just tenses up.”
“I see.”
“Do you think I’m not cut out to be an adventurer?”
Muzika looked like she was about to cry, so I gently patted her head.
“It’s just that close combat isn’t your forte, right? If that’s the case, why not attack from a distance?”
“With magic, you mean? But being a mage requires talent. It’s common for people to waste time trying hard without any talent.”
People have their strengths and weaknesses, and talent exists for a reason. It’s all too common for someone to waste their life on futile efforts without understanding their own abilities.
“But it’s okay. We have the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) on our side.”

Muzika’s Adventurer Aptitude Ranking
→
1st Place: Hunter (Aptitude S+)
2nd Place: Mage (Aptitude B)
3rd Place: Swordsman (Aptitude D)
～～～～～～
The Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) had information about her aptitudes—what positions she was suited for.
“It seems like you have the highest aptitude as a Hunter, followed by Mage.”
I pulled out a Legendary Weapon from the box at home.
“Here, use this.”
What I presented was a jade bow.
“Isn’t this something expensive…?”
“Don’t worry about it. It was just gathering dust at home. Go ahead and use it.”
～～～～～～
Elven Bow (SS)
→ A rare holy bow passed down among the Elf race.
Automatically generates arrows using magic.
*Requires extensive training to use.
～～～～～～
It mentioned that training was necessary to use it. But… I believed she could handle it.
“Gi-gi-gi!”
“Oh, a new monster has appeared! Let’s take it down!”
By the way, even if the monsters saw me (a God with infinite levels), they would still attack, as they had a nature that compelled them to attack anything that entered the dungeon.
“Alright, Muzika. Give it your all!”
“Y-yeah!”
Muzika readied the Elven Bow and drew the string back.
She looked the part, reminiscent of a seasoned hunter.
Magic arrows began to form.
“Go!”
Whoosh! The magic arrow Muzika shot pierced the High Goblin right between the eyes.
“Headshot! Nice!”
The Goblin collapsed, lifeless.
Muzika trembled as she looked at her fingers. It was the thrill of battle.
“I had no idea how to swing a sword, but… I understood the bow. I knew how to hit with it!”
“That’s because you have talent for archery.”
“Thank you, Mika-neechan! For telling me I have talent for the bow!”
“You’re welcome!”
I had merely browsed the information on the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) and shared it with her.
“You’re amazing, Master. Most people take a long time to figure out what they’re suited for… But with you around, it’s so quick!”
Core praised me.
“Now, let’s keep defeating monsters at this pace!”
“Yeah!”
After a while, having leveled up Muzika, we used the Greater Teleportation skill to exit the dungeon.
“Ugh! Gyaah! Gyaah!”
…It was a bit noisy outside the dungeon.
“!? Mika-neechan! Look over there!”
Muzika pointed ahead. Core’s dungeon was located two kilometers from Averell, nestled in the mountains.
The dungeon exit… we were standing in the forest…
“Huh? I can’t see anything.”
“There’s a monster near the village! Probably a dragon!”
～～～～～～
Situation Near the Village
→ A swarm of Wyverns (B Rank) surrounds the outskirts of Averell.
～～～～～～
～～～～～～
Why Muzika Could Spot the Wyverns
→ She activated the Eagle Eye skill, allowing her to survey the area from a distance.
～～～～～～
“We need to hurry! The town… and Grandpa’s cows are in danger from the Wyverns!”
Both the town and Grandpa were important to her.
“Don’t worry, we don’t need to rush.”
“What do you mean!?”
I took Muzika’s hand and used Greater Teleportation to transport us near Averell.
“There are so many Wyverns…!?”
Muzika gasped at the sight of the Wyverns filling her view.
As the Wyverns approached the town, they were suddenly halted by an invisible barrier.
“W-what’s happening…?”
“Thanks to the holy magic of the Dragon Vein Area, monsters can’t get close to the town.”
“Is that so? Thank goodness…”
Muzika let out a heartfelt sigh of relief. She truly cared for this town and for Grandpa Ushika.
“Alright, Muzika. It’s your time to shine. You’ve trained to be strong for moments like this, right?”
When I said that, Muzika nodded vigorously.
She readied the Elven Bow. A shimmering silver arrow formed with a twang!
“Assault Shot!”
Muzika released the arrow into the sky. The silver arrow traced a parabolic arc…
At its peak… it split apart.
Boom boom boom boom boom…!
Like a meteor shower, the split magic arrows rained down upon the ground.
“Gyaah! Guh-gyaah! Gyaah!”
The Wyverns were struck down by the magical arrows, their bodies collapsing lifelessly to the ground.
Countless Wyvern corpses littered the grasslands.
“I did it! I did it, Mika-neechan!”
“Yeah, great job. You worked hard.”
As I raised my hand, Muzika high-fived me with a loud clap!
I never expected her to become this capable.
“Hey! Young lady! Muzikaaaaaaa!”
“Grandpa Ushika!”
Coming from the village’s outer wall was Muzika’s grandfather, Ushika, drenched in sweat as he rushed over to embrace his granddaughter.
“However… I’m surprised, Muzika. What was that attack!?”
It seemed Grandpa Ushika had witnessed Muzika’s battle from somewhere.
“That was the Assault Shot! I learned it from Mika-neechan and became able to use it—it’s a Hunter skill!”
“You learned it from her… is that true?”
Grandpa looked to me for confirmation.
“Yeah, just a little.”
～～～～～～
Muzika
【Race】Human
【Level】150
～～～～～～
“See? Just a little.”
“What did you say!?”
Grandpa looked at my smartphone and stumbled back in shock.
“Level 150!? Unbelievable!?”
“Ah, was that too little? She only leveled up by 145, after all.”
“Too much, you say!?”
I thought he was surprised because other kids (the fluffy ones) could level up into the thousands in an instant, but…
“That’s the level of an S-rank adventurer…”
Now that I think about it, the Twilight Dragons before they became my subordinates were around level 75.
“Thanks to Mika-neechan’s guidance, she got this strong in just a few hours!”
“Impressive… Mika-neechan… you’re truly extraordinary!”
Well, well. I nudged Muzika forward.
“Come on, Muzika. You have something to say to your grandpa, right?”
“Y-yeah…”
Muzika timidly stepped in front of Grandpa and bowed her head.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I went outside without permission and fought monsters… I worried you… I’m sorry. I wanted to become strong to protect your cows.”
Grandpa smiled and gently patted her head.
“Thank you for trying to protect my cows.”
“Grandpa!”
The two embraced, smiling brightly.
“And thank you too, young lady!”
“Mika-neechan! We made up!”
“Yes, that’s great! It’s wonderful to see everyone smiling.”
This is the scene of Mika nurturing heroes.
