“We’re almost at the place of the Floor Boss…… but we haven’t seen a kobold since then.”
The young B-rank adventurer who serves as an examiner mutters suspiciously.
“And it was clear that they were running away from us, although some of the monsters seemed to understand the difference in strength so they will run away…… Kobolds shouldn’t have that kind of intelligence……”
In the meantime, the group came to the “nest” of the Floor Boss. A huge kobold approaching two meters tall with several kobolds around it is standing there. It is clearly different from the usual species.
“T-that’s a Floor Boss huh…….”
“……It looks strong.”
The main examiner spoke to the examinees who are nervous,
“That’s the Elder Kobold. And as I told you earlier, you guys need to kill it by yourselves, including its minions. With the twelve of you, the subjugation itself shouldn’t be difficult. Just watch out for its attacks. If you are hit in the wrong place, you may die instantly. After all, if it’s just a small injury, we can treat it, but if you die, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
The examinees become more and more tense. In the midst of all this, there was someone who stepped forward in a casual manner.
“If I can defeat that monster, I can pass the exam, right?”
She is the beautiful beastman. With no weapons in hand, she walks alone towards the Elder Kobold. Everyone was fascinated by her natural and beautiful walking style for a moment, and they can’t help but stay put on their spots.
As a result, the beastman beauty faced the Elder Kobold alone.
“““~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!?”””
Suddenly, she let out an inaudible roar, and the kobolds who heard it fled the scene in unison.
“Wa-wauuuuun!!”
The Elder Kobold hurriedly roared at them not to run away, but no one responded to its orders. The Elder Kobold, who is left alone, tried to confront the Beastman beauty, either because of its pride as the Floor Boss.
“Ku-kyuuun!”
However, after making such a pitiful howl, it immediately tucked its tail between its legs and runs away.
“““Eh?”””
The examiners and other examinees were stunned by the inexplicable scene that had unfolded before their eyes.
“The Floor Boss …… ran away……?”
“It didn’t look that way when it saw us….…”
“……It clearly looked like it was scared of that examinee so it ran away.”
Even for the most experienced examiners, it was the first time that they had ever witnessed a Floor Boss fleeing. In this case, the reason why they have seen so few kobolds so far is probably because of that beastman beauty.
“I will not let it escape. I must pass this exam for Master’s sake.”
The next moment, the figure of the beastman beauty vanished. No, she kicked the ground and chased the fleeing Elder kobold.
“S-so fast!?”
When the young examiner shouted, the beastman beauty had jumped onto the back of the Elder Kobold, who had already run more than a hundred meters ahead.
She grabbed the head and twisted it.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
After about a half twist of its neck, the giant kobold fell to the ground with a loud thud. Then it stops moving. Apparently, the Elder Kobold is dead.
“……S-she took down the Floor boss in an instant!?”
“W-who the heck is that beastman……!?”
The beastman beauty returns to the shocked group while dragging the corpse of the Floor Boss.
“I defeated it. I passed, right?”
As the examiners were stunned and were unable to answer, she tilted her head in confusion.
“What’s wrong? Is it not a pass?”
“Y-you passed….…”
Though perplexed, the young man managed to declare that she passed. The Beastman Beauty nodded in satisfaction.
“Hmm, that’s good. But it was a pretty easy test huh.”
On the other hand, the fact that the Floor Boss was defeated by only one person caused the other examinees to have doubts.
“By the way, what’s going to happen to our practical exam……?”
