<h1 class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">DEFEATING THE BOSS WITH SENSEI</h1>
Where sensei pointed, a very familiar entranceway was at the end of the corridor. Smouch so that it excited us to smile at each other like finding a real treasure.
Having found it, Sensei and I both moved with quickness while being cautious on the double.
“There’s no doubt about it, it’s one of the treasure rooms. That means…” I wanted to warn Sensei to not directly rush in, because we still did not know what kind of boss monster was lying in waiting.
It took a bit longer to find, but I might be able to get a new item out of this.
“Sensei, there’s most likely one of those monsters inside. We should check to see what type it is and decide how we’ll attack from there.”
Narrowing her expression, Sensei nods towards my suggestion. Silently nearing the room entrance, we slowly peeked inside.
“Isn’t that a…….Mandrake?”
Just like the other treasure rooms, in the very center of it was a treasure chest. And right next to that chest was a large plant growing beside it.
….No way, there’s a ridiculous face in the center of the petals.
It resembles a person with excessive roots growing off the ground. Sort of like a human statue with leaves sprouting from the top of its head. I thought it was really creepy because its height was as tall as I was.
It looks like it was facing away from us for now. So, there’s a possibility we could attack it by surprise. Taking a closer look, I close my one eye, while keeping the other open to see its level, and the number 6 comes to view. Its level is lower than mine but, is equal to Sensei.
Lowering my voice, I whisper my plan to Harumachi-Sensei. I came up with the same strategy we made up while dealing with Mandrakes from the fight before. All that was left for us to do was put it into action.
Pulling out my combat knife from its sheath, and matching the timing together. Sensei and I both jumped into the room at once. Dampening the sound of our footsteps, we neared the Boss monster.
“Hiiiyaaa!”I yelled as I swing my hand holding the knife.
In a split second. While it was unaware, I left a large wound across its back. Causing it to recoil a little, before crying out stunned.
Yes. That was a good hit.
My level was also higher, so it must’ve taken a considerable amount of damage. But rather than rejoicing, I immediately moved away from the monster and covered my ears. Sensei followed suit and put her hands over her ears as well.
And just as we did that――
“Screeeeeeeechhhhh....”\n Announcement

Even a small bottle of coke worth is welcome.\n Even though we covered our ears, some of its cries could still be heard. We could feel the air tremble as the vibrations from its cry were transmitted through its petals.
……That’s right, this is one of Mandrake's abilities.
The Mandrake itself is not capable of complex physical combat. But by attacking with sound, it was able to disable its opponents. By causing its opponents to lose consciousness, there would be no way for it to be attacked.
And by doing so, even if the Mandrake's physical prowess is quite small, it would still be able to kill you. In that regard, its scream could be considered an instant death attack.
But the number of times a Mandrake could use its sound attack is quite limited. It can only use it once in a battle. And the timing for when the mandrake uses it is immediately after being damaged.
We already knew this beforehand, so it was simple to deal with.
Having felt the air and surroundings stop shaking, I uncover my ears. And with Sensei beside me, she does the same thing too.
I was slashing my knife while running past the enemy. Turning back around to face the Mandrake directly from the front. We were able to get into an advantageous position.
I would be opposing the Mandrake from its front while Sensei would be taking it from its back. By cornering the Mandrake with this strategy, both Sensei and I sync our strikes.
Sensei’s double strike caused the monster to lose its balance and not letting this opportunity go to waste I charge in with my knife. It was a perfect combo. Sensei’s attacks weren’t as strong as mine, due to her level and weapon, but I could make up for the difference in damage. The Mandrake couldn’t retaliate due to our coordination and had to suffer in its dwelling.
Gathering all the strength I could muster; I struck the Mandrake one more time. And that’s when――
“GYA……”Squealing towards the end, the Mandrake burst into particles of light. Only for those light orbs to be absorbed by the labyrinth, disappearing without a trace. It was our complete victory.
I sighed while Sensei bowed silently. And by the time we were done, we both smiled at each other. That was the very image of a perfect battle and partnership.
The best part was we didn’t take any damage as well. But the surprise was still their fort eh treasure to be opened and the magic item to be recovered in front of Sensei. I needed to work with high caution not to let my secret out.
