JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES, PARTY OF NONE
- EPISODE 2: NO GOING BACK
FOR THE JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES
- Welcome, Orhun.
- I'm Vince Bryars, the head of
the Night Sky Silver Rabbits.
I've heard all about you.
I'm Orhun Dura.
I'm honored to meet the leader
of such a famous clan.
You don't need to be so on edge.
I've heard that you left the Hero's Party.
We don't need to spend our time
trying to figure out
what the other person's
really thinking, right?
True.
First, I'd like to hear more
about this teaching expedition.
Okay. I'll have Selma explain.
Just as I told you yesterday,
we're going from Floor 1 to Floor 51
of the Great Dungeon in three days.
Specifically, we'll end
on Floor 21 on Day 1,
Floor 36 on Day 2 and on Day 3
Orhun Dura left the Hero's Party?
That's a major loss for them.
Without him, they won't
be nearly as strong.
You're likely right.
His support magic took them to a level
they weren't otherwise capable of.
Orhun's support magic effects
are less powerful than average,
but his casting speed is incredible.
At least four times faster than my own.
Moreover, he was using
multiple original spells.
His ability to analyze a situation,
predict the next move,
and provide magical support
at just the right time
He has all the skills an enchanter needs.
With him gone, the Hero's Party
is going to get a lot weaker.
I believe it's more likely now that
the Silver Rabbits return to the top.
I heard about him during our joint raid.
Still, I find this all hard to believe.
Enchanters often don't receive
the credit they deserve.
I'm famous, sure,
but people think too highly of me.
The truly powerful, like
him, don't stand out.
So essentially
There're ten parties of rookies
and five escorts,
including myself and Selma.
The rookie parties will handle
the monsters on a rotation.
And if something out of the ordinary
occurs, the escorts deal with it.
Exactly right. You picked that up fast.
Any other questions?
One, yes.
Why are there only five escorts?
If this insane schedule
is really necessary,
you'd normally want to
reduce the risk by taking
multiple A-Rank parties
to support the rookies.
Yes, our goal is to take
the rookies to floor 51,
but a bit of extra stress
will help them grow.
This is the perfect chance for them
to get that experience, right?
That's not the real reason.
Pulling this off is incredibly
important to them.
There must be some other reason why.
But they're not going
to tell me, an outsider.
All right. I'll help.
Thanks.
You'll receive two gold pieces in advance.
Ten more if the mission is successful.
I'm fine with that,
but isn't that a bit much?
That's a year's worth of living expenses.
We simply value you that highly.
I'll see you tomorrow, Orhun Dura.
All right. I'll do the best I can.
So that's the entrance?
Morning, Orhun.
Morning.
Morning to you too, Sophia.
H-Hello!
Good morning!
Her outfit's different.
An outfit for rookies?
You look good in that outfit.
Th-Thank you!
Sophia!
You seem to know how to
flatter a lady, Orhun.
Do you have a girlfriend or something?
Huh?! A girlfriend?
No, I don't.
Some members of the
Hero's Party were female
So if I'm used to talking to
girls, that's probably why.
Oh, that's right.
All of you lived in the same mansion.
Where do you live now, then?
At an inn, for the moment.
I know I need to find a place soon.
Sophia?! Why are you asking that?
Are you planning on paying him a visit?
S-Sister!
No! I was just curious!
You jerk!
J-Jerk?!
Say, why are you so far away from
the rest of the group, Orhun?
I'm an outsider, so I thought I
might make the rookies nervous.
Yeah, they're all looking tense.
I'm going to ask for your help
to loosen them up, Orhun.
Follow me.
Sophia, go find your party.
Sure.
Good morning to all three of you.
Good morning.
The other escorts?
This is Orhun. I told you
yesterday he'd be helping us.
I guarantee he's strong.
You're vouching for him, Selma?
I'm sure we can trust him, then.
Yup, you sure can!
Don't raise expectations for me, please!
Don't be so humble.
I'm Orhun. I'm a front-line attacker.
Nice to meet you all.
I'm Anthem. I'm a defender.
I'm Bernard. I'm also a defender.
I'm Cathy! I'm a healer!
So that leaves me and you.
An attacker and an enchanter.
That's right.
It's a balanced party,
but if I hadn't come,
were they going to have someone
else double as an attacker?
Something seems wrong
about this whole thing
I know how you feel,
losing such a powerful ace.
But isn't Orhun an enchanter, like you?
Given the need for party balance, I can't
let him be part of the first group.
You're right.
We haven't moved a step
forward since last year.
We're still trapped.
We can't take back what we've lost.
That's why I turned to Orhun.
But he volunteered to be a swordsman.
If he can function as
a front-line attacker
All right!
We've got three days of hard
work ahead of us, guys!
Right!
Now, let's go greet the rookies!
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning!
Today, we begin our descent to the
51st floor of the Great Dungeon!
You all look tense.
Are you all scared to head to the
middle levels of the Great Dungeon so soon?
Well, don't worry!
I've brought a powerful helper
in case something happens!
Let me introduce you. This is Orhun!
He's reached Floor 94,
where even we have yet to go!
Floor 94?!
Does that mean
If you want to be dungeon explorers
yourselves, then you must know him.
Yes, he
was a member of the Hero's Party!
Thus, he knows the Great Dungeon
better than any of us.
The Hero's Party! I knew it!
The party with the heroes?!
Wow! Heroes!
Well? Think we can get to floor 51 now?
Yes!
All right! Let's head
into the dungeon, then!
Good, good.
Everybody stay on standby
until it's time to head in.
Right!
Escorts, let's do our final checks.
Selma, that was playing
it up a little too much
Not at all.
You really have been to Floor 94, right?
Part of our job is to make sure they
can relax and focus on the dungeon.
True, but
I only want the title of "hero"
to help the old man's shop
I hope this doesn't
come around to bite me.
Oh, right.
I want you to escort Group 10.
Okay
They're our most promising rookies.
If they can learn to work as a party,
they'll easily be able to
make it to the middle floors.
Show them the ropes, please.
Understood.
I don't know if you should be entrusting
your star rookies to an outsider, though
I'm Orhun. I'll be your escort
for the next three days.
Nice to meet you, sir.
So, Sophia's in Group 10?
Is someone in Group 10 late?
No, this is all of us.
A three-member party? That's rare.
The fewer people in a party,
the more dangerous it is.
Especially for rookies
Oh, that's because
obody can keep up with us.
I know they've got high hopes for him,
but if he's this young
and has that attitude,
I'm worried for his future.
If everyone's here, then good.
You, please introduce yourself first.
Okay. I'm Group 10's
leader, Logan Hayward.
I'm an enchanter, and the man who
will someday surpass Selma herself!
He sure is confident.
Next!
Okay!
I'm Caroline Inglot!
I'm a defender!
That's not a lot of armor for a defender.
Will you put on your armor once
we're in the Great Dungeon?
You're asking that too, mister?
I'm a defender who doesn't
use armor or a shield!
Um, you mean you dodge instead of block?
That's right!
I don't want monsters touching me!
But I want to kill lots of them,
so I chose to be a defender so I could
get as close as possible!
A dodge-type defender.
Instead of using her
defense to block attacks,
she wants to dodge using her speed?
Being a dodge-type is hard until
you get combat experience.
Nobody in the clan warned you?
Of course they did.
But she just ignored them.
You don't listen to what
the teachers say, either!
I don't have to, 'cause
I'm just that good.
- What?!
- Guys
So they're the problem kids
Next?
Okay!
I'm Sophia Claudel.
I'm a rear attacker! A caster!
Thank you for coming today!
Everything she said was normal, but for
some reason I feel much more at ease.
- What?
- This mission actually
seems kind of difficult
- I'm the party leader, you know!
Our descent in the dungeon has begun.
They were causing such a ruckus outside,
but I guess the rookies shut up
once they got inside.
Hey, hey!
Why is someone from the
Hero's Party on this expedition?
Does that mean you guys don't
see our clan as rivals?
Did you not listen to what Selma said?
I used to be a member.
I left.
Why did you leave?
Everybody admires the Hero's Party!
What a waste!
She's not letting it drop.
She doesn't seem to mean anything by it,
but I just can't handle this type.
Hey! Hey! Why? Why?
Who cares?
It's none of your business.
Hmph! Stingy!
Oh, right!
Do you and Sophia know each other?
I guess. Why?
No real reason, but she said somebody
amazing would be coming with us.
Right, Sophia?
Wh-What?
He's the amazing guy you
were talking about, right?
Um
Yeah. He saved my life.
He was so strong, and he said he
was part of the Hero's Party
My sister said we wouldn't have
to worry at all if he was here.
I see, I see!
Then you don't need to be
so nervous, right, Sophia?
You've got a hero here with you!
Yeah, you're right.
I'm not a hero, actually
Did she bring this up to
get Sophia to calm down?
Maybe she's more considerate
of others than she appears.
The trap spells I set are working fine.
They're hard for the enemy to
detect until they actually go off.
It's a good way to deal with monsters
to our rear without slowing us down.
We don't have a lot of time.
I don't want to waste
it on useless battles.
FLOOR 20
I've been keeping an
eye on how they fight,
and they'll probably be good for the
rest of the teaching expedition.
I thought that Logan was just
a rookie with a big head,
but he has real skill as an enchanter.
If he can keep it up for longer battles,
he could easily function
in an A-Rank party.
He really is a genius.
He loses points for being bad at giving orders,
since that's necessary for an enchanter.
But he'll get better with
more experience, I'm sure.
Caroline's speed is as good
as you'd expect from someone
who wants to be a dodge-type defender.
But there're two issues.
The first problem is that when she
sees a monster, she'll run right at it.
Since she's a defender, she should
be trying to get close to the enemy,
but watching her scares me.
The other problem is that she just
uses two daggers for weapons.
They're a good fit for her style,
but that's maybe not enough
destructive power for this party.
Sophia's not as impressive
as the other two,
but she's stronger than a rookie already.
She was a little passive, but that'll change
once she opens up to her party members.
And she doesn't have any big rookie flaws.
I can't wait to see how she grows.
And that does it for the Floor 20 boss.
Wow.
That was so fast!
Well done, escorts.
All right, everyone, on to the 21st floor!
Register the floor on your guild card,
and we're done for the day.
Yes, ma'am!
How did you enjoy being an escort?
Just like you said,
Group 10 has a lot of potential.
But they're not really working together.
I'm especially worried about Caroline.
She's actually improved a lot
What did she used to be like, then?
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Sure.
I should've known this would happen.
It's a front-page article
about the Hero's Party,
and how they have a new enchanter.
In other words, my being banished from
the party is now public knowledge.
They have no idea how
much this hurts me
I wish they would've waited until
the teaching expedition was over.
I can't imagine all the
rookies read this paper.
But if any of them do, I can see
it changing their opinion of me.
Well, no sense in thinking about it.
I guess I'll head to the meeting point.
Orhun!
Luna?
It's been a long time Orhun.
Yeah.
When I was in the Hero's Party,
even as the other members were
growing colder and colder toward me,
she always treated me the same as ever.
When I was banished, she was
away on some errand at home.
If Luna had been there
I guess I've still got some attachments
to the Hero's Party.
So, did you need something?
Um
Would you please come back to our party?
We need your strength!
I felt like she might say that.
She always thought highly of me.
Is that what the rest of the party wants?
I can't imagine so, after seeing
the article in today's paper.
Article?
No, I'm asking on my own.
But if you'll come with me,
I'll do my best to persuade everyone!
Luna's serious about bringing me back?
But it's too late, for a lot of reasons
After that article got published,
I can't go back, can I?
Nor do I want to go back, either.
Sorry. I haven't seen today's paper,
so I don't know what it said
But didn't we promise
that we'd clear the
Great Dungeon together?!
You and I and Oliver
all made that promise.
And Oliver was the one who kicked me out.
So it's never going to happen now.
Maybe, but
Sorry.
Orhun
I wanted the three of us to
remain the way we always were
To fulfill that promise
There's no going back now, though.
There's no place for me there.
It all ended that day.
It's too late.

much this hurts me
I wish they would've waited until
the teaching expedition was over.
I can't imagine all the
rookies read this paper.
But if any of them do, I can see
it changing their opinion of me.
Well, no sense in thinking about it.
I guess I'll head to the meeting point.
Orhun!
Luna?
It's been a long time Orhun.
Yeah.
When I was in the Hero's Party,
even as the other members were
growing colder and colder toward me,
she always treated me the same as ever.
When I was banished, she was
away on some errand at home.
If Luna had been there
I guess I've still got some attachments
to the Hero's Party.
So, did you need something?
Um
Would you please come back to our party?
We need your strength!
I felt like she might say that.
She always thought highly of me.
Is that what the rest of the party wants?
I can't imagine so, after seeing
the article in today's paper.
Article?
No, I'm asking on my own.
But if you'll come with me,
I'll do my best to persuade everyone!
Luna's serious about bringing me back?
But it's too late, for a lot of reasons
After that article got published,
I can't go back, can I?
Nor do I want to go back, either.
Sorry. I haven't seen today's paper,
so I don't know what it said
But didn't we promise
that we'd clear the
Great Dungeon together?!
You and I and Oliver
all made that promise.
And Oliver was the one who kicked me out.
So it's never going to happen now.
Maybe, but
Sorry.
Orhun
I wanted the three of us to
remain the way we always were
To fulfill that promise
There's no going back now, though.
There's no place for me there.
It all ended that day.
It's too late.
