Chapter 73.2. The First Year at the Academy – Aim (2)
Early the next morning, I left my house and headed for the Adventurer's Guild for the first time in a long time.
I had come to the guild when I had asked for help from "Battle Axe Destruction" but when was the last time I had received a request from them?
I counted on my fingers and was a little surprised.
Maybe the last time was before the field exercise?
That was more than three months ago.
Even though I was busy, it was not good. I had to earn my living.
As I stepped through the guild's door, I felt the morning bustle of the guild.
The fact that I felt nostalgic was proof that I had been slacking off.
I look around the floor full of adventurers and look for the people I'm looking for.
Yes, it's easy to figure out.
One corner of the floor is empty.
The other side notices me and raises his hand.
"Oh, over here!"
Several people moved their gazes and compared me and the "Battle Axe Destruction".
There are only a few C ranks in Seren, and anyone with a certain skill level would know they are quite good. Is it any wonder they attracted so much attention?
After exchanging morning greetings, Markant quickly cut in.
"You're still in E rank, right?"
"That's right. If I wanted, I can take a C, right?"
"You can, though. It's a long one, here. Most of them are escorts for the corps."
"That's a problem."
The self-study period is four days at most. With a two-day round trip, there are only so many cities I can go to. Besides, we don't have time.
We are talking like this because I told him I had become an adventurer.
If that's the case, he asked me to take on a commission with him, and today was the first day of the commission.
"What shall we do?"
Stroking his chin, Markant looks at the bulletin board.
The morning bulletin board is a battlefield. Many adventurers were staring at the notice board with eyes like saucers.
Since I've moved up to E rank, Rebecca's designation request is over. I should have jumped into the fray, but it was too much trouble for me, so I kept taking random requests.
As I remembered, I moved my gaze.
I met someone's eyes.
Some adventurer is calling in front of me? Don't you work?
As if noticing such a sign, Ose stood next to me with sharp eyes.
"Is that the one?"
"That's right, but it's not. It's not harassment. It's just a twist of good intentions."
Perhaps sensing the cold, deadly atmosphere, the adventurers lined up in front of Rebecca began to fidget, and before we knew it, they were gone.
Well, for some reason, it looks like the place is empty, so let's say hello to her first, shall we?
As I started to walk away, the "Battle Axe of Destruction" followed me in a line.
I knew it was going to be like this. That's why I secretly registered.
Feeling a little embarrassed, I greeted Rebecca.
"It's been a while, Rebecca-san."
"Seriously, it looks like I've been busy. By the way, do the people in the back know you, Tenko-kun?"
"Tenko?"
Markant bites into a bad spot.
It's been so long that I forgot about that.
Pushing past the head-tilting Markant, Danil quickly steps forward.
"Yes, Tenko-san is an old friend of mine."
"Tenko-san?"
"Apparently."
Valerie replies in a whisper to the question again.
Unaware of such an exchange, Rebecca was impressed.
"I didn't realize you knew everyone from "Battle Axe of Destruction". You should have asked for a letter of introduction. With that, you could have registered right away."
"Please let me register even if I don't have one."
My immediate rebuttal rendered Rebecca mute.
Well, there was no point in rehashing the past. I asked a positive question.
"I'm thinking of taking on a request with them. What do you have in mind? Oh, use my rank."
"E rank? Right."
Rebecca flipped through the papers in her hand.
Then she stopped and pulled out a sheet.
"Here's an interesting one. It's a request from the academy."
"The academy? Where is it?"
"The Academy of Advanced Studies of Cartilard. They're asking for materials."
Rebecca looked a little surprised.
Is she doing it on purpose? As long as my real name doesn't spread, I don't mind.
I let the scowl slide and asked her about the request.
She said that they were looking for materials that were easy to prepare and store and that they didn't care what kind of materials they were. The reward is low because it's fairly simple, but since it's a request from three graduate schools, the guild's assessment is a little extra, she said.
I see. So the materials we're using were collected by adventurers.
When I thank my colleagues, Rebecca adds.
"This request is popular because it's easy, but I don't put it on the board very often. We need people who are good at collecting and will do it right."
It fits Rebecca-san's glasses. I'm grateful, so please stop looking at me.
I turn around and ask everyone with my eyes.
"Isn't it easy? Isn't it good?"
Markant replied, and the others agreed. fr eewebn ovel.com
I nodded one and told Rebecca I would take it.
"Well, I'll ask then. And, if it's a magic stone, I'll buy it, no matter how bad the quality is. It's a different request originally, but I hear there's always a shortage. Of course, I'll give you a little."
"Understood."
I agree and leave the counter.
What I have to do is much the same as usual. I dive into the forest and gather whatever materials I see, and from the monsters, I get some magic stones. I would like to have some magic stones, but now I will contribute to my classmates and seniors.
But even if I collect them, they will be useless unless they match the students' abilities.
Danil seems to have been thinking the same thing and asks me.
"How good can you be?"
"Well.."
Aside from a year, I have no idea as to the rank of my senior year.
Rebecca said "easy", so materials that people can handle even in "Mixing 1" would be a safe bet.
"First, I'd like to hold down the materials for the alchemical solution, Ranim grass, and Soglio berries. Both of them should still be available this time of year. I also want to get some Selong grass for a healing potion and Kungsu grass for detoxification. If we don't have enough of them, we'll go for blood-boosting Latam stones. That one doesn't matter what season it is."
"Can you handle it? It's a little difficult to handle."
"Oh, I see. I've been working on it since "Mixing 2″? If it's someone other than me, it's impossible. If not, we can use Latam stones to get the numbers."
At that moment, my words were drowned out by the sound of the door loudly being opened.
The "Battle Axe of Destruction" gaze at it with disgust, and the regular adventurer returned to his own purpose.
This feeling, oh, it's been a while here too.
It was a large man with a skinhead who entered the guild.
He took a leisurely glance at the floor.
And when he found me, he rolled his eyes.
"Te–Tenko Aniki!
The next man, Barden, also has scars all over his face. He's still smiling.
And as soon as they cool down from their shock, they let out an unintelligible scream, and both flew through the air.
The world calls this an attack.
As I moved to avoid the two troublesome people, my vision was unexpectedly blocked.
A loud sound as loud as their appearance echoed, and Zeret and Barden were blown away.
"What the hell, guys?"
It was Markant who stood there.
Zeret and the others seem unable to comprehend what has happened and are rolling on the floor, stunned.
Behind them, Corpus stiffens. Seems that things are unfolding too fast for him to keep up. The other one does not seem to have the slightest intention of following along and heads for the bulletin board without a second thought.
The behavior of these people leaves even Markant perplexed.
"I thought they attacked us out of the blue–are they your acquaintances?"
"Call us "Everlasting Crop"…"
"You! How dare you talk to my Aniki! Get out!"
Zeret gets agitated in the strangest of ways.
If you're going to be respectful, don't interrupt the conversation.
I have no choice but to call out to the pilot who is examining the board.
"Do something, Ismira."
"They're not going to die. Leave them alone."
Without looking back, she said.
She's being thorough with this guy.
I sighed and apologized with my eyes to Markant.
"Can you just let it go at that?"
"Oh well. It'll at least give you a little familiarity."
While saying this, Markant laughed like a ferocious beast.
