It was not until the next day that the final result of the practical exam was announced by the examiner, Maricia. While everyone is waiting for the results with a nervous face, Maricia opens her mouth.
“There will be a retest.”
“““R-Retest!!?”””
Everyone is surprised by the words as they never expected it.
“We didn’t know beforehand that there was a goblin lord there. And that there could be such a ridiculous number of goblins in that lair. If we knew from the start, we wouldn’t rush in with a fledglings like you guys. It was even in the kind of level where a skilled party of adventurers working together could get by you see.”
It seems that it was an unexpected situation. Considering the level of the examinees, at that time, I just thought the level of difficulty was ridiculous.
“The examiners like me didn’t even do much to justify an evaluation, so this exam is invalid. We will hold another practical exam at a later date.”
The examinees let out a sigh of relief after hearing that.
“T-thank goodness…I couldn’t do anything at that time.”
“Phew!.…I thought I was going to fail the exam because I rushed into things like that without thinking about the consequences…”
They seem to be satisfied with the retest.
“But you guys, keep this in mind. Irregularities like this one are not uncommon when you’re on an adventure. Every request has a difficulty level set, but when it comes to subjugating low-rank monsters, you can’t let your guard down. It’s a daily occurrence that when you actually go there, the set difficulty level is actually completely different.”
The examinees swallowed their saliva.
“There are probably some people who have lost their resolve to become adventurers after this incident. Of course, such people can decline the retest. Look here, I’m not trying to fan the flames but, even when we first met, as I had said, it’s definitely smarter to settle down and get a normal job than to be an adventurer. As someone who was about to die a while ago, I can vouch for that, kuhahahaha!”
“““(It’s not funny…)”””
It seemed that perhaps some of them would not actually come to the retest. There are a few people here and there who clearly have that kind of face.
But a retest huh….
It can’t be helped, but it’s troublesome.
“Mmmm. I’ve been unemployed for a long time now, I want to be able to earn my own money as soon as possible…”
“““Is that something a baby should say!?”””
When I mumbled to myself, everyone poked at me. Fortunately, Fana said that I could use her house freely, there are food in my subspace so it wasn’t much of a big problem.
“No, only you kid has passed.”
“Eh?”
As I was thinking about this, I was surprised when Maricia suddenly told me that I passed.
“Is that okay?”
“No matter how we think about it, there’s no point for you to retake the exam. At that moment, you’re much stronger than me, a B-rank adventurer you see. So, in your case, it’s a different story. Quickly take your adventurer license and take on more and more difficult tasks.”
That is to say, I was able to become an adventurer safely.

“Hey, Guild Leader.”
“Maricia, I’ve heard the general story. There was a Goblin Lord, right? It was my fault. Our lack of investigation put you guys in danger. I’m sorry.”
The guild leader, Dorje, stood up and bowed his head as soon as a boyish female adventurer entered the room. He has already received the first report.
During the adventurer exam’s practical test, where she was the examiner, an unexpected situation occurred and the participants were almost wiped out. The content of the exam is decided by the guild. The examiner was only evaluating the examinees at the request of the guild so there was no fault in this case.
“It doesn’t matter. No, well, it did not go as planned but more than that, I am concerned of something else.”
It seemed that what Maricia wanted to ask was something else.
“What’s the matter with that baby!? It’s already unbelievable that he could talk and walk, yet he even easily cut the goblin lord in two with a sword! He also easily wiped out a large number of goblins with magic! On top of that, he also used Extra Heal! That magic is more effective than any other healing magic in this city at the moment. No one else could do that. Where the hell did that kid come from?”
“Ah? What… w-well, he is about a hundred times more amazing than I expected…”
