“Congratulations on passing the exam, Reus! I was surprised that only one person passed. But it’s only natural, isn’t it? You are amazing in a lot of ways.”
After Maricia told me that I had passed, Colette approached me.
“It’s thanks to oneechan for carrying me in your arms.”
“No problem. Wait-, now that I think of it, I don’t really get it… I mean, do you even need me to hold you?”
Yes of course. That way, I was able to enjoy your big breasts to the fullest. Of course, I won’t tell her that.
“Good luck with your retest oneechan.”
“Hmm… Maybe I’ll decline.”
“Ah? Is that so?”
“I think it’s about time…. I thought it was a little impossible after all.”
“I see.”
“Well, I just thought that if I became an adventurer and made a lot of money, I would be able to pay off my parents’ debt quickly…but….”
There seemed to be quite a serious situation. Well, that’s not an uncommon story.
“I knew that if I could use healing magic, it would be easier for a newcomer to join a good party, so I decided to leave my parents’ house and become an adventurer.”
It’s true that a healing magician is a much-needed talent for a party of adventurers. Therefore, even if you are inexperienced, there is a good chance that you would be added to the party of experienced people.
“Fortunately, healing magic seems to be in demand in many places too. So, I decided to work hard and send money back to my parents’ house.”
“Yes, I think that’s also good. Well then, take care oneechan.”
“Reus-kun too, take care.”
“Then, if we have a chance to meet again, will oneechan hold me?”
“Ahaha, Reus-kun, that’s kind of thing is age-appropriate.”
『You’re not mistaken. 』
“?, I feel like I heard a voice from somewhere just now…?”
“Hn? It’s just your imagination oneechan.”
After parting ways with Colette, I went to the Adventurer’s Guild window. I was supposed to be issued a guild card.
“Ilia-oneechan”
“Oh, Reus-kun? Come to think of it, the announcement of the result of the exam is today, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Hey, it’s okay, Reus-kun. You’re still a baby after all. You can try as many challenges as you like whenever you want.”
“Hn?, Oneechan, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean?… You took the exam ri-…… Eh? By any chance, did you pass…?”
Apparently, she just thought I had failed.
“I passed.”
“Eeeeeeh!?, You-, No, that can’t be… the average age of those who pass the adventurer exam is 16 years old, and the youngest record is 10 years old? There’s no way a baby like you passed, right? Oneesan is not that easy to deceive—”
“Ilia, this…”
Right at that moment, there was a staff member who brought something that looked like a document to her. Ilia lowered her eyes to look at it and leaned back.
“Huh-, you really passed!?”
It seems that she has just been informed of the applicant who passed.
“This is impressive! How many times has the record for the youngest passer has been updated!? What’s more, there is only one person who has passed this ti-… Huh!?”
It seemed that the information had not reached her yet, so I briefly told her that there was an irregularity in the practical exam.
“Goblin Lord!? You were all unscathed!?”
“Yes. It was tough because Maricia-oneechan almost died.”
“T-That B-rank adventurer Maricia-san!? But if the opponent is a Goblin Lord, even a B-rank adventurer, won’t be able to do it safely… Eh? Wait-, I saw her heading to the Guild Leader’s office a while ago, and it looks like she is very energetic…”
“Because she’s cured.”
“Could it be that there was a good user of healing magic in your group!?”
After a moment of surprise, Ilia finally proceeded with the procedure and issued me a guild card.
“Well, as you may know, adventurers start from E rank, it goes up to D, C, B, A, then S. There are a total of six ranks. There is a rank restriction depending on the difficulty of the request. It means that a novice E rank or a D rank adventurer cannot accept a highly difficult request.”
I also learned that there is a limit according to rank when I was studying for the written exam. In my previous life, there were quite a few cases where low-rank adventurers received high-difficulty requests and died because of them. It is a system that was created to eliminate such things.
“So, if you get to B-rank, you’ll be treated as a mainstay in most of the city’s guilds, and you can take most of the requests…”
I look at the rank printed on the guild card I received.
“I’m a B-rank huh.”
“This is an unprecedented exception! Normally, you’ll be promoted to E rank first. If you have a track record or your ability is recognized in the exam, you may be promoted to D or C rank, but I’ve never seen a B rank all of a sudden! Reus-kun, what exactly did you do in this exam!?”
“Hmmm, I defeated the goblin lord and cured the dying Maricia-oneesan. You mean those?”
“Y-You… w-what did you just say? Y-you accomplished bo~~~~th!?”
