The practical exam is over, and Lill has returned from the dungeon.
“Apparently, I passed.”
“Good. Then let’s go get your guild card.”
When I asked about the exam, I was told that the content of the practical exam was to defeat the Floor Boss on the third level of the dungeon. In addition, it seems that it was a high-ranking species of kobold called Elder Kobold.
“Sadly, as soon as it saw me, it tried to run away, but I chased after it and killed it.”
“.…..The Floor Boss tried to escape?”
“I’m hearing such scenario for the first time.”
Anje and Fana are surprised.
Then Lindwurm said,
『Kobolds are dog-like monsters, and even though she is in human form, they instinctively knew that she is a dangerous being. To be honest, it didn’t turn out to be a proper practical exam, did it?』
As he pointed out, only Lill passed, and the other examinees had to retake the exam.
(Ayaya, I feel bad for the other applicants then.)
『Master, you are also the only one who passed during your exam.』
(That was unavoidable, so it can’t be helped.)
When we went to the window and told them about it, the receptionist exclaimed,
“Eh? Is this really true? Are you not mistaken?”
After checking with other staff members many times, she eventually issued Lill’s guild card.
“Suddenly, a B-ranked huh.”
“…..Un, I’ll definitely want to check it over and over again.”
“Mmm, usually it should start from E-rank.”
If you have a good track record, you may start from D or C rank, but rookies basically start from E rank.
“Master, is this amazing?”
“It’s amazing because it’s the same as me.”
I also started from B-rank. Ilia, the receptionist at Volante, was really surprised at that time as well. Fufu, she also had quite good breasts. If I have the opportunity again, I would like her to hug me.
“Uhm…… Apparently, it was not only the result of the exam, but the fact that she is a member of your party was also used in the evaluation.”
The receptionist in front of me explained.
I’ve contributed a lot to the guild, and maybe they are being considerate. It was a good thing, because if only one person in the party was of a lower rank, there would be a limit to the requests that we could take.
“We might as well take a request while we are here.”
So we head to the window for A-rank adventurers. Then, the receptionist proposed a certain request.
“I have a request that I would like your party to accept…… This is it.”
“Hmm, you mean to subjugate a band of thieves huh. Let’s see…. A band of thieves has been appearing frequently recently on the main road from Vegaltia to the Royal Capital, and although the guild has been doing its utmost to investigate, you guys still haven’t found their base.”
“That’s right. What’s more, they are especially targeting the dungeon resources that are being transported.”
The resources available in the dungeons are precious. It is this city that has made a great profit by selling it to various places and has developed. It was a big loss for the Adventurer’s Guild to have it stolen. For the pride of the guild, there was no way that such a group of thieves could be forgiven.
“Of course, when transporting the items, we always have skilled adventurers as escorts…… But they would suddenly show up in the middle of the night and take away supplies with unbelievable skill.”
There is almost no fighting. By the time they realize it, they have already been robbed of a valuable resource.
“According to the adventurers, the thieves in question just disappeared without a trace, just like an escape lizard.”
“You mean like that chameleon-like monster we caught during the A-rank promotion exam?”
Anje nods.
Escape Lizard is a monster with the ability to blend in with the surrounding scenery.
“Hmmm, I wonder if they use some kind of magic similar to that?”
“Un, that’s unusual for a thief.”
Anyway, the reward seemed good, so we decided to accept the request. We decided to accompany a group of merchants as escorts. It seems that they will buy the goods from the Adventurer’s Guild and sell them along the way to the Royal Capital.
“I’m the leader of this caravan but……”
A middle-aged merchant paused, looked at us and added,
“Are you sure it’s going to be okay to have a party full of young women like this escort us?”
