Uhm, what kind of situation is this?
The whole course is scheduled to end in the morning, with the first half being classroom lectures and the second half being a practical training. With that being the case, all beginner adventurers gather in a private room with desks.
““……””
—But, why are they (the flashy-dressed swordsman and mage) sitting on my left and right side?
In front of me is a podium, and one of the burly staff member from earlier is standing there while glaring at the two people beside me. The two other burly staff members are guarding in both corners of the classroom.
By the way, Shiro and Ao are in the seat behind me, next to the woman who kept on apologizing for her two companions.
The atmosphere in the room is very tense. No one is talking about unnecessary things. Everyone, except for the noisy party members, were in a low mood. I guess all of us are wondering how things had come to this.
“Well, we have some spirited guys here today so let’s start right off the bat.”
The muscular staff member standing at the podium in front of me had shaved head and is wearing sunglasses ——in fact, all the staff members in this room are the same. In addition to that, they are wearing a suit that are so tight that it looked like it is going to burst at any moment. It made them look even more scary. I almost had the illusion that they are members of a mafia, not staff members of the Adventurer’s Guild.
“All right. Let’s start the lecture. I want to leave more time for your practical training so let’s get going.”
I could tell that through his sunglasses, he is glaring at the two people sitting on my both sides. The attitude of these two people next is really hateful after all.
Ah, just why did I end up between them?
“Now then, take out the booklet that was given to you when you registered as an adventurer.”
Everyone puts a booklet on their desk.
Huh?
The two of them did not have a booklet on their desks but they still have the nerve to act upright.
“Oi, why don’t you two have your booklets? It was only handed out yesterday.”
“Thrown away.”
“Huh?”
“I said, I threw it away. One book is enough for a party, right?”
Silence.
From the very beginning, the two of them did not do anything right. The temples of the staff member who is acting as the lecturer are twitching, the blood vessels look like they are about to burst.
We are all in our tenterhooks.
At this point, the staff member in the corner came to the front and he deliberately and carefully placed a booklet on the desk of the two. He also did not forget to grin at them. The swordsman and the mage had poker faces, but their legs are shaking.
By the way, the booklet is in the size of a small paperback book, so it can be carried with you.
“Be sure to carry this booklet with you. You must not leave it to anyone else.”
I’ve also heard the same thing from the receptionist before. It’s the rule of thumb for adventurers, so how could they throw it away? I really think they got loose screws on their head.
“Adventurers are said to be a bunch of ruffians, but without trust, you can’t have a job. If you fail too many requests or do something that makes you untrustworthy, we will revoke your adventurer license.”
This is the same for all professions. You can’t entrust work to someone you don’t trust.
“That’s also the reason why adventurers are ranked and each have a limited number of requests that they can take. After all, there are some people who want to get rich quickly so they just take on requests even though they don’t have the ability to do so. As for the ranks I’ve mentioned, there are ranks from S to G rank, but you should aim for E rank first.”
Again, the guild staff member glared at the two people sitting on my both sides. It’s partly to keep them in check, but I’m also feeling intimidated.
Anyways, I guess this is what the innkeeper meant when he said that if I go up two ranks, I will graduate from being a beginner.
“Naturally, it’s forbidden to steal the achievements of other adventurers, that’s just what a robber does. Of course, you are also prohibited to intentionally hurt other adventurers, even if he or she is your party member.”
Once again, the staff member made a piercing glare at the two. He emphasized the “intentionally injuring someone” part. I think they are worried that the other woman will be badly treated.
“When accepting a request, it is important to do a lot of research beforehand. Even if it is simply gathering medicinal materials, it is very important to do research in advance.”
This is important not only for adventurers. I’ll ask the receptionist for more information about collecting medicinal herbs later.
The explanations that followed were all common sense, not just for adventurers, but as a person.
Hmmm, I wonder if these two can understand that……
