No means were available to announce the interruption of the study.

Because no matter what the danger, it should not be an obstacle to the tester.

It was also considered that, as a guild policy, it would not be worthy of the "S-rank" of the highest ranking if it were not broken under any circumstances.

As a result, the S-rank is not created by completing highly challenging exams, as is the case every year. Rather, it can only be born once every few years or so.

Even adventurers who earn all A-rank points will therefore have a good opportunity to understand their immaturity.

But.

Until this time, it was a different story.

The more Toipo, the director, noticed the discomfort and contacted the guild first, the more "unusual" it was, far from the usual years -.

Phil senses signs of something.

Sheila next door asks how Phil is doing.

"What's going on?

"You, I'll ask you plainly. More like this, discover for yourself. Do you know we're being tested individually?

"Fine, it's nothing less!

"I don't think you're an ex-knight. That's a fair opinion..."

To Sheila's grandeur, Queena shrugged and sarcastic.

But neither did Kakuna follow Phil's perceived signs.

Since cooperation between the testers is not forbidden, they do not dare to imitate Phil's mouth shut.

……――

But Phil didn't try to open his mouth.

Sweat is telling on my cheeks.

It was telling the story of the seriousness of the situation with an expression.

"Hey, Philoo. Why are you keeping quiet? Do you want to pick flowers?

I'm poking Phil in the way Sheila made a little fool of herself.

But Phil saw them both, regardless of such a trivial joke.

"Don't you see?"

Just a word.

Stirred up, Queena and Sheila also point their nerves.

I haven't neglected to be more alert than I was, but Phil's words brought more concentration.

As a result, the conversation is broken, and each one of them wanders the exam.

"It's so quiet over there in the woods."

Sheila said as she turned right.

Later Queena nods too.

"Right. creepy enough."

In other directions we hear the stirring of beasts and demons.

Tranquility. That was clearly heterogeneous.

Phil releases words heavily against the two people who swallowed things up.

"It means there are guys, or they, who can quiet one direction in this area."

"... there must be other testers."

says Queena.

There are multiple adventurers in this forest who are also A-ranked.

"Right. But I'm not sure they were killed.... Though -"

Phil was about to say,

- Blurb.

Three adventurer cards vibrate.

That meant a notification from the guild.

I instantly understood that it was not a nomination request because I was here at the same time, and the three of them took the Adventurer card.

It was Sheila who saw the content and reacted first.

"Wow. He said it was recommended to waive the exam."

That's only a 'recommendation' -.

There was a far greater danger than I had assumed.

For this reason, the Alliance recommended that the test be abandoned.

But this is only a recommendation, not a compulsion. It means that if you can even break through the exam, you can be S-ranked.

"What are you going to do? I'm gonna keep going."

Phil cut and threw away just fine.

She had that much confidence and strength.

Queena, on the other hand, is somewhere cautious.

"... Waiver, huh? It's supposed to be a test that assumes any danger. And yet, this is not the best way to get a notification. It's not a classroom, so we need an ad hoc response, right?

"Perhaps, but this would be a recommendation sent by a guild official without a supervisor. That's about all I know about the crime scene. So this should be an extraction of the scene, not entirely decided by the Alliance"

"Does that mean you freaked out unexpectedly because you have weak supervisors or something?

Sheila listens back to Phil's words.

Phil says with an expression that can neither be affirmed nor denied.

"The S-rank of the guild oversees it. I'm not saying it's weak, but I'm saying it's just arbitrary"

"It's not like I'm darker than I am."

Queena tweaks into Phil's hidden thoughts.

"... well, I admit I'm arrogant. But I still have to go. Master Soria's waiting for you."

That is the possession of a knightly Phil.

She has a part that she can't give way to.

And when I heard that, Sheila couldn't shut up either.

"Mmm. I have to go for Jeed too!

That's for example promises.

Sheila's chivalrous obsession, that's what it looks like.

But Queena ties her mouth somewhere strong into one letter.

(... in the Stilbeats kingdom I almost lost in my wagamama. I may not be able to come back if I make the decision to keep going......)

The grass shakes with a washer, as if to echo such a stray.

Three people open their eyes and enter a combat posture.

But a few moments later my voice sounded.

"So tell the young man to go home honestly. It's hard not to be a veteran here."

Bearded Didge.

"What is a young creation! I'm the Prince of Stilbeats, the A-rank Adventurer's Weeg!

Weigh with your hands on your chest to exaggerate.

"A-rank is the same."

"You'll be the same, but at a different age! I'm young, I'm A-ranked!

"Mature and slowly piled up, I'm more certain."

Two adventurers making such a statement.

Weeg and Didge also find the three of them.

"What, you guys going too?

"I'm glad you're not friends with Jeed's brother's girlfriend!

I saw how they reacted, and Phil saw Queena.

"You are free to retreat. But if you're confident, shouldn't you go? I'm not interested, but I'm guessing you're a party member of The One."

……

Phil told me, and Queena shut up for a while.

Some emotion I can't give up springs from the depths of two.

"... uh! You got it! Let's go! And I'm not Jeed's girlfriend.

The blown out Queena decided to move on too.
