The labyrinth, counted as one of the seven-generation secrets, has a laminated structure consisting of dozens of hierarchies. The hierarchy is stacked towards the basement, increasing in depth from one level to the next.
On the ground at its 0 tiers, there are labyrinth cities that continue to expand in circles so as to surround the entrance to the labyrinth and now boast a comparable size to the capital of a small country.
There are numerous shops for adventurers diving into the labyrinth, and there are also groups of adventurers not found in other cities - commonly known as clans - which have developed as cities for adventurers.
However, it is not yet possible for adventurers to reach the deepest depths of the labyrinth to be present.
"Wow, this is the main mountain of the Adventurer Alliance, the Alliance headquarters, isn't it?"
The Labyrinth City houses the Alliance Headquarters, which brings together alliances from all over the world. The headquarters building, which shifted its neck to the limit and the lislite looked up, was a luxurious and splendid building up to the decoration, as it was only the main mountain of the Alliance and its size increased.
"Here, yeah... what was it? What a test to say, don't you, Senior?"
"It's a labyrinth entrance exam. It's commonly known as a mole test. It's been a long time since you've been an adventurer, so you should know that in common sense."
"And I knew it! I just kind of forgot."
"I told you I was going to the guild to take the mole test long enough."
Leave it alone for one second if you hadn't listened to people, or if you'd barely gone through your head listening to them.
Adventurers who come to the Labyrinth City must be tested, at Alliance headquarters, before diving into the Labyrinth. This is the story of a category that is common sense among adventurers, also explained when joining the Alliance.
The purpose of the exam is simple and will be to see if you have the strength to dive into the labyrinth or not.
but it's a tough test there, sometimes paid for in advance.
"But why do you need an exam when you're just going into the labyrinth? It's kind of like classifying a school."
"One way or the other, it's an entrance exam. Sometimes it falls. Nor does the Alliance want to increase the number of deaths meaninglessly."
What makes the difference between the labyrinth and the outside world is the demonic existential density.
The labyrinth is home to a limited number of demons. Inevitably, the higher the chance of encounter, and the deeper you dive, the more skill you need to ripen the battle continuously.
In that regard, the founding adventurer can't stand his teeth. They are also inexperienced in fighting demons and have a small number of requests they have made. If you dive into the labyrinth in such a state, you will be crushed by the power of numbers, and you will only die.
The Alliance therefore restricted access to the Labyrinth by rank.
Any entry below the C-rank is prohibited. Activity in Solo is above A rank.
And completing the mole test is a condition for the Alliance to grant access to the Labyrinth.
"Well, still, there's always a guy who's unscrupulous. There's luck, and I passed this exam, so there's no guarantee it's gonna be okay."
The truth is, an adventurer as soon as he completes the exam has a 20% chance of survival in a year?
So, to gain enough strength before going to the labyrinth, is a commandment conveyed among adventurers.
Incidentally, though, the curse of being an adventurer disqualified bastard who doesn't even know what he's capable of, and the meaning of diving underground, seems to be included in the common name of the mole test.
"Ahhh... kind of seniors, haven't you been trying to scare me lately?
"I know you're just telling me there's a reality like that."
The recognition is sweet, or, unlike the gilks who went in earlier, they just stabbed a little nail in the list of tourist moods enough to look up at the guild building as a bokeh.
I don't need to be scared, but I just want you to feel a little more critical.
What we're trying to challenge is a secret that no one has ever been able to get behind in the last few thousand years, and it's never been sweet.
"Look, let's go, Lislit. Everyone's gone first because you're so horny."
"Oh, wait, seniors! I'm always the only one trying to put it down, so really already!
"Don't blame people, blame people"
With my habit of stopping on my own, I hurried inside to catch up with everyone who was going before me, wearing a decopin on my wristlet.
Blood and sweat, then mixed with the smell of iron, the aroma of alcohol and fragrant meat.
Turning to the back left at that, there was a large tavern, overflowing with the hustle and bustle of many adventurers.
On the other hand, there is space on the right hand side with requisitions and the like, and right next door is a line of receptionists accepting requests and buying materials.
This alone was too much for the guild's function, but the staircase stretched from the center leads to the upper floor, which still seems to be equipped with something.
"That's the main mountain of the Alliance. You don't have the same facilities as the others."
"Sure, the receptionist's level is high"
"That's not what I meant, you porn prince"
Joining the gilks waiting inside, observing uncommonly, he turns his neck when he says where the test venue is.
I'm sure the contents of the mole test were limited status disclosures and a simulated battle to see combat technology, but I don't see a wide area here where the latter might be able to do it.
"You don't seem to be upstairs."
"Yeah, if it's this big, you don't know where you can take the test. In the meantime, why don't you go up the stairs?
"No, isn't it quicker to ask?
And he said he was exchanging words with Shall.
"Kukuku, that doesn't extend. The rookie reception seems to be on the third floor of the guild. Also, they say mock warfare takes place outside."
"That's right, Cecil. Ears fast."
"By the way, but to take in Rookie, the big clan is always putting someone there. Something funny is about to happen, Lord."
…………
I don't know what to do, it's not a wrist, but I'm dying to turn back, too.
Cecil wants to be funny = No shit. This rule of thumb is quite a median.
But I went up the stairs to the third floor silently, with a lot of anxiety, talking about which side to turn back.
On the third floor, up the stairs, there were apparent adventurers who, as Cecil said, were not new Americans, no matter how they looked. I guess those are the adventurers they've come to solicit rookies from each clan.
"... wow"
I stopped on the stairs and accidentally zeroed.
"What's awesome, Ridge?
"It's air. Those people, probably all of them, are strong enough to be mildly quoted and S-ranked. That's so many... you'll never see them anywhere else."
"Heh, you've come to the wrong place, so have we."
Totally, I shudder.
I've never been in a place where so many S-rank adventurers meet together before.
That's the labyrinth. A city where adventurers gather from all over the world.
I guess it's not uncommon in this city for A-rank adventurers and such. If you suck, it's S-rank.
Such were the relatively young adventurers who, in uniform restraint with the others, were observing, waiting in line and in turn.
"Oh, that's the status inside. You'll be able to do this right away."
At the end of that line, the adventurers who came to solicit were listening seriously to the loud voice of the guild staff reading out the status.
I don't care how you look at it. This just looks like the guild is assisting with the clan solicitation.
Perhaps that's what the Alliance thinks, given the fact that it's deliberately setting up a place like this.
"You don't have a problem with your ability to be avant-garde. Now, in the training ground behind you, have the person in charge look at testing your skills. Well, then the next one..."
Apparently, the next one goes down to the ground floor and is turned behind the guild. Did you go all the way out of your way to increase your chances of contact with the clan seeking rookies?
I was discussing it that way when I saw a few people go downstairs after him earlier, a newbie who had been praised inside.
"Okay, next one, please"
After a while, our turn finally came. The first thing I did was go to Gilk. Gilk scratched his fingertips with a handed needle and drained a drop of blood on a simple plate. Then, the plate glows pale.
"Yes, thank you. What would you prefer for a position within the party?
"The guard or the guard."
"You're a guard from the middle guard. What are weapons used for?
"Weapons have swords and daggers, but magic can also be used for the crowd. But the most commonly used is the Demon Stone."
"Ha, ha, ma, is the Demon Stone the main thing"
Is this the killer who taught Seatella stupid methods of warfare? If the cost performance is too poor, the staff is also frightened.
"I mean they use magic for one second, so let me judge by that... Vitality C, muscle strength E, agility S... agility S ⁉ … Ha, and excuse me. The rest are Health D, Endurance A, Dexterity D, Intelligence B, Magic C."
What officials say about A, B, and C is an assessment of their ability to match adventurer ranks in order to protect personal information. In other words, with Muscle Strength A, Adventurer Rank A Adventurer Power is equivalent.
Gilk status is below C-rank except Agility and Endurance, Intelligence. It's a very distorted status. There is no excuse for staff to be stunned.
Incidentally, because each talent value is a sum of fine categories not known in the plate, it is not always smart because it is highly intelligent, and sometimes excels in perceptual abilities. Something else similar, and that's not always outstanding in the sense it is.
"If you have skills...... great. Do you also have 15. You can count on your future success."
Whoa, whoa, praise came up from around me, and I leaned my neck.
Why does Gilk want to see the new guy he expects?
"Critical, but also status, is fine as a magic job. How would you like to register as an adventurer?
"B-rank adventurer."
"What?"
He looks like an official is lying. No, it's just that guy's getaway foot is a big deal. Really.
"So, good luck to those of you with your practical skills. And good luck with your low talent."
Officials who hold their fists all the time and support Gilk with their eyes somewhere to be expected. Is S so rare at this young age? No, is it too unbalanced?
"So, Next"
"Yes."
Replying with a voice that seeped through tension somewhere, Lycood, who took turns with Gilk, similarly drips blood onto the plate.
"Yes, thank you. Where would the position be desired?
"It's the rear guard. The means of attack is magic. The Adventurer Rank is the same B-rank as Mr. Gilk."
"Were you one of them earlier?
"Yes, by the way, everyone in line now is above C-rank"
Lyckd avoided being asked again and again, like Gilk, by answering more than just questions from officials first. He also seemed to take care to make sure our tests went smoothly.
"You can expect that. Now let me take a look at your status."
Upon receiving the plate from Lycood, the official drops his eyes on it.
"Yes, the status is fine. All b except magic and intelligence. Intelligence and magic are A-ranked. Skills are also available in excess of 23. With this status, it wouldn't be that far away to be an A-rank Adventurer."
Even then, the praise of oops flies from around. I praised him honestly, too. As I was saying, unlike Gilk, he seems to be working out on average. Plus, I work out what I'm good at intensively. I can't complain.
"Okay, next one"
"Yes!"
Lislit, who came forward with a healthy reply, pinned her dog ears and pretended her tail. He seems excited about what the results will be.
Such an adorable appearance of her, in an atmosphere of slaughter somewhere, both men and women who were taking over rookies, cheeks loose.
"The position is avant-garde! Weapons are swords, I don't like magic!
"Yes, I understand. You don't have to be so loud in front of me, so it's okay."
Gently told by the official, Lislit turned her cheeks red. To go with that, the dog ears shun but the tail is still pretentious.
"Uh, Vitality B, Muscle B, Agility A, Health A, Endurance B, Dexterity B, Intelligence D, Magic C. The number of skills is 23. Yes, it's perfectly fine. Avant-garde status."
"Thank you!
You already forgot what you said earlier, and Lislit, who says thank you aloud, just stopped by to say praise and praise before she went to the training ground.
"Go quickly."
"Uh ⁉ aren't you about to praise the normal" Well done, that's my best disciple "⁉"
"Funny, my apprentice would have that status."
This vampire gets on well when praised. That hasn't changed for a long time. So I decided to deal with it spicy.
"And I'm too low on intelligence. At the avant-garde, though that would be fatal. Rather, feel the crisis. No, come on, hold it. Later, it's special training."
"Oh, my God."
To advise him to cross over again and again, he also became a little aware of the servant's wrist, dropping his shoulder and disappearing downstairs as he mesmerized.
Haruki, who held his fist anew in determination while dropping off such a lislit figure, says with regret.
"Kuh... poor Lislit. If I were you, I'd praise you, praise you, praise you. So, from now on, give me a chamon! I'm always open to the system."
"Just do it quick."
The garment rushed with an absolute zero-degree voice the spring tree proclaiming just in time for the order.
"Well, then, get your mind back on it, next one."
"Okay, let's get this over with and go encourage Lislit"
"Ha, ha, so where does the position want to be?
Haruki declares magnificently to inquiries from officials who no longer seek to hide his shuddering face.
"Of course the position is Lislit's bodyguard. The weapon is my soul dedicated to her. Say hello!
"Do it right"
On behalf of the baffled official, the sweatshirt strikes Haruki's head with a grace.
What the hell, when the coat allowed Haruki, who was backwards giddy, to take a silent glance and step back, told officials how to fight Haruki's position instead.
"Is the position avant-garde and the main means of attack is the sword? He said he could use a little magic. Status is All B. It's really balanced. Skills, too, 20 and medium. Perfect avant-garde capability."
"What... seriously. I'm super average, aren't I?
Spring Tree is lightly shocked that it was rated lower than I thought, but in a few years after moving to this world, I think its status would be as broken as a dig.
Well, in Digg's case, on average, it would feel like a breakthrough.
Whatever it was, Haruki also disappeared downstairs, dropping his shoulder again.
"Okay, next one, please."
"Yes, my position is Zhongwei, now I use spears, but my main role is peer support"
Instead of Haruki, now the knit came forward.
What she calls support is not about luggage, but a role that relies on that skill. The skill lineage of the knitwear is not very combat-friendly. But that unique skill is very unique and powerful.
The name of the unique skill is' Resonance '. Skills that add up all the stats of one person to the knit and strengthen it as if it were a limit breaker.
Notably, the place is the knit and someone else. This skill can be enhanced by the knit itself and by one of your peers.
So even though it's called support, she's an all-rounder who can work in all phases.
"You mean support personnel. In that case, the criteria will be the same as for the guards. For status, the number of skills in All-C is 12. I see, it's slightly inferior to your peers, but you have the minimum status. Other parties will also be able to be active in the main."
"Thank you"
The coat will be thanked for the staff assessment and followed by Haruki and the others.
"Next, please."
"Hmm, is the position avant-garde? Means of attack can range from proximity to distance."
"I see. You're the leader of this party. You've attracted some brilliant young people inside."
Apparently, the middle-aged Luxeria, mixed with only one of us in common in terms of youth, was seen by officials as the leader of this party.
But when Luxeria shook her head, she turned her body about half way around and said,
"It's him. He's the leader of this party. Not me."
"What? Really? I apologize for that. We will now move to the evaluator"
I scratch my cheeks when Luxeria sees me and draws attention from all around me at once.
This is a city of adventurers from all over the world.
At the entrance to Alliance headquarters, I told Wristlit, "Oh, I'm tense, too." 'Cause one of my dreams finally hung me up.
Be the best adventurer in the world. This labyrinth city is the best stage to make that dream come true.
So I got a lot of attention from many adventurers and I was nervous inside. Perhaps there are some of the highest ranked adventurers in the world who have only heard rumors.
There are only two SSS-class adventurers in the world, beyond my father. Gilmouth of Wang Capital said that it was no longer an exaggeration to say that one left only the name of the past and retired.
And the other, the king who continues to reign in this labyrinth.
The most powerful man now said to be closest to God.
A leader who brings together the world's largest clan of adventurers - [Top of Sunny Sky].
His anecdote is a shame to count.
It's not even comparable, such as Tan, the hero in line.
Said he was the only one to challenge and win a group of dragons.
He said, he was present with the Beast God, continued to fight for seven days and seven nights, and was recognized as an apostle of the Beast God.
Said he challenged the dragon god, and divided the dragon from the inhabitants of men after that battle.
Says the number of SSS-class demons crusaded is thus over 100.
Says the demon king attacked the labyrinth, buried a large group of more than 10,000 demons by himself, and sent down the demon king.
Says the great powers have an inviolability treaty with him.
Says the current labyrinth's most aggressive point is his record.
Says he's been alive 500 years.
Says, says...
If you name it, I don't have a kiri. All the martial arts and courage a man deserves to be at the top of his adventurer.
If you're an adventurer, let's admire him for once. And I won't leak into it again.
He's an admirer, so to speak. From a different perspective than my father, I admire him. That remains the same now.
From nervousness, unconsciously, my back grows and my body becomes catchy.
Look at me like that, Charstena zeroes a couscous and a laugh.
"Usually they're all grown up and they're all together, but they're cute like kids."
"Or cute. Stop it. Because that's not a compliment to a man."
From Charstena's point of view, I may still be young, but I was terribly dissatisfied with that assessment.
I get a little embarrassed and when I turn away from her, I force my consciousness toward the front. And, it looks like we were just finishing our assessment of Luxeria's status.
"Excellent! Excellent! Vitality S, Muscle Strength SS, Agility S, Health S, Endurance S, Dexterity A, Intelligence S, Magic S! You have 25 skills! This will make you instant in a massive clan!
Officials send praise to Luxeria at will. The applause also rolls from around the area, but the situation is not the same as before.
I don't know how to put it, until earlier it was just them looking at us as new American rookies, but when it was Luxeria's turn, that gaze changed by striking, and it was like looking at a Gentile. Probably something of an age.
Officials also expressed surprise at Luxeria's status, but feel that it is still convincing.
"If you want to be in some clan, be sure to talk to your guild. A strong man like you would be happy to welcome you in every clan."
"... let's remember"
The pull-out personnel of each other clan, including officials, expose their frustration at Luxeria's vague return with no pulse. And instead, it was the gaze of hostility that was to be directed at him. A gaze that rivals Luxeria, like a good enemy.
Apparently, there's still a mistake in them. He said he slapped a lot of them because of it and new gear, but I still don't seem like a leader. Does age still matter?
There's nothing I can do about all this.
And as Luxeria went down the stairs looking uncomfortable, the next thing that came forward was Gold.
"I'm good at being someone's shield. The attack will blow up the bass or blow up the dokan."
"Yeah, do you mean avant-garde?
"? Is that what you're saying?
I didn't say that.
I'll keep quiet while I scratch my inner Gold.
"So, avant-garde. If you have a status... ⁉ This is...!
The face of the official who saw the plate solidified in amazement. It's another kind of surprise unlike Luxeria.
But as soon as you regain your sanity.
"And excuse me. This is not what you would see if you had this status at just 16...... Cohon! Vitality A, Muscle Strength S, Agility A, Health A, Dexterity B, Endurance SS, Magic A. The number of skills is 32. This status is comparable to Level D, No, Level I Explorer."
"That's right. Is that awesome?
"It's amazing! Isn't that awesome! The primary seeker is just a handful of adventurers who can handle deep demons over 60 levels. If you're still a younger generation like yourself, and you have the status you're going to have, you're going to hear rumors that Lykeberg has a talent."
Mr. Clerk... he's got a more frivolous status, I guess.
"Anna, I'm amazing! You did it!
"Wow, this! Don't try to suddenly hug me! That's... where there are no more people..."
Anna dyes her cheeks red step by step as she pushes Gold's face back with her hands. That face is totally a woman's face.
My mouth is sweet. What the hell are we supposed to do when they show us someone else's love comedy in front of us? Am I supposed to leave? Should I just leave you two and go somewhere?
I want you to give your vision a choice.
"Oh, is that a good time? We also have time, so we'll continue with the Inn..."
"And because I won't! Look, look, you go ahead, Gold!
"Yeah, alone?
"I'll hit you if you don't get there soon, you!
When courageous officials told her that she couldn't stand the shame anymore, Anna drowned her blood on the plate as she chastened Gold out, blushing her face red. Gold was boo-dropping all the time, eventually blooming bright red leaves.
…… Again, this is a great status. May I ask your position for a moment?
"The avant-garde. Attackers are fundamental to the role."
"I see you have no problem with the status. Rather, it's too good. Vitality S, Muscle Strength A, Agility SS, Health S, Endurance A, Dexterity S, Intelligence S, Magic S. The number of skills is 33. It's possible to fight with speed."
The official performs his job in a way that is no longer used to surprises, calm in a way, and seems to have given up in a way.
Along with that, the adventurers of appearance kept their motivation rolling in their faces.
"You're making a lot of money today."
"Sure, that's probably all one party. If one can solicit it, it will be a great force."
"Oh, I don't like it, but I'm in the mood."
I guess everyone's got a belly to take us all in, and Anna's gazing at me in line at the end.
"Now, please go to the practitioner"
"Okay."
Anna goes down the stairs with the returned plate in her hand. I dropped it off, and I put myself back on track.
Come on, here's the problem.
Problem # 1.
Sheetera goes.
"Yes, please let this one have a drop of blood."
"Impossible."
"Yes?"
'I said it was impossible. I can't bleed.'
"Yeah... what do you mean?
Troubled, I say the excuse I had in mind from the beginning to an official who had glanced at me, not at her, who was holding back right behind me.
"That's the kind of unique skill I have. I can't tell you the details, but she has that kind of cursing power."
"I see, are you a unique skill? Not being able to bleed is another unusual skill. So, do you mind if I judge you by your actual skills?
"Yeah, except she can't fight without a specific weapon, so I just need permission to use it"
"I don't mind that. There are many different ways to fight adventurers, so any use of weapons is allowed"
"Then there's no difference here."
I grinned inside that things were going well, and before I went down the stairs, I whispered to Seatella and handed her something.
"You can use this demon, but don't hit people, never"
"Understood, Master."
A gun-shaped piece of magic that Sheitella fixed herself. Take care not to hit people with permission to use it, then drop her off and I'll go to the next problem.
Problem # 2.
Charstena goes.
"The position wants a rear guard. The means of attack are magic and swords, but the best part is healing magic."
"Are you a healer? That's unusual. You're not in the Adventurer."
It would be true that it is rare. Most adventurers don't go to school. So many people can't use magic. The magic of recovery, which cannot be a means of attack among them, is even more valuable.
So basically, the means of recovery for adventurers is commonplace to rely on potions, but there is a high demand for healers who can use healing magic that is more versatile and more effective than potions.
Therefore, it was inevitable that a caged gaze of heat would gather on her more than ever.
But soon after that, they're stunned.
"Sh, status, all SS......"
I should say again, my anxiety has been disputed.
Abandoned the power of God, she was reincarnated, and we are fundamentally different ways to grow.
If we're going to build it up from 1, in her case, we're going to release the original power from 1. I mean, I don't need to grow it. As it grows, its power increases geometrically and functionally. Towards the full opening of her power as God.
"Such a status in heela...... yes...... it can't be. The number of skills also exceeds 40 comparable to the leaders of large clans. Who the hell are you...?
An employee who opens his eyes openly. The body knows or does not know, it is a step backwards than earlier.
When she gets a slightly sorry look at such an official.
"It's a secret."
That's what I said, I laughed. Men nailed by that poor grin. Officials who were men were also different from it and relieved.
I'm the one who's not funny about how they look like that. I ask him to reinforce his words as he solidifies that I'm the only one who can be relieved of her smile.
"Hey, so you don't have a problem with status, do you?
"What, ah, yes! also, no problem. Oh, there's no way..."
"Well, that's enough."
That said, I pulled Charstena away from the planted beast and promptly went upstairs. Then, arm in, stand in front of a few solicitors trying to chase it.
"If you want to talk to my people, including her, why don't you let me go through the party leader first?"
"Huh... I see that makes sense"
"Sure... I can't miss her delicacies, but I guess I should talk to you first."
I was willing to fight a battle, and surprisingly, I put a sheath of my heart in them. Apparently, first-rate is different.
Then one adventurer laughs and says.
"But I'm interested in you, too, who bring them together. Let's check the status first, and then we'll have a little chat."
"Right, that's good. Equal rights. Guys, is that okay?
Oh and the solicitors snorting simultaneously. I thought it was going to be a long day, but I turned back to where I was.
And problem number three.
I'll go.
I handed the blood-containing, pale-lit plates to the staff as many gaze gathered.
"For once, let me ask you, where would the position be preferred?
"Position, anywhere. Except for recovery, I can probably do it. The means of attack are basically swords and skills. You can also use magic."
"Do you mean all-rounder? Then the assessment will be more stringent…"
"That's okay."
If the all-C knit could pass, it wouldn't be an issue there. Instead, what I'm anxious about is my skills, not my status.
"Let's move on to the assessment. The status is... not as good as earlier, but it's a good enough delicacy. I'm concerned that the vitality is significantly lower than the B's, but the others are all-SS. Skills Ha...!
Should I say exactly what I thought, the official looked at the status, in the last skill section, and was stunned.
"Such an idiot... I can't believe you have more than 100 skills..."
"What? ⁉ Over 100 ⁉"
"Hey, the World Record of Skill Holdings (World Record) was updated some years ago and wasn't it 67? ⁉? What kind of rookie outperforms that by more than 30..."
Suddenly, over 100 staff members possessed skills, solicitors were present. A battle eventually runs in their faces to officials who ask them if there are any mistakes in their mouths and still insist that there are no mistakes.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not like Rookie, this is"
"Oh...... no doubt this is going to be rough. How many years? Storms like this are the only way into this city."
"Times change, make sure..."
It seems to have become more difficult than I thought. I've known for a long time that I have more skills than people, but I didn't think I'd get past World Records so lightly...
I'm afraid I don't know.
"Oh... what shall I do, this... report to the Guild Manager first? No, should we summon to the three biggest clans...... oh really what shall we do"
Wolfish officials. Attending the birth of New Records and solicitors. Forget the role and the words they said earlier to the shock and other violent earthquakes left by Charstena. They stand up.
"Hey, this is out of our hands. I don't want to carry such a serious case..."
"Oh, I'll get the head of the clan!
"Oh, you cheat, you! Chisho, why are we diving into the labyrinth only today?
From him who releases the service of solicitation, then he cannot escape. The reactions are really varied, but what they have in common is that they don't want to carry this role on their own?
I scratch the back of my head.
This would be bad if I left it alone and went to the practitioner...... but I just came to this city and I don't really know how to be on my own, so I can't even say the right thing, and what's really wrong with it?
And when everyone wasn't sure what they were doing...
"What if... what's your name, Ray?
─ ─ A voice suddenly rang from behind.
"Huh...!
I unconsciously jump forward and look back reflexively. I can't hide my surprise that they took my back without a sound, without a sign, without noticing anything. The heart pulses hard to annoyance, and cold sweats overflow from the body.
It was the man with the grey hair and eyes who called from behind. The grey-haired man looked at me with one hand on the floor and a scarlet flame in the other and laughed furiously.
"... good response. A delicate figure that doesn't match a rough shredding move. Plus, your reflectance rate reacted instantly. It's not very suitable for that age."
Just for a moment. I showed only a few moves, insight as if I saw through my movements.
"Boy, let's apologize. Something that surprised me. No hostility."
And a hegemony that creates enough scars not to resemble a gentle look and an overwhelming presence.
"... you can't be..."
It brings back stories I've heard on my head many times.
Says the man is the man closest to God.
Says the man is the best adventurer in the world.
Says the man is a grey-haired ship eye.
Says the man...
"Huh... World's Highest Rank Holder, [King Yingjie] Balatio Legal...... Huh!
The longing is now in front of me. And as grandiose as it must be, I rejoiced. If you are an adventurer, if you can speak to him, everyone will rejoice. Because he is the best adventurer in the world, reigning at the apex of many of Yingjie.
"Boy, do you know my name? It's quick and helpful."
"No adventurer knows a man like you. I've been hearing your anecdotes since I was a kid. Be an adventurer. I'm sure he will all be. Why did you give me my name? I'm honored."
Excellent honor. Nothing makes an adventurer happier than asking King Yingjie to remember his name.
"You don't have to be modest. You're very famous. In a good or a bad way. As the son of Redick, the immortal hero, another immortal who avenged him. And more recently, a young hero who slaughtered two SSS-designated monsters"
Just one. King Yingjie, who has broken my identity on this occasion. Did I just say that the insight was just right?
"Dude, no way... you mean that was all true? You're lying, man."
"... if that guy admits it, it must be true. That's King Yingjie. I was watching him faster than anyone else."
"So solicitation fails? Well, that guy can't help it."
The adventurers who had come to solicit him seemed to have regained his composure by showing up. In addition, the flow of rejection of nature and solicitation begins to arise on the spot.
"Everyone knows about you. People look at the bad side all the time, but many expect it from you. Including me."
"That's... a real honor. As much as I want to jump and rejoice."
King Yingjie offered his hand to me with an unexpected smile.
"Boy, don't you want to try to bring that power to higher altitudes? To the top of the sunny skies together, beyond the ends of the world, why not adventure?
"That's... even if I accept the invitation to join the clan?
"Yes, I am."
King Yingjie slowly shook his head vertically. I was overwhelmed by the invitation, and unconsciously reached for the offered hand.
But just before I touched it, I thought about it.
I was wondering if this was really okay.
"... that's a really nice story, but I'll let you say no. I know it's not like you're the best adventurer in the world to ask me out, but I think we're gonna make our own clan. So I can't ride the invite."
This is a lie. I'm not talking about that.
But I still think I want to go beyond admiration rather than get close to admiration.
"... well, too bad. But, boy, why don't you come visit me at home once? I want to suit you...... no, there's someone I want you to meet"
"On the platform at the top of sunny weather? That's something I don't even wish for... Who wants to match me?
"That's the conversation we've been having since we met. Bye, boy. See you soon."
King Yingjie walked away slowly when he exchanged promises with me. After I dropped him off like that, I exploded the emotions I was enjoying.
"Whoa, whoa!
I've spoken to that Yingjie king! I made a deal!
With the hero in the story!
Let's brag. Let's be so proud. Anything, just to tell you this story, you can go back to Sierra Village.
"I want to dream I can go to the platform on the top of sunny weather. It would be amazing. I guess it's big. I guess it's cool."
I stayed excited for a while and kept making one noise on the spot.
