The examiner appeared sooner than expected after only three seconds of moving to the training center behind the guild to wait.

"Well, I didn't expect you to come ahead of me, the examiner, to take the promotion exam."

"Ha... hi"

Funny... the receptionist said she was waiting for me to go ahead, and it's normal for me to be there first, right?

"Am I right? That reaction... you don't know who I am, do you?

"That's the first time we've met..."

"Kah, this is why the countrymen! I'm an instant Zedan, and I'm a well-known B-rank adventurer here, right?

"Sounds like two quick names."

"You're unresponsive. B-rank, huh? You got two names?

"Be proud after you rise to A-rank"

"Stuff, I'm busy with a habit that hasn't even made me D-rank... but it makes sense what you say. If you're a man, you'd have to go for A-rank! I'm gonna get a promotion this year!

"Good luck."

"Whoa! See you later!

The examiner left soberly, as the two names of the instant blow showed.

……

…………

........................... what about my exam!?

"Wait a minute, motherfucker!

I rush after him, but he's nowhere to be seen already. I don't know why, more than anything else, the guy who looked like an AGI specialist was the exam officer... if he was the one swinging to other status, I wouldn't have to lose him!

"Yeah, the crowd's in the way! We have to find it from the sky."

Run up high in the sky on Tianxiang Heavenly Drive to find objects that move at high speeds on the ground.

Cats, dogs, kids, perverts and guards... no, I can't find them! Did you just walk into some building? Think about me, where that old man I just met might be headed next!

"Mmm!"

Intuitive flashes!

That exam officer is going to be promoted this year! I said and left. In other words, my conversation with you is motivating and increasing for some reason. When it comes to where motivated adventurers go, it's probably a guild! Aren't you going for a new quest and a rampage!?

"That foot speed, you won't be in the guild anymore. Then... there he is!

There must be one man on his way to the south gate at a fierce speed, and he must be the examiner!

"Let them get away with it!

You can't just skip in parallel like you normally do and chase it down to Arre. So angle it a little and accelerate gravity to your side. But this is not the only way to chase him yet.

So the next thing you know, it's nothing special. Just use Tianxiang Tianzhi to accelerate even further. Finally, by putting Lance in front of me, who doesn't know when to drop air resistance to reduce it even to the extent that I feel it, I am now a meteor!

"Fuck you wait!!!

"Mm, killer!?

"Chip, did you take it off...!

Oh, you shouldn't have guessed. I'm so glad you avoided me.

"Are you... a countryman from earlier? You're not gonna accompany me on my quest, are you? I don't know if you'd like to order a high-ranking quest soon, but a B-rank quest isn't a sweet enough one for an E-rank chick. You have to improve your rank before you try."

"You'll be watching exams to increase that rank!?

"Hmm? Uh, yeah, he was. He was! No, I'm sorry. I forgot about the tension. But it's enough to chase you to my run of B-rank adventurers, and you can pass now, okay? Yeah, I mean passing."

"Hmm proper... it doesn't make sense that I chased him desperately..."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But if you're not convinced, I'll give you a quick exam."

"Oh, no, not if you pass."

"Exam content is three choices! Collection, Crusade, Match! Come on, pick whatever you want!

"Talk to me!

Goddamn it, this guy's totally in exam mode.

But three choices, huh? That's like when you're in some kind of tutorial. Unlike then, I would appreciate it if any of them were cleared in one.

I knew if I were to choose between these three, would I collect them? The desired item falls asleep in storage. And, until now, I would have chosen to collect for such cheap reasons. But I learned! I'm not gonna get caught up in this simple trap anymore!

"... then let me decide whether or not to accept it in the game"

"You know, I'm pretty confident I'm gonna pick a match out of these three."

Why did you choose the game? That's to avoid the difficulty of waiting if you were choosing the other two options!

For example, suppose you chose to collect, right? Then this happens.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"In collection!

"Fine. Collect 20 herbs and magic grass in the next hour!

"Then I already have it!

"The fool! It's an exam, so I won't admit it except for what I've collected from now on! And of course what I bought! Examiner, don't lick it, okay? I can tell the freshness of the grass, so if I'm wrong, I'll know in one shot!

"Shit, you're a good exam officer for nothing!

"Ha ha! If you know what I mean, hurry up and find it! It's been three minutes, right?

"Shit! Remember. Yikes!

Oh, my God, no matter how much I look, I don't see the last bottle of the herb! Not this, not this! So this is the guy!?

Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

"Shit! Why is Mandragola here?

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

And every time we drained the grass until after exam time, there would have been a terrible future ahead of us to keep returning to death in Mandragola.

Next crusade, but this is what happens if you choose this.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"On a crusade, of course!

"Fine. Then come crusade 20 Big Slime and 20 Kick Rabbits, and the whole Fat Bison thing by tomorrow!

"We can afford it!

I was able to defeat the ram and the slime immediately, and after that, I just need to find a cow or something. It's easy to win. Oh, did you stay there? Knock 'em down and get promoted to D-rank!

"Burl......"

"Fat cow, I have no grudges against you, but you're gonna have me as a basis for passing the exam! Shh!"

"Bumo?"

"Hey, what's the feeling now...? It was like hitting a thick chunk of rubber. Ha, no way!?

Monster

Massive Bison LV80

Was it still a different kind of monster? But for Christ's sake... even if this seemingly obese looking cow says its entire body is covered in enlarged muscle armor?

More than not being a crusade target, wasting time fighting such a bucket is not a good idea. This is a good place to run.

"Wow! That giant, I bet your legs are slow! I'm gonna let you get away with this!

"Burlwoo!"

"Ha, fast!? What a speed...... if you eat such a rush, Mr. Drag Disaster will be in the repair period again!

"Bumowoo!"

"Bye, get caught up. Argh!

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

So I get bummed out, and for some reason, I'm looking for Fat Bison. You wait first and you keep repelling me. Sometimes it can evolve uniquely on the worst path.

The best way to avoid such a future is to choose a match. Besides, collecting and crusading is going to take a while, so it's bad for everyone who's waiting.

"Tell me the rules of the game"

"Hmm, right... then if you hit me with a single blow, I'll pass"

"What's the time limit?

"No. I'm gonna hang out with you till you gibber up."

"You're gonna give me a gibberish in about a blow."

"Huffle, that's exciting. Then get this gear on before it starts."

"What's this?

"It's dangerous in case you get hurt. It's less lethal training gear."

"Heh... Really?"

Not good, not good, that I can't use my regular gear!? How did this happen when the difference in status was meant to be compensated by the ability of the Phantom Crystal Sword!

My status without gear correction is a garbage numeric, huh? Can you hit that speeding opponent?

"Hmm? What's up? Is that a gibberish before it started?

"Why not! Look, I've rearmed you, so just get started!

"Ha ha, you can start whenever you want at that time."

"Then fast!

"It's late!"

"Oh my God!

You don't hit me at all!

Wherever I punch in, I'm avoided with a piece of paper. Besides, this guy hasn't moved since I saw my attack!?

"Look, look, what's going on? An attack like that won't hit me for the rest of my life, will it?

"Don't lick it!

"Whoa, that was a shame. If we hadn't wasted our moves, our current attack would have hit us."

"Grungy..."

If there's no waste of movement, my level of physical control is 25, right? Watch, you bastard... If the anger scales activate, I'll use Thunder Summon Storm Takeshi to decide the battle at once! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I haven't been attacked in any way since the game started, have I?

"Hey exam officer! Why aren't you attacking me from there?

"That doesn't have to be an attack. If you can capture my movements and hit the attack, then you won't bother to make it more difficult."

"That's an extra favor, Chickshaw!

"He's a loser. But I don't hate you, because guys like you succeed as adventurers!

"Thanks for that one!

"Hmm? Oh, Riley Leaf, you're finally back."

"How was it!?

"I was able to pass..."

I didn't know you'd have a hard time choosing any route......

I didn't feel like hitting anything with a positive attack method, so I managed to hit a blow with odd measures that fully utilized life magic and tricks, but it still took me almost an hour.

"You did it, Riley Leaf! But it's too late, Mr. Akeno, so I logged you out!

"Seriously. You've done something wrong."

Next time I see you, I have to apologize for something. He said it was a support job, and you want to make a cane and give it to him? Or better gear for fighting?

"Do you want to do one or two more quests today and break them up?"

"I'm sorry, Warhead, Marlon helped me out, but I couldn't play much."

"Don't worry about it. It's the usual, isn't it?

"I don't give a shit about Atashi either! Let's go get a quest!

"Oops. Oh, I have to go and report my passing"

"Come on, don't forget the most important thing."

"You're going to take the exam again!

"Give me a break about that..."

I'm so glad I noticed before I forgot. I'm not sure I'll clear the next time I do the same thing.

Well, we finally made our way to the Alliance to take our last quest of the day...

"Congratulations, Master Riley. As a result of the exam, the Adventurer Rank is now C-ranked."

"What!?

This is your permit to use the portal.

"Oh, thank you... not why!?

"Because Zedan, who worked as an examiner, recommended me and judged me to have the strength to significantly exceed the D-rank from the results of the exam."

It's just a flying class! Hehe, now you're free to use the transfer gates!

"Good for you, Riley Leaf. Now you won't be left alone every time you travel."

"Nice ~. I want Atashi to be C-ranked soon and be able to use the transfer gates!

"Marlon's only come and go with Firth and Advent yet, so why hasn't he hurried?

"Still, it would be more convenient to use it quickly! My brother and Ryleaf are going to help me with my Atashi quest tomorrow, right?

"Oh, leave it to me."

"I can't say no to my little sister's favor. If you're gonna do a full quest tomorrow, will you stop taking it today?

"Right, Log Out Today Already"

If I was going to do it tomorrow, I was totally willing to log out all three of them... but today's really bad timing is going on. New trouble broke in.

"" Ohhhh!!

A pair of strangers showed up pointing at us and shouting.

"I found you, AyrTurner!

"I found it, Ayle Turner!

Correction, apparently you need me personally, not us. You know that? There's no way that's happening.
