In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 355 Adventurer Rank, and Examiner.
The smartphone, which was placed on the sideboard beside the bed, highly begins playing Rossini's "William Terre Prelude".
... Shut up. I should have thought about choosing more songs.
"Huh... hello...?
I wake up with that ringtone and I answer the phone without confirming who I am yet to be clear of consciousness.
"Born! I was born!
Su's voice jumped in with an unbeatable momentum in the march of the Swiss Independent Army in the "William Terre Prelude" as well. I've been fine since the morning......
"Born... what?
Still unconscious, I ask Su while rubbing the lid that closes.
'Let the baby decide! My brother was born!
Su's consciousness awakens with clarity to that voice, which seemed to have exploded with joy.
Baby? Baby belongs to the Duke of Ortrinde house...... Su's mother!
"Right! Congratulations, boy!
"Uhm!"
Apparently, Su's mother, Ellen, noticed after midnight that she had given birth to a boy safely earlier. Both mother and child are fine and seem healthy.
This gave rise to a succession to the Duke of Ortrinde. If a boy had not been born, he would have succeeded the Duke of Ortrinde with a child born between me and Su.
I don't know about the Dukes, but my kid has an eight-ninth chance of being a girl, so I think (at least each first kid) it was hard to inherit the Dukes' house.
I was able to hang up the phone when I tried to fool around with exciting su. I guess I can't help but hang out with that tension in the morning because I've said I want my brother for a long time.
After a while I was dressed, a picture of Su holding the baby was sent with an email attachment. Uh, is his name "Edward"? Edward Ernes-Oltrinde. Ed, is that you?
"Edward" is said to be the name of Su's mother's father, or Su's grandfather, who died. Surely someone who could have used [Recovery] 's unattributed magic.
"Something has to be celebrated."
I don't know what to do. [Prison] Or a nanny car that grants and protects your baby from all things? No, no, it's too much. Can I have a celebratory set of breastfeeding bottles and cuddles I gave you when Prince Yamato......
Oh, I don't know about the simple printer I gave the Reef Reese novelist Empress. There will be more opportunities to take pictures from now on, and it will be a sticky note of memories if given with the album. Yeah, let's do that.
I finished dressing. I left my room to invite Yumina to the Duke of Ortrinde's house.
"Suh, you seemed happy"
"Usually when you're with us, you're as young as Rene. My brother, how glad you were born to be your sister."
Returning from the Duke of Oltrinde's house, we were relaxing on the balcony for an afternoon tea time.
When my brother was born and became my sister, Su felt that his usual shaking lurked the ringing and somehow showed a calm atmosphere.
Quiet su is good, but is it my pity that she still feels a little lonely when she seems more su naïve as usual?
The album book and simple printer I took for a souvenir were very pleased. So much so that I just took a family photo on the spot that included the butler, Mr. Reim.
I printed it out. With that as the first piece of the album, I guess his life will be engraved. Glad you gave it away.
"Yeah, well, it's hard to have a little brother."
"I'll have a hard time as a brother when I have a sister who snaps cookies at will at some point!
With the same deity, I spot Sister Hana Love puking my cookies in the seat next to me.
"I don't care about the details. Otherwise you'll be bald in the future?
"You're not bald! You're never bald!
You're bald! Even if you were bald, the Alchemy Building did have hair growth pills, so you'll be fine!
Nostalgia's smartphone notified her of the incoming call when she was in a dispute that didn't matter. Oh, it's from Lerisha, the Adventurer's Guild.
"Yes, hello. It's winter night."
'It's Lerisha. Let me call you about the example Adventurer Academy.'
Adventurer's Academy is a classroom where beginners are given some training to teach basic things like mindset, skills, and precautions as adventurers.
I've been planning this for a long time, but he's finally got a chick mould.
He wanted to hear his opinion as an adventurer, so he decided to head to the guild. I felt bad for pushing Sister Hana's opponent against Yumina, but, ma'am, she'll be fine.
It's been a long time since I've been through the castle gate, walking under the castle. It started to look a lot busier than it had just been done.
When the inhabitants of the town smile, they somehow feel happy about this one.
Brunhild is on the trading path between the Kingdom of Belfast and the Regulus Empire. A lot of merchants and travelers visit places like accommodation countries that are not accommodation towns.
In fact, those who hurry their way through can get through Brunhild in a few hours, so they can get through without lodging. But a lot of people say they're going to take an inn here.
Because there are mountains of things that are hard to see in other countries, starting with the Aether Vehicle, a magical passenger car in the town of Yuku, leading up to the Capsule Toy of the Strand Chamber of Commerce.
Even food can be eaten here in a multinational variety of countries. Even Eachen's rice dishes can be eaten.
If you pay the toll to Dungeon Island, you can go to the sea. It's impossible to bare a place like that without a reason to hurry. I'm making money because of you.
When you reach the Adventurer Alliance, which is set next to the Tavern, take a peek at the Tavern before entering the Alliance. Because if I had drunken flowers, I would pick them up on my way home.
There was no such thing as that drunken toddler liquor god inside. Don't be worried about where you're swallowing if you have to be...
As soon as I entered the guild, the receptionist sister sent me to Lerisha's room at the back of the guild.
"I apologize for taking the time to come here"
"No, I just had an appointment."
Mr. Lerisha and I sit opposite each other and are just briefed on the academy.
"First, in addition to the rank of Gold > Silver > Red > Blue > Green > Purple > Black in traditional guild cards, we will have a rank of White at the bottom. Sign up for the Alliance and anyone will be in this white rank first"
Hmm. A white rank further down the black rank?
"The Academy is an institution for basic training to the White Rank. But some of the first people to sign up for the Alliance will already have quite a bit of strength. Such people can be given the Academy's Rank Up exam and raised to the right rank. Of course, the exams are paid for."
I see. If you are strong enough, have you made it possible for you to take a higher rank request from the beginning?
I'm just thankful that I'm a low rank too, because I've been tangled up with some asshole higher-ranked adventurers. You won't have to beat him up and let him know what you're capable of.
"Who's on the Academy's faculty?
"Several retired adventurers and others will also win as well as temporary, active adventurers. After about two weeks of training, this instructor will automatically rank up from White Rank to Black Rank."
"It's not like white-ranked people always have to go into the academy, is it?
"Of course not. You can also do the request from the white rank to the tunnel and go up to the black rank. But the white rank basically focuses on chores, requests for sampling systems, and the crusade system will only be a considerably lower Warcraft stand-alone. A raven, a forest spider, etc."
Freshly adventurous beginners tend to take only crusading requests. A repeat of an impossible crusade, he doesn't even realize that a small amount of fatigue is accumulating, and as a result, he makes a huge mistake.
There's a lot of rookies I wouldn't ask if I told you about those things.
If you get slapped by a veteran adventurer at the academy, you might just change your mind.
In the end, it's self-inflicted where it hurts.
"What's going on with the admissions to the Academy?
"Of course we make it an inexorable amount. You'll be classifying and teaching for every instructor in charge, but it's the same amount of money."
If I hit a Spartan instructor, I might be tough. That reduces the risk of losing lives, I think it's cheap.
"It's a rank-up exam, but this will be judged by a few instructors. The Rank Up exam is a measure of the correct strength of a beginner who enrolled in the Alliance for the first time, so basically it only applies to the White Rank"
Typically, Rank Up adds the difficulty of the requests you have made, the success rate, the existence of problems within your Alliance, and many other elements. So they add and subtract points and rank up.
On the other hand, naturally, there is also the rank down.
I always fail requests, rub well with clients, disobey guild instructions, commit crimes, etc. so I fall back, but most of the time I end up in guild exile rather than rank down.
Because having such an adventurer doesn't benefit you as an guild. Rather, it is thought that there is still room to recover.
"Was the planned construction of the Academy near the southern plains?
"Yes. Seventy percent of it is already done. Apart from the Academy, I have one element of anxiety as an Adventurer Guild..."
Mr. Relisha frowns a little and opens his mouth. I don't know, there was something wrong.
"Convergence with a separate world previously said by His Majesty the King… If this becomes a reality, there could be more adventurous aspirants like Mr. Norn. In this case, I wonder if it should be measured by the strength of the adventurer himself or by the strength of the Golem he can follow…"
Oh, I see. Even if the adventurer himself is Zub's amateur, even Golem can do high-ranking requests.
"I think I should measure on the strength of the adventurer himself. You can take the golem if you're willing to, and you can think of breaking it and replacing it with something new. It's tough to lose Golem or get a higher or lower rank every time you replace it."
"Sure. In Mr. Norn's case, I allowed him to register because he was quite a user and that golem... I see."
I mean, I'm sorry about the adventurer who looks like a six-year-old beat me up. That kid seems to have a lot of strength, but he's not physically disadvantaged, and I don't want him to be too impotent.
"You're making academies not only in Brunhild, but also in other countries, right?
"Yes. In the meantime, plans are underway in Belfast, Leggles, Roadmare and Restia. This is number one, isn't it? So if something goes wrong, we're going to review the terms each time."
I was talking to Mr. Relisha, and I asked her what she doubted.
"... so where is the headquarters of the Adventurer Guild? Is that where the greatest man in the guild is?
"I'm sorry. You can't teach outsiders where headquarters is. And there is no such thing as the greatest. If you insist, the world has several guild masters, including me, and this guild master is the representative and manager of the guild."
Hmm. Maybe there's a long-lived species at the top like elves like Mr. Relisha and fairies like Leanne. I feel like I've asked the Doctor before about an adventurous guild that was already there during the ancient kingdom.
Maybe it doesn't change what we do now or in the past.
"So that's it. Your Majesty the King… No, as a Gold Rank Adventurer, Desired Winter Night, I have one favor to ask you."
"... what is it?
I didn't have a bad feeling about it, but I decided to just ask.
"I was wondering if you could be the exam officer for the Academy's first rank-up exam. Not every time, only this time."
"Examiner, is it"
Hmm. To be honest, it's a pain in the ass. That's enough to gauge their strength, though. Wanting to rank up means you're confident in your arms. I don't have a problem with people who don't rot afterwards, but they seem to have someone to say they were unfairly appreciated or something......
Well, you won't be covering for complaining any more than the guild is in control, and I'm not the only one who decides.
I don't mind taking it on...
"Do you mind if I hide your identity? The point is, if you know what they're capable of, right? You don't have to tell them who I am or who I rank, do you?
"Right...... I thought it would be better to have the title Gold Rank Adventurer if possible, and the exams would be convinced of that decision as well. It might be an easy practical example to understand to teach that you should certainly not judge by your appearance..."
Jeez, Lerisha was thinking as she looked at me. No, well, I know what you're trying to say. It's often said that you don't look strong.
"But many know what His Majesty the Duke looks like when it comes to concealing his identity? I usually see you hanging around town a lot. Are you wearing a mask?
"No, no, that's when I stop because I did it before and it was disapproval. It's not difficult in itself to change your appearance with the Phantom Magic [Mirage]. Here."
Let me put together the illusion of the right person I picked up online in front of Mr. Relisha. I know when I touch it, so I won't leave it to my shape or height, but otherwise I'll be somewhat free.
I don't know if this is me, and explaining it to me as a silver or red-rank adventurer, not a gold rank, would suffice as an examiner.
"Right. I thought you might be okay. The truth is that the Gold Rank Adventurer is the Examiner, and I just wanted to put some foil on the rank-up system."
Mr. Relisha has said that with a bitter smile. Hmm, I guess I did something wrong. Ah.
"Then other than me, the Gold Rank Adventurer will pull it on the Examiner."
"Huh?"
Mr. Lerisha's voice, which had fallen between them, was overflowing in the poking and reception room.
