Legend

"Ray, you're back just in time.... they pissed you off?

I guess the adventurer also understood why Ray was going to a place called the Guildmaster's office or something.

He asks in a way that makes fun of him just a little bit.

"You're angry, or you feel light-hearted.... Well, even for me, I think it's been a lot of detours."

"Heh."

I think it's because I admitted it honestly.

Adventurers are impressed...... no, turn your surprise expression to Ray.

I had some thoughts about such an opponent's gaze, Ray, but now I have something to do before it, so I ignore my gaze and open my mouth.

"So, what happened to my bet?

"Oh, you did. Come with me for a little while. They say their superiors decide for themselves whether or not they can bet."

"Do we need to get that far?

As for Ray, I expected him to be admitted lightly.

Anyway, it's not that I'm going to fail the promotion exam that I bet on, it's that I'm going to pass.

Nonetheless, I honestly don't think it's okay to meet in person and decide whether or not to bet.

Still, I decide if I can see him anyway, and leave the guild as the adventurer guides me.

Naturally, Seto approaches if he sees Ray leave the guild.

The adventurer who came out of the guild with Ray also naturally knew about Seto.

So I wasn't surprised that Seto was approaching, but the ones I've been playing with Seto are pointing it at, unfortunately, resentfully, can we have a little more time? Was it unexpected to be able to turn a gaze, such as that, or the movement stops when the gaze is turned.

"What's up?

Ray asks such an adventurer if he feels any pressure in his gaze.

(If you get used to it, do you stop feeling the pressure of this gaze? No, that's so... what do you think?

Even if I feel such a doubt, I decide for the time being that I should leave this place quickly.

"This way."

Adventurer guided Ray to a store not so far from the guild.

At a store selling various groceries, it doesn't seem like the former tightening of the bet is doing it.

Nevertheless, it is not a topic such as what the organization behind will do when it comes to this bet.

I guess it's no surprise that such a regular store owner is doing a former tightening of the bet than it is only a commonly made bet.

(Ningro, can you feel safer than the people in the organization behind you are doing)

That's how he thinks, while Ray walks into the store telling him to wait a little while he strokes Seto.

Then, it was a man on the strong side who was inside a store like that.

(Right)

For some reason, I'm very convinced, Ray.

But I guess that's natural if you think about it.

Anyway, a lot of money moves when it comes to betting, naturally.

It's no surprise that some of them don't admit to losing and get violent.

When dealing with such an opponent, even if the average person in the area talks, that's what the opponent just makes a scene on the diagram.

But if it was someone strong enough to deal with such a person... many would hesitate to do something like rampage.

Of course, even if such a person is the opponent, he who rambles will be rampaged.

Still being able to deal with the elephant was definitely a thankful story even for those running the bet.

"Hello, Ray"

"Oh, wow."

But Ray is also surprised that such a strong side has greeted Ray with polite words and bowed his head.

The gap between appearance and behavior is very different.

"Jean, I left the rest to you. I'll be at the guild looking for some more betting attendees."

An adventurer who has guided Ray so far leaves the store when he tells that to a strong man called Jean.

Jean has no objection whatsoever to the behavior of such a man, nor does he seem to say anything.

And just when Ray and I are alone, Jean opens her mouth.

"So we were talking about Mr. Ray wanting to join the bet, is that true?

Polite language that is not commensurate with its appearance is of a different kind of force.

Nevertheless, Ray has also had various experiences.

Surprised by such a verbal man, he nods back to me immediately.

"Oh, yeah. I want to take part in a bet on whether or not I pass the promotion exam. However, I would wager that I will pass the promotion exam so that I don't feel unfair."

"... I see. You were right to hear the story. If you give me the results, I don't mind Mr. Ray betting on himself on that condition."

Ray turns his gaze to Jean's face when he is told he can bet lightly unexpectedly.

He was Jean, who was gazed at by Ray, but so he continued his words without looking particularly surprised.

"However, if Mr. Ray bets, we will let him decide on the maximum amount. That, too, would be a pretty low amount. Do you mind if I do?

"I wanted you to be free to bet if you could, but if the torso says so, can't you? How long, by the way?

"What about five gold coins?

"Isn't that too cheap for anything? At least five white gold coins."

Around saying it's cheap with five coins, it would be evidence that Ray's sense of money is paralyzed.

Nevertheless, it is not uncommon to earn about a few gold coins if you try to ray them and hunt bandits.

Depending on the treasure the bandits had, it wasn't strange to get a few white gold coins.

He also usually buys tons of food from stalls and cafeterias, which is probably why he's paralyzing his sense of money.

"I know what Mr. Ray is capable of. You must also be willing to pass the promotion exam. But... if Ray passes, he doesn't have the money to pay for it. We're not that big of an organization."

Jean's words are true.

The bet Jean is making is only there for the amount of money… it's the kind of bet he's making in his hobby.

Still, I can afford that much more than being the torso of a bet, but if it turned out to be like being won big by Ray, it was a delicate matter of whether I could pay for it.

If no other bets had been made, I would still have been able to afford it...... somehow, Ray's promotion exam really needed to go hand in hand with the other bets than it was a sudden decision.

There are also numerous items in the place where you bet on whether or not you pass the promotion exam, not just whether or not you pass the promotion exam, but also how many other rank A monsters you defeat besides the condition that you defeat two even if you pass.

Not to mention that Ray is more than known to have aliases, and there are quite a few who bet on passing.

The lucky thing for Jean would be that the place where the exams are conducted is the Devil's Forest.

The Demon Forest is a place where there are many high-ranking monsters and it is forbidden to even approach the detour.

That's why some people think it's hard to pass even with some rays.

Given all that, the bet was scattered as convenient for Jean in the torso...

Later, Ray, who spoke with Jean, was slightly reluctant, but decided to bet five gold coins on his passing.

It's not just passing either, it's passing by defeating three or more Rank A monsters.

Originally, you don't need to defeat three more than Ray's acceptance criteria are that you should defeat two Rank A monsters and have a body.

That meant that Ray met enough criteria for the promotion exam... no, more than enough.

Of course, as for Ray, he's not going to defeat a Rank A monster with three instead of five or ten.

Warcraft just for Ray and Seto.

It is a special kind of magic that allows you to acquire new skills and strengthen existing skills through Demon Stone, but the Demon Stone used in that Demon Beast technique can acquire and enhance skills to the extent of the Demon Stone of a high ranking monster.

Low-ranking monster Demon Stones often fail to gain or enhance skills.

It means so much to Ray and Seto that he can fight high-ranking monsters in the Devil's Forest.

Nevertheless, the opponent is a high rank monster...... that's the same rank a monster as a regular griffon.

Even Ray and Seto aren't so easy to beat.

(Well, Seto is treated like a rare species that's mastering skills, so it's treated like rank s equivalent, and in that sense, even regular griffons are treated as being understated)

After finishing his conversation with Jean and passing the promotion exam...... it also bet five gold coins on passing by defeating three or more Rank A monsters, Ray walks around the city with Seto.

"Gru?"

I guess you decided Ray was in a pretty good mood.

What happened to Seto? and rattles his throat toward Ray.

With such a stroke of Ceto, Ray opens his mouth with a grin.

"This promotion exam... I thought you were getting a lot more fun. And by doing this, I feel like my promotion exam is finally coming up."

Ray has quite an expectation for this exam.

That also means that I will be a Rank A Adventurer, but it will be greater than that that that I can still take promotion exams in the Devil's Forest.

You can stay in the Devil's Forest for two nights. Two nights and three days to be exact, but how many monsters can you hunt in the meantime?

Many monsters in the Devil's Forest will not escape when they perceive the presence of Ray or Seto.

(No, it's the Devil's Forest, and can I assume a low-ranking monster like Goblin isn't a bad idea?

If you think so, and given the food chain, the presence of low-ranking monsters like goblins is definitely also essential.

Nothing strange about having the same low-ranking monsters in the Devil's Forest, even if it's not a goblin.

I think so, I was Ray trying to remember when I got out of the Devil's Forest, but I don't think he looked like a low-ranking monster like that in particular.

(There were water bears and jarms.... Oh, no, could Jalm be a substitute for goblins?

A jalm is a monster of a rank F that is about fifteen centimeters long, musty, with sharp, hardened tails and blades.

If you saw it purely as an individual's rank, it's the same as a goblin... Jalm is also the only monster in the Devil's Forest, naturally not a glimmer.

As an individual, I am rank F, but basically I make a colony in hundreds.

That's what attacking in hundreds means a hundred blades attacking... it's like flying and attacking the sky too.

Even if it's the same rank f monster, it's not like goblins.

(No, well, for once, goblins make herds, too, so I'm pretty sure they attack me in groups. However, if it's goblins and jarms, even the same group has totally different aggressiveness or something)

Goblins, it is only in the beginning that momentum strikes, but if they are disadvantaged, they begin to withdraw immediately.

Compared to that, Jalm has the discipline of an army attacking him in an undisturbed manner.

I know it's a habit gained to survive in a place called the Demon Forest, but if you imitate it as an insult because it's a low-ranking monster, that's what even adventurers with the right strength can die of lightly.

"Anyway, I'm glad you have monsters to fight in the Devil's Forest. That's what Seto thinks, right?

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, you're right! and a throat-beating ceto.

Ray's Death Size isn't the only thing enhanced by Warcraft.

No, if you think about it in terms of Ningro Warcraft, Seto's presence is the star of it.

The Death Size was originally created as a result of Ray's enormous magic power, which left Ray's magic even after he created Ceto in the Warcraft Magic Formation.

"What kind of monster does Seto want to encounter? Is that a dragon after all?

"Grr?...... Grr......"

To Ray's words, Seto shows how lost he is.

For Seto, the closest thing to him when it comes to dragons is his friend Yellow.

If you ask me if I want to fight the same dragon as such a yellow, I guess it's a complicated thought.

Most importantly, Wyburn, a lower race, is usually defeated rather than a fellow dragon...

Seeing how Seto was doing, Ray somehow figured out how he felt, stroking his gentle Seto back to the marina's house.
