Legend

On his way to the Alliance, Ray was attracted to quite a few opponents.

As usual, it is Cetto, not Ray, who is attracting attention, but Ray is attracting more attention than Cetto this time.

Naturally, the reason is the promotion exam.

It appears that more people were taking part in the bet than Ray had expected.

(When I took part in the betting, I think he said that he wouldn't do the betting that much or that he couldn't do it. But why are so many people watching?

Ray had such a doubt, but now that the promotion exam is over, I decided not to worry about it.

Fortunately for Ray, there was no such thing as people holding each other back and calling Ray.

Well then, Seto. It might take a while today, so please wait. "

"Gru"

In Ray's words, Seth rang her throat that she understood.

Normally, if Ray was gone, everyone would play.

After returning to Gilm for the first time in a few days, Seth would have liked to play with others.

In addition to playing, there are also things like having a skewer grill, so I'm also happy for Seto.

Leaving such a set in front of the guild, Ray enters the guild.

As always, there are enough people in the Alliance to think it's daytime.

Even in the cafeteria, there were quite a few people eating and drinking alcohol today.

Ray, who has joined the Alliance, is watching… Of course, there are many players in the Alliance who participate in the bet, and Ray is remarkable.

"Hey, that's... Ray, right? That's a lie, isn't it?"

"Go to the Forest of Magic and be intact? It's not normally possible, but I'm afraid Ray would convince me."

In fact, I was quite injured in battle with the Crystal Dragon.

However, the wound has already healed with potion.

Normally, he sees the equipment damaged and recognizes it as damaged, but in Ray's case he wears a very powerful magic item called a dragon robe.

... one of the dragon robe's abilities has a hidden effect, such as not recognizing the value of the dragon robe.

As a result, the dragon robe was perceived as a normal robe, and there were no particularly scratchy wounds on that ordinary robe, so Ray seemed to have returned from the Devil's Forest intact.

However, some people who have lived in Gilm for quite a long time and understand Ray's anomalies think that a dragon robe that at first glance only looks like a regular robe is actually a powerful magic item.

After all, Ray has powerful magic items like the Twilight Spear and Death Size.

That's why it's impossible to imagine that only armor is a normal robe.

"I don't know. Who is he? From what I've seen, it only looks like a kid. Why is he getting so much attention?

Even if you've been away from Gilmore for a few days, some of those who came to Gilmore during those days don't know about Ray.

Or maybe as soon as Seth was with us, hate and Seth are now lying in front of the guild and not here.

If you do, it's only natural that you don't know who Ray is and are confused by the current state of the Alliance.

"That's Ray. Has the synonym Deep Red.... I went to a place called the Magic Forest for a promotion exam to Rank A, but he came back."

"Deep red, you know!?

Someone who doesn't know the situation, even if he knows someone nearby or doesn't know them, is kind... no, someone who wants to teach.

Naturally, Ray's ears heard such an exchange, but he went to the counter listening to it.

At the counter, Lenora and Kenny looked at Ray with tears in their eyes.

Originally, I couldn't afford to imitate stopping working in my current guild.

However, only two of Ray's close receptionists are happy that Ray has returned safely from the Devil's Forest.

That's why I was happier that Ray came back than passing the promotion exam.

"Ray-san....."

"Ray-kun...."

When Ray arrives at the counter, Lenora and Kenny just say Ray's name and nothing more.

Ray opens his mouth with a smile on both of them.

"In this case, can I just...?

"Fufu, that's right. I think that's fine."

"I just want you to tell me that I'm right now in a different sense."

Lenora and Kenny smiled happily toward Ray, wiping the tears off the edge of their eyes and telling them so.

So, I'd like to meet a worker for now.

"Hold on a second. Contact me immediately....."

"You don't have to."

Lenora tried to get an Alliance Master worker, but she waited for him.

Ray quickly understood whose voice it was, and most importantly, the person who made it out.

"Alliance Master!?

Lenora's voice of surprise echoes around her.

Yes, it was the Alliance Master's workers who talked to Lenora and the others.

"Why are you here?

"There's been a report that Ray's back. I was about to get in touch with you.... well, Ray. I'm sorry I just got back, but I'd like to hear about this incident. Do you mind?

"I'd rather be quick."

As Ray says, the worker nods without changing his expression in particular and passes Ray to the office on the second floor of the guild.

"I want you to sit down.... you should drink your tea."

"Did you even prepare tea?

Sit on the sofa, drink tea as recommended by the worker, and shout in surprise.

There was not much time between Ray's entry into the Alliance and the workers' arrival.

However, since tea is prepared in this way, it is natural for Ray to wonder.

"Yes, he started getting in touch with me when Ray got into the Gilmore."

"Ah... over there?"

Convinced Ray puts a GPS-effective magic item he borrowed from a worker before taking the promotion exam from his pocket on the table.

"I'll keep this for now."

"Yeah... I'm surprised. At first, I expected to leave the Demon Forest as soon as I entered the third day, but I didn't expect to be in the Demon Forest until late on the third night."

Since one of the conditions for the promotion exam is to spend two nights and three days in the Demon Forest, the rule is that at the time of the third day... it is not a problem to exit the Demon Forest when the date changes to the extreme and enters the third day.

Of course, it means moving through the Devil's Forest in the middle of the night when the date has just changed, so in some cases it would be a little safer than encountering powerful monsters.

However, Ray continued his search for the Devil's Forest even on the third day, and that was when the date changed, as the workers said, so he finally escaped the Devil's Forest.

Just because you're an Alliance Master doesn't make you curious why Ray did that.

It's the Magic Forest in the corner. I wanted to destroy as many unknown monsters as I could, so I couldn't get in normally. To collect magic stones. "

Ray has publicly stated that his hobby is to collect magic stones in order to hide the matter of magic beasts.

It's a rather unusual hobby, but it doesn't mean no one has the same hobby.

... if you encounter someone who really has such a hobby, it would be a lot of trouble for Ray to show you the magic stones that he keeps in his misteling.

Regardless, Ray's explanation seemed to convince the worker to some extent, and he turned a dazed eye.

Are you gathering magic stones in the Forest of Magic?... if it wasn't for Ray, you wouldn't be able to do it. "

"Really? I think there are quite a few people who can do it if they want to."

In fact, there were many monsters in the Demon Forest that were strong enemies, but many that weren't so strong were Ray's impressions.

Adventurers in the Gilm… However, Ray seemed to think that many monsters could be defeated if they weren't the ones who could aim for additional construction, but if they had been active in the Gilm since before.

However, rank A monsters usually come out in the Magic Forest, and rank S monsters come out even if it's not that deep.

It would certainly be dangerous to have such high-ranking monsters in common.

In addition, rank A monsters like giant wolves are based only on wolves and have a sharp sense of smell.

There is no doubt that if such monsters are going to target us, it could be instant death.

"... well, that's fine. I've always known that Ray's perception is different from others'. So, there's nothing to waste your time here, so I'm going to ask you straight away. How'd it go?

"No problem. Definitely more than two Rank A monsters have been defeated. However, some of these two or more monsters are either Rank B monsters, Rank A monsters, or the corpses of monsters they don't know."

Rank A monsters defeated in the Magic Forest are Wolf, Queen Bee, Dark World Tree, Vampire, and Chimera.

In that context, the queen bee did not seem to be a Rank A monster in Ray's senses, and Chimera was honestly subtle.

"I'll show you the body and magic stones later, so it would be helpful if you could check with the guild."

Ray recognized him as a Rank A Monster with strength, but that was only Ray's recognition.

That said, it is not strange if the Alliance recognizes it outside of strength, or if Queen Bee or Chimera also recognizes it as a Rank A Monster.

Not to mention the danger that a queen bee can give birth to a large number of children.

"I see. Let's do that. In the meantime, if Ray has been recognized by many as a Rank A monster, he will be sure to pass the promotion exam. Even so... up to five..."

The expression on the worker's face is both praise and astonishment.

Usually it is a calm deposition, but that is not as much as Bune, but the worker who doesn't change his expression very much changes his expression so much.

It was not a party or anything, and it was the solo - there was a subordinate set - that defeated that many Rank A monsters, which was impossible to think of normally.

Alternatively, it might be possible if one of the rank A adventurers had a nickname specific to combat.

However, the worker still sees no damage to Ray.

I also heard in the report that Seto didn't seem to have been damaged.

... rather than the report, if Seth had been damaged and injured in the first place, there would have been a lot of noise from those who loved Seth in Gilm.

It was certain that Seto was not injured as well.

Alternatively, both Ray and Seto were injured, but perhaps they recovered after using the potion.

Workers knew about the Adventurer as an Alliance Master, of course, but they also knew about the effects of potions.

And many high-ranking adventurers… or those who can afford money buy expensive and effective potions.

Some of these potions are able to be attached with potions even if the arm is cut.

Of course, such a potion would be very expensive.

"Still, two nights and three days in the Magic Forest?... it's amazing that you did that again."

"No, you say that?

I'm not saying that the Alliance Master worker thought about all the contents of the promotion exam, but he was certainly involved in a significant part of it.

If so, how would the person who gave such an examination say so?

With that in mind, Ray drops the last bomb.

"Yes, all the Rank A monsters I defeated just now, but I also defeated one Rank S monster."

Such a flying bomb.
