Let's Manage The Tower

(2) Journeys are guided

Gazelan, who learned about Lik's rank-up exam, quickly started moving.

This test was a change from E to D rank, but it was changed to C rank using Gazelan's authority.

Of course, Gazelan has hardly ever made such a drastic change, but none of his opponents were.

Sometimes Gazelan's power was strong, but more than that, the party to which Lik belonged had too much power to take the C-Rank test.

Originally, there was a debate within the adventurer division about whether to take the flying class exam.

After all, it was decided to drop off, but Gazelan's request (?), and fortunately, I just changed to the C-rank test.

Incidentally, everyone at Lik's party is a schoolboy, but taking the C-Rank exam at such a young age would be an outstanding candidate.

Within the Adventurers Division, it is another story that has boiled the appearance of large newcomers for a long time.

About three days have passed since Rik brought in the report of the rank-up exam.

Unlike the previous day, Lik said that he was complaining to the examiner by holding his head.

"... can you do something to stop it, Father?"

Yeah, I can't.

Lick looks grudgingly at the examiner who said so clearly.

"It's the same with the jumping intervention, but it's strange to think that the head of department will follow the C-rank exam!?

"Mm-hmm. Well, Gazelan is the judge around here. Can't I just say it?

"Well, at least stop going with me!

"I can't do that either. I was so nervous that I could finally fulfill my promise. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I'll be next."

In response to the same request for facial expressions, Kaiseki replied only slightly.

I just added that I was worried.

"And I think it's better to stop that tone because it's counterproductive for people who get caught up. Well, we're used to it, so we don't say anything."

Liku, who has even advanced to the goal of adventurers, likewise spends his school life surrounded by three and four men of nobility and merchants who are aiming for adventurers.

For that reason, the tone of Lik's conversation with his usual friends is rough from the polite rhetoric used by the nobles.

Nevertheless, since they are raised as royalty, they can also use polite tones in case of need.

In front of families such as Kaiseki and Floria, they sometimes have a polite tone without knowing which tone to use.

Lik, who was so nailed by the examiner, looked bad.

Lik is not speaking in a polite tone, either.

It is a habit since childhood, and this tone is usually used in front of parents and at royal parties.

"I'm not aware of anything else... but..."

I went out of my way to tell Lik that the examiner smiled a little.

"No, sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you. Nothing, you can talk to me normally as usual. However, some people can't accept it, so I'm going to be careful."

"Yeah, I know."

On the advice of the examiner, Lik nodded with a mysterious face and made a happy expression.

"No, don't be ridiculous! What about the exam?

Yeah, let's give up now.

That's how Kaiseki tapped Pong and Lik's shoulders, and the person dropped Gakki's shoulders.

That's how they took the C-Rank exam. With a guardian.

Depending on the test content, it may be normal to have a senior adventurer as an examiner.

But what kind of joke is it that the examiner is the head of the adventurers department?

And Lik didn't tell his friends, but it was definitely his father who was caressing the wolf at ease.

You shouldn't worry about it now.

Leaving aside the anguish of such a request, the party ran the exam smoothly.

The test that Lick and his team were taking was to gather materials for several types of monsters within a time frame.

Though the examiners were distracted by too much luxury, the Liks were gathering materials well.

We've already collected more than two-thirds of the materials, and we only need to collect three more.

However, the remaining three types can be said to be large mountain areas.

These three species have to hunt monsters coming out of a different hierarchy, so it's possible to meet monsters on the way.

In addition, the last one is that we have to hunt the monsters that are higher in the intermediate class.

Around that area, it could be called a C-rank test for boulders.

Even the Likuds who had room up until now couldn't afford to take a sneak peek when they got there.

While watching the Recruits moving to the next hunting ground, the examiners were also moving.

The parties of the examiners were six and one, three of whom were Kaosuke, Kouhi, and Gazelan, while the remaining three were former associates who had partied with Gazelan.

One of them said as he watched the movements of the Liks.

"Ho-ho, things seem to be going well in there."

I see. Well, at least I'm sure they're not the ones who can suck on the E Rank. "

The first speaker was Zoya, who was in charge of magic at the party, followed by Lucky, who was in charge of guerrilla reconnaissance.

The other one is Malato, but he has a basically silent character so he barely talks.

When Gazelan first introduced me, it was suddenly a topic of discussion.

Anyway, their gaze is on Lick's party.

As far as the examiners are concerned, the current hierarchy does not matter, but I am accompanying them as examiners, so I need to take a good look at them.

We have told Rikki to collect the material as part of the test, but in the meantime, it is also subject to evaluation.

Hmm, I knew it was like this.

After listening to the two of them, Kaiseki replied so.

Gazelan laughed when he heard the opinion of the examiner.

"You've been flying a lot since the beginning. It's not helpful in the first place."

"Well, I know that."

In Gazelan's words, Kaiseki answers with a bitter smile.

Zoya asked if they were interested in the conversation.

"Well, I've heard that Kouske attacked this tower at an incredible speed, but how did he do it?

"Wow, I'm surprised. What a journey on a dragon!"

The three men who heard Gazelan's answer looked stunned.

"By the way, I wasn't a real god back then. When I first heard this, I thought it was some kind of joke."

That's right.

"Somehow, should I be convinced in a way?"

While listening to the conversation between the three Gazelans, Kaiseki turned away.

Incidentally, the three Zodiacs are already asking what kind of person they are.

I refuse to talk in a normal way without stopping the exam.

That's why they talk to me casually, but it's not normal.

This area is probably considered to be the best party of our time.

Whether or not they knew what was going on, the Likuds continued to walk smoothly to the hunting grounds.
