Manowa

Episode XVI: Raise Your Rank

◎ Quang Meadow

"YAHHHHHH!!!

Poke! Poke! Poke! Poke!

And to the continuous spear attack of the bowflower, the two horndrabbits are defeated without even being able to turn to attack and exchange.

"Hmm."

The wind noise was my equity. I was watching it by the wreckage of the former demon.

(It's starting to look a lot like this.)

The wind can tell that the spear of a bowflower is stretching horribly even in just one day. No one would have imagined coming to this world for two weeks, becoming an adventurer and being a spear-enabled person to this point in a week.

(I wonder if that means Bowflower itself is changing in strength as per the game specifications)

"Hey, what are you staring at?"

The bow flower that knocked down the two horn drabbits wipes the blood paste at the end of the spear, looking back at himself from the sound of the wind from earlier.

"No, I thought bowflowers were amazing."

"I don't want you to tell me."

That's what Bowflower says. He looks around the wind sound.

There are three horndrabbits that the wind knocked down. One seemed to explode and the material could not be recovered, one had a large part of his body missing and the other had collapsed almost intact.

"No matter how flashy the magic you use when it's a game, you've dropped the material."

"So it's different from reality and games."

Bowflower smiles bitterly and answers that.

"Hey. I guess needles are the best way to think about material removal. Because we haven't caught up with our hitting rate. We need to drop the convergence rate a bit and adjust it to go through normal damage, though."

Yes, when the wind sounded in my mouth, I opened the window and just started customizing it.

"Wind sounds, so what do we do now?

"Um, you're right. I also want to get used to witchcraft, so I'd like to go around about four more cases today, okay?

Bowflowers nod at the wind noise question. The body also wants to move with the rest of the day before.

"So we're going on the Quang Meadow? Or Greygolem?"

"The golem is on the pass. I'm going home now. I won't be able to camp at night because it's tomorrow and I'm not ready. And I guess it's time to be scared of bowflower spears."

That's what they say. Bowflowers also look sinister.

"I knew it."

Even if his skill in martial arts is so high that he doesn't think he was an amateur until a week ago, he's still a doorman until he takes care of his weapon. Though I thought it was time for the blacksmith to take a look... bowflowers can't be better in me.

"I guess I should send it out for repair once. It's time for me to see this sword."

◎ City of Conrad

"Raise it, Rank."

Those words suddenly flew out of the plan as I was finishing the hunt and getting the material redeemed at the office reception.

"Rank?"

The wind sounds back.

"Yes, it's rank. It's only been a week since you guys got here, and I don't know what this is about for newbies, but you've earned it."

"Right."

Cumulatively 5,000 kiligias are making money from joint quests with their parents. He is the earner of Dantotsu within the city's guild of being a newcomer. Wind sounds also make a lot of money in the presence of corestones.

I guess that's sometimes the power of the guild members here is generally low, but sometimes it means you can't get the material because you don't have that high chance of encountering demons. It can't be normal here to encounter a demon five times in half a day.

"It's a real advantage to be nosy without a beast on your way home. Knowing where it is means taking precedence, doesn't it?

The plan sees the wind noise nose and impresses me.

Well, and the wind noise also keeps his usual faceless mouth, but it is naturally a lie that he has the same good nose as an animal man on his way home from his ancestors. Although convenient to deceive the high rate of encounting, the truth is that the 'sense of smell of the beast man' falls more than the 'sense of smell of the dog', thus sharpening the senses. If you are not a high level beast man, you do not have the same ability as the wind sounds.

"The core stones I bought from you are selling high, and they are warm and hail as we are. I'm just a little out of shape."

"Bad?"

The bowflower listens back.

"Blah, blah, blah. I have a regular status report for the Alliance next week. So, naturally, I'm going to report you."

"Uh, that might raise some strange suspicions."

The wind sounds agree.

"What do you mean?

"I mean, there might be some kind of injustice. I can't believe I ran into a demon five times in half a day."

"You should walk around here in Amma and run into her three times a day. I can't believe that's the right amount of demons we can hunt for ourselves."

The plan corrects the words of wind noise. Plus, there can't be a preemption of everything you encounter. Normally two of the three times would be encountered after being attacked by demons.

"Then the premise that we're both hunting is suspicious."

They're pointing out the possibility that we're hunting in a group.

"What's the problem with that?

"Well, since we're rank F, they might think we're hiring people to make more money to name rank achievements."

That's what the wind sounded like to answer the bowflower question.

"I can think of some other theory that you might be threatening another party or attacking and stealing material."

"Terrible. You think we'd do that?

"I think. You look like you're a little bit of a belly-up."

The sound of the wind in the words of the plan, but the bow and flower say it back with an unequivocal face.

"Well, we're not supposed to be cheating."

"Well."

The wind sounds naturally. And forgive the bowflower while saying the plan is acceptable.

"Me too. This guy doesn't think you're going to imitate that anyway. They're the only ones who haven't seen it before."

"That's true, though."

The only way to do that is to agree with Bowflower as well. It's not something that people would know without actually looking at it.

"Actually, I do. There are examples of Bon Bon halfway up to adventurers to quickly improve their ranks."

Rank E and Rank F are convenience stores in the basic town. That's not an adventurer in the original sense. As far as making the most money, it can be up there with a Rank D adventurer.

"So, let's raise the rank. Mr. Plan, my parents have told me that I should try applying for D-rank in a week or so. Are you getting a recommendation?

"I'm getting it, but I think you guys should get a C-rank application. With recommendation and track record, D can be taken as soon as you apply."

"Are you sure?

That was also unexpected wind noise. Sure, the wind sounds have a high track record, but that's because I thought it wasn't that far yet if you think about it cumulatively over the past week.

"Core stone prototype, rare material, so it's a high point."

But I am convinced that the words of the plan will also make the wind noise. I don't know the criteria here, but Wind Sound remembers that the guild points for rare materials in the game were different from the normal ones.

"So. The D-rank can only be ranked up by the track record of defeating demons, but the C-rank rating goes with strength there. We need to let the guild's examiners judge our strength."

"Does that mean we have an exam?

The plan nods to the wind noise question.

"The specific details will be to complete a mock battle with the Examiner and a C-rank quest with the Examiner. I'm supposed to go to the city of Winlard, but you're just here to qualify as an examiner. I'm trying to get him to do it."

"Just being here means you could have done other business, right? You don't have a lot of time?

"Right. He's leaving tomorrow. If you miss this, you'll need to go to Wenlard."

I roar hmm at the words of the plan, and the wind sounds look at the bow flowers.

"I'm fine."

When the bowflower snorts lightly.

Then take it.

and also decide to take the wind noise test. If the rank goes up, I've never crossed it.

"Aye. Well, I'll be ready, so we can meet up here tomorrow morning, okay?

Wind sounds and bowflowers nodded simultaneously at the words of the plan.
