Kate and Rifa's Golden Adventurer promotion exam.
I was informed in the city about a week ago that it would take place in the Alliance's training grounds.
Alliances are deeply connected to the life of cities.
If there is a new Golden Adventurer coming out of that Alliance, it will be quite a topic in the city.
In fact, there were many people gathered in the audience seat at the training ground on the day of the exam.
I wonder if they're both okay.
"Lila, aren't you worried too much?"
In the front row of the audience, Fran, a fellow who is teaming up with me, laughs bitterly.
Next to her is another teammate, Keel, sitting with his arms around him.
He changed his usual silence and glanced at the training ground, which was still empty, as he showed interest.
"I've heard a lot about them, but I didn't expect to get promoted so soon."
"I thought it would be because of qualities, but in less than six months... and I didn't think I'd be overtaken by silver..."
I didn't tell them that Rifa was a brave man.
I was silenced when I told the castle that Kite had been seized before, and above all, I couldn't reveal the secrets of my two friends.
"Ah...."
... I remember seeing the queen in the castle as a pajama.
I remember the queen who endured the smile with all her patience, suffering from unprecedented shame...
"Fu, you two want to go up?"
"No, I don't think so."
"I'm fine as it is.... I don't want to die."
I laughed bitterly at Keel and Fran who answered immediately.
Golden adventurers and silver adventurers, each named after an adventurer, seem to recognize almost anything else.
Golden adventurers who are not unusual in the dangers surrounding their requests and who require the ability to respond and the strength to resolve any situation are not prepared to do so.
"Lyla should have been a golden adventurer without worrying about us...."
Um, I'm still good.
"No...."
"I still want to be on the team and I'm happy with it as it is."
I just have a little bit of a desire to be a golden adventurer and ask for more difficult requests.
But that's all I want to do.
You don't have to go out of your way to do anything dangerous, and above all, you don't need to be promoted because you have enough money now.
Fran sighed loudly at my words and looked at me with his shoulders down.
"Hah... this time, it was two kids, Kate and Reefa, who took the exam, right?"
"Yeah. Didn't they meet Rifa?"
"I've seen it a few times, but I've never spoken to it."
Keel nodded quietly at Fran's words.
We also request expeditions quite often.
Kate didn't have a chance to interact surprisingly, because you were being seized and you were going to the Kingdom of Filgen.
"I was surprised when I was training with Rick, Snow and Serra, but it's really weird."
"Perhaps he is also involved in the recent alteration of Orochi's ruins."
Keel, who nodded to Fran, opened his mouth.
I heard you trained for the Golden Adventurer before.
Speaking of which, Kate, you're going to tell Sera--
Did I call you?
"Wow!?"
I was surprised enough to jump up while sitting next to a memorable voice.
When were you there? Immediately next to me was Sera, the same Tamer and golden adventurer as Kate.
With a monster like a mole in flames, she looked at us in surprise and smiled little by little.
"Fufu, to tell you the truth, do you know Kate and Rifa?"
"Yes, yes. I live in the same lodging as them, Lyla."
"Sounds familiar.... was he the one who turned down the promotion?"
That's right.
Are they still going to say it's a waste?
With a bit of posture, Sera smiled casually.
"There's nothing strange about it. It's more dangerous when you get promoted. Especially when it comes to money... you have to be so careful. I respect your choice."
"Ah, thank you."
Sella is treated as a freak in the guild for the first time, but she's beautiful when she looks like this.
I was surprised that she was here, but it's no strange to think about your relationship with Kite. [M]
"Did Sella come to support Kate and Rifa?"
"Fu, they're my apprentices. Especially for Kite, you're the same tamer. [M] There is no reason why I should not come to his sunny stage as a disciple and junior."
I know you're a junior as Tamer, but... that?
"Surely Sella-san only coached me for seven days...."
"It is also the role of the master to watch his disciples grow.... okay?"
"Ha, ha?"
Nodded with unspeakable force.
I can only be confused by Sera-san, who looks like she's been teaching for years.
"What do you think will happen to Serra on this exam?"
"Fufufu, I'm sure it'll be interesting."
While stroking the monster of the mole she held, Sera smiled joyfully.
"Rick and Snow aren't very good candidates for the exam. First of all, there will definitely be a difference in combat experience and their bad habits... but they will still be eaten."
Her words, which I was sure of, were silent.
Looks like you know what's coming.
"Especially Kate. I think you'll wake up a lot in this fight. I don't think I've ever fought like that before."
"That kind of battle? That 's--"
When I tried to answer back unexpectedly, the surroundings were rough.
In response, I looked towards the training ground and saw Kate and Rick coming out the back door of the Alliance.
"Kite, you're out. Rick is there, so why don't we start with him?"
Black hat on the head, water bottle on the waist.
With an impressive dark blue jacket, he moved to the center of the training ground and confronted Rick.
Disgusting silence resonates.
The Guild Leader, who is in a position to watch the exam, stands between them and exchanges a few words.
I can't hear you from the noise around me, but I think you're checking the rules.
"Is that the rumored tamer?"
It looks like a normal kid though.
"Where's the wizard? Even though you're Tamer, don't you have a wizard with you?
I can hear such voices from the audience.
Well, I can already see his wizard, but if you don't know him, you don't even know where he is.
Even Yuran, who has recently become a magician, is difficult to understand with a small snake.
Kaito! I'm here to support you!
Kate, good luck!
Boy, don't lose!
On the other hand, some people have been involved as clients until now, knowing his existence.
I wonder how many people know him who has been involved with a lot of people in the city in this short period of time, or who has taken the initiative of making requests within the guild that no one normally tries to do.
I knew him without a chance to go anywhere, and I was honestly glad that he was accepted by the people of this city.
Waving in the light of those people, he turned to Rick after a small, deep breath.
Looks like it's starting.
That's right.
The Guild Leader leaves the field and only two will be sent to the Training Ground.
Silence between the two dominates the field.
Even us in the audience will be swallowed by that silence.
When he was too nervous to even breathe, Rick's body unexpectedly blurred - the next moment, he shook his sword down at Kite's.
A blow that doesn't even show the appearance of pulling out.
However, Kite-kun, with his golden light all over his body, is defending it with a lime deformed sword.
"Fast...!? You react well..."
Fran's voice of surprise.
Without returning my voice, I follow with my eyes the movements of Kate and Rick. [M]
Kite-kun, who instantly changed his lime to a double sword, took the sword from Rick and responded while playing and flushing it.
Launch! Hakuro!
When two swords are raised from below with his voice, a gust of wind blows into the training grounds.
They're not on the ground anymore.
The audience lost sight of them and leaked confused voices, but Sella and I looked up.
"Up...!"
Rick, who was launched into the air by the wind earlier, and Kate, who jumped after him.
Rick scaffolds a sword made of magic around him, swinging the flaming spear around with a fierce sword.
Schiff!!
Oh!
Semi-transparent wolf--- temporarily raised by Hakuro's power, he shocked the arrow pulled out of his hips, watched the lime deformed bow, and aimed at Rick under his eyes.
Haha! Are you coming!!
Rick, who saw it, also produced three swords in his hand and threw them in front of him - hitting him with his own sword and flying to the task.
The sword flying at high speed runs straight towards Kite and collides with the arrow wrapped in the thunder he fires.
Lightning flashes and purple magic fly in the sky.
……
Everyone on the spot in a battle beyond common sense shut his mouth.
Only Sera-san next door looked so excited, but I... no, I was just as excited as Sera-san.
The light stops and Kate and Rick land from the sky.
Are we done with the prep? Or are you serious now?
I'm kidding. It's time to go live.
Once they had stopped moving, and now they were facing each other, they stood up with their weapons, smiling as if they were exalted from each other.
