When I entered the building, there were a lot of people who looked like students.
It was a large hall with lots of queues. There is a counter at the top of the column and some sort of procedure is being carried out.
The atmosphere is like that at hotels and airports.
"You're such a wonderful person...."
"Uh-huh. I'm kind of nervous...."
As the old man said, adventurers are a popular profession. If there are so many people who are aiming for it, it's not a dangerous job.
Now, let's line up.
We lined up at the end of the line.
The process seems to be proceeding quickly, and the line is proceeding at a much faster pace.
"Ah, I have to decide the name of the party. Do you guys have any hope? I don't care if it's a strange name."
Is it like the name of the team?
Um, can I do anything?
Charlotte doesn't seem particularly hopeful either.
"Yes. Then let Lute decide."
"I don't care if you say so. Anything?
"Yeah."
Nothing in particular. I wonder what to do.
"Well then, Charlotte and the Happy Friends."
"Uh-huh! No, no, it's embarrassing!
Charlotte made bamboo balls by hand.
Absolutely not.
"What are you talking about?
"So, 'was it you who summoned me?"
"Huh? What is that?
"These things are popular these days. The name of the band that seemed like a line to me was a bit strange... but it wasn't, the party name."
"No, it's weird."
"'Fire, it's painful'!
"What happened...."
"'Monkey, that's scary'!
"So what happened... denied!
Shit, no. Hmm, then.
"Well then," Dark of the Pain, "he wrote," The Dragon's Fang Wrapped in Darkness. "How about it!"
This is cool, right?
... Iris looks me in the eye.
"... yes..."
Nah!
"What! I'll leave you alone! Whatever you want! I mean, you're not a loser, are you? What, Charlotte? Isn't it cool?
"Huh?... uhh, yeah. Ahah, ahaha"
They laughed at me... What's wrong with my taste?
"I mean, stop using the word dragon."
"What? Why?
"Whatever... I mean, there are people who think about things they don't like. That's not good. You can't do this.
…………
Hmm. Maybe there was some bad news about the dragon. Charlotte accepted me normally.
"Hey, what are you gonna do? It's time to go."
I don't care anymore...
When the tension dropped, I punched Jimmy Hendricks' Purple Hayes.
"- Well then, in" Magic Hayes. "
I gave it a proper name. Means magic smoke. Keep it that way.
"Magic Hayes. I understand."
They finally convinced me.
When the party name was decided, it was our turn.
The receptionist gave me the paper. It seems to write a lot on this.
It says a lot. Which one?
When I apply for this exam, I acknowledge that all responsibility rests with the examinee, and I will not claim damages from any party involved in this exam, such as the Swainheim Kingdom Adventurers Federation, partner companies, employees, sponsors, etc.
I understand and accept responsibility for death, injury and any other damage that may occur.
Read all of the above and understand risk warnings, hazards and disclaimers, and all claims.
……………………………………………
Ah, it's too suspicious...!
But because it's so many people, there's no such thing as being deceived. Iris is already filling it out.
Skydiving, bungee jumping, anything like that?
Well, come on. Let's write about it for now.
... nn.
... ah, that?
Or can't you write? I don't know how to write my name.
Why? That's funny. I can read it....
Iris writes Sarasa.
"Magic Hayes,"
Looks like he wrote the name of the party. Yeah, I can read what's written. It seems fine if I write it down...
I thought Charlotte would write it down... but Charlotte is struggling too. Speaking of which, she wasn't good at writing.
"What's wrong?
"Iris, can you write something for me?"
"... you can't write letters?
I said it was because there was nothing I could do to make it look good.
Can't you do that? I was surprised Iris brought my paper to me without saying anything.
"Okay. His name is Lute, his profession is Bandit."
I will write Sarasara. Hmm. I knew I could read what was written. I wonder if that's the case.
"How old are you?
"Fifteen"
"Hmm, you're with me. Um, what's the next level?
Levels? Levels?
□□□□□□□□□
Name: Lute
Race: Dragon Race/Black Magic Dragon
Level: 1
□□□□□□□□□
"One."
"... what about...?
Iris is hardened.
What's wrong with you?
That's funny. The old man said anyone can take the exam. I'm fine even if I haven't experienced it....
"Hey, Charlotte."
Hmm?
"What's your level?
"Levels are the ones that come to mind, right?
…………
The receptionist pointed his suspicious eyes at Iris.
Um, not yet?
Ah, su, I'm sorry.
When Iris wrote "1" on my paper, the receptionist quickly retrieved the paper.
"Ah...."
And Iris. Something was hesitating.
"... what is it?
"No...."
The receptionist continued to collect Charlotte's paper.
And he gave us another piece of paper.
The number is written. Probably the test number. There are many other things written on it. Reading this makes it possible to understand the contents of the examination.
Let's go, Lute, Charlotte.
She said so in a mood and took us to the end of the hall.
…………
……
"What do you mean?
"What about it?"
"Level one, what do you mean!
She is looking at us with her hands on her hips and her harsh eyes.
"What is it? You can't?
Iris dropped his shoulders cheerfully.
"Lute, do you know what the Adventurer Exam is about?
... I don't know. I didn't have time to look into it.
"Where's Charlotte?
"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know."
Iris sighed hugely.
"... you know, I'm going to the dungeon. That's why we have to defeat the Dungeon Boss."
... eh?
... you're going to that hellish dungeon? Besides, Dungeon Boss... Is that the Camakiri guy?
"Ugh, you're lying. Seriously."
You think we have to fight that one again? I was attacked in the dark and cut off once.
Well, I've evolved twice since then, so I won't die next time...
What is it, old man? It's dangerous...
Let's not do this, adventurer.
"... level one means you're inexperienced, right? You know, you could be dead.
"Oh, no. I'm sure it's 1 now, but there are times when it's up to 15..."
"What are you talking about? It's not like that."
Oh, really?
... the level returns to 1 as it evolves.
Well, maybe humans don't have evolution.
"Ahahaha!
I heard a loud laugh.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't eavesdrop, but you heard me, Iris. You got a new buddy?
Three men came. She's a little older than us. Around eighteen? I think I know Iris.
"... shut up. Go away."
"Hmm, I suppose I even sold that armored man my favorite charm... but you're an amateur, right?
Iris stares at the man with wrinkles between his eyebrows. He seems angry. Is something wrong?
"Two Level 3 and Level 1. Ku, ku, that's impossible. Are you trying to kill yourself?
The other two also had a smiling and unpleasant laugh. It soon became clear that these were not favourable attitudes.
"Hey, you. Would you like to come to our party? Just in time, there was a vacancy. You're more than welcome to Level 1. We'll protect you....."
The man turned his lewd eyes towards Charlotte.
"Yes, that's fine. I want to stay with Lute. I'm sorry."
Charlotte hid behind my back. The man slapped his tongue without hiding it.
"So, Iris. What about you? I don't think the aftertaste is good. I've got a job I think you can do at Level 3."
"I said go away. I'm going to get angry."
Immediately after Iris said so, the man stopped at Iris with a quick move and took away the test form she had. Considering my world as a standard, it's a long way from ordinary people.
"Hey, give it back!
"Think again, Iris. You will never pass the exam with two beginners in Level 3. Absolutely not."
"...... cum!
"You want to pass, right? I wonder if a man of no talent like you can only be an adventurer if he's not strong enough. Come on, get back with us, Iris. I'll get you to work. Come on."
What is it, this guy?
I'm getting angry.
"... shut up"
"Hmm, think about it at best."
After pointing his malicious, disgusting eyes at Iris, he choked and threw away the paper he had.
Turning around, the men walked away.
"What kind of people do you hate... what kind of people are they?"
That's what I told Iris, but she was staring at the floor silently.
I thought,
"Ki! What... what, what!
The cute face distorted angrily and gradually began to step on the floor.
"... a, Iris?
"I'm working hard too! I'm getting stronger too!
After a while she turned to us.
"... hey, you guys?
I have a smile on my face. It's so powerful.
"Yes, yes."
And me and Charlotte.
"I'm gonna pass."
And here we are again.
"...... yes"
and replied. I did.
What should I do?
Her mood is full. It's not very nice, but it's not an atmosphere where you can say "I'll quit now."
"Let's go to the tactical meeting! Where are you guys staying?
Iris picked up the round paper and said so.
"Yeah, it's not a hotel."
That's what Charlotte said.
"Hmm, ah, you have a house! I can't go back to the hotel I used to use, so if I'm close, can I go?
"I don't have a home, either.
…… Then why not? "
"I was sleeping in the wilderness! Fufu, this is fun. I'll sleep with Iris next time."
"Ha, ha? No, why? Ah, maybe as part of the adventurer training?
"Because I don't have any money...."
"What happened to your luggage? That's not the only stuff, is it?
"Uh-huh. That's all....."
Iris was told that while holding his forehead by his hand, he was drooping.
"What are you guys..."
