Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter’s Hero Dream
2 Recruitment of members ②
It would normally open a liquor store, there was so much heat inside the building that it couldn't be compared to the outside.
A lingering alcoholic spirit. The table, which would always be placed, is cleared and left to right, and the spacious store is lined with prospective joiners.
The air is white with people's heat. Luda, who was guided together, opened his eyes to the sight.
Apparently, he totally forgot his troubles outside.
"Wow... this is all hunters?
The store is dotted with tables, each with several members in white uniform, seated. He is a member of the party belonging to the clan First Steps.
Even in a sip with the party to which 'Footprint' belongs, it exists there, from pin to kiri. Some parties have a number of prominent members, while others have names known only to their leaders. Some parties can bring in attackers, others can bring in technology.
Each person wishing to join the group should head to the party table where they want to enter and take the test. From interviews to practical exams, the content seems to vary from party to party, some of which emphasize inspiration.
Ask Ruda, who hasn't hidden the confusion.
"You've never seen anything like this before?
"... is Klee different?
"... for the fifth time, I guess."
"Five times... so many times - oh, sorry"
I don't know, but I've been apologizing for how sorry Ruda seems.
"No, nothing... maybe this isn't the first time many people are here today"
Hunters are meritocracy. The talented are quickly taken away, but it's not like the talented don't have a chance.
Some of you, like me, are looking out for your talent, but you're coming at a slight chance. The evil of giving up like that is one of my talents.
For now, it is confirmation. I took a distance from the rows lined up at each table and stopped by the corner near the entrance to look around.
There seems to be more parties to recruit members this time than usual.
Even when it comes to recruiting members for the footprint, not all of the parties that belong there recruit every time, but most of them do this time. Nature and the number of people wishing to join the group will also be high.
Is that why you were queuing up to the outside?
Ruda talks to me familiarly even though I just lined up a little nearby.
"Klee, why don't you tell me all about it, if you like? I'm not familiar with this kind of thing."
"... Fine. It's not a bad idea to sell a favor to a good hunter."
At least, she wouldn't be a vessel that ends at level three either. If you don't die, though.
Ruda loosens her face slightly to my words. [M]
"This is still a long time since I came to Empire City. I generally know famous hunters. I think this is a good opportunity."
First of all, when it comes to attending a party, it shouldn't be the right party.
There is a role that we recruit for each party, and there is an activity policy. Well, it's never a mistake to be Antai if you can get into an excellent party, but sometimes if you can join a good thing, you can't get used to it.
It would be very painful if there was too much difference between members and talent. I think Ruda is on a good line, but the Empire City is gathering hunters who are confident in their talents from all over.
The surface is human, but they are indisputably a completely different life form. And my friends - they did.
"I don't know what Ruda wants or can do. I have a dagger or something, maybe more than any other skill in combat."
Check Girosilo and his outfits and equipment. In addition to the dagger, there is a small leather bag lowered at the waist that does not interfere with movement. Probably has tools and stuff in it for picking.
When a solo hunter enters a party, the easiest place to enter is as a combat position.
Being a solo hunter means he's been cutting through the demons and 'phantoms' that strike him alone, because he tends to be highly capable of fighting.
On the other hand, accession as a role requiring special skills would be estranged without extra experience. Solos can't go from trap breaking to enemy, from unlocking to battle, so individual skills are often inferior to those who stuck it in a party.
But you know that in person, and you won't be resented for poking that fact at anything.
I kept pointing my finger in the back of the room at Ruda waiting for words with a serious look on her face.
"First of all, there are rules in this room as well. The party in the back has a high level."
Just as hunters have certification levels, so do clans and parties. There are also disparities between parties belonging to the same clan.
The biggest table that exists in the deepest part - fingering a table crowded with international hunters.
"That's the strongest party I'm recruiting for this time - The Son of the Holy Spirit (Arc Brave). Never heard of it? Elite among the elite who attacked the Level 7 Treasure Palace with only six, an average age of 21."
A monster that protruded among both monsters that spread to the Empire. All members are holders of abilities that only seem to have received God's favor, and their leaders are held up in alleys as brave men, etc.
Incidentally, Ruda's 'White Wolf's Nest' was about to be challenged is a Level 3 treasure house. One level of certification set in the Treasure Palace is nearly ten times different in difficulty, so that is the opening of heaven and earth with her today.
"If I let you into that party over there, success is what I was promised. You don't have to go in there... just a little compliment from the members over there, but there's probably going to be scouts coming from other parties."
I guess I've heard about that name, solo or inexperienced. Looks like I pulled a little of that ruda, too, and I ask it small.
"... by the way, let me ask you something... do you think it's possible?
"It's up to Luda. Well, to the best of my knowledge, 'Son of the Holy Spirit (Arc Brave)' has never taken a member in a place like this."
It is also the highest class big name in the Imperial capital. If you're young, it's definitely a party to get into one or two.
The members are already completely consolidated, and maybe the hunters who are swarming for recruits don't think they can get in there, etc. Those people that are swarming over there want to see that face at first sight, or connect the edges at all, that's why.
I sighed deeply without complaining as Ruda looked at the crowd of people.
At the time I heard it was a Level 7 treasure house, I guess I realized it was difficult for me.
Continue to introduce more and more about other parties. Most of them are names I would ask once if I had been a hunter in this empire for months.
Ruda just didn't know because she was a solo, and it was information that would come out easily if she tried to find out.
I count them pointing at each and every one of them. Normally, there was a rare appearance of a party that I didn't attend.
Apparently most of the footprints are participating in this recruitment.
Ruda says as she was told a long story and frightened.
"... Klee, you know more about this. I'm just tired of hearing it."
"This is as natural as it gets."
"... I don't know if I can ask, but where do you aspire?
"aspirations... nothing in particular... I can't... do anything, because"
I don't have a specialty. It's not all omnipotent and everything can't be done right. Less than instrumental poverty. That was me.
I don't have the courage or the enthusiasm to hunter. The slightest passion I had when I still believed in my talents, too, sometime disappeared.
Hunters have big returns but dangerous jobs. There is even a statistic that 70% of them will lose their lives in the treasure hall. I didn't have enough weight to swallow that risk.
Unlike my friends, I've made excuses for not being talented, etc., but that was probably the biggest problem there was. I think I'm gonna throw up.
"Yes.................. then, if you like, do you want to party with me too?
Ruda purposefully suggests to my powerless words with a bright voice.
Maybe you're serious. Your heart will shrink and your breath will become painful.
Ruda is a good hunter among all the bastards. I'm sure that word is not a joke or anything.
But it was an unbearable pain for me to pull my leg.
"I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't need sympathy. For the future, Ruda should go into a party that's right for her."
"... well, yes..."
Jarrah, touch the silver chain that is lowering to the belt. The cold feeling calms my heart just a little bit.
So, uh, Ruda told me to change the air.
Recruitment table for "Son of the Holy Spirit (Arc Brave)". I look at the large table placed behind it, where no one is about to sit, and point it exaggerated.
"Oh, that? Hey, with that said, that empty table over there, why haven't you cleaned it up?
"Come on, you guys, you really came without knowing anything"
The big man involved as he was lining up outside approached me with a nigga laugh.
Did you feel the heat? A reddish face. The heavily developed biceps brachii and the beaten wild flavored armor look even more ferocious when seen under the lights.
I'm in a much better mood than I was earlier to see if there were any results.
Ruda, watered, frowns at the roots and stares at the big man.
"... what can I do for you? You're gonna piss me off again."
"Don't say things that don't hold up. Senior hunter, this Greg, is trying to teach you some sense."
Dear Greg...... I have never heard of it. but all I know is a very small part - the only hunter that anyone who knows a bit about the industry knows is the one above.
There are as many hunters and strong guys as I don't know, and it's possible they were before they showed their heads in the first place.
"The table over there is the table of a party that founded this" Footprint "with" Son of the Holy Spirit (Arc Brave) ". Even so, I haven't been here since today."
"Founded...... party?
Continue so that Master Greg can dive his voice into the blinking Luda.
"Footprints have recruited members many times, but there are more people today than usual. In the meantime, the Holy Spirit has attacked the Level 7 Treasure Palace without a shortage of anyone, and he doesn't usually recruit. Black Gold and Holy Thunder are here. Plus... look, besides the party, there's those markings all over the place, right?
I see a hunter man who looks grumpy and grumpy on the wall by Master Greg.
The outfit is not the kind of uniform worn by hunters who are recruiting for parties, but if you look closely, buttons and accessories that mimic footprints in discreet areas, such as the collar and sleeves, are lowered.
There is a rule that members of a clan must put that symbol somewhere visible.
"Originally, it makes little sense for members who already belong to the footprint to come here without even for recruitment purposes. That's all there is to it."
I pinched my mouth in a way that included it.
Master Greg seems to be doing a lot of research, but I only know a little bit more.
"... they're solo hunters in their tracks."
"!? Affiliation in solo...... is that happening?
"One party is at least one person...... the clan can only be included on a party-by-party basis, but if you apply for a party solo and register for an exploratory association, you can participate. I need some extra arm..."
If you say so, it's Ruda, who was either unscrupulous or just a little lucky and talented.
I distract myself from the guy and point to the girl who looks bored and fluttered near the empty table.
Black leather combat clothing to tighten the body surface. She is a brunette shortcut girl dressed in a dagger hanging on her belt with an emphasis on ease of movement. Age would be lower than Ruda's.
"It's Tino Shade. At level four, he belongs in the footsteps with a solo. Famous member."
"Such a little girl..."
"... better not say anything extra. Because age, appearance and short temper are irrelevant."
The role is bandit (sheaf).
He who does not steal things, but is so called because of his enemies and blocking signs, and his ability to unlock traps and locks. Only one person can attack the White Wolf's Nest, a more elevated Luda. He is one of the monsters in the footprint.
For the first time, Master Greg turns his mind on me. Interesting gaze.
"... didn't look like much of a hunter, but you're quite looking into it"
"It's important to gather information. Besides, she's... an apprentice I know."
Pull down the hood you left on and hide your face. More to the point, he is a friend's apprentice.
In other words, my friend was even superior to the monster. Oh, my God.
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know why you're here when you're solo..."
Maybe you stopped soloing and came looking for a new party to attend. Recruitment of members is not necessarily for external use only.
Master Greg laughed with a great arm at me tilting his neck.
"Right there. Right there. I don't know why they're all here... there were rumors. Today, I haven't recruited additional party members for a long time, one of the founding parties of First Steps -" The Mourning Spirit (Stogli) "is the first time in years that I've recruited members."
