Chapter 297

One of the most interesting abilities of adventurers is that they pick up and respond like a ghost to the sound of someone being beaten, no matter how noisy it is.

“You’re pretending to be a bitch and doing shit like shit!”

It was an ordinary punch that didn’t even turn my head without using magical powers, but I deliberately kept my head turned to let you know that I had been hit. Naturally, the adventurers around me reacted in unison and started moving, and a space began to form between me and the person who hit me.

“What is it? A fight?”

“Fight again? There’s no time to be bored!”

If only a fistfight happened, the adventurer’s habit of going into spectator mode, instantly widening the distance as if it had been promised, would not change. It’s probably because it’s winter and there are many adventurers who have nothing left to do but spend money. Thinking that this should have been enough, I turned my head and saw a guy looking at me with the full face of an impression. Do you want to be about 10 cm shorter than me? It’s a physique that I’ve never been able to get anywhere with my height and size.

However, no matter how much I look back, it is a face I do not know. Heck, if it was a familiar face, I wouldn’t have thrown a fist at him. While looking at him for a while, a fence made up of adventurers was formed, and I could see that some adventurers from a distance started to run hurriedly, carrying their drinking bottles at their sides.

“Hey, are kids these days overflowing with energy? For what kind of request, their lives...lives...” ”

Oh, big friends stuck together?”

“Who is it? Who else is cheap...oh, my God.”

reactions are different. People who recognize me and are astonished, people who don’t know me at all, and so on. Maybe another city flew away without me knowing, and the influx of new people like Dangtel increased.

“Are you dumb? You can’t speak after being beaten? Why? Why don’t you hit someone with your shoulder like before?”

Either that or not, the guy who hit me started to raise his voice even more as if his momentum had risen after I didn’t respond. His attitude was so confident that it made me seriously think about whether the culture of the request board had changed while I was gone.

Of course not. Because you’ve already seen everything behind the scenes. Still, because he was so imposing, I couldn’t help but ask him, wondering if there might be a reason I didn’t understand.

“Why did you hit me?”

“What? Why did you hit me? What the fuck did you push someone like that? Why are you hitting me?”

Well, there is no reason either. As I moved my gaze toward the reception desk for the last time before I went to work, several receptionists were aware of the commotion even though they were busy, and were looking over with expressions wondering what had happened. Some responded that they did not understand, and some immediately grasped the situation and were horrified, and one of them even fell while trying to jump over the reception desk in a hurry. oh wow that hurts a bit

“You don’t have a grudge against me, did you hit me because I pushed you?”

“Why? What’s the difference if you have a grudge?”

“Then it makes a lot of difference.”

As soon as I opened the door, the guild leader Engrim, who was preparing a familiar chocolate box and teacup, greeted me with a smile and invited me to sit down. There was no time to report, so it seems that he saw the commotion that just happened through the window behind him.

It would be difficult to concentrate when working because of such poor soundproofing... Well, it wasn’t something I had to worry about, so I answered naturally and sat down.

“Yes, he’s well-trained, so there’s no need to worry. By the way, I didn’t intend to meet him in this form either... but that friend acted as the referral instead.”

And just from my answer, I could feel Engrim’s smile harden slightly. Of course, it wasn’t because I was worried that Laika would poop.

“It sounds like you wanted to have a meeting in a different form.”

Rather than answering, I thought it would be better to stay silent, so I put Laika on my lap and looked at him with my mouth shut.

“How did you know?”

Indeed, Yan Tier was competent. To be honest, it would have been embarrassing if there had been a response saying that I had no idea at all. First of all, I nodded my head lightly to express my gratitude, then picked up a piece of chocolate and ate it. As soon as you put it in your mouth, the unfamiliar intense sweetness stimulates your taste buds and starts secreting dopamine. After all, expensive things are best eaten with other people’s money.

“Honestly, I don’t know either. It’s because someone more competent than me in that area gave me a word.”

I didn’t hide anything, and I didn’t have any ill feelings toward him, so I answered honestly and lifted the teacup. Engrim nodded slightly and sipped the tea. Thanks to that, a moment of silence began to flow, but somehow I responded naturally to the sudden visit, but it seemed like I needed time to organize my thoughts, so I decided to eat another chocolate without rushing.

Picking up and eating these expensive things may be the biggest pressure, but I should eat these when I have a chance. No matter how thick your pockets are these days, it’s still not enough to indulge in such extravagance.

“There are many reasons why I wanted to meet you, but first I think we should talk about promotion.”

“...a promotion?”

“Yes. You don’t think you’re going to talk about why you’re talking about promotion when you haven’t gone through the promotion test or the equivalent ability test, right?”

To be honest, I thought about saying the same thing as Engrim said, but I also just nodded because it was hard for me to be so brazen. Engrim, who seemed satisfied with that, continued his explanation slowly.

“If you look at achievements alone... In fact, there is nothing that cannot be self-sufficient. However, the case of skipping grades will remain a bad precedent for the guild, so it is a difficult situation.”

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand. No matter how good the intention is, if such a precedent remains, those who are overconfident in my abilities may create things that interfere with my work, saying why I can’t sleep. Nodding obediently this time, Engrim smiled even more satisfied.

“However, this is just a matter of formality, and as soon as you apply for self-sufficiency, we will take action so that it passes naturally.

“Forms and procedures are important. I fully understand them.”

I answered with sincerity, but surprisingly, Engrim’s reaction was not very satisfactory. It’s like... ‘Did you say that?’ It was like a reaction, so I was a little dumbfounded.

I am a person who always values formalities and procedures, so why am I giving such an unfair look?
