Chapter 539: How Hard The Interview Would Be?

Chapter 539: How Hard The Interview Would Be?

Prompted by the guild master, Fran then came to his office.

「Well, please have a seat」

「...Nn」

「Aah, you don’t have to worry about the young lady who seemed to be taking good care of you」

Even though it was their first meeting, he could read Fran’s dejected expression. As expected of a Guild Master. He’s very observant. On the other hand, there was a good chance that I’ll be found out too.

「You’re not angry?」

「Hahaha, I rather like that little lady, don’t you think? It must have been hard for her to stand in front of a suspicious person for the sake of her junior. Well, it was a misunderstanding in the end. Anyway...」

The Guild Master then observed Fran sullenly.

「To someone who can’t tell the difference, you might look like a weak beast girl. And it’s hard to tell the performance of your equipment from its appearance」

Sure, if they didn’t know anything, it might just look like a flimsy piece of cloth equipment.

「Your magic sword certainly stands out, but... Many newcomers are tricked by how a piece of equipment looks, so they often equip themselves with fancy looking good for nothing equipment」

In other words, the Blonde Drill-san――or Charon looked at Fran and thought that a junior student of the Academy of Magic who yearned to be an adventurer was trying to become an adventurer fully equipped with good for nothing equipment.

「So, what’s the Black Lightning Princess, Fran doing in this town? Are you planning to stay here for a long time?」

This guy... His tone of voice was quite rude, but it’s strange to hear a beautiful Elf talk like this because it makes him look more handsome. He looked like a slightly evil and handsome Elf. The Elves were really unfair, weren’t they?

「I’ll be an instructor at the Academy of Magic」

「Hou?」

「Maybe?」

「Huh? What do you mean by “Maybe?” It hasn’t been decided yet?」

「Do you know the Director?」

「Of course I do. I’m the Master of the Adventurer’s Guild, and I’m an Elf too, right?」

It was natural when I thought about it. Fran then inquired about the personality of the director. But the Guild master then crossed his arms lightly and frowned.

「She’s usually a calm and gentle person, but when she gets angry, she’s terrifying. So never make her angry, okay?」

「Okay」

It seems that even the guild master was afraid of the Director of the academy――the High Elf Weena Rhyn. He reminded Fran about it with a pitiful face.

「Is she strong?」

「It’s obvious, right? She’s a High Elf after all」

「I heard she was a great Ocean Magic user」

「Yeah. She’s the greatest Ocean Magic user in this world. She once single-handedly crushed a mid-level dungeon that had a stampede by herself」

What was more is, Weena Rhyn was said to not even moved from the entrance at that time, as she used her excess magic power to create endless amounts of water, submerging everything in the dungeon and suffocating the magic beasts to death.

The sight of her using magic constantly for three days straight was said to be breathtaking.

「What else can she do? Since she’s an Elf, maybe, Spirit Magic?」

「Well, I wonder?」

「Nn? You don’t know?」

「If you’re someone at her level, you’ll probably just use your Ocean Magic for everything. But I’ve never seen her in close combat or using Spirit Magic. And Appraisals don’t work on her either」

「She has an Appraisal Jammer?」

「No, it’s simply because the rank is so overwhelmingly high that Appraisal doesn’t work on her」

It would be like me not being able to appraise a Divine Sword huh? She’s lived for thousands of years and said to be more powerful than any S-ranked adventurer. She may indeed be difficult to Appraise.

「Well, not only is she famous for being the Director of the academy, but she’s also famous for her love of children too. So, I’m sure Fran will have no problem with her」

After that, we had a light chat about the local specialties in the area, and then we left the Guild Masters’ office. It seemed that the Guild Master wanted to find out what kind of personality Fran had. I wonder what kind of rumors were going around about her?
