Book 10: Chapter 8: E- Rank Advancement Exam

Two weeks had passed since Halt and his comrades registered as adventurers.

They received commissions from the Royal Capitals Adventurer Guild day after day, and finally, today was the day they would be taking the advancement examination.

The purpose of F, the lowest rank, was to gauge whether or not the people could become adventurers, so the required guild points for advancing to E-rank was low. It was also relatively easy to take the advancement examination.

The adventurers could take the advancement exam in a month or so after receiving suitable commissions and accumulating enough guild points.

Thinking of this, it could be said that Halts team had been quite fast.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

This was because they received a lot of commissions that didnt provide good monetary compensation but gave them more guild points instead such commissions were mainly being avoided by the other adventurers.

Well finally graduate from the lowest rank, meow!

Being an adventurer is quite hard.

Yeah, I didnt expect it to be this harsh.

Merdie, Luke and Ryuushin were reminiscing about the past two weeks.

Their mindset was not because they had to fight strong monsters. If it was just about battles against monsters, then all the members here would easily pass as A-ranks.

Cleaning the underground canals Ugh, I never want to do that again.

Leaffa shivered as she recalled that instance.

Halt accepted a commission to clean the underground canals yesterday, and it had caused quite a huge trauma to the entire family.

Yeah, I totally agree.

Particularly the stench, that had been horrible.

Hmm, I thought I was gonna die.

Youko and Shiro apparently suffered the most because of their keen sense of smell.

Still, I think we did well in the lower class!

Yup, youre right. You can now judge in an instant whether a flower blooming by the street can sell or not.

Sylph replied to Lunas comment.

I discovered this on my way here.

Oh, Luna. That's a showy babys breath! You can sell that for 300 spina.

Sylph, the Wind Spirit King herself, remembered how much this grass was worth which was less than the cost of a single meal.

She could now judge whether a grass is just plain weed or a medicinal plant.

Even Sylph-sama has become quite knowledgeable about medicinal plants. Has this been your goal all along, Halt-sama?

Five slimes appeared.

Johann used the [Scroll of Sealed Monsters], a scroll that could seal the monsters that had been captured beforehand.

This is a special service for you. If you defeat these slimes, Ill acknowledge your advancement to E-rank.

So we just have to defeat some slime, meow?

Waaayy too easy!

We wont have any problems with stronger monsters.

Itll be a landslide victory against the slimes for sure.

Merdie, Hakua, Youko, Ryuushin were underestimating the jiggling smile in front of hem.

It was only natural that they would look down on these slime since they could defeat majins.

Well, well. Sir Johann here gave us an exception and agreed to promote us if we defeat them, so everyone, lets give our best!

A guy smirked after saying that.

The only person who noticed that smirk was the maid who had been constantly paying close attention to him.

The maid was bothered about that grin, so she tried probing the slime monsters.

It was then that she realized.

These slime monsters had been strengthened by the mans mana.

In truth, these slime had been tamed by the worlds strongest sage, and they had been strengthened to the point that it was unbelievable.

The sage caught wind that Johann would depart to hunt slime for the advancement examination, so he ordered the monsters to get themselves captured.

The mans mana was cleverly hidden within the slimes mana.

If not for this maid who had been exposed to that guys mana from when he was young, nobody would probably notice this.

The maid decided not to attack these slimes.

They wouldnt be able to pass the advancement examination if they didnt defeat these monsters, but they were anything but ordinary after being strengthened by that mans mana.

She decided it would be best to monitor the situation.

(Just what is Halt-sama thinking? He said he wanted to become an S-rank as soon as possible, and yet he raised the level of his own advancement exam )

Without any regard to the doubting maid, Johann gave the signal to start the advancement examination.

I want you to show me how you move as a party. I want everyone to participate in the attacks as much as possible. Then Begin!

The battle with the strongest slimes had begun.
