Time goes back a little, about a week before Schwartz took the D-rank promotion exam, Ashley had come to the General Alliance Outpost in Myral Village.

"Schwartz Powder......?

Senior Remi heard Mr. Schwartz's first and last name and still has the same expression that he doesn't sound as familiar as I do.

"Yes, I contacted the Seal Officer of the King's Capital to confirm the nobility register of the Kingdom of Kurtomerga and the neighbouring countries, but to say that there is no royal nobility known as the Powder family with us now in the past."

"Well, he didn't come running from the Baishburn Empire..."

Senior Remi seemed just a little surprised that his thoughts were off target, so where did Mr. Schwartz come from? Before we think about that question, there are still some points to report.

"Oh, my God. Well, bloodline skills for 'exorcism'. But don't let this happen and you can't just leave it like the general manager says.

But I'm a new labyrinth investigation found west of Myral Village, and I'm not leaving here, Ashley needs you to continue to see what's going on near Schwartz, and report back if you need anything. "

"Yes, I understand. But... he's never a bad person, rather..."

"Hmm? What's up, are you in love?

To one of Senior Remi's words I opened my eyes, my face exalted as if it emitted heat, and I felt the pressure of being able to tighten my chest. But stare straight into Senior Remi's face laughing at Niyanya...

"Chi, no! It's not like that!

"Well, if a man who is not an adventurer comes alone to save a strange woman who was taken away by a goblin lair, I would fall in love with her. Well, keep him beside Schwartz, 'exorcism' will be a tough time to make a request."

"But now I'm a general guild investigator...... an apprentice. Being an Adventurer cannot be requested or accompanied."

"I guess Schwartz is doing the request, right? Then there's a time for us to be together."

"Oh, that's..."

Understanding what Senior Remi was trying to say, I went back from the village of Myral to the fortified city of Barga within that day, and when I checked on Mr. Schwartz's recent developments in the General Guild, I prepared for that day.

◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

On the day of the D-rank promotion exam, when I went to the General Alliance main building, it was Mr. Millimaria and Mr. Ashley who waited there.

"Good morning, Mr. Schwartz. The examiner for today's promotion exam will be Ashley in charge. Please ask her for more information about the exam, I usually have work to do, so please excuse me now"

With that said, Mr. Milimaria quickly went across the reception counter. Earpads were picking up Mr. Ashley's ears when he went, "Good luck," but I wonder if Mr. Ashley has anything on this exam as well.

"Good morning, Mr. Ashley. Nice to meet you today."

"Good morning, Mr. Schwartz. Thank you for being a D-rank exam examiner today."

I greeted Mr. Ashley and just checked today's exam. The labyrinth on the way is in the eastern woods, headed on several crusade requests, "The Labyrinth of the Tooth Wolf"

The test will run through the first basement floor here, reaching the second basement floor and returning to the fortified city of Barga. Evaluate multiple aspects, including your ability to fight, survive, and gather information in the labyrinth, and test for problems as a labyrinth explorer.

By saying that I was all set and that Mr. Ashley had no problem, I was just going to the labyrinth. Asked what he would do to get there, Mr. Ashley decided to take the patrol carriage first and go as far as the eastern forest front.

"Mr. Schwartz, have you prepared a map of the first basement of the Labyrinth of the Tooth Wolf?

"Yeah, I heard you could view the basics of the labyrinth at the library, so I went yesterday to check it out. But when I say map, I can do graffiti levels. Is it okay?

"It's been years since a map of the Tooth Wolf's Labyrinth was created, but the map of the Labyrinth doesn't change anywhere, does it?

Maps of the Labyrinth may be requested and created from the General Alliance if they are created by the Explorer and sold into the General Alliance and if the Explorer is good at mapping. However, in both cases, it is basically created with the feeling of a searcher in the labyrinth, thus distorting the scale of the map everywhere.

In this other world, it seems that surveying technology has not advanced at all, but there is no way we can take that technician to explore the labyrinth, and there are only a very few searchers with surveying technology.

In the patrol carriage with such chatter, Ashley checked whether the tools for exploring the labyrinth were ready or not. I guess this is also part of the exam, I headed to the labyrinth of the tooth wolf as I answered the question.

"On the first floor of the labyrinth basement I do not fight. If you get attacked, I'll deal with it, but basically Mr. Schwartz will deal with it alone, okay?

Today Ashley wore leather armor, like the first time she met him, but the battle seemed to be only when she was attacked, carrying luggage bags that seemed to be tool bags, but not armed.

I have received numerous requests over the past three weeks, but the power suits, magazine belts, and stripped firearms were heterogeneously visible and evil noticeable as I went. For this reason, he recently wore a black Napoleon long coat, newly set with avatar customization, on top of his usual gear.

When I was playing VMB, I wasn't even looking for fashion items to wear avatars with these images collapsing, but I was anxious to go out without carrying a weapon, saying that I couldn't walk anywhere in reality in combat clothes. Fortunately, if you wear a long coat or so, you could easily remove it if you manipulate the TSS, so it is possible to do so immediately during battle.

"Of course it is. One thing I'd like to ask you, how far will the adventurer fight and ability you saw in the exam be documented and shared that information in the guild? I think my way of fighting is pretty heterogeneous, and I don't really want to spread the word about it."

"Don't worry there. Acceptance or rejection of the exam is left to the examiner, so basically there is no telling the other guilders what you see and hear in the exam. Besides, this D-rank promotion exam is not a dropping exam, it's close to training, so it doesn't go into much depth."

"Basically......, okay. Don't worry about it."

Get off the patrol carriage, from where you walk down the street to the Labyrinth entrance of the Tooth Wolf. The labyrinth of the tooth wolf was about in the east woods, and even as we got off the patrol carriage, we had to walk more than half an hour from there. As I proceeded with Mr. Ashley in a chat that had nothing to do with the exam, I finally saw the building managing the labyrinth's entry and exit.

"I see the Labyrinth Management Building of the Tooth Wolf. Don't forget, I'll register for exploration there first, and I'll buy white light grass seeds there."

The Labyrinth Management Building manages the records of incoming and outgoing searchers and organizes exploration plans and labyrinth information. There are also lounges and shops, selling restorative medicines and white light grass seeds. It seems that it keeps a record of explorers entering the labyrinth in order to predict to some extent when warcraft and sub-races will overflow from the labyrinth due to the number of explorers who died inside.

Me and Mr. Ashley submitted an exploration plan for the test in the admin building, received permission to explore the labyrinth after confirming the guild card, and proceeded to walk to a large hole that unnaturally opened into the ground in the woods.
