by fnovelpiaThe day after I kicked Edin out.
Claude led the party to the adventurer’s guild.
An incredibly large guild building.
It was one of the largest buildings in Preta, the capital city and one of the most developed on the continent.
The site and size are such that one could believe it was the mansion of a fairly high-ranking noble.
The place was crowded with adventurers in various outfits.
Empire people, foreign people with black hair or dark skin, sub-races like elves and lizardmen, etc.
The sight of people of numerous nationalities and even sub-races coming and going without any problem was typical of the Preta branch, which could be said to be the headquarters of the Adventurer’s Guild, the largest guild in the world.
“It’s Claude.”
“Oh… it’s the warrior Claude.”
Even among so many people, Claude definitely stood out.
Because he is a top adventurer who has received the title of hero, and because he goes around bragging about it with excitement.
There was no adventurer in Preta who did not know his face.
‘Kkkk. Pathetic things.’
Receiving envious looks from other adventurers, he entered the guild building with his shoulders raised.
“Are there any A-rank requests?”
Once inside, Claude approached the guild reception desk, spoke informally to the staff member, and asked about the A-rank request.
Of course, he passed those who were waiting and confidently came forward as if he were first.
“……”
“……”
The adventurers felt annoyed at the sight, but after realizing that he had received the title of hero and was a rapidly rising adventurer, they quietly retreated.
Not only has he received the title of Hero, but he is a super special comet who is said to have the potential to rise to S-rank adventurer within a year or two.
I couldn’t do something ugly here for no reason.
“Ah, warrior Claude. Welcome.”
Although she did not hesitate to commit extremely rude behavior, the female employee at the reception, Semira, bowed to Claude and his party members as if she was used to it.
This kind of thing happened every day when Claude came, so I thought I would just do it now.
She had short brown hair and attractive freckles, and was a very popular employee among adventurers at the Preta branch.
Thanks to her cute appearance, male adventurers, and sometimes even female adventurers, would flirt with her.
Claude also had a secret crush on her, so he always came to her when looking for requests from the Preta branch.
Of course, just like now, we pass all those who were waiting.
“Are you carrying out A-rank requests in earnest?”
“Yes. I feel like I’m getting along well with my new party.”
As Claude said that, he moved his hands like snakes with a sinister look in his eyes and hugged Mary and Sophia.
“Eomat.”
“Kya…”
The two people suddenly hugged by Claude blushed and turned their heads, as if they were surprised but not disgusted.
Clearly, the phrase ‘they fit well together’ is not just a statement made by an adventurer party.
I could tell very well by looking at the expressions and reactions of those three.
‘Ha… Should I have to look like that in the morning?’
Semira, who was watching this, felt annoyed coming from deep inside.
He may be an A-rank adventurer and a warrior, but he has such an attitude in front of people.
Perhaps that is also to show that he is an excellent male.
And that too… to appeal to himself.
As a result, she was in a very moody mood this morning.
‘I only feel sorry for Edin. Scorching Mary and White Angel Sophia also don’t have a good reputation… huh?
She suddenly realized that Edin, who always accompanied Claude, was no longer there.
Normally, you should always be next to me.
It was late for me to notice because he usually doesn’t have much of a presence.
“This way. This is a request from ‘Clamp’, a village belonging to the northwest capital. The content is the extermination of a group of wyverns perched on the side of a cliff some distance from the village.”
I was curious about where Edin was, but it looked too strange to ask directly, so I decided to sneak around and ask.
“…There are 4 party members carrying out the quest as usual, is that correct?”
If Edin was doing something else, there would be four of them.
But if not…
“Huh? Can’t you tell when you see it? There are three people. Me, Mary, Sophia.”
“…I see.”
This made it clear.
That guy, Edin, was kicked out of the party.
‘Well, it can’t be helped. Because Edin is a C-rank adventurer. Even considering that I am a special job as an alchemist, I do not have the strength to handle A-rank requests in the field.’
It’s unfortunate, but what can you do?
It was clear that Edin would have just kicked that guy out, saying he wasn’t helpful.
Semira felt rather fortunate.
It seemed better for Edin to separate from Claude and pursue adventurer activities separately or find something else to do.
It felt so sad to see Claude always doing random errands.
‘I hope you have a good time wherever you go.’
Still, the female employee was quite fond of Edin, who, unlike Claude, was kind and personable.
Although he wasn’t rational, he was a person I quite liked as a person.
So I thought, I hope he does well wherever he goes.

‘There’s an application form in the security room at the entrance to the academy, so just fill it out and give it to the security guard!’
As Lunarin said, we arrived at the security room at the entrance to the Adventurer Academy.
Apparently, the applicants were outsiders, and there were people trying to infiltrate the academy by disguising themselves as applicants, so it seemed like they were receiving application documents from the security office.
“How did you come?”
When I went to the entrance of the Adventurer’s Academy, two very tough-looking, large men came out and looked down at me.
It’s not just what it looks like.
From the looks of it, I can feel the spirit of at least a B-rank adventurer.
Although he seemed a bit weaker than Claude or other A-rank adventurers… he still seemed strong enough to guard the entrance to the academy.
If regular security guards are that strong, the security captain and internal security guards must be even stronger.
Would you say it is one of the world’s leading educational institutions?
“Ah, I heard they are hiring a miscellaneous goods merchant for the Academy… so I came to apply.”
“I see. Come this way.”
When I told them my purpose, the security guards kindly guided me, contrary to what they appeared.
When I entered the entrance security room, they handed me a pen and a piece of paper.
“Here, you can write your personal information, history, motivation for applying, and self-introduction.”
The guidance is familiar, as if several people have already been there.
I nod my head to their words, sit down, and fill out the documents.
Name, age, current occupation, history, self-introduction, etc.
The document was neatly formatted and seemed easy to use.
Where, the name is Edin.
Age is 27…
C-rank adventurer, alchemist.
Specialty… making potions?
Next, what is the motivation for applying?
Because a friend recommended it?
Are you unemployed and trying to find a job?
Hmm… now that I think about it, I feel like there isn’t much to write about.
The only thing I can say about my background is that I am a C-rank adventurer, and the reason I applied was because Lunalin recommended me.
Also introduce yourself… I’m just from a rural village and I’m making a living to become a great adventurer… About?
Well, if I were a judge, I don’t think I’d ever want to pick someone.
However, I don’t have the writing skills to turn a personal statement into a personal novel and write a great story.
‘It’s an application anyway, and you’re selected after taking a test, so write roughly!’
Lunalin said that, but honestly, I’m a little worried.
…Can I pass the documents?
Ah, well.
If it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing we can do.
If you get a job at a general store and work hard, wouldn’t you be able to save enough money to open your own store someday?
Let’s just bump into each other.
After filling in as much information as I could, I submitted the application documents to the security guard.
“Did you bring any documents separately?”
“…Huh? Oh yes.”
“I see.”
what? Were there any documents you had to bring separately?
Well… do you also provide certificates, awards, etc.?
Looks like everyone else paid.
“……”
For some reason, I started to feel more anxious.

“C-rank adventurer Edin. Is this person?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The day after meeting with Edin, Lunarin Brettis went to work at the Adventurer Academy and immediately visited the academy’s chairman, Mureos Avantreddin.
A former S-rank adventurer and, of course, a former warrior.
Even now that he is retired, he is a very strong wizard and is called ‘one of the top five great wizards on the entire continent.’
Although she is over 70 years old, she looks like a young woman in her early 30s.
Her hair was gray and gray, but her appearance gave off a mysterious look, making her look like a mature and mysterious beauty.
Currently, as the chairman of the academy, he is in charge of overall operation of the academy.
In other words, if the academy selects a faculty member.
This means that this person can have the greatest impact.
That’s why Lunalin came to visit her.
“This friend is that great?”
“Really. Honestly, when it comes to talent, he is better than me or the chairman.”
Lunarin criticized herself and Mureos without hesitation.
Although he might have felt bad about that fact, Mureos showed no such sign at all.
‘That kid would go so far as to say that?’
That’s because Lunarin’s pride in his talent was actually stronger than that of Mureos.
She was so proud that she said that even the recently rising hero Claude and currently active S-rank adventurers were nothing compared to her potential.
Lunarin simply said that she would not compete with them because her goals were different, and that she could win as much as she wanted if she put her mind to it.
One of the few geniuses she recognized and respected was Mureos.
But a great man whom he recognizes and respects, and a genius who even acknowledges his own talent with great pride?
After saying that, Chairman Mureos also started to become a little interested.
“Alchemist Edin.”
And just then, the application documents arrived to her, saying that another applicant for the general store owner had arrived today.
The applicant’s name was Edin.
