There was a test to select a general goods merchant and alchemist for the Adventurer Academy.

At the same time, about three days after the day when Chairman Mureos personally punished the warrior Claude and his group.

Naturally, an official letter came from the Adventurer’s Guild headquarters.

“Hmph. Young people.”

The contents of the official document were obvious.

They dared to personally impose severe punishment on the adventurer who held the title of hero and his party.

It was an official document condemning it as an act that crossed the line.

Of course, it was none of my business.

The fact that they are only sending criticism through official letters in the first place means that nothing more can be done.

If they were planning to do something, they would have sent someone, or sent an official letter saying they would impose some kind of punishment.

Even the elders know this.

Although I felt the punishment was a little excessive, I couldn’t help it since it was a fair punishment for those who were caught red-handed.

However, we can’t just do nothing due to the pressure coming from the church and the Blaze family, so we’re sending out an official letter of criticism like this.

“What can you do?”

Mureos laughed as if it were ridiculous, crumpled up the paper and put it in the trash can.

At exactly that moment, the chairman’s secretary came into the chairman’s office.

“Chairman, we will soon have to send someone to those who passed the first exam to become a miscellaneous goods merchant.”

“Oh, that’s already happened.”

Now that I think about it, three days have already passed.

Now, after going through the second interview test, the final successful candidate must be determined.

However, Mureos already had a successful candidate in mind.

‘Edin.’

Of course, the successful candidate was Edin.

A truly overwhelming ability.

Honestly, who else would pass if not him?

He showed his most outstanding skills even on that occasion.

‘Healing potion, sticky potion, poisoning potion. All three are B rank. It was even the highest quality product among the B ranks.’

Even if they were sold in gold units, the quality was satisfactory enough to buy them.

E-rank to D-rank items sold at local general stores sell for a few dozen bronze to a few silver each.

Considering that one night at an inn costs about 2-3 silver and one meal costs about 30-40 bronze.

That alone can be said to be quite expensive.

Because it is a consumable item that is used once and then disappears.

However, it is understandable that B-rank products are gold units.

Of course, as the level of the potion goes up, the price goes up exponentially.

100 bronzes make up 1 silver, and 100 silvers make up 1 gold.

Even if it costs only 2-3 gold each, it is worth enough to buy a single consumable, which would cover the living expenses of a commoner for several months.

It is truly shocking that it is made from low to mid-level materials that only cost a few bronze pieces.

If we do a rough calculation with a simple calculation, the value has increased by almost 1,000 times.

That’s the level of technology.

‘It seemed like the Alchemist’s Guild was keeping an eye on him. ‘I have to take the lead before they take it first.’

A guard has already been posted where he is staying.

This was to prevent any approach from the Alchemist Guild.

‘I guess I should have at least imprisoned that spy before.’

A spy from the Alchemist Guild who was captured during the exam.

Just by looking at him, he seemed to know Edin’s talent, so he caught him, but he didn’t do anything wrong enough to imprison him or kill him.

After erasing his memories of Edin with memory erasing magic, he was told not to go near him and released him.

But now I was feeling a bit regretful.

If you find traces of the memory erasing spell and dispel the spell, information about Edin will flow to the Alchemist Guild.

Of course, it will not be easy to dispel as it is a magic cast by Archmage Mureos Avantreddin himself.

In the end, it is only a matter of time.

‘Well, that’s enough. By that time, you will have become a member of our academy anyway.’

No matter how good the Alchemist’s Guild is, it won’t be able to provide the same exceptional treatment and environment as the Adventurer’s Academy.

she assured.

What if you want the same level of facilities as the Alchemist Guild?

I was willing to make it at my own expense.

Anyway, in fact, the final successful candidate was decided to be Edin.

‘I can’t let other people make a mistake for no reason.’

She thought so and told her secretary.

“Send to only one person who passed the first round. The rest will be eliminated.”

“…Yes? One person?”

The secretary looks at her in surprise.

A total of 3 people received a passing score in the first test.

Aside from Edin, two more people received passing scores.

They were alchemists of considerable skill.

According to the standards of the Alchemist Guild, the skill is comparable to that of a senior alchemist.

“Yes. One person.”

Of course, we lose to Edin in points anyway.

Since Chairman Mureos, the Academy’s most powerful person, has already made it a point in his mind, there is no doubt in the world that they will be selected.

So, to avoid making a fuss from the beginning, just bring Edin.

“…sigh. I understand.”

The secretary sighed again and nodded.

I knew very well that even if I said no anyway, I would still be stubborn.

‘The 70-year-old grandmother is stubborn again.’

“I can see everything you think. You must have multiple lives.”

“……”

The secretary fell silent at her warning.

Of course I know.

No matter what they say, they will never cut you or take your life unless you seriously cross the line.

Mureos avantredine.

One of the top five archmages on all continents, the founder of the Adventurer Academy, and the chairman of the Adventurer Academy.

Although she has all the great titles attached to her, from experience, she is just a kind grandmother who is just a little stubborn.

Of course, she looked like a mature, attractive woman in her 30s.

“…I thought you were a grandmother again?”

“……”

…I think I might have a slightly nasty personality.

The secretary thought briefly.

“Aaaah! Ahhh!”

bang! Pow! Kwasik!

The Marquis of Blaze of the Salte Kingdom.

Crazy screams had been echoing from the mansion where the Blaze family lived since last night.

“Ah, lady…! Calm down!”

“Fuck!! Do I look serious now?!”

The owner of the scream was none other than Marquis Blaze’s youngest daughter, Mary Blaze.

Three days ago, she received a sleepless curse that made it impossible for her to fall asleep.

Of course, I tried every possible method to get it done right away the day I received it.

He went to church with Sophia and tried to push away the curse with his magic.

Since he was placed on home probation, he returned as a marquis and received help from the head of the family, a much more powerful wizard than himself… that is, from his father, Marquis Draco.

However, the person who cast the curse spell was none other than ‘Mureos Avantreddin.’

There are few people in this world who are better than her as a wizard.

The Lord of the Gold Dragon, who is said to be the most knowledgeable about magic among the dragons, the ‘Wanderer Sen’ who wanders the world and is said not even God knows where he is, the guild master of the wizard’s guild… No matter how much I think about it, there are only two or three that come to mind.

Even they feel like they are the strongest magicians on a similar level, rather than being one step above Mureos.

To put it simply, it was safe to say that there was no one here right now who could break the curse spell she truly cast.

“Aaagh!”

3 days without being able to do anything.

Mary was already annoyed that she had been under home confinement for a month, but not sleeping for three days made her even more nervous.

It finally exploded last night, when everyone was asleep.

It was glowing until morning.

“Calm down, Mary!”

In the end, it only stopped glowing after his father, Marquis Draco, came.

Of course, that didn’t mean my nerves had calmed down.

“Si-ik… Si-ik…”

It is not surprising that it explodes at any time; it is literally a time bomb.

The workers were afraid.

This was because some people were seriously burned by the fire magic she threw while trying to stop them.

“How dare you do this to my daughter… Mureos Avantredine…”

Marquis Draco gritted his teeth as he watched his youngest daughter suffer.

Of course, that doesn’t mean she didn’t do anything wrong.

However, the Wyvern Gun had already been punished by the Adventurer’s Guild, and the attempted assault within the guild branch building was merely a case of being on the sidelines.

And yet, I have to suffer such a terrible punishment!

Marquis Draco swore revenge on Chairman Mureos and began to communicate somewhere through a contact modification.

#

“Hello, are you Edin?”

“…Ah, yes.”

The date to contact those who passed the first test was 10 am.

When I left the room and went down to the first floor of the inn, a person dressed very neatly was waiting for me.

Well-groomed navy blue hair and a tailcoat? suit? A very neat outfit with the same feel.

A very disciplined movement that can be felt even when saying hello.

It feels like a very capable butler.

Of course, judging by the curves of her body and appearance, it seems like she is a woman.

Anyway, he said he came to get me.

Oh… but I still passed the first round.

thank god.

To be honest, I was a little worried, but as expected, I was in good condition that day.

“Then, shall we go?”

I leave the inn while being escorted by a nice butler-like woman.

It’s an amazing feeling to receive such a luxurious escort in a place where the cheapest room is only 2 silver per night.

Do all nobles live like this…?

But that was just the beginning.

When I went out…

“Wow…”

There was a carriage waiting for me so gorgeous that it made me cry.

A silver carriage pulled by two well-maintained, muscular horses with extremely smooth fur.

It was shining brightly in the sunlight.

That’s what real nobles ride…

I can’t believe it… I can’t believe I’m riding that, right?

At that moment, I started to feel anxious.

Anyway, this level of luxury is a bit burdensome.

“Now, let’s get in.”

“……”

But my uneasy premonitions are never wrong.

The hand gestures of the luxurious-looking female butler were directed precisely toward the silver carriage.

Ah… uh… if I tell you to walk, will you get angry…?
