The parties of all three first-year intermediate classes were divided.

A total of 31 members.

Total party is 7 teams.

There was one teacher in each party.

Riley’s party is a party of four: Riley, Octo, Ens, and Tom.

The teacher was Larsen, a former A-rank adventurer and swordsmanship teacher.

“Now, I’m going to go to the guild and receive the request directly.”

Saying that, the students flock to the adventurer’s guild.

The Preta branch was not as crowded as expected, so as many as 30 students were able to get inside without difficulty.

That can only happen.

All adventurers know that students go out for outdoor training in the afternoon after lunch.

That’s why we deliberately left the guild as empty as possible during that time, and everyone went out after receiving requests in advance.

Consideration for students?

Rather, I thought it would be better to just get the job and move on since I would have to compete with students anyway for requests.

As we entered the guild smoothly, the staff welcomed the students and teachers.

“Hello.”

“Welcome.”

“Oh…”

“Wow. This is the guild building.”

Among the first-year academy students, there were some who had entered the guild building itself for the first time, so many students looked around in fascination.

But to keep them from getting distracted, the teachers quickly led them to where the request board was.

A huge request board.

The bulletin board is about the height of a person and is spread out almost 10 meters long.

Because it was well organized by rank.

Most of the students were concentrated in D and E ranks.

Almost all intermediate level students receive requests of that rank.

“It’s still too early for you guys. Even if you can’t do it, you have to be a 3rd grader.”

Among them, there were students who secretly snooped around C-rank and got scolded.

“If it’s at your level… Among the D-rank requests, a sweep request would be appropriate.”

Larsen said, scanning Riley’s party.

For students with little experience, it is common to receive a sweep request that simply involves wiping out monsters.

Of course, defeating monsters also requires knowledge, skills, and experience.

The academy also fills in that part theoretically.

They intentionally accept requests that are weaker than their level in order to gain experience.

Although this party currently has Riley, who is getting the lowest grades in Intermediate Class 3.

The remaining three are well-balanced and have top scores.

If we look at simple military power, there would be no problem if we put him in as a C-rank adventurer right away.

Therefore, there is no need to go down to E rank, and a D rank sweep request is appropriate.

“Then how about this? It’s a request from the village of Ibenspev. This is a request to deal with a group of orcs that seem to have settled down near the village.”

“Um.”

Okto takes the orc extermination request posted on the adventurer guild’s request bulletin board.

In the process, the student party that was targeting first saw this and rolled their eyes, but Okto gave them a glance and quietly retreated.

It was a scene that showed how high his skill and power were in his class.

“Um.”

But Larsen seemed a little worried.

Request to eliminate D-rank monsters.

Obviously, with their skills, they can easily solve that level of request just by helping Larsen when he is in danger.

However, the fact that the opponent was an orc was a bit of a problem.

Oak.

One of the ferocious sub-races that was classified as a monster.

With its unique and terrifying reproductive ability, once discovered, it quickly grows like a cockroach and becomes a huge threat.

Therefore, the key is to deal with orcs as quickly as possible upon initial discovery.

Although each object is definitely D-rank or lower.

If their numbers increase and they become a tribe, they are dangerous enough to be treated as C-rank from then on.

‘The request came yesterday. Even if the orcs appeared a little earlier, less than 5 days would have passed since they settled down.’

Fortunately, there is not enough time for the numbers to increase in earnest.

The fee for completing the quest is 60 silver.

The price is quite cheap compared to the level of difficulty.

This is probably the price that students want to receive.

So other adventurers didn’t take it and it still remains.

“Hmm.”

Larsen was worried.

Can I accept this request?

The number of orcs listed here is approximately 10.

This is a request that can be easily completed by a well-organized D-rank party.

However, if you take into account variables such as timing and the villagers’ mistakes…

‘I don’t think there will be any major difficulties.’

Still, the conclusion is that it is possible.

Even though there is Riley who has the lowest level of skill in the intermediate class, the other guys are quite capable.

The conclusion was that it was okay because I was confident.

The reason I was worried was because of Riley’s presence.

This was because it could be dangerous for her the moment two or more orcs get together.

‘Rather, it might be helpful for Riley to experience difficult real-life situations.’

An aspiring adventurer who uses the same sword.

In addition, there was a time when Larsen was a poor student, but he overcame that and came up to this point.

I couldn’t help but feel a little concerned about Riley.

That’s why I had to become even more stubborn.

How did you go from being an inferior student to becoming an A-rank adventurer?

Harsh effort and vicious trials.

In the end, inferior students need a lot of experience and trials to overcome the talents of others.

“Then go with that.”

“Okay~!”

In the end, Riley’s party received the request to ‘clear out the orcs’.

‘Okra… They said it was quite strong, but it was still a low-level monster even among D-ranks.’

Whatever your skills are lacking, try to make up for them with knowledge as much as possible.

She studied theory hard.

Of course, he didn’t neglect sword training either.

Anyway, she recalled the characteristics of orcs she had read about in books.

Green skin and boar-like appearance.

Strong fertility.

The ability of one object is the lowest among D-rank monsters.

Although it is low for a sub-race, its intelligence is still capable of using weapons and performing linked attacks, enough to be considered a sub-race.

And the weakness…

“Now, once you have decided on the request, the next step is to prepare the necessary items. Follow me.”

As she was gathering her thoughts, Larsen called her.

“Yes, yes!”

They returned to the academy to prepare the items needed for the request.

A general store that sells potions and consumables for dealing with monsters and preparing for unexpected situations.

Going there.

Daughter and daughter~

“Welcome, this is the Academy miscellaneous goods store.”

“Ah, welcome.”

After climbing upstairs and waiting for a moment, students wearing academy uniforms began to come in.

Mr. Suiben bowed as if he was used to it.

I hurriedly followed suit and said hello.

“Wow, a general store.”

“Is this your first time here? I’ve been here before.”

“Huh? Have you been here without even requesting it?”

“I just came to look around.”

With a loud buzzing sound, the fairly large general store was quickly filled with about a dozen students.

If you look at the color of the school uniform’s yellow color, you must be a first-year student.

Aha… Now that I think about it, it’s exactly that time.

First year students’ first external practice.

You actually go to the adventurer’s guild, receive a request, and carry out that request.

Because there is a temporary adventurer registration certificate issued by the academy, students can actually perform requests.

Of course, we know that the client will not like it if students accept it, so if a student receives it, the referral fee is measured to be lower than usual.

As a result, there are quite a few people who leave it to students because it is cheap.

Anyway, these guys are going to practice for the first time today.

You must be nervous.

“Give me this!”

“I like this…!”

It is about thinking for yourself what items you need according to the request you received.

Teachers also leave it alone without pointing it out.

No, that’s not it.

This is a miscellaneous goods store.

Here, it is the role of the general store owner to teach the students.

“What kind of request did you receive?”

The student responded to Suiben’s question with shock.

“And, it’s time to clear out a group of kobolds that have appeared in the mine!”

He seemed restless, wondering if he had done something wrong.

It’s refreshing.

I still feel like I’m an aspiring adventurer who doesn’t know anything.

Compared to the past, the perception of the adventurer profession itself has improved greatly, so it felt even more so because many young children from noble families and knight families also applied.

It feels like the average age has become much younger.

“If you’re in a mine, it’s a good idea to bring a luminescent light. Even if there is a wizard in the party, if you use light magic for a long time, magic power is consumed.”

“Ah, yes.”

As expected, Mr. Suiben.

As a veteran adventurer, he is very friendly and explains in an easy-to-understand manner.

Right.

In that way, which ones are needed and which ones are not needed.

And does it teach you how to use this?

I need to watch carefully and learn.

“……”

“Hmm?”

At that time, I felt the students looking at me.

He seemed curious about me, a stranger he was seeing for the first time.

“Ah, my name is Edin and I am your official successor.”

“Ah~”

“You are the person who quit your grandfather and came in.”

When I briefly introduced myself to the students, they looked at me curiously.

“Uh, uhh! this! Please calculate this!”

“Oh, wait a minute! We came first!”

Remembering that they were currently purchasing items at a general store, they hurriedly ran to the checkout counter.

I sent them away and looked around the store.

“Orc’s weakness is fire. As they are a forest-dwelling species, they have never seen fire and have low immunity…”

A female student was seen muttering something while looking at the synthetic tar potion that was made to catch fire easily and burn more intensely.

She was a beautiful girl with long black hair and calm, sunken eyes that gave off an intelligent feel.
