-You must have gotten there by luck and without any skills. Do you think C-rank dungeons are a joke? Why don’t you drop out before you feel embarrassed?

The woman whom people referred to as ‘Vera’ was blatantly sarcastic.

“Well, that bitch looks like moldy dough… !”

Along with the people screaming, Mercy also got angry.

He even sat on my shoulder and punched the air.

I slowly turned my head and checked the other video mirror.

Number 4 was too far away to be seen, but number 3 was visible.

Coincidentally, Vera’s party was party number 3.

Vivian, Helena, and Lucia were unable to react immediately to the rather unexpected argument.

Among the group, Vivian was the first to step forward.

The people watching together were excited.

Because Vivian’s appearance just now was not suitable for this situation at all.

While waiting to see how she comes out.

-sorry… !

Vivian immediately bowed down and apologized.

-We have to pass the test! I don’t think I should leave midway… .

She started off speaking confidently, even for her, but later on, she trailed off, perhaps because she was embarrassed.

‘Is this a strategy to prevent spitting on smiling faces?’

Since I apologized politely for being so territorial, it would be difficult to provoke him further.

It may have been a frustrating situation, but the onlookers actually cheered her on, perhaps thanks to Vivian’s personality.

The awkwardness shown earlier combined with the kind heart.

Everyone seemed to be fascinated by Vivian’s unique gentle atmosphere.

-her… .

The other side probably didn’t expect it either and just laughed.

Vivian spoke to that as well.

-that… ! I think you may find us uncomfortable as you have already taken the test several times. It is true that we receive too much attention compared to the period of time we have been active.

… What is this?

Is this a high-level scam?

Isn’t this something like, “Why are you showing off when you fail the official exam so many times?”

-But we qualified to take the exam fairly, and we were determined to pass.

Considering Vivian’s personality, probably not.

She may be purely trying to be considerate and understanding of the other person.

‘Is this what you call pure evil?’

-I promised my manager. You are still watching.

Vivian grinned as she said that.

In a way, it was a very wise response that completely eliminated unnecessary conflict.

However, the quality of the opponent was much worse than Vivian’s common sense.

-what the. What are we talking about? Are you making fun of us?

-Yes, yes? Oh, no… . It’s not like that… ? Why do you think so… ?

-And that guy named Ian. Isn’t that the same thing that got kicked out of the first party?

-… what?

-Philip is also that guy? Isn’t it a bit strange? If he was really such a great person, why would he be kicked out? Isn’t it actually insignificant? It’s obvious if you think about it a little, but stupid kids like you would fall for something like that.

-… … .

“Growl… .”

Kati, who was in her arms, showed her teeth.

It seemed like he was about to storm into that dungeon, so I gently patted his head.

“It’s okay.”

“Huh… . Do you want to die?”

Mercy tilted her head as if it was absurd.

“Why did you say something like that in front of Vivian… .”

Those muttered words were drowned out by people’s shouting and could not be heard.

The whole area is in an uproar, as if they are demanding that Vera be killed immediately.

The noise that penetrates my ears is enough to make my body cry.

I glanced in the mirror three times and saw that it was just as noisy over there.

There is so much noise that it is difficult to distinguish the sound, but it seems like they are cheering.

‘If this continues, won’t there be a fight between people cheering for other parties?’

When I turned my head again, Lucia sneaked out and pushed Vivian back.

A shadow appeared on Vivian’s face for a brief moment, and her eerie eyes were staring intently at Vera.

It was the same expression Felix showed before when he tried to kill me.

-Well, we may not like it. In the end, bringing in people from the outside only seems like they’re being forced to do it because they can’t find fault with us.

Lucia spoke leisurely.

It wasn’t even an honorific.

Considering the Fiorene family’s competition for rank, a situation like this might be funny to Lucia.

-I don’t know much because I just became a hero. I heard that warriors prioritize their skills over their experience.

That’s what I told you, and it’s true.

It doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been active.

A B-class warrior who has been active for 1 year, and an E-class warrior who has been active for 5 years.

Of course, B-class heroes are given much preferential treatment and respect.

-however?

-I don’t know how many times you failed the test. We’re going to pass this exam in one go. then… .

Lucia crossed her arms and smiled bitterly.

-Isn’t arguing with us an act of suicide? To that one.

It was the same as saying that if you have any complaints, let’s fight here.

Certainly, she is talented as a warrior in many ways.

You can see how well he responds even in situations like this.

Cheers spread among the onlookers, and Lucia’s name was chanted.

“Lucia! Lucia!”

“Mites You don’t have to say anything bad about Vivian! Because Lucia will do it!”

-It seems like you don’t know your place just because you’ve become famous.

Vera drew her sword and glared.

-I know. I can’t tell you how great and grateful I am for everyone’s support. If I ask you, will you meet your manager well?

Lucia sneered leisurely without even lifting a weapon.

-ah. But our manager is not interested in weak and mean people like you. sorry.

-You bastard!

Vera couldn’t stand it any longer and kicked the ground.

Accompanied by people’s cries, Vera quickly arrived right in front of Lucia.

Even then, Lucia did not draw her sword, but she was not defenseless.

‘They’re aiming for a sword technique.’

A technique completely specialized in surprise attacks.

Lucia was aiming for that.

but.

-It’s dangerous!

A curtain of soft yellow light covered Lucia’s face.

Helena intervened, thinking Lucia was late.

Vera had already swung her sword, but Helena’s protection blocked it.

thud!

With an explosion that seemed to shake the ground, Vera disappeared.

“… … .”

An awkward silence settled in the hall.

No one knew what was going on right away.

So, Vera was now thrown back by Bangho’s rebound force.

The force of the bounce was so strong that it seemed as if it had disappeared before my eyes.

-Ahh!

Vera’s scream as she walked away informed me of that fact belatedly.

“What, what just… . What happened?”

Just like this confused person, Vera’s group on the screen also seemed confused.

This may be the first time you see protection like this in your life.

-thank you.

Lucia grinned and gently stroked the back of Helena’s head.

-What, uh, Vera… .

The rest of the group hesitated and awkwardly tried to back away.

That moment.

-Where are you going?

Vivian’s cold voice caught them.

As she stepped out with her head slightly lowered and winked, a huge wall of ice rose up behind Vera and the others.

It was the ‘Ice Wall’ that Vivian had recently learned.

The problem is that the ice wall was almost like a castle wall.

– Apologize and go.

Vivian said as if warning.

-Our manager, Ian, must apologize for insulting him before he can go.

-Well, that’s Vera… .

-That’s not something I should consider.

There was no longer cute Vivian on the screen.

Her cold, sunken eyes looked at the rest of Vera’s group as if scanning a target.

A brief moment of hesitation.

-Cugung… . Coo… .

A loud vibration sound spread out from somewhere on the screen.

From here outside, it was difficult to know which direction it was going.

However, because the characters on the screen felt puzzled and turned their heads, I was able to know the direction.

This was the direction Vera flew.

-Cow… .

The vibration got closer.

-Paseuuk, phaseudeuk… .

With the sound of trees breaking.

-Whoa, whoa… .

Vera appeared limping, covered in blood and as if she had been injured.

What followed.

-Pasasasat… .

A huge scorpion appeared.

The monster identified by the guild was a giant jungle scorpion.

The dark brown scorpion was so big that its tail reached the top of a jungle tree.

It seemed like the tongs could hold up to 10 people at once.

-Do, help me… .

Vera collapsed.

“Heo-eok-!”

“Monster… ? Is that a monster?”

“It’s not that big… .”

Onlookers held their breath.

Some of them seemed to be seeing the monster for the first time.

“You can fight something like that and win… ?”

It was reasonable to have such doubts.

Because the person facing the giant scorpion right now was so small.

Those worries were unfounded.

Before Vera’s group could do anything.

-Quad!

Ice flowers bloomed beneath the scorpion’s feet.

The scorpion’s leg that had stepped on the sharp edge was about to be cut off.

-Kwabababaak!

Huge ice spears flew in all at once and struck the scorpion.

-Kick, key gain… .

The scorpion trembled and moaned.

However, the subsequent lightning that fell from the sky inadvertently trampled even the terminal.

-bang!

The lightning bolt that pierced through the open carapace of the ice spear exploded the scorpion along with the ice flower structure.

Green fluid and the scorpion’s shredded body fell.

-wow… .

Lucia gave a low exclamation, and Helena also swallowed her saliva.

Until then, Vivian had not even looked at the scorpion.

The gaze that was still fixed on Vera’s group returned to Vera covered in green bodily fluid.

-I apologize for what I said earlier.

The weight of words has changed.
