Chapter 165 – The Married House of Sargadis (10)
“If it’s a silver promotion, are you going to take the test again?”
I returned the question to the receptionist after accepting the payment for the nomination request I had received from Dana.
It felt a little strange when my wife’s money went into my bank account after the commission was ripped off and quartered. I feel like I just paid the commission and bought the performance.
Well, anyway, that’s it, and when I was promoted to Beutak the other day, I took any of the quests the guild received and passed on as if this was a test.
However, in Professor Brahmaton’s book, it was said that formal exams existed from the silver class onwards.
However, the receptionist was perplexed by my question, as if a claim had come in.
“I apologize for acting like a test many times in a short period of time. You may be dissatisfied, but please understand that it is the policy of the coalition.”
“I am not complaining. I was just curious.”
Perhaps the news had spread from Carlisle? The receptionist was relieved to know that I wasn’t overreacting. No, it could just be because the tier-chungs are oversensitive before promotion.
“I’m glad you said that. So, this is the content of the test, but the basic parts are the same as the Bronze class promotion. The difference is that you have to complete the quests distributed by the guild rather than the way you do them.”
“Are you saying that the guild will give you a request?”
It was Lalilura who was curious. Even Fran didn’t say it, but it feels like he’s interested.
The receptionist looked at me as if he could explain. I shrugged.
“I only know roughly. Can you hear me?”
“As much as you like. This is a silver class promotion request scheduled in a while.”
─Fallang. I received the document and read it with the party members.
It was a simple request titled [Subjugating Orcs].
“It’s not just people who stock up on food before winter. It is a test to subdue orcs before any damage is done.”
Said the receptionist. Of course I didn’t believe it.
You can honestly say, ‘It’s annoying to set up exams every time, but I have to volunteer.’
There were a lot more ordinary citizens than I thought, who gave such damned evaluations of adventurers that they didn’t move even when people died before they got paid. It’s not exactly wrong, though.
Perhaps the guild people made this request because the number of Gauguin members would decrease if monsters ruined the village. It’s a win-win.
“Is this how the applicants form a party?”
“For this test, the guild is putting applicants in balance.”
“Okay.”
Rarely have I had to worry so much.
Speaking of the promotion match, Kang Buk-ho of the 21st century, who slurped cup noodles and challenged with a 5-minute cut, has long been behind.
‘I deserved to be offered a promotion, but it’s still a bit early.’
To be precise, it didn’t come to me, but to the party members.
The basic members were a party of 4: me, Fran, Tyrsi, and Lalilura.
The problem is that Ralilura, who only registered to go to the celebration, is still in trouble!
If I was promoted, it would be the 4 Deep Sea Siblings who gathered as much as Silver, Bronze, and Agtag in the party.
‘It’s not good to have a difference of more than 2 ranks in the same party.’
The head of the party is a silver class, but the party got stuck in it?
The Agtagi included there will never be recognized for their performance.
I think it’s imaginary just to carry supplies in a dangerous battle, but the rules of the adventurer’s guild union say so.
‘Did you mean to prevent riding the bus?’
It was also written in Professor Brahmaton’s book.
In the past, it was said that even those who were caught in high-level requests recognized their achievements, but they disappeared about 10 years ago.
Why? In other words, it was because there were people who got on the bus and got an adventurer rating that was beyond their means.
The adventurer level was more like a medal concept than a company title.
A manager of a small business would serve coffee to an assistant manager who came to pick up a subcontractor, but an Olympic medalist is similar to being highly respected by the rest of the athletic community.
That’s why the guild is always cautious about promotion.
We have to stop the young millet anchovy that looks like it would break if hit and show off the medal it won in front of a weightlifter.
‘First of all, the other party members’ skills are close to silver, but…’
Fran, whose color of the pressure stone was in the upper ranks of bronze, is in a state of awakening mana.
Even I was afraid to fight with Lalilura, who was piloting Unit 3.5 by Lingling—I would be very sick if I got hit by a laser beam (physical)—and Tirshi wasn’t even on the level of bronze.
‘But apart from actual skills, they’re all bubbly because of their performance.’
I know why guilds can’t easily promote skilled adventurers.
There is a fear of getting a license and running to a place where treatment is good, and if a high-ranking adventurer plays a game, it leads to a stigma in the guild and the guild alliance.
I thought that far and asked the receptionist.
“It’s not okay to apply and return it, right?”
“That… Cancellation is difficult because of the party assignment problem.”
“Is that so too? Oh, I’ll have a quick discussion.”
After talking to the receptionist, we gathered together.
Probably because it was a familiar procedure by now, Fran and Lalilura quickly sat down in a chair in a corner of the guild.
“Senior~. What was the problem with what we just talked about?”
Rari Lura asked, tapping her foot on her chair. I organized her words and explained.
“If I become a silver class, there will be no meaning for us to be active as a party.”
It was a bit like accepting a bronze class request after wearing silver.
There is a bastard who comes to the place where the level 100 is hunting and sweeps the quest?! Is there anything to do with the fucking newbies?
Raw insects are never viewed favorably in any world.
Cubs who frequently carry out lower-level quests than themselves will receive lower ratings. The exception was the subjugation request assistant, where Bronze looked after the children.
If I don’t match my skills, I’ll take away the requests from the blokes, and I’ll be put on the promotion restriction blacklist if I do this shit.
Like an officer who is 60 years old and unable to be promoted to sergeant after being caught embezzlement, he would have raised the staff roll of his life to the last line.
After explaining that, Fran said.
“Isn’t it difficult to promote at the same time like last time? Because the difference in performance between Nord and me is huge.”
“I’m not happy with the outcome, but that’s how it turned out.”
What the Black Mage Countermeasures Alliance said.
Unintentionally, he exploded the golem of a baby unicorn and ripped off the baby’s head.
Maybe these two were fucking big.
If there had been a special promotion system, there might have been offers from the beginning. Didn’t you get stuck as soon as you put on silver? The feeling of being able to do it.
Larry Lura nodded her head and she smiled cheekily.
“Senior? Don’t hesitate~? If I’m getting in the way, can I work alone until I’m bronzed♡?”
“Isn’t it really like that? Since the results of the tower exploration quest must have been entered, you’ll be bronzed as long as you complete a few quests.”
We shared among the party members the success of the place name request from the Archaeological Institute (=Dana).
With just a few achievements called Lari Lu, she would be able to pass the promotion test.
‘Even so, I can’t accept silver class requests.’
Since it is a combination of 1 silver and 3 bronze, her belly button is bigger than her stomach.
Since there are more bronze than silver, the guild won’t give you permission. So while I was thinking of a method, Fran raised his hand.
“Nor? I’ve been thinking about it, is it just a matter of accumulating performance so that I can be promoted together with Nord?”
“Uh? Oh, right. The problem at hand is that. Lalilura, well, I’m going to take bronze soon.”
“Thank god. Then, what if Ralilura accepts an iron class subjugation request and I go there as a helper?”
“Helper?”
I noticed immediately after asking that question. It’s what Tyrsi did in the sewer reconnaissance quest in the past.
“Oh, is that good?”
In that way, Fran and Lalilura could move together. It meant that I didn’t have to go on dangerous quests with people whose skills and personalities were not trustworthy.
Even with these two people, the request for Agtag would be to lie down and eat rice cakes.
Considering Fran’s detection ability, if there is no crazy person like the wall-piercing bug captain, it would be possible to request Budak. Fran, who couldn’t use mana, also caught the Hobgoblin with me in a 2-man pot.
Fran finished talking after my reaction was good.
“And maybe my tacit evaluation in the guild might be ‘the kid who made progress thanks to Norr’?”
“Hehe. Hopefully not. I think it’s a good idea.”
As we were roughing up our plans, Larry Lura couldn’t seem to keep up with her. She gave her explanation as if she was a bit of an outcast, looking at each other and answering questions.
“When an iron class receives a subjugation request, one member of the bronze class is attached. If Frann volunteers as a helper for the quest you received, you can form a party while taking care of each other’s performance until you are promoted to bronze.”
“Ah, was that what you were talking about! But isn’t that why Fran is losing money by helping me?”
“No. If you volunteer as a helper, the evaluation you receive from the guild will improve, so I will benefit in the long run.”
“Iron classes don’t pay well, so there are few volunteers. If you succeed in 3 or so, a promotion offer will come out, so until then, just do your best together.”
I said that and whispered to Fran.
—But Fran. Are you feeling okay?
─Because of the moon? Lol. Hold on to your worries and be sold out. I’m not good at hunting in my condition. It’s a bit embarrassing, but I hate it.
─That, is it? Thank god.
A forager in another world who can’t think of words to give back to his smiling face.
What type of sanitary pads are in another world?
Expensive things might be better than Earth with magical powers. Because in some fields, there is magic that is superior to the scientific power of the 21st century earth.
Then Lalilura spoke.
“Let’s say I’m going to be promoted soon, what will you do in the meantime?”
“Me? I practice spearmanship, and on days when Tirsi is not working, help her build up performance.”
I am earning money as well.
I swallowed the words behind me. To be honest, money is so damn cheap right now.
After buying a house, the 10 silver that comes in at the end of the month has now become like a penny. It’s fucking Norse inflation.
I have to buy furniture for the house, and I have to make a ring for Dana with the leftover mithril. For a housewarming, you need to prepare food as well.
‘I can see why men in the 21st century save money for marriage.’
It is fortunate that there is no culture of turning rice cakes in another world.
After finding a house and preparing for housekeeping, the money that seemed like a lot melted in an instant like sunscreen applied in the summer.
‘Oh shit. Now that I think about it, I have to send letters to the guild leaders after housewarming.’
Networking is extremely important in this world.
Yes, it would have been the case in real life, but after coming to this world, my goal went from being a local veterinarian, Mr. Kang to being an expert on dimension shifting, Mr. Nord.
It was natural to turn it over to people I knew like Tyrsi, and I had to ask the representatives of the city’s three major adventurer guilds to participate.
It would be great if you send me a gift and a reply saying that I can’t attend because I’m fucking busy. I thought so and said.
“It’s okay to postpone my promotion request as long as possible, so let’s do that for now. I will send a letter to Tyrsi.”
“Yes. Even me and Ralilu will take the request.”
So, while the two of them were planning the request, I borrowed the guild’s mail window and sent a letter to Tyrsi asking if she would like to come to the housewarming.
I’m going to do a housewarming, will you come? You can’t just go and ask them yourself. How the hell would you refuse if I asked that in front of you? Letters are meant to be written at such times.
If Tirsi and Frank wear silver, it’s 3 silver and 1 bronze, so we can get the silver class request only with our party.
I don’t have any money, so I can’t just play Tangja Tangja until Dana analyzes the map and finds the ruins.
