Chapter 195 - Don't disappoint me, my students
Souta and the rest went to the Adventurers Guild. When they entered the guild, they noticed that the people here could be counted in one hand.
The silence was present in the atmosphere. No one was uttering any words. When Souta's group entered the guild, they just glanced at them.
"Even here... This is much worse than the Fersch dukedom." Souta commented as he felt the cold atmosphere in the air.
"Yeah, terrible things happened there but the adventurers there were lively unlike here." Lumilia nodded at his words.
"Mila, Fersch dukedom? Where's that place?" Lynn asked Lumilia in a low voice.
Lumilia didn't know how to explain it to Lynn. Lynn still didn't know that she was a member of Souta's party.
"Oh, right? Since all of you were here. Do you want to become an adventurer?" Souta looked back at them and asked with a smile. "You can enter any town or city easily using Adventurer's ID. It's not that bad to have it."
"If it will help us then why not," Yujin replied to him.
Souta smiled then he looked at Alice and Lynn. "How about the two of you?"
"I'll register too..." Lynn said.
"Fine, if it will not cost me anything," Alice said.
"Good. Follow me." Souta said and he turned around. He walked towards the receptionist and asked, "I want to register these three as an adventurer."
He then showed his Adventurer's ID to the receptionist. The receptionist looked at it and saw that Souta was a C-rank adventurer. She was surprised at first but she immediately regained her senses.
"Please wait a moment sir." The receptionist said in a polite tone and she took out three pieces of paper from the drawer beneath her desk. She placed it in front of them and told them to fill up the information.
"S-She's acting politely in front of Souta," Lynn whispered in Lumilia's ear.
"Nothing is surprising about that. Souta is a C-rank adventurer and C-rank adventurers are respected in this field of work. They are just below B-rank who could hunt third evolution monster." Lumilia explained to Lynn.
"You know a lot about Souta, Mila," Lynn said.
"Well, I'll tell you that I'm a member of his party. I got expelled by my father so I don't have any income so I decided to become an adventurer." Lumilia patiently explained to Lynn with a wry smile. She felt guilty about hiding it from her friend.
"Really? That's good, Mila! I wanted to join Souta's party too." Lynn said with a bright smile. She already imagining herself joining Souta's party.
What she didn't know that ever since Souta discovered her sensory ability, he was already planning to train and recruit her into his team. If she knew that Souta valued her then maybe she wouldn't be able to sleep at night because of excitement.
"Lynn! Lynn!"
Lynn snapped out of her thoughts when she heard someone calling her name. She looked and saw that it was Souta.
"Come here, you need to write your information here," Souta said to her.
"O-Okay." Lynn nodded and she went beside Yujin and Alice.
Souta looked at them who were writing down their information on the piece of paper. He then turned to the receptionist and asked, "Do you know what's going on in this village? We just came here yesterday so we don't have any information. I just felt weird about not seeing other people."
"That...? This village is like this, to begin with. Every month some of the people vanished. No one knew the reason why but there's a rumor that some powerful monster was guarding this village in exchange for people." The receptionist explained it to him.
The people that were staying here rarely go out of their house. They were afraid that they were going to become the next sacrifice.
But why they didn't leave this village. The receptionist also explained it to Souta. She told him that because a lot of monsters came out of the Night Light Forest. Those monsters destroyed the other neighboring village but this village was under the protection of some unknown entity.
The guild master personally investigated this but he came out nothing. He didn't found anything useful in his investigation.
"I see... So that's the case..." Souta nodded and thanked her for giving information to him.
Lynn, Alice, and Yujin finished what they were doing. They gave their papers to the receptionist and the receptionist started to process their information.
"Please, wait a moment. It will take a while before the machine generates your ID." The receptionist said to them in a polite tone.
"Okay, we'll wait here." Souta nodded at her. He then rubbed his chin and processed the information he just received in his mind.
Suddenly, the door was slammed opened and Bryan came inside full of bruises.
"Souta!!" Bryan shouted at the top of his lungs.
Souta turned his head and looked at Bryan from top to bottom. "Why are you like that?"
"Me? Ah, this..." Bryan looked down and saw that there's some bloodstain on his clothes. "My group went out to complete the task. We fought several teams and managed to defeat them. But then, George noticed that we're the target of all teams."
"Wait..." Souta raised his hand and stopped Bryan from saying anything. "Bryan, can tell us what happened? Explain to us what you experience..."
Lynn, Lumilia, Yujin, and Alice looked at Bryan with a serious expression. They didn't think that Bryan would attack the other classes first. Well, if they think about his personality, they could only say that it was within their expectations.
Bryan loves fighting, a battle maniac. So when they received the task about defeating other teams, Bryan must have thought to go there immediately and fight other teams. Luckily, George was in his group and stopped Bryan from going there.
"Well, this morning... We head out to find other classes. We found them and fought them. I defeated them but George noticed that our team are the targets of all teams. He asked one of the people that we defeated and found that their task was to defeat us Mage class 1-B..." Bryan paused and he knitted his brows. He tried to recall what George said to him before coming here. "Hmm....."
"What is it?" Souta asked him.
"Wait, I forgot what George said to me..." Bryan said. Then, he exclaimed, "I remember now! George didn't say anything about it. It was Nayo! Ah~ how could I forgot about it."
Everyone sighed at Bryan. They already expected it.
"Bryan, what did Nayo say?" Souta asked as he massaged his temples.
"She told me to tell you that our class became the target of the whole first year. The reward points are high." Bryan said to them.
Everyone was shocked when they heard his words. Their class was the target of every class in this outdoor training.
"Bryan, is that real?" Lumilia asked him with a surprised expression.
"That's what she told me," Bryan said to her with an innocent expression.
"Ah, If that's true then hundreds of students will attack us relentlessly," Souta said as he rubbed his chin. He then looked at Bryan and asked, "Where are your teammates?"
"They are resting in their room," Bryan replied to him.
"Can you tell her that I'm going to talk to her later? I want to hear the story from your teammates." Souta said to him.
"Okay." Bryan nodded and he left the guild.
Souta looked at his teammates and saw that they were contemplating what they heard just now. He looked at Lumilia and asked, "What's your opinion about this Lumilia?"
"I think that the institute will not issue a task to defeat a single class but when I think about what happened in the special test... It's possible." Lumilia said to them.
In the special test, their class dominated everyone. No, it was right to say that Souta was the one who dominated them. Their gap from the second place was too wide.
"I also think that we shouldn't need to worry about that," Lumilia said to them.
"And why is it?" Souta asked him with a smile.
"Well, the other class needed to adopt in this life just like Lynn. It will take her a few days before she got used to living like this. Hunting monsters isn't that easy after all." Lumilia glanced at her friend. "But... We received training from the institute. We possessed the power to hunt them but were not used to fighting monsters. So we have three or four days before they attack us."
"Good." Souta nodded at her. He was satisfied with her explanation. Every student just needed to get used to hunting monsters. After they adopted, hunting some second evolution monster was not a problem for them.
...
Bargan who was watching the other class smiled. He opened his mouth and muttered, "I wonder what will you do... My students... I even used my authority to change the task so don't disappoint me."
