Legend

Early in the morning the day after I acquired a large number of skills. Ray's appearance was in the guild as a matter of course. Seto had already fallen asleep in what could be called his designated seat, and was happily ringing in the back of his throat when he was fed food by adventurers and city passers-by who came to the guild.

"Seto, you've become the city's favorite."

There was a person who suddenly called out to Ray, who was looking at the board on which the requisition was affixed.

As Ray turned to those who spoke, what was there was Mileyne, the leader of the scorching wind who fought the Oak Kings together in the Oak Crusades.

"You're asking me to do that, too?

"Over there...... so did Ray? I usually take a week off after doing a big request like that..."

With that said, Mileyne's gaze had been nailed to the requisition affixed to the board.

Turning his gaze just to see if what he's saying and doing is different to how it goes, Mileyne smiles somewhere badly.

"Uh, actually. The oak crusade made weapons and armor fashionable.... and not only me, but Sulnin and Ekril were also more or less damaged by weapons and protective equipment, right? So, if I fix it or replace it with a new one, most of the rewards will disappear.... Well, I was thinking it was time to make weapons and armor new, so when it came to just the right opportunity, it was just the right one. Thanks to that, I have to get a new request as soon as possible."

Ray listens to Mileyne and turns his gaze toward the weapon and armor that is lowering on its hips.

Certainly that gear is different from what we saw during the oak crusade, and if you believe Mileyne's words, you must be more powerful than before.

In a slightly remote position, Sulnin and Ekril were similarly looking at the board on which the requisition was affixed, but when they noticed Ray, they were lowering their heads smaller, or waving their hands smaller to greet him.

As I'm greeting those two back, suddenly Mileyne hugs me from back to ray.

"Hey, Ray. If you're looking for a favor anyway, why don't you join us? Look, Seto... you can count on Ray's strength."

Ray smiles bitterly when he realizes where Mileyne's aim lies in that dialogue.

Perhaps if Miraine was the first adventurer to get along with Seto when he unplugged the thunder god axe among the adventurers who took part in the Oak Crusade, because at the same time Miraine was the one who liked Seto the most.

But Ray couldn't snort instantly at Miraine's words like that.

In any case, Ray's purpose is only the monster's demon stone, and material rewards are second to none. And when you party with other adventurers, it's very likely that Ray can rub it if he wants the Demon Stone. Because the most expensive selling of monsters are basically demon stones, with special exceptions.

"Mileyne, don't tell anyone else you can't. Because people have their own circumstances."

You must have seen Ray's troubled face. Sulnin embarrasses Mileyne so much.

"That's right. I know Mr. Mileyne likes Seto, but don't be too unscrupulous."

"Mmmm...... but come on"

It was Mileyne who could be embarrassed not just by the sulnine but even by Ekril, but just then Ray finds one requisition.

The request is written as a survey of another forest near the Devil's Forest, ranked unquestionably and with 5 recruits.

(Can I take this with the scorching wind? Fortunately, I use the pledge seed for the face of the scorching wind, so even if I showed you where I wanted the demon stone, you wouldn't be pursuing it deeply.)

"Miraine, I don't mind if we take this request together, but what do we do?

"Huh? Really!? Which request?"

Mileyne peeks into the requisition with a full grin on Ray's words. But the look quickly clouds.

"Hmm, a forest survey... this request for a hand is quite expensive, but you don't know what kind of monster is coming out because it's just a survey and you're going into a place you don't know much about. But I want to be with Seto, and Ray's fighting skills are fascinating... hmmm... how's Sulnin and Ekril?

Mileyne asks the party members as she stares at the requisition.

Unlike the scorching winds in rank C in the first place, Ray's rank is E. I can't accept a request with Mileyne unless it's an unquestionable request like she's looking at right now. While it is possible for a scorching wind to take a rank E request, it is impossible to bother to take a low-ranking request with low pay even though he wants to make money in the first place.

And the request for no rank is often very low in reward, or the danger is equally high if the reward is high. In this case, an investigation of the forest near the Devil's Forest means that one would go into the latter because it is unclear what monsters will come out.

Requests to crusade the orc settlements, in which rays and scorching winds participated, also enter here in a classified manner.

"I'm sorry, but I'll let you disagree. I'd like to refrain from requesting that the dangers be unknown in a situation where the wand I just bought is not yet familiar."

"Right. I'm sorry, Mr. Mileyne. I'm not still using my new bow, either."

Miraine sighs at the two shaking her head, even though she looks sorry.

"That's right. Well, if I can't help it, I can't help it. I can't help it, suppose I give up today. I'm sorry, Ray. I can't."

"No, I don't mind. I'm staying at the wheat pavilion at dusk, so Seto's at the stables there, too. If you have time, play with him."

"Yeah, you're definitely going. Well, we're around here. I'm not going to be able to pay for the lodging until I find a request that looks really good."

Mileyne sighs unfortunately and leaves with Sulnin and Ekril to the requisition board for the C-rank.

I dropped him off behind that, and now that I thought I had some good requests too... I noticed the shadow coming up again.

Obviously, if you look at Ray and see how he approached you, you would have understood that the person's purpose was Ray.

Around the age, he was in his late teens and early 20s. The gear you're wearing won't be that level of an adventurer. Except for the sword that was equipped at the waist, there was something that caught my eye slightly.

(Devil's sword, huh?

Battle Axe that Vargas, the eagle's claw, had. Or the battle axe that the Elk of the Axe of the Thunder God has. And the Great Sword that Oak King had. Every one of them is a weapon with magic. That is, a magic item. There are things that really attract people because they live in magic, and that's why even Ray, who doesn't have the ability to sense magic, can somehow understand it as a kind of magic item.

And the sword on the man's waist, which approached him in a straight line, also emitted a similar atmosphere, so that he could somehow perceive it as a magic item sword, or demonic sword.

"Are you sure you're Ray?

Stop in front of Ray and nod small at the man asking.

"Oh. So, what about you?

"I'm Alogan. Rank e adventurer."

Rank e adventurer. In other words, it would be the same rank as Ray.

Most importantly, Ray had just become rank E the day before yesterday.

"So, Alogan. What can I do for you?

"Oh. I was out of the city of Gilm on a little request and I came back this morning... to hear some strange rumors there"

"Weird rumors?

"There's no way any Rank G adventurer could have defeated Oak King."

You wouldn't believe it, would you? That appearance of peeking into Ray's face, as though to say, was clearly an act of understanding that Ray was the adventurer who defeated the rumored oak king.

(Are you jealous? Well, either way, you don't even have to deal with them properly)

He whines inside and sighs deliberately.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"So, what can I do for you?

Ignore the appearance of Alogan with blood rising on his head and ask him about the matter.

He was an alogan who was about to have blood on his head again on that attitude, but he just tongues and opens his mouth that it's not funny to be held to the pace like this either.

"What, it's easy. I need you to play a little game with me. I was hoping you could show me what it's like to beat Oak King."

Turn your gaze towards the counter for a moment to say what you expected and what you expected.

I wanted it to stop, but Lenora, who had previously been told to report Ray to her boss if she saw him involved, was no longer there because she was going under her boss to do her job, and I don't suppose that would be a substitute for that, but Kenny was looking at her favorite Ray with a half-hearted look at Arogan.

"What's in it for me to take that fight?

"What?"

What are you talking about? But Allogan sees Ray with a freaking face.

As for Allogan, if he sold the fight, he would definitely buy it unconditionally first, and he became involved with Ray, but the plan was slightly off.

"Come on, that young man. Are you serious? You're still rank E, and you're selling Ray a fight."

"... as far as I can tell, did you say Allogan or something? He hasn't been in the city of Gilm for a while. I can't help it."

"Well... if you don't know anything about Ray, you don't have anything to get involved with or understand. Anyway, he's small, and he looks fancy."

The voice of the adventurers in the guild whispering purposefully echoed around, but it didn't sound like the perfect allogan to stare at Ray.

The eyes of the adventurers who saw such an alogan were like turning to some kind of brave man. Most of all, that brave man is a brave man who only equips himself with sticks and mounts a raid on the dragon.

Somehow, on the first day of Alliance registration, I beat the rank D party eagle claws alone and imitated that I would root for the possession and the equipment, so the deed stands out even if I didn't like it. Because of this, eagle claws still have a busy day to pay off their debts, Ray, who seems seemingly luxurious and weak for adventurers who don't want to see him like that, was already treated close to the gates.

And as those around us have seen earlier, even young people are beginning to show their heads as powerful men. They are close to the scorching winds of Rank C Party, and they are also associated with the Axe of the Thunder God of Rank A Party.... and most importantly, most of the adventurers who were there thought of Griffon, who would be outside the guild.

Rank A Monster, Griffon. Because being hostile to Ray automatically means being hostile to that reaper in the sky as well.

But for Alogan, who had just returned to the city, heard only rumors, and stuck to Ray without even taking the back, there was no way he could understand that. Anyway, I was already strong enough to take the Rank Up test to Rank D, so I decided that a newcomer who had just risen to Rank E wouldn't matter.

In a way, this could also be said to be one of the famous taxes.

"Anyway, you just have to fight me. That way I'll get a good recognition of your abilities, too. Or what? You say you've accomplished an oak king kill, and you're not sure you're gonna beat a rank e adventurer like me?

(I see. You're a similar type to the Dark Star Celil at night.)

Believe only what you want to believe, and that's the type of thing you recognize as real.

If not, you mean it hasn't rotted that far yet? Ray decides that if you crush that overconfident spot here, you'll be at Ceril's two dances.

(Nothing, I don't even have to do that...)

"So it doesn't matter if I can beat you. I'm telling you to show me the benefits of my battle with you."

"... Well, then what do you say you serve?

"Huh? What are you talking about? You want me to compete, don't you? Why would I have to pay you for that?

"Gu,... well, that seems to be the only piece of technology you can get away with... fine. Then when you beat me, I'll give you three silver coins. So what do you say?

"... well, okay. It's just gonna be a hassle to make any more noise here. So, where do we do it?

Encourage people to stay ahead of the conversation just because it seems stupid to deal with them any more.

When you hear that, you finally decide that Ray is willing to fight himself. I turn my gaze toward the Alliance door confidently.

"It won't take that long. I'm gonna end this outside my guild."

Tell him so, Alogan walking out of the guild. Ray sighed again and followed him through the door to the surface.

"Come on, lay down your weapons."

Alogan pulls the demon sword that was equipped on his hips out of his slurry and sheath and points that sword tip toward Ray.

Ray also takes the Death Size out of the Mystering while looking at the sword.

There was a spectacular collection of passing wild horses around, and Allogan's aim to let Ray scratch his shame and expose him in this crowd was obvious.... It's just that there have been similar exchanges before, and quite a few people knew that eagle claws had scratched their shame, so the kind of gaze that Allogan would expect was directed toward Allogan, not Ray.

Note that Seto, who confirmed Ray, who came out of the table, fell asleep again to watch the noise because Ray stopped him with his eyes in an attempt to get up.

"I see, that's the rumored item box"

He was gazing at the mistering that was nestled in Ray's right arm as if he had heard rumors or a tongue nod that Ray had an item box.

Ignoring that, Ray looks to observe the sword Allogan has.

(I see, is it because of that demon sword that I can say excessive confidence? I don't think it's the kind of demon sword Rank E adventurers can have... where did you get it)

Allogan's Devil's Sword has a red tattoo on his black body. The power I received from my body was enough to make me feel that the Devil's Sword possessed considerable power.

"Let's go!

Alogan screams briefly, kicks the ground and waves down its demon sword.

But the speed of manipulating that sword is slow... no, it was enough to say it was dull.

No clarity, no sharpness, no strength.

I'm sure you have enough strength to think of it as a rank e adventurer. But if you try laying with oak kings with great swords of similar magic items, that's exactly the kind of blow you can avoid even with a stretch.

Take the demon sword of Allogan by gently stepping back and raising the death size from the bottom as Allogan's swinging sword tip passes in front of you. At the same time, he tangled himself inside the blade... and jumped up into the air!

In the next moment, when the sharp sound of the Death Size and the Devil's Sword came into contact, the Devil's Sword, which Allogan had, was rising high into the sky, spinning with a circle and arcing, piercing its body against the ground near Allogan.

Speaking of excess, the rest of the way, including Allogan, calms down with Sin.

Ray, who stowed Death Size to Mystering as he watched how it was going, calls out to Arogan.

"No matter how many weapons are first-rate, the user is not third-class..."

That Ray's voice echoed not only among the alogans but also among the wild horses who watched what was going on around them.
