"Absolutely... A good old adult is pathetic. Marina, I'll be your examiner. I don't need any trouble, but don't kill me."
When I couldn't find the examiner for the promotion test, Bogard from the Holy Spirit, who came to the guild occasionally, took on the examiner.
"Thank you, Mr. Bogard. Is that okay...?
He is an A-ranked veteran adventurer, and he has the strength he deserves, but he is not compatible with the Summoner Marina.
It is visible that he was defeated in a short time and that he was greatly ashamed.
"After Jinku-kun appraised me, my skill level was low, but I was able to use Summon Magic. I don't want to miss a chance to fight a Summoner."
I see.
Marina misses Bogard-san, so sometimes when we practice together... the experience gained is different in normal training and practice.
Gilberto has often applied to Marina for a mock fight, but... has Bogard chosen to grow himself out of the shame of the moment?
"Besides, it's not dangerous to let Karen and Will fight. If anything happens, I can't take it back."
"Sure. Marina is small, so if she gets shot with a bow, she dies right away."
Of course, Will's fire magic attack would be over if he took a direct hit.
Marina has more MP in a short amount of time than Will... Marina wins, but sometimes it's just in case.
"Marina. Since you are a Summoner, your Summon Monster's abilities will be evaluated in the Ascension Exam. Do you understand me?
Yes!
Bogard travels to the training ground to take the exam and explains the rules to Marina.
Marina is a Summoner subject to a preferential system, so she's different from a regular adventurer.
"Other magic and defenses are better than none... but they're just aids. Use Summon Magic whenever possible during the exam."
"Bogard-sensei, I understand!
As Marina starts, she's going to call Marimo, her greatest power... with a visibly thick MP all over her body.
The opposing bogard also pulled out the sword that had crushed the blade tip from the sheath and was ready.
"I'm going to throw this coin up. If he falls to the ground, let's start the promotion exam."
"Yes, thank you!
Though Mr. Bogard is the opponent, I am a little worried that Marina will face a battle that neither I nor Esther can intervene in.
May the marina pass peacefully and safely...
"Haaahh!!!
As the bronze coin fell to the ground, Mr. Bogard shouted.
Before Marina summoned Marimo, she was going to use the voice amplified by magic tools to deal damage.
Though I, Esther, and Karen defended themselves with the magic of the wind... the spectators who failed to defend Mr. Bogard's voice suffered from triple control.
…………
Marina, who has been attacked in mock battles with Ian and Gilberto, preferring an ill-conceived strategy, lightly defends herself.
In order to speak loudly, I pierced the gap of Mr. Bogard, who was bent over, and crushed his magic equipment with wind arrows.
Not to mention that I couldn't defeat her with my first shot, I quickly approached Marina... Mr. Bogard tried to beat her with the belly of a sword.
I'm adjusting my orientation just in case, but it looks like I'm dancing my mind against the strong.
"Marimo-chan!
Marina, who exchanged Mr. Bogard's sword with Hiraki, soared up in the sky and called Marimo with summoning magic.
"Ugh!?
And every spectator sitting in the audience crushed Mr. Bogard from above.
"Let's surrender! Marina, bring Marimo back!
Bogard buried in the gel takes the surrender pose with a bitter smile.
Marimo, an S-rank monster, has tangled her whole body... and she has no choice but to admit her defeat before she melts her flesh.
"Ok! Um, Master Bogard. Did I meet the acceptance criteria?
"Of course you'll pass. Marina, you're an A-rank adventurer from today. I'm not in the same position as you."
"Gotcha!!
I'm sorry about Bogard-san... Marina, good work!
I'm glad you're growing up strong.
"It is incumbent on high ranking adventurers to contribute. That's why we deliver the material at least once every six months."
"I see. I will deliver it when your husband moves."
Marina returns indoors and receives an explanation from the receptionist about the rights and obligations of the A-Rank Adventurer.
The terminology that sometimes comes up will be learned one by one, following Esther.
"Phew. It was fun."
Mr. Bogard, who had his Summon Slime cleaned with Marimo's slime jelly, was satisfied with the ale at the counter of the tavern.
"Mr. Bogard. Thank you for being a Marina examiner."
Drop his own ice on the Ale glass he's drinking and thank him....
"Oops, Jink, you're as good as ever."
Whether the ice-chilled ale was delicious or not, Mr. Bogard was in a better mood after a sip.
"By the way, why are you in the guild? The Holy Spirit moves....."
"That's not true ~. Will has accumulated Alliance Contribution Points and meets the criteria for an S-Rank promotion. I thought I'd take a look at the fold."
While answering my question, Karen waves Will's adventurer card.
"Congratulations! If Will is promoted, the Party Rank in the Holy Spirit will also be S!
"Yeah, that's right! That's why we have to pass!
Will's status has grown to S-Rank due to his buffet leveling and participation in the war.
If you're not so unlucky, you can pass.
All three of you are in a good mood, including the lost bogard.
