Legend Chapter 14

A 1 vs 4 fight . Aside from that, it was 4 D rank adventurers against a rookie that just registered at the Adventurers Guild today .

If you thought about it normally, the winner of the fight was obvious . However, the actual conclusion was the rookie shutting out the 4 D rank adventurers in a clean sweep .

Of course, there were various reasons why Rei won, half the watchers were convinced while the other half were unbelieving . In their vision, an adventurers rank was absolute .

Some people understood, for Rei to be accompanied by a rank A monster griffon, he must have some ability . As for the unbelieving people, he was only a 165cm tall person who was neither big or muscular .

While being watched by the onlookers, Rei called to Set .

「Set . 」

「Gururu~!」

With a joyful cry, he left the spot and passed the items he was protecting to Rei as the prize for the fight . .

Firstly, he re-quipped the Misty Ring on his right arm, then he returned the mirthril knife to his waist . Putting his money bag back to his chest, he took the bag of gold that Vargas had bet and stored it into the Misty Ring .

(I will invite unnecessary people if I count the money in front of so many people, I’ll confirm how much there is when I get to the inn later . )

A person in the crowd clicked their tongue . When Rei heard it, he saw the person who had clicked their tongue and recalled who he was . .

「Well, is that okay?」

The voice that called out was from the man that came out of the guild and indicated the fight area . He had watched and spoke out at a suitable time, Rei shook his head at his words .

「No, give me a little bit longer . 」

He replied shortly to the man . Sequentially, he took the long sword, two daggers, a bow, arrows and the battle axe that was lying on the ground and stored them into the Misty Ring .

「……I thought it wasn’t necessary to take their weapons . 」

The man that was watching called out reprovingly, but Rei shook his head in silence .

「In the first place these people picked a fight and the contents of the bet was all their property . They should be grateful and thank me for not stripping their clothes . 」

There were also other reasons why he didn’t want to strip the men’s clothes .

「……Well, okay . The guild policy is not to interfere between adventurer conflicts . Though I don’t think I need to confirm it again, the rules mean that I have to check . Are you Rei?」

「Ah . 」

「You’re hoping for a rank up from H to G?」

「That’s right . If you have combat knowledge, I heard you can rank up from H to G on the first day?」

「Certainly . 」

「So, I think I was able to show my combat ability from the battle before……is the rank up possible?」

「There are no complaints . A rookie who just just registered with the guild knocking down a D rank adventurer party alone……although I saw it with my own eyes it’s unbelievable . However, since I saw it, I’ll believe it . 」

Interested in the words of the man, who was smiling wryly, Rei observed him . He was in his late thirties to forties, from the scar that could be seen his cheek, he was probably a former adventurer . His height was about the same as Vargas, 190cm, and seemed to have a muscular body .

Urged by the man to re-enter the guild, Rei faced the guild, disregarding the curious gazes of the spectators .

By the way, Set returned to the place he was at before and lay down again after he saw Rei go back into the guild .

Also, the residents of Gimuru were of course happy that even though the spectators were curious, none of them were reckless enough to meddle with Set .

「We’ve already entered the guild, but what about those guys lying outside?」

「As I said earlier, it has been ruled that the guild will not intervene in problems between adventurers . So, your guild card . 」

Following the man’s words, the man walked further inside after Rei gave his guild card . As the man walked away, Rei looked around the guild . The people who had saw the commotion earlier wore expressions of astonishment and assent as they looked at Rei .

Among the people who were looking, one man approached Rei .

Rei remembered the man . At the beginning, he was one of the people drinking with Vargas, he had left to drink by himself when Vargas picked a fight with the rookie Rei .

「That was surprising, after all, what to say……well, it feels like everything fell into place . 」

「……You are?」

「Runo . Though I think you know, I’m a person who formed a temporary party with the fools who picked a fight with you . 」

「……Temporary?」

「Yes . Those guys said that the request this time was tough . That’s the reason I temporarily joined their party as an assistant . I wonder what they were thinking, getting involved with a monster like you . With that party, I’ll receive damage if I stayed with them . 」

Monster . Hearing that word, Rei’s cheeks twitched .

It didn’t hurt his feeling that he was called a monster . In the first place, Rei thought that about half his body was like a monster . However, that was true because Rei knew the performance of his body . The existence of Set probably wasn’t even noticed by those inside the guild .

「Monster, eh . Why would you call me that?　It can’t be……by appearance?」

He watched Runo closely so as to not miss any suspicious movements .

However, Runo quickly shook his head, showing that he had no hostility .

「Oi oi, don’t look at me like that . When I said that, I was honest . 」

「……So?」

Prompted by Rei, Runo continued with cold sweat .

「To begin with, the reason why I partnered up with Vargas was because I have an extraordinary type of eyes called magic eyes . 」

「Magic eyes?」

「Ah . ……Even I say that, its not a powerful magic eye where I can enchant or petrify things by looking at them . My magic eyes only have one ability . I can see magic power . 」

「Seeing magic power……eh . 」

「Ah . As for working with Vargas this time, there is a dungeon a few days from here, one of the levels has magic traps . For the purposes of clearing it, my eye was necessary . So, when I looked at you with my magic eyes……you magic power has a quantity and concentration that honestly can’t be explained in any words other than monster . 」

「……I see . You’ve convinced me for now . 」

As he nodded, Rei’s interest turned towards the dungeon .

Dungeon . For some reason, when magic power gathers, an existence can form with the materialization of a nucleus . The monster that gains power due to the nucleus becomes the boss monster of the dungeon, the scale of the dungeon gradually increases unless the boss monster is defeated .

Once the boss monster has been defeated at least once, the scale of the dungeon will become fixed .

Furthermore, because of the dungeon’s nature to accumulate magic power, common beasts entering and turning into monsters was a common story . In addition, whenever the number of monsters in the dungeon dropped below a certain number, the nucleus would either transfer monsters to it or create new monsters .

Though the dungeon disappears if the nucleus is destroyed, the material and monsters that the dungeon created will not disappear, adventurers who aim to get money gather the drops . There will be a profit exceeding the disadvantages as merchants will come to purchase the materials .

(Dungeon……saying that there are a lot of monsters, going there sooner or later with Set is not a bad idea . Getting some decent skills is also good . The problem is with the Death Scythe and fire magic, I can only afford to do combat maneuvers with Set if there is enough space . )

As Rei thought this in his head, the man who took his guild card came back .

「What, you seem to get along with Runo even though he formed a temporary party with Vargas and that rowdy bunch . 」

「Gran, don’t say unnecessary things . Because I was friends with Vargas I had a lot of trouble clearing the misunderstanding . 」

「Runo is the same as usual . Rei, I’ll tentatively introduce Runo as an able adventurer . Basically, he is a fighter, can use some attack magic, can use some recovery magic and is a convenient fellow who also has some thievery skills . 」

The man, Gran, explained Runo’s capabilities as he passed the guild card . While listening to him talk, Rei muttered .

「In other words, Jack of all trades, master of none . 」

「……No, well, it’s not entirely true . I wonder if it was a little bit unclear . 」

「There’s no doubt this guy is convenient to have in a party . Hey, why don’t you form a party with Runo?」

Gran recommend that Rei should form a party with Runo .

Actually, Gran had expectations for the new guy Rei……his abilities were outstanding – normally, a rookie wouldn’t be able to take 4 D rank adventurers in a one sided fight – anyway, he had high expectations for Rei’s talent . However, he seemed to have problems with interpersonal relationships as he immediately got into trouble with a D rank adventurer party right after registering . Therefore, although Rei’s abilities were powerful, he hoped that Runo would be able to help improve his interpersonal relations if they were in the same party .

「Sorry . I intend to work solo for now . I have a companion already . 」

Rei refused frankly . In the first place, the material of a monster that sells the most is the magic stone . However, Rei’s purpose was to let the magic stones be absorbed by Set and the Death Scythe, also, there was definitely going to be disagreements when in a party .

「……Well, certainly it would be leisurely if you have a griffon for a companion . 」

「Griffon?」

Because Runo was in the guild the entire time, naturally, he never heard any news about Set .

Gran noticed that and and his mouth turned into a grin .

「I see, you don’t know since you were drinking alone when Vargas went out . Rei over there tamed a griffon . 」

「……Really?」

Runo asked disbelievingly, Rei answered with a nod as he placed the guild card into the Misty Ring .

TLN: There’s three people talking to each other now so I’ll put a note he for who’s talking to who .

「Now then . The the rank improvement has been updated, I must get going soon . You should find him an inn . 」 (Runo to Gran)

「I see . It’s a pity……by the way, have you decided on an inn?」(Gran to Runo then Gran to Rei)

「Ah . I was told by a guard called Ranga to go to the Dusk Wheat Pavilion . I mean, I heard that it was the only inn that has the facilities to take care of Set . 」(Rei to Gran)

Gran nodded at Rei’s explanation . Gran knew that the Dusk Wheat Pavilion was the only inn that could take care of a griffon . If he hadn’t decided on an inn, he was going to introduce that place .

「I see . You seem to already know . After going out of the guild go straight to the right until you see a sign saying Dusk Wheat . You’ll know immediately when you see a sunset and wheat symbol . 」

「Ah, thank you . 」

Thanking Gran, Rei left the guild . While seeing Rei’s back as he left, Gran had a premonition that the future would become becoming noisy in various ways .

「Guru~」

When Rei approached, Set opened his eyes and gave a happy cry .

「I kept you waiting . Since the only accommodation seems to be the Dusk Wheat Pavilion, lets get going quickly . 」

Rei talked while stroking the smooth hair on Set’s back……

「Gururu~」

Having never been separated from Rei since he was born, Set was quite dependent and rubbed his head against Rei .

After caring for Set for about 10 minutes, they left the guild .
