The pinnacle of the adventurers is the first class adventurers.
There were several discussions about whether or not to create a special quota above that, but each time it was passed over.
In other words, a first-class adventurer was the highest rank.
The members of the 'Sacred Tree Penetrating the Clouds' were not proud of their current situation, and were steadfastly carrying out the guild's humble directive of safety investigation today.
''There's nothing unusual about it. That's why I'd say it's an anomaly.''
It was the leader of the party - Abel.
He was a thirty-three year old serpentine man and a sorcery warrior by profession.
They have been meticulously searching the streets of the big city and town and the surrounding area, but nothing strange is going on.
As a party of first class adventurers, they were assigned a large city, an area where the demons were likely to be highly dangerous.
As a result, they've crushed two swarms of goblins and one swarm of ogres.
If it had been a low-ranked adventurer, it might have been a big deal, but in their case, the request also meant that the ogre was to be destroyed as soon as they found it.
The fact that they had made it this far without any particular attrition was what Abel wondered about.
'I agree,'
The one who said that was Benjamin, an elven sorcerer, who was probably about forty years old in appearance.
Elves are much longer-lived and less likely to age than people, so their actual age cannot be determined by their appearance alone.
''An increase in border demon activity, hordes of demons that have suddenly appeared in several areas. It's definitely creepy that there's nothing after that.
And Riela, the female swordswoman of the werewolf tribe, agrees.
'Is this the calm before the storm?'
Karol, the dwarf female archer, says something plausible.
'I think that's very likely. After all, we don't know what caused it.'
Buon, the recovery magician, speaks with a depressed look on his face.
They also have a large party of two rangers, two heavy warriors, one recovery magician and one sorcerer.
It is no wonder that they were born from the merger of two second-level adventuring parties that felt they were on the verge of becoming first-level adventurers.
The adventurer rank system does not have a limit on the number of adventurers.
Even a large group of adventurers could be given a higher rank as long as they met the requirements.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.
''Oh man, ...... empire, are we being targeted?
When Riela frowned, Abel nodded meekly.
''It's such a rich country that it's strange not to be targeted. Even though the Knights and Yagami Akira are standoffish, the country that is messing with you will not go away.
He turned his gaze to Benjamin there.
He thought that with an elf, he might be able to give a different opinion.
'What do you think, Benjamin?'
'We don't have enough information. But I have a feeling it's not that simple. I think it has deeper roots than that.
Benjamin offered a cautious opinion.
'Deeply rooted, ......?'
Riela, who is afraid to ask him, says with a questioning look on his face.
I know it sounds scary, but if all the incidents in the chain of events are the same person, you're going to be very strong. There may not be more than one country behind it. After all, this country has the Eight God Teru, right?
They knew the substandard strength of the eight gods Akira.
In fact, it was not uncommon for them to understand it because they were rather capable of becoming first-class adventurers.
''...... Knowing that and planting it on you, does that mean you have the confidence to fight Yagamihui?''
