In a conference room on the second floor of the guild, Ray just opened his mouth to the words he had just uttered.

"Is adding "limited" naturally different from normal rank B?"
"Yes. Specifically, he is treated as an ordinary Rank B adventurer, but if he receives a request from a noble or royal family, he will be assisted by the guild."
"... assistant?"
"You may call me an interpreter," Well, I'm an assistant to you because you're not polite to the nobles. To put it very simply, when the assistant listens to or acts with the nobles, he deals with them, and you devote yourself to them."

　Rey, Stee, and Lovre, who were there, thought for a moment... and then the first of them, Stee, spoke.

`Do you mean charm?'
"Well, don't be so,"

　Ray looks displeased at the residence where he nods easily to the word amulet.

"Don't look like that. It's because you're not polite to the nobles. Besides, of course, we will not give any assistance. When a request for the nomination of Ray comes in, he explains what kind of personality Ray has first to the aristocrats who brought the request, and the guild nearest him will assist him only if he is a person who cares about courtesy towards him."
`Wait a minute!'

　Lovre, who clapped his desk with the energy peculiar to the animal race and shouted a protest.
　As might be expected, the desk used by the guild was undamaged by the force of Lovre.
　Residence shakes her head, checking the situation.

"Both you and Ray certainly don't meet the criteria in terms of courtesy to the nobility. However, there was a big difference between you and Ray, even though they didn't reach the same standard. That's why it's a measure. There is also a variety of other purely adventurous abilities. I told you about this a little while I was it?
"Well, that's..."

　Lovre is speechless at the explanation of residence.
　How to divide the fallen bicorns, or Mistyling, or Gryphon's Set, or perhaps this would have led to Ray's special passing of Rank B. All those things passed through my mind...

"Ray, it's a game!"

　Hold the spear against the desk and tell the tip of the spear to Ray.
　Lovre's words continue as people around him are dumbfounded.

"To be honest, I'm not that smart. For the same reason as me, I can't accept Ray who failed the rank-up exam. So I want you to compete with your ability like an adventurer."

　Ray thought about Lovre's words for a few seconds, but he turned his eyes to the residence.
　Make sure he nods small, and Ray nods to Lovre, too.

"All right. Let's take the fight."

　Even for Ray, it was said that he had been promoted to Rank B even though he had received the same evaluation as Lovre, and I understood that Lovre himself was not convinced. That's why Lovre challenged me.
　But it was Stee, Lovre's lover, who couldn't keep quiet when she heard it.

"Wait, Lovre. You know Ray's strength in the fight against bi-corns, don't you? But why are you saying such nonsense?"
"I'm sorry, Stee," I understand it in my head. As the residence told me, my attitude may have been well deserved to be dropped in the rank-up exam. But even so... I'm not convinced of my feelings. It's a battle to get rid of it."
"...stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm such a fool. Sure, do as you please. I'll make sure to see it."

　Lovre smiles a little at Stee's cheeky words, and looks back at Ray with a smile.
　The smile, however, is not the gentle smile he had shown Stee a moment earlier, but the fierce smile of a carnivore in front of his prey.

"Well, if you're satisfied with it, do as you please. It will take some time to renew the guild card anyway. Look, Ray and Stee, hand out your guild card before you go to the training ground. And only the guild needs to know about Ray's exceptions, so I'll announce them in the presentation without any restrictions or words."
"...Announcement? It didn't happen when I was in Rank D, but will you announce that I'm in Rank B?"

　Ray asks, passing a guild card, when a word suddenly breaks out of his residence's mouth.

"Oh, there's a big difference in the number of people in rank D and B. Moreover, if you reach rank B or higher, you will be judged to be a very good player or a first-rate player. For this reason, the names of those who pass the Rank B upgrade examination will be made public. This guild is the only one that will be made public, so I usually use a guild card when I go to other cities to check my rank. Unless there is something else left to do, there is no way to communicate the rank between guilds."

　While telling them so, Residence frowns slightly as she receives Stee and Ray's guild cards.

(Ray, however, has an item box with a Gryphon. although there is a good chance that it will be so far away.)





"Oh, my God! Thank you, Stee! You'll be able to play a good game for a while!"
"Well, did Ray pass, after all?" It's true that I won the bet, but it's my favorite, so I didn't make much money."
"Then why did you bet on Ray?" I mean, that's a bad thing about me for losing to Lovre, man."
"But it's better than him, isn't it?"
"It was a failure to bet on a big hole in the ons, after all... I'll have to spend some time on dried."
"I don't know what kind of guy you are, but what the hell are you thinking?"
"Because it was a big hole..."

　Passing a guild card, Ray, Lovre and Steele descend to the ground floor of the guild and hear rapturous voices.
　When Ray and his team were being passed or rejected the rank-up exam, the guild's ground floor had also found out the results of their bets on the exam.
　Originally, those who bet on Ons, who were actually examiners, could have been refunded, but in the first place, only those who bet on him are known to be involved in this upgrade examination in the guild. Therefore, those who bet on big holes could only say that they were unhappy.
　However, unlike Ray, who is famous for his existence and has been working in Guillum for a long time, few people would bet on Ons, who had no information at all, and a few would bet on a big hole as a memorial.
　Those who were in such a state of ecstasy noticed Ray, Lovre and Stee coming downstairs.
　I tried to congratulate or comfort Lovre, but I noticed the serious expression of Lovre walking in front of me and stopped speaking.
　It's the same with Kenny, who is thinking about Ray, and when he sees Ray, he stops trying to congratulate him first and looks at his friend next to him.

"... what do you think?"
"Mr. Lobre fell and Mr. Ray passed, didn't you? So Mr. Lobre, who couldn't stand it, challenged Mr. Lobre to fight him? But I guess he didn't get involved for stupid reasons, so you can feel relieved about that."
"That's true... but aren't you worried about Ray?"
"You know, Ray is already a Rank B adventurer? Do we need to worry about it?"

　Lenora must be good-natured, as she mutters, but can't stop looking anxiously at the guild door from which she left.
　Kenny also looked dumbfounded at his friend, who insisted he was not worried about Ray, and envied the adventurers who followed him out.a training ground adjacent to a guild Ray and Lovre face each other at the bare ground.
　Rey's hand has a death size, Lovre's hand has a spear, Stee between them, and the adventurers who followed him out of the guild for somehow. And, perhaps sensing Ray's presence, Seto is also seen outside the training ground.

"... I'm sorry, Ray. for my selfishness."
"Don't worry. In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't be doing the same thing."
"Do you mind? Don't forget that this is just a mock game. You must never attack each other in a way that would kill you."

　When asked to referee by Lovre, Stee murmurs disapproval, and when Ray and Lovre hear it, they nod that they have no objection.
　And around these lays...

"Well, I have three silver coins for Ray!"
"Five pieces of copper for Lovre,"
"If you look at it purely in terms of combat power, Lovre has no chance of winning. I have four silver coins in Ray."
"You lost before, so win this time. a piece of silver for Lovre!"

　The enthusiasm for betting on the rank-up examination may not have cooled down yet. The adventurers around Ray and Lovre begin to bet on who will win as soon as they find out they will fight. Stee had been watching the situation a little, but she probably decided that it would never start and never end at this way. breathe out a small sigh before opening one's mouth

"Well, you two, don't get hurt, then?"

　The moment Stee's mouth signals a start, Lovre kicks the ground and settles in with Ray.
　As expected, there are wolf beasts, and even taking part in the rank-up examination, their instantaneous power is very high. As you look at it, you fill in on Ray, and you get a sharp, well-modulated thrust from the beginning.
　Ray wields death-size and stones at the thrust, which is released at a rate that cuts through the air.
　There was a clink of metal in the training ground, and at that point, the people around me who were not very strong in combat could not understand what had happened.
　Then, from there, repeated clashes of metal and metal echoes.
　Needless to say, the sound of Lovre's spear colliding with Ray's death size.

"Are you even?"
"No way, it's Ray. Maybe he's still watching."
"...I can hardly see what's going on..."

　Such voices of the audience were right, for they were adventurers.
　Indeed, Ray's death size and Lovre's spear now look even. However, Ray's wielded death size has not been subjected to the act of spreading magic, which is also a magic item usage.
　Lovre probably knows it, too. He bites his teeth frustratedly, as if his thrust was easily played.

(Is this... the ability of a notorious person?) But not yet. I can't finish it like this yet, either!

　Shout inside and leap back with the spear back.

"Here I go, this is my last resort!"

　Screaming, concentrating magic Lovre.
　Lovre, a warrior, is basically incapable of magic. But it's not that Lobre has no magical powers, it's because Lobre didn't have the skills to manipulate magic, and he concentrated on training as a warrior.
　And some warriors could carry out magical attacks even if they could not use magic, which was applied to Lovre.
　When Ray saw Lovre, the shock wave technique that Millerine had shown him before passed through his mind, and the next moment...

"Penetrate Fangoo!"

　With that cry, Lovre drains into the spear of Lovre's magical powers, and at the same time draws upon Lovre, showing the instantaneous power peculiar to the Beast race.
　The magic that is poured into the spear becomes powerful, and the spear turns sharply around the ear and the spear in the wind, increasing the penetrating power of the thrust to the limit that the hand of the spear can bear.
　A thrust specializing in penetrating power that cannot be compared to the thrusts Lovre has released. The thrust peeled Ray's fangs to gouge his throat...

"Powerslash!"

　Death-size, with his words coming out of Ray's mouth, blows the approaching spear down into the air.

`Oh, my God!'

　The moment his hand was paralyzed by the impact of a spear spun by a death-size blow, and at the same time his inner hand was easily crushed by a mental impact that stopped him from moving.

"That's it,"

　Lovre had admitted his defeat to a death-size blade that had been thrust down his throat from behind.
