A week has passed since then.
　I overheard that the Nightmare guild has disbanded.
　I'm wondering what happened, but so far there is no sign of an attack on The Tempest.
　I'm not that interested in it, so I've decided to be a little cautious and just go about my day as usual.

　...... Speaking of which, the B-ranked quests have not yet been requested and can't be accepted.
　Quests are either requested directly by the guild, or they are sent to the guild federation.
　These quests are chosen based on the guild's reputation.
　Because Tempest was rated the lowest until recently, there are no B-rated quests available.
　According to Eleanor, the fact that there are already C-ranked quests being sent around is quite expected, so there's no point in worrying about it just because you still can't get the B-ranked quests.


　Besides, if you can't take the quest, then you can't take it and there's a lot of other things to do .


...... Phew, it's pretty handy to be able to act in the middle of the night as well .


　I switched on the lighting fixture in my room and worked out my muscles by controlling my magic and straining them.
　It's all thanks to a spell I thought about the other day to cut down on my sleep time.
　...... To be more precise, it's not magic but a skill.
　Just as I did with the Hard Sword Reformer, I've acquired an original skill.
　I called it the "sleeping method".

　The idea itself is simple... it was based on the magical power recovery technique.
　As a byproduct of this, I also acquired the skill of Super Recovery.


　──────────────────── ...

　Skill "Super recovery
　Your natural recovery of strength increases significantly. The lower your strength is, the more you recover.

　──────────────────── ...

　With these methods, the secretion of growth hormones is magically activated to enable you to sleep in an extremely short period of time.
　An hour of sleep under the sacred sleep method is equivalent to eight hours' worth of sleep.
　This allows me to use 23 hours of sleep in a day.

　I can work when everyone else is asleep.



"Aruji ...... quietly ......

"Sorry. ......


　I've decided to stop my strength training and work out out out of Kyu's way .
　I could sneak out of the room and take advantage of the Tempest's arena: .......

　Then came the next month.
　Most of the Tempest's alumni are now in the guild.
　There are now 12 of them.

　The guild master must report once a month on the condition of the guild's members.
　You will also be notified of any changes in your guild's ranks when you report in.

　We've all gathered to hear about it.
　Some are sitting in chairs, some are standing, but we'll hear from them anyway.

"The reason we've risen in rank...

　Lloyd-san read out the names of the members.
　All the new adventurers who were F-ranked had risen to E-rank.

''Fia has been promoted from D to C.''

Oh, all the hard work was worth it.

　Fear smiles happily.

'You did it, Fear.'

'Yes!　I've been trying pretty hard lately.

　Proud to be Feer.
　In fact, that's true, and Feer must have worked pretty hard.
　Moving up from D to C is not as easy as moving up from F to E. It's not as easy as moving up from D to C.
　Her efforts to do so in just one month can't be compared to what she did before the competition.

　I occasionally have mock fights with Fea, and she's gotten quite strong.
　She's learned more skills and has become more versatile in battle.
　Feer will continue to get stronger and stronger.

　And my rank remains the same as before.
　Well, I guess it can't be helped.
　Even though I caught an A-ranked criminal, I still haven't completed any B-ranked quests.
　That's a long way to go to get promoted.


And Revell, I've got the B-ranked quest for you.

　Lloyd-san said that and handed me the request form.



　Delivering the robust horns of the 20-level boss of [Minotaur] in [Dungeon Flappera].



　Hmm, this is the first time I've been to a dungeon as a quest.


You can have up to four members of your guild in a party to go through a dungeon. There's a lot of preparations to be made, so don't let your guard down. But since he's in Revell, he'll do it right.

That's not true. I'm so glad to hear that.

　Party or .......
　Then I'd really like to get Fear and Kurt to help me out.
　Kurt's not here right now, so I'll ask Fea first.

So, Feer, why don't you put together a party with me?

'To ......?　Oh, is that okay with me?

Of course. It would be reassuring to have Fia in the party.

'I see ...... that's it. ...... I can't help it Mr. Revell already, I'd love to have you!

　I'm not sure if it's from above or below, Feer's attitude is a bit amusing.
　At any rate, I'm relieved to hear that Fear is going to help me out.
