75 27. Adverse effects of being promoted to A rank




 When I was promoted to A-rank adventurer, more and more adventurers began to join the Tempest.
 Not only newcomers but also mid-level adventurers began to join the guild.
 I'm having lunch in the guild now, but many adventurers are talking to me.

Revel-san, you've become quite famous. ......

 Fear said.

'Yeah. Tempest's getting pretty crowded now, isn't it?

Well.... I can't thank Revelle and his team enough.

There's nothing to be grateful for. We went into Tempest expecting this to happen.

...... Huh?

'Tempest is a big guild, so as long as it has a good reputation, it's only natural for people to come, right?

...... I didn't know you were thinking about that. But I'm not sure I'm capable of building a reputation, and I should still be grateful.

You're serious.

No, sir. I'm not poor anymore, and that's a real plus.

...... Oh, I see.

 I congratulated Feer in my heart for de-poverty.
 Just then, the door to the guild opened with great force.
 The door was opened by a large man.
 He carried a large hammer on his back.
 As the man entered, three men came in from behind him in turn.
 All eyes in the guild were on them at once, and I could hear them talking in a buzz.

''That guy's a B-ranked adventurer named Guston, right?''

Yeah, just look at that hammer on his back and that size.

 It seemed that big, burly man was a B-rank adventurer.
 They stared around, oblivious to the guild's gaze.
 I looked at Guston.

"Are you Revel?

 Guston came in front of me and said.

"And what if it is?

Then we'll laugh at you. An A-grade guy with a weak face like this. Gasp! Of course I'm stronger than you, no matter how you look at it. Hey, guys.

 Then they burst out laughing.
 It was like a party.
 By the way, it seems Guston is as big as he is big.

Hey, hey, hey! Please refrain from saying or doing that in the guild!

 Ms. Eleanor popped out of reception and warned the men.
 That's Eleanor-san.

 On the other hand, when I looked at Fea, she was trembling with fear.

''Hmm? I don't know. I don't need a rogue guild to tell me that.

A rogue guild is a guild, and there are things you can and can't say!

"Ha, I didn't say anything wrong, okay? There's no way this kind of guy can move up to the A grade this quickly.

 I see...so there are those who are unhappy with my promotion to A?
 Well, I guess so.
 I was surprised when I went to ask Lewis why, and he said.

'Revell has done enough to be promoted to an A-grade, and we promoted him to an A-grade in order to make the requirements for promotion to an S-grade more convincing.

 That's what this was about.
 Certainly this makes people wonder if there's some kind of injustice going on.

Take back what you said.

Mr. Eleanor, it's all right.

Revell: "Revell, you can go to ......

 I stand up and step in front of Guston.

'Oh, what? Are you ready to admit your injustice?

It's just a matter of demonstrating your competence.

 I manipulated my magic and used a small amount of fire magic in front of Guston to create a small explosion in a fraction of a second .

 Pow!

What?

 Guston was startled and fell on his ass.
 Laughter erupted in the guild .



 Guston and the three men behind him stared at me.

'You've just shown what you're capable of being an A-grade student, right? You'd have to have a lot of skill to create a small explosion just to startle you . Plus, the lack of chanting should indicate that you possess the 'no chanting' skill.

 When I said that, Guston immediately grinned and gave a lowly smile.

You don't know what you're capable of if you show me your skills in such a small way. If you really want to show off your skills, you're going to have to come up against us.

""Heh heh heh ......"

 Ah, I see.
 I guess the four of them wanted to fight me from the beginning.


 Not one against one, but four against one.

There's an arena at the back of the guild. Follow me.

Yeah, I'd love to do that: ......

 As we began to move into the arena.

Sounds like fun!

Fight, fight, fight!

You'll see Revel fight!

 For some reason, there was a lot of excitement in the guild.

 As proof of this, when I saw Guston and the others in the arena, there were a number of people in the audience gallery.

''Since Revell is A-rated and obviously stronger than us, a four to one ratio should be just fine, right?

 Guston said.
 "It's a crappy way of thinking that revolves around framing people.

"It's all right.

We'll use our weapons on each other. What? Revell is good at magic. If she gets hurt, she can heal herself, right?

Isn't it too silly to be okay with that?

Hmm? What is it? You're an A-grade student and you're running away?

No, I just thought it was a stupid idea. That's all right.

Heh heh, heh, heh, it's pretty cool.

 Maybe these guys are willing to kill for the worst.
 Or maybe they just want to kill you.
 And even if not, they definitely want to seriously injure you.

"Hey, you guys! That's disgusting!

Fight fair!

 The audience yells at him, but they don't seem to mind.

Okay, Revell, let's get this thing going.

 When Guston said that, the four of them pounced on him at once .

 ...... Why don't you at least listen to my reply .
