Adventurer’s Guild Blaine Branch.

“Ah, Leon! “You’re here!”

Rize, who was sitting at the counter as always, welcomed him. Her attitude was so friendly that people who only knew her business-like side were shocked.

Leon said hello and approached the window.

“Did you make me wait by any chance?”

It had been exactly four days since the .

It took that much time to realize the power of Aurors and learn the basic methods of operation. According to El Cid, what he learned in four days is also very rapid progress.

This was because, thanks to baptism, all eight vital organs were opened, making it incredibly easy to control Aurors.

El Cid did not take the risk for no reason.

“I received a call from the garrison, but I was worried because he didn’t come for four days. … Oh, you feel a little different?”

Rize opened her eyes wide.

Her job is to deal with numerous adventurers here. It seems that he caught the change in his presence as he acquired aura.

Leon did not deny that.

“I learned something while subduing monsters.”

“also!”

Rize smiled brightly, happy as if it were her own work.

“There’s one more thing to celebrate.”

“One more?”

“yes!”

When he just tilted his head because he couldn’t think of anything, Rize opened the drawer as if she knew she would. The qualification screening had just finished yesterday, so the timing was right.

She placed the item she took out of the drawer in front of him.

A dull, shiny steel plaque.

Leon, who saw the iron plate, asked back with a surprised face.

“This?”

“What you think is probably right.”

The Adventurer’s Guild is divided into seven ranks.

F rank, not even given a certificate.

An E rank with only its name and seal stamped on a wooden board.

In reality, only those who possessed a D-rank copper tile were recognized as belonging to the Adventurer’s Guild. Above that, there were C ranks with iron plaques, B ranks with silver plaques, etc.

However, handing Leon the iron plate already…

“Congratulations on your promotion to C rank, Leon. “I, Rize, and the Blaine branch will continue to help as much as we can.”

“…a promotion.”

He traced the letter ‘LEON’ engraved on the iron plate and spoke in a voice that still had a trace of nervousness.

“Isn’t there a separate promotion review for C rank?”

“There was that.”

Rize also answered with a subtle expression.

“ and received very good reviews. The lord and the garrison commander both sent letters of thanks. Thanks to that, it was omitted.”

“yes? “My lord?!”

“It wasn’t handwritten, but it was sent by an administrator. “You have satisfied all of the promotion conditions to C rank.”

It was an unexpected reward.

Solving two requests and getting promoted means there will never be a case like that in any branch. Perhaps the purpose was to encourage more avoiding missions by using him as an example. The enormous amount of overachievement may also have played a role.

Still, it’s not a bad story for Leon.

As the range of requests you can take on expands, it will become easier to

[Are you stupid? Living Armor didn’t come from outer space, so why are you treating it like a monster? Do they breathe and eat? If you leave it alone, it won’t cause any harm.]

“I heard the house isn’t selling.”

[Will the world be ruined if housing prices fall? If it falls, there will be a day when it rises.]

If the landlord had heard his verbal abuse, his clothes would have exploded, but fortunately only Leon could hear that voice.

And El Cid’s explanation continued.

[Living Armor is a rare natural phenomenon. The armor is moved by the power of magic, witchcraft, or someone’s thoughts. They don’t have any ego, and the only remaining behavioral principle is ‘repel intruders.’]

“Well, then, wouldn’t this be solved with dispel?”

[It’s impossible because it wasn’t magically established. Dispel works by removing bricks or pillars from a building and collapsing it, not by destroying piles of dirt.]

So wizards are of little use.

Since well-made armor has considerable magic resistance, high-quality living armor could actually become a magician’s natural enemy. Sometimes there were magicians who tried to use Living Armor as their familiar, but the cost of failure was terrible.

Living Armor was a particularly dangerous entity in places such as ancient dungeons, and the variation in its power was extremely large.

“Well, the guy we have to deal with is nothing special.”

Leon read the request and commented briefly.

Armor made of miscellaneous iron and plated with silver.

Since it is nothing more than an ornament, not only its strength but also the completeness of the connections is low. It may take some effort to break it, but if it is a holy sword, no teeth will fall out.

[But why has it not been subjugated until now? If it had been a punishment mission, it would have been resolved a long time ago.]

“Well.”

There was a reference written at the bottom of the request form.

“The armor’s regenerative ability is abnormally high? He destroyed everything from his helmet to his gaiters, but he woke up in less than 10 minutes. “It says that they eventually retreated because their weapons couldn’t hold up.”

[Is that how much living armor is made of miscellaneous iron? It’s strange.]

“We’ll find out when we get there. Let’s just go.”

The destination is a mansion near the slums.

Leon’s steps became faster as he felt the power of the sun flowing through his body.

The eerie sound of the wind saw them off.
