Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 10: Chapter 12: Johann, the B-Rank Adventurer (1/3)

Yo. Im Johann, an adventurer.

My dad was also an adventurer like me. I helped Dad in his work, and going with that flow, I also became an adventurer eventually till I became what I am today.

Ive been diligently doing commissions and am also blessed with great comrades, and before I knew it, I managed to rise to B-rank.

Glendales adventurer guild is huge compared to those in the other kingdoms.

To think that Im one of the top brass adventurers there..

I, the guy who already belongs to the veterans club, am a family man, too, with a wife and two sons.

Well, I thought I was winning in life.

My most recent job was to take care of some juniors.

I need to beat the basics into the rookies, thats my job,

There are times when I receive commissions to hunt monsters, but I no longer go to places that were as dangerous as before.

Im already past my prime, and I have my family, after all.

By the way, the Guild is paying me for training the rookies. If they become excellent adventurers, its possible that they will become the Guilds cash cows.

Im getting paid a hefty sum, so this is way better than having to go out and hunt monsters.

Its fun, and safe to boot.

For that reason, I did training for the rookies and also stood as their proctors during the advancement examination.

I dont cut corners when I accept a commission request, of course.

If the rookies face danger during the drills and exams, I put my life on the line to protect them, and I also scold them earnestly if they fool around

Death awaits those who underestimate monsters.

There were also some guys who quit because of the harsh training.

Thats a good thing for me, though.

An adventurers job requires him to put his life on the line, after all.

Its been a while since I was commissioned to be a proctor in an advancement examination.

It was an F-to-E rank advancement exam.

To be specific, the commission was to be the proctor of Halt and his comrades theyre recent recruits in their advancement examination.

I also know about Halt and the others quite well.

They are rookies, and yet they take the initiative to take on commissions like cleaning the underground canals jobs that normal rookies tend to avoid.

Aside from that, they would normally accept missions in 5 parties, so they have a total of 20 people, more or less. Those are the reasons why theyre the hot topic in the Guild.

Not only that, there are many gorgeous beauties among their members, so I thought they would cause trouble sooner or later.

There were a lot of cases when rookies flaunted being accompanied by beauties, trampling on the pride of their senior adventurers.

Basically, I dont meddle with the troubles that happen outside the guild, but I often interfere if a quarrel breaks out within the Guild.

I expected Halts party to be that way, too.

However, strangely enough, the adventurers around them didnt harass Halts parties.

I dont know why, but even I didnt have any urge to talk to the women following him.

They are beauties alright when viewed from afar, but when they approach, I lost all desire to call out to them.

I wonder why?

Well, I have my own wife, so it doesnt matter.

Alright, Halt and his comrades will take the advancement exam tomorrow.

Originally, goblins are captured for the exam, and the adventurers will be evaluated based on whether they can slay the goblin, and whether they coordinate well with their teammates, but apparently, these guys already destroyed a herd of goblins.

Besides, they took care of several commissions that other rookies wont even tough, so the receptionist ladies view them favorably.

Most of the commissions that rookies avoid pay poorly in exchange of getting many guild points.

By the way, its more convenient to the Guild if the adventurers who preferred gaining guild points instead of getting paid.

With all of these conditions, the Guild Master directly gave the order that Halts team be given an easy (slime) exam.

I did think that having slime for an exam was going too easy on them, but I also thought its a great idea to just have them rise in rank without taking the exam.

Thats because the vibe Im getting from them is different from the ordinary adventurers; they are probably way stronger.

This is just a gut feeling of mine, butI probably wont win against Halt. Even if theres a hundred me, its still impossible.

Well, thats just a gut feeling.

Forget what I said just now.

Anyway, I went all the way to the mountain near the Royal Capital to search for slimes, when I discovered 5 jiggling slimes, as if screaming capture me.

Halts team will be taking the exam with 5 parties. One party, one slimeYup, looks great.

These slimes already noticed me, but they didnt move, nor did they attempt to escape.

Slimes are monsters that arent easy to read what theyre thinking, but there are also rare instances like this, when everything was confusing.

Normally, I would charge to the monsters, weaken them before sealing them to the scrolls, but

...is this for real?

I sealed the 5 slimes, and none of them put up a fight.

I already know that there are monsters who allow themselves to be tamed without any resistance, but I never heard of any monster that can be sealed into the scroll without receiving any damage.

Unlike Tames that require agreement between the contractor and the slave, theres no merit in sealing the monsters into the scrolls.

Moreover, these slimes seemed to have entered the scrolls voluntarily as can be

Nah, thats impossible, no matter what.

Well, its great that I finished my work earlier than expected.

I want to hurry up and go home to see my sons faces.

I retrieved the scroll that contained the slimes, and headed home, back to where my family is waiting.
