Chapter 023

There were lots of books being sold by Collet . Books about jobs and their classification, informations about monsters, dungeons and skills . He bought all of them .

“Yu-san, I didn’t think a rookie would buy books about skills and dungeons, please don’t be careless . ”

Collet was looking at Yu, clearly impressed .

” It was just to gather some knowledge . If rookies don’t do this, they will simply die . ”

” Ridiculous . If a rookie got overconfident because they didn’t know their own power . . most of them experience something painful . ”

While chatting, Collet also helped Yu with selling monster materials . While another one took Nina to change jobs .

” You have a lot of rank 2 monster materials . Are you sure you’re not going to use your guild card? ”

I was reluctant to give her the Guild card . Afterall, they may see my status . I felt uneasy about that . I definitely won’t use the guild card .

” Even when you’re only selling monster materials, you will still get points like for doing quests . ”

I gave her the guild card while keeping a watch on her .

” Yu-san, this is your guild card . You’ve been promoted to F rank . ”

” Eh? I ranked up from G just from selling materials? ”

” The amount of materials sold is even higher than what F rank adventurers usually manage to sell . ”

(and it wouldn’t be strange to become an E rank adventurer either . . ) [Collet]

The money received amounted to 3 gold and 8 half-silvers .

” Collet, you even treat a child like me with respect . Thank you . ”

Yu thanked Coller for the first time . If only he met her when he arrived in this world .

” That’s stupid . I’m just doing my job as a Guild official . If there’s something you need in the future, please feel free to contact me . ”

Yu put the money inside the pouch he got from Lena . Then he heard a loud voice .

” You guys . . . ”

” What? You are a good for nothing old man . ”

” Don’t say that, I’m only 28 years old . ”

” What? You’re going to tell me to do a quest like finding a missing cat? ”

All this time I kept some of my status hidden because anyone could suddenly cast [Analysis] on me .

” If you want to talk then let’s not do it here . ”

” You don’t have to worry, I’m just here to tell you that to hunt monsters one needs to try to find their attack patterns . ”

It was Lalit and he was giving me advice . It seems like he was a D rank and with a little bit more effort he would be able to reach rank C . He may be good natured but his way of speaking makes the mood bad .

” What’s with the noise? And where is the new rookie? ”

Behind Lalit, a 2m tall man who reeks of alcohol stood there . He was so big, was he a half-giant? I was tempted to see his status . Lalit stats were high but this man was in another dimension altogether .

“ It’s . . You… ”

” Lalit, bullying another rookie? ”

” Did you want something from me uncle? ”

” Why uncle? I’m still only 34 years old”

“ Well . . ” Lalit and me said that in harmony .

” Did this rookie do something that offended you? ” even Lalit spoke respectfully, this uncle may be famous .

” I just heard that there was an excellent rookie and wanted to have a spar with him to check him out . ”

(Yu: It’s funny, given our difference in levels)

” Lalit, was it? If you do something to him, I’ll kill you . ” Joseph said that with a smile that did not reach his eyes . Lalit froze on the spot .

” Why? You are stronger . . . Why this rookie? ”

… . .

In the back of the Comer guild hall, was a training field . Usually there were lots of adventurers but it was empty today . Because Joseph began beating everyone .

” Use this . . And try not to die . ”

Yu received a Habiki sword from Joseph and tried to cut him .

” Oh . . I hope you could start getting serious . If not, this isn’t going to be interesting . Anyway, your strength is around 300 . . No, 400?”

Yu swung down with both of his hands but his swing was stopped with a single hand of Joseph . He was also smiling . Yu tried to move back to take some distance from him .

“Die! [Sword Strike]! ”

” Disturb Attack . ”

However, Joseph prevented Yu’s attack through attacking a dozen times at once . It was however a strange thrust that Joseph didn’t anticipate .

(Joseph: the turbulence thrust didn’t work? It was a sword technique of lvl 2 . It should have stopped the [Sword Strike] . )

” Old man, let’s end this . ”

Yu was barely holding on because of the status gap . He then used [Body Enhance] .

” That skill? Who taught you that? Adventures usually do that to enhance their sword attack . . More importantly, without chanting? ”

Joseph was surprised because Yu’s [Body Enhance] covered his entire body .

” This is a skill that I created on my own! ”

” Square Slash . ”

Left, right, up, and down, it was a sword technique that blew away Yu’s sword .

(Joseph: This rookie’s [Swordmanship] is at least at a mastered level 3 . Haha . . )

Joseph was not serious at first but he was getting increasingly immersed the more he found Yu interesting .

Nina was already there . She was taken there by Lalit .

…

When the old man blew Yu backwards, my head felt blank .

” [Critical Strike]! ”

Nina jumped at Joseph while unleashing [Silent Step], [Stealth], [Body Enhance], topped with [Dagger Strike] .

“Miss? Do you know this boy? ” Joseph dodged with the use of his sword and a [Dark Magic] Decoy . In that moment when daggers clashed with each other, the sound of clashing metal was emitted .

(Joseph : Even this miss used a skill without chanting)

Nina received a rebound because she overused her magic . She collapsed on the spot .

“Nina . . ”

Although Lena wanted to join the fray, the level of this fight was just too high .

” Fiuh . . At least I don’t have to worry about the sleeping beauty . ”

“… You dare…”

“What did you say, boy? ”

” I’ll kill you! ”

Yu was surrounded by a dozen of fireballs floating in the air . His eyes were clouded and were only directed at Joseph .
