Chapter 68

When I arrived at the meeting place, there were nearly fifty students and what seemed to be their guardians gathered there.

"There are quite a lot of people."

"It seems they recruited from several schools."

"I see."

Indeed, it would be more efficient to do it all at once.

As I was thinking this, someone from the Adventurer's Guild raised their voice.

"Those participating in this practical session, please come over here so we can confirm your names! When you do, if you have guardians with you, just show us your name and level on your status screen!"

"Hmm."

Caught off guard by these words, I let out a sound.

Thinking about it, it made sense that they couldn't let non-adventurers enter the dungeon.

However, there was a bit of a problem for me.

I couldn't just show my status, which was over 5000 levels.

So,

"Come on, big brother, let's go."

"Wait a moment."

"? Sure, I guess..."

I used the skill [Conceal] to quickly rewrite my level.

I thought 800 or so would be fine, but then I reconsidered when I looked at Hana.

The reason being, I hadn't told her that my Dungeon Teleportation had awakened, so she still believed I lacked talent as an adventurer.

Moreover, she knew that I had only just managed to challenge D-Rank dungeons a month or two ago.

If she found out that my level had risen by hundreds in such a short time, she might start to have doubts.

While I do think I should tell Hana the truth, it's probably better not to do so in a place with so many people.

With that in mind, I decided to rewrite my level to just over 200.

This should be within an acceptable range.

"Alright, let's go."

"What was that just now..."

With my preparations complete, I headed to the Adventurer's Guild with Hana, who was still puzzled.

The man, who looked to be in his late thirties, immediately responded.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Katakiri from the Adventurer's Guild Promotion Department. May I have your name?"

"My name is Hana Amane, nice to meet you. And this is..."

"My brother, Rิน Amane. I'm here as a guardian today."

"Ah, I see. May I see your status screen?"

"Sure."

I showed him the status screen with the concealed level, and Katakiri quickly finished his check.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Since this is an E-Rank dungeon and you have 200 levels, there shouldn't be any worries. Besides, if anything happens, I'm over 6000 levels, so you can rest assured."

"That's very reassuring, thank you."

"Also, I'm not the only one from the Adventurer's Guild participating this time. Hey, Yanagi."

When Katakiri called out, a young man nearby responded.

"Y-Yes, what is it?"

"Well, I thought I'd introduce you. This is Yanagi, a new employee who graduated from university this year. He's an excellent talent, over 5000 levels. He'll be joining us in the dungeon this time."

Yanagi, who gave off a slightly timid impression, bowed to us.

"I'm Yanagi. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

I naturally shook the hand Yanagi extended.

Indeed, his level was high, and he seemed to be well-trained.

"Hmm."

Suddenly, Yanagi made a sound as if he was examining something.

"Is something wrong?"

"N-No! It's nothing, everything's fine!"

Yanagi, looking flustered, let go of my hand.

I was a bit curious about his intention, but it wasn't worth pressing the issue.

With that thought, I turned my gaze away from him.

A few minutes later.

With everyone who was participating gathered, we entered the Jufuku Dungeon.

"Dungeon Teleportation"

Of course, while pretending to go through the gate, I used Dungeon Teleportation.
