Chapter 26: Adventurer Rank

　

Now that he was going to King’s Landing, Tauro was busier than usual.

He had to make 10 limited edition boards and at the same time, he was thinking about whether he could do an E-rank quest since he had been promoted.

Receiving quests is part of his daily routine, but for now he’s been using his time by collecting herbs, which is quick and efficient.

“I can’t wait to finish the limited edition work and do the E rank quests before going to King’s Landing.”

Tauro thought as he chipped away at the wood.

In the evening, a large group of adventurers came to report their quests, and Tauro ran around to help the guild staff.

This was one of the specialties of the Saïsi branch of the Adventurers’ Guild.

However, there was one adventurer who was uncomfortable with this scene.

He was an adventurer who had recently arrived from another town.

“I can’t believe there are kids wandering around the guild in this rural branch. It’s an eyesore!”

“I saw him doing a quest a while ago. When did the guild start babysitting kids? I don’t understand the common sense of the countryside!”

The two stranger adventurers were talking loudly so that Tauro could hear them.

Tauro was a sensible person and he wasn’t surprised because he has been getting bad feelings from them towards him for some time.

That’s what he had imagined.

They were probably part of the “poor quality E rank adventurers” that Branch Chief Leo had mentioned.

Looking at their tags, he immediately recognized them as E rank because their tags were made of copper.

If Tauro, who was helping the staff from a distance, could hear it, it meant that the other adventurers could hear it too.

The local adventurers were not only annoyed by Tauro’s slander, but also by the “country-side branch” comment.

However, no one among the adventurers was offended by this level of bad language.

It’s just an everyday occurrence.

The E rank adventurer got carried away.

“It’s tough when kids like this underestimate us, isn’t it?”

The E rank adventurer seemed to have gotten carried away.

“You guys are the ones who underestimate us the most!”

This was the moment when the voices of the local adventurers in the lobby became one.

“I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but Satou, the ‘kid’ as you call him, is an accomplished adventurer. He’s an E rank adventurer just like you.”

The leader of the hastily-formed C-ranked team, the Blue Guardians, spoke on behalf of everyone.

This adventurer was the leader of the hastily constructed team that had been given a potion by Tauro during an emergency quest.

“A kid is an adventurer and is the same E-rank as us? It’s not even funny as a joke.”

Perhaps they thought it was a joke, but the E rank adventurers laughed out loud.

The ranks of the adventurers were roughly as follows

G rank: Amateur

F rank: novice

E rank: Average

D rank – skilled

C rank -> Strong

B Rank-> First Class

A Rank -> Super First Class

S rank -> Legendary

These were the rankings.

The fact that ten-year-old Tauro was treated as a Normal Adventurer might have sounded like a bad joke to those who didn’t know him.

“But it’s true. I don’t know what kind of place you were in before, but the quality of adventurers here is better than anywhere else. The head of the branch and the martial arts instructor are former A-rank adventurers, and under their tutelage, even the ‘kids’ become stronger than you.”

The local adventurers were excited by the scathing reply of Roy, the leader of Blue Guardian.

“Haha, if Roy said it, then I feel sorry for you guys!”

“That’s right!”

“Yes, yes, we have good quality!”

As the lobby became enveloped in a sense of unity, the two E-rank adventurers couldn’t stay there anymore and hurriedly left the guild.

Leo, the branch manager, and Daz, the instructor, were former A-rank!?

Tauro was more surprised by those words than Roy’s help. 

The day after this minor trouble in the guild lobby, the two E-rank adventurers left the city.

Although they look thick-skinned, they seemed to be sensitive to their own shame.
