Volu 13 Chapter 7
“S-Stop it, please!”
“Get away from Luna ow!!”
rdie threw a punch towards the blond adventurer who kabe-donned Luna.
“Oopsie. Hey, that’s dangerous.”
rdie restrained her speed, so that guy calmly dodged her attack.
“What a wild girl you are, suddenly punching like that. That’s why adventurers — Ah? What the, you’re a beastkin?”
“Yeah, ow. Got a problem with that?”
“Nah, not really. It’s just that I don’t like dealing with rabid beastkin adventurers.”
“rdie isn’t rabid! She’s a really good person!”
Luna and rdie ca with Halt and the others to the Adventurers’ Guild in the Royal Capital. Both of them entered first to go to the restroom, but this blonde man intercepted them.
“Luna, you don’t have to concern yourself with scum like this guy.”
rdie pulled Luna’s hand and attempted to leave.
“I don’t have anything to do with a beastkin like you. But, that blue-haired girl is a different story.”
The guy stood as if blocking Luna’s way.
“You’re the adventurers’ set to take the advancent exam today, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right but… What does that have to do with you?”
“If you keep company for a bit, I can definitely make you pass.”
“What?”
“And if you refuse, you absolutely won’t get promoted to C-rank.”
“No way that’ll happen! Why the heck are you the one deciding that, ow.”
“That’s sothing I can decide, yup. You pass or fail, that all depends on .”
“W-What do you an?”
Luna and rdie didn’t get what the man was saying so confidently, but they felt a bit uneasy.
“I’m in charge of conducting the advancent exam this ti. Unless I say you pass, you will never be promoted.”
This blonde guy was no other than Gad, the captain of the 12th squad of the Royal Knights. He was the proctor in charge of the C-rank advancent exam of Halt and the others this ti.
“I decided just now that we're going to have a 1v1 battle. You won’t pass unless I acknowledge your strength.”
Gad smirked lecherously.
“My exam’s quite hard, alright?”
In the past, he also failed so of the adventurers who took his exam. He was in a bad mood because all of them had been males.
The adventurers who were defeated by Gad had been beaten beyond recovery, instilling deep fear into them. They all left as if trying to escape from Glendale.
“If you blue-haired gal agrees to play with , then I’ll even let that beastkin pass. Everything depends on my whim, got it?”
Gad planned to fail them if Luna rejected him. rdie felt relieved when she heard what Gad said.
“So, I just have to fight against you one on one and win, ow? That’s a piece of cake, then.”
All she needed to do was beat the pulp out of this scum guy and force him to acknowledge her win.
“Hey you. You seem a bit strong, but… Your level is just one single flaming knight, ow. You won’t win against anyone from Ernol at that rate, ow.”
“What!?”
Gad snapped at rdie’s words.
He didn’t know what nonsense about flaming knights she was spouting, but he knew full well that he was being underestimated.
He directed his bloodlust towards rdie in a pique of fury.
That bloodlust was so fierce that previously, adventurers who managed to climb to D-rank quaked in their boots while standing rooted to the spot. rdie received that and —
“Let’s go, Luna ow.”
“Y-Yes… Then, please excuse us.”
rdie and Luna remained calm.
Luna lightly bobbed her head towards Gad when rdie pulled her, and they left that spot right after.
“Huh?”
Gad was dumbfounded.
If the adventurers could defeat D-rank monsters on their own, they were considered to have a bit of ability, and those who take the exam for C-rank advancent were of that level.
Luna and rdie didn’t budge one bit, even though when he unleashed a fierce bloodlust that was enough to deter strong adventurers.
When it cos to won, Gad isn’t the type of guy who easily gives up when his advances are refused. He was that sort of person, but he didn’t go after the two of them. He must’ve thought that it would be better not to do that now.
“Tsk. What’s up with them… Oh well, it’s fine.”
Disregarding Luna, Gad planned to beat rdie black and blue during the advancent exam.
“That beastkin hates losing, it seems. I’ll definitely make her regret looking down on without knowing the gap between us.”
Gad smirked when he imagined rdie pleading for forgiveness in tears as he made his way toward the exam venue.

“Ah. Luna, rdie. Thank goodness…”
Halt’s intuition told him that sothing bad was about to happen, so he was looking for Luna and rdie. He felt relieved when he saw them erge from the inner part of the guild.
“Halt, actually —”
“Luna got harassed!”
“...What?”
Luna was about to tell Halt that they might have left a bad impression on Gad, the supposed proctor of the exam.
However, rdie didn’t care a bit about that.
“Is that true, Luna?”
“A-Ahm…”
“Yup, it’s true, ow. The guy who harassed her said that he’s the one in charge of our advancent exam, ow.”
“That’s what it seems. Sorry, Halt.”
“Why are you apologizing, Luna?”
“That’s… I, I rejected his advances, so he might fail us.”
“That scum who harassed Luna said that, ow. He coerced Luna, ow.”
rdie was totally convinced that if she said that, Halt would get mad at them.
And she did hit the bull’s eye with that thought.
“I see. First, Luna, thanks for rejecting him.”
Halt pulled Luna closer to him and gently caressed her head.
“H-Halt…”
Even if there were no other people around them, they were still in a public place, so Luna blushed hard when Halt suddenly embraced her. She was embarrassed, but she also felt happy.
“By the way, that scum told us that the exam will be a 1v1 battle, and we just have to win that, ow. That guy’s probably the level of one flaming knight, ow.”
“In that case, everyone will win. But.. I don’t like letting Luna fight against a guy like that on her own.”
He put so strength into the arm encircling Luna.
“Alright! I’ll be the first one to take the exam, then.”
Halt started to consider that it’ll be fine should worse co to worst and they flunk the test. Even if they failed this ti, they could always just do their best next ti.
Rather than being troubled, it made him happy that his wife rejected the scum.
He couldn’t forgive the guy who made Luna feel guilty.
“Maybe I should make him regret a bit for trying to ss with my Ernol family.”
