It was really the day of useless casts appearing one after another. Well, from the perspective of Straheim subdivision staff, I think I would be counted among them as well.
"You have just wedged head to head with the most troubleso person in the Straheim."
In front of my seat, holding his head in his hands, was Willy Gunman.
I had known him since I was eight years old, when I was a goblin slayer.
I thought I hadn't seen his face for a long ti, but who would have known he had beco the branch manager of Straheim.
"Hm. Don't worry about it. I will not be defeated by people of that caliber."
"Moron! Who even dares to ss with the guy who beat the Goblin Lord to his death!"
"Well, that's also true."
I was strangely convinced when it was said by Willy Gunman, who was currently filled with grief.
"Hey, Grey, I request you, please do a favor and stay quiet."
"That depends on them."
If they beca hostile, then I would not forgive them. Whoever they were, I'd smash them to pieces so they'd never rise again.
"I am not very pleased with the Breathgarn, but they are at least skillful. If they disappear from Straheim, the guild's ability to respond to ergencies will be severely diminished."
"And that's why you were tolerating their rebellion?"
"Ah, that charade."
He spat out, looking sideways at Eight.
"Charade? You guys, no way.........."
If that was a charade, then the reason the guild hadn't handled Eight's situation.......
"That's the case. Those guys are threatening the guild......"
Certainly, now that I thought about it again, there wasn't any worth acting unlawful right under the guild's nose. They wanted the guild to co forward to protect Eight and take money from him. That was about it.
"They completely act like a hoodlum. Are they really that skillful?"
"That's a good question. As a matter of fact, Breathgarn itself isn't any important organisation. The problem is the boss of those guys, Aku, who is an S-Rank adventurer. It's like this..........."
S-Rank. There were only three adventurers of this rank in the world. I see. If an S-Rank was crushed, then the power of adventurer organisations would change drastically.
Even so, he took things for granted and decided not to participate in the recent Undead incident because of Caesar's absence, which was very poorly received by the imperial governnt and the Comrce Guild.
It was a rumour but apparently, the donation from the Comrce Guild had been cut in half in the past few months.
If their war potentially decreased more than that, then it would even affect the significance of the Adventurer's Guild existence itself. It wasn't hard to understand why Willy was on edge.
"So you an to say it's like a slap to them because I have taught them a lesson before the negotiation?"
"That's right. That's why I'm asking you to please control your fighting spirit."
Willy pleaded with his not-so-handso and pathetic face.
The opponent was the family of an S-Rank adventurer. Even though Willy didn't have the slightest doubt of my victory, starting from the black-haired receptionist, the rest of the staff mbers' expressions changed into suspicion without exception.
"Let's take proper asures. So I can assu that this kid is in my protection now?"
Eight's body stiffened as the subject of himself ca up.
"If it were before, I would be reluctant to leave an up-and-coming adventure in the hands of a monster like you, but it can't be helped this ti. There's no other way."
"That's a hell of a thing to say."
"It's natural. You have a long criminal record after all."
"Hmm..."
That's a sore point I couldn't deny.
"Then, Eight, how old are you?"
"14 years old."
"Interesting. One year older than ."
In that case, maybe I should try adding him to my students. One more person wouldn't be too much of a burden for , and it might inspire Pluto and the others.
"I, I am older? But that voice?"
"Oh, this..."
When I took off the pendant around my neck, which had the function of a voice changer, my voice was instantly replaced by that of a child who had grown accustod to it.
This ti, Eight and the entire staff of the Adventurer's Guild opened their mouths.
"Then, let's do our best together."
"Yes!"
When I stretched out my right hand, he nodded with a faint voice.
The two eyes, slightly hidden behind the long bangs, swayed like a timid puppy, but he didn't look away from .
After that, I explained the situation to Willy and asked him to register the students as adventurers.
"I never expected you to beco a teacher in Magic Knight Academy. No wonder that Caesar........"
"Hmm, has Caesar returned to this empire?"
He had recently gone out on an official trip to subdue the disaster-level beast in the eastern region, but there was no contact from him yet.
"I see. So you didn't know yet....."
"Willy?"
"Ah, I'm sorry. You will et him before long."
From then on, he shut his mouth tightly. He made a subtle remark which now felt like sothing was stuck between my back teeth.
Anyway, the students had been registered as adventurers, and I'd received the cards for them. I could ask about Caesar another ti.
I left the hall of the Adventurer's Guild with Eight.
