The Man Picked up by the Gods – Volu 3 Chapter 132: After the Match (1/2)
~Side Ryouma~
After the match ended, the way the people looked at were divided into two groups. It did not matter whether they were students or teachers.
“Ryouma! That was a great match just now!” [Gazel]
“What kind of training do you do?” [Finia]
“That was amazing! But we’re not going to lose!” [Berk]
“I’m going to start learning the bow from now on. How long do you think it’ll take for to be able to use it like you did just now?” [Student 1]
One group acknowledged my abilities and were favorable to . This included Gazel-kun’s group and Berk’s group. After the comntary ended, they called out to like this and talked to . This group was favorable to .
The other group was just watching from a distance. Sohow, it felt like they were avoiding . After Roche-san showed appreciation for the participants and dismissed everyone, the people of this group imdiately left. It was almost as if they were running away… No matter how you look at it, the reason they left has sothing to do with what happened in the matches.
“Did I do sothing bad? I feel like they’re scared of or sothing…” [Ryouma]
After answering the questions of the students, I decided to consult Roche-san about this matter.
“…Well, I think fear is a good part of it.” [Roche]
As expected. Am I really that scary?
No matter how you put it, I should definitely belong to the weak-looking category. Even Berk and the others looked down at at first.
“Unfortunately, the cat is out of the bag. Everyone knows now that you’re strong. And you might have just been trying to do your best, but you changed so much just like that. Even I thought you looked like you were lacking so humanity when you fought earlier… Perhaps this feeling is akin to what an animal feels when its natural enemy is eyeing it. Sothing like that.” [Roche]
…Even though people have stopped being scared of ever since I started looking like this.
I never thought about how I looked to others when fighting, so now I’m a little worried.
“You don’t have to worry about it so much. It was just so sudden, so I’m sure everyone was just a little shocked. Given ti, I’m sure there are so guys who will calm down too.” [Roche]
Roche-san consoled .
“…Let’s change the topic. Awhile ago, I asked you why you beca an adventurer, rember? In relation to that, what’s your goal as an adventurer?” [Roche]
I thought he just wanted to avoid the topic, but he’s talking too earnestly for sothing like that. I corrected my seating posture, then I told him that my current goal is to go to the Great Shurus Forest.
“Of all the things, that’s what you want to do?” [Roche]
After hearing out, Roche-san seed to have co to terms with sothing himself. But at the sa ti, he seed greatly perplexed. Is there a problem with my goal?
When I asked him about it, he told that he thinks the guild master wants to form a party. He’s only guessing, though. He thinks it might be why he introduced to this job in the first place.
“A party, huh? Actually, are you sure you should be telling that?” [Ryouma]
“It’s not like the guild master actually told anything. I’m just guessing. He didn’t tell not to say anything either too, so I’m just telling you what I think.
When it cos to adventurer work, the higher ranked the job gets, the more dangerous the job becos. The sa is true for the Great Forest of Shurus that you’ve set as your goal. The minimum requirent of a C Rank to go there is just the minimum requirent to work at the place. It doesn’t an that a C Ranker can actually go in there alone. That’s just suicide. Understand?” [Roche]
Roche took a fallen branch and drew two circles on the ground.
“There might be so differences with the locals or with people with a different point of view, but… Take everything I’m about to say here as how the outsiders generally see things.
First, as you enter the Great Shurus Forest, the deeper you go in, the stronger the monsters beco. If these are the Great Shurus Forest, then at most, a normal C Ranker can move in the outer part of the forest. They can only really enter a shallow portion of the forest, but once you actually step inside, B Rank and A Rank monsters will start appearing regularly. And then the center of the forest is so dangerous that it simply cannot be reclaid.
I don’t know where your hotown is, but from what you’ve told , it doesn’t seem to be in the outer part of the forest. It’s probably deeper in. As such, you won’t be able to avoid fighting a series of battles. Moreover, just as the real Great Shurus Forest is called, it’s as vast as you’d expect from a great forest. Even without any monsters, it’s not a place you can cross in just one or two days. Even if you use the stopping points and rely on your dinsion magic, it’ll still be difficult.” [Roche]
Roche-san honestly taught the dangers of going there alone.
“Honestly speaking, neither the guild master nor I have any right to stop you. I’ve said it many tis during Morning Assembly, but adventurer is an occupation wherein a person has to take responsibility for himself. So long as you’ve reached the required rank, to go or not to go is completely up to you.”
And that’s why the guild master introduced this job to and has asked Roche-san to talk to like this. But, still…
“I’m sorry, but I really can’t imagine myself partying with anyone right now.”
