The Return of the Ir Chapter 225: Tuition (3)

Chapter 225: Tuition (3)

The Hunter's Guild "Sherpa," an outsourced dispatcher of hunters and guides for monster hunting.

This guild was not known for its rcenaries, but it was known for having many guides who were familiar with the ecology and geography of monsters.

These guides, all of whom were native to the area for at least three generations, knew the ins and outs of where rare monsters lurked and sward.

Not to ntion they know all the shortcuts and stealthy escape routes.

However, with only a few classes available to send out, such as guides and porters, guilds have always been at a disadvantage.

This is because they're often treated unfairly, with no credit for their work and reduced pay at the end of the quest.

However.

The presence of the Sherpa Guild's leader has been a constant source of support for the guild's mbers, even in these difficult tis.

kkigigigig-

The guild gates opened.

The guild mbers who were practicing in the training center looked back at the front door of the guild office and shouted in unison.

"The Guild Leader is coming to work!"

"Attention! Salute!"

"Good morning!"

A man who commanded the respect of all the guild mbers.

He stood at least 2 ters tall and 30 centiters wide, and weighed close to 180 kilograms.

A tightly cropped sporting haircut, scars running horizontally and vertically across his face, heavy armor-like muscles covering his entire body, and even the martial arts skills on the graduator.

The na of this man, who looks like a huge beast of prey, is 'Miniature Pinscher', also known as 'Minpin'!

How many people could punch out labor costs based on his appearance?

As long as Minpin reigns supre as Guild Leader, the Sherpa Guild will continue to survive, as he is both terrifying in appearance and terrifying in skill.

He's even known to be relentless when it cos to training his guild mbers, as he's a strict ritocrat.

"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle!"

Minpin's thunderous words made the guildsn in the barracks stiffen once more.

It was all thanks to him that the Sherpa Guild's porters and guides were ard with the physical and ntal strength of steel.

What's more, Minpin's rank was Graduator. He could be a mber of any of the top rcenary guilds.

Even the Imperial Army was sending scouts to train him as an officer.

But Minifin had rejected all of these offers.

'I love hunting. Fighting monsters is my calling.'

These were Minpin's beliefs.

There was a small part of him that hoped to one day join the Baskervilles on the Western Front, but that was out of the question, as they wouldn't be the first to send him a scouting offer.

So Minpin's main goal is to preserve and protect his current guild.

"And to do that, I need to keep my employers in check."

Minpin walked into his office and scanned through the new requests.

"Let's see, this is a request for a courier from another rcenary guild. They want to capture a Venompion for research... but they have too few people. If we get involved, the couriers will die. Dismissed. Is this a request for directions to a rchant? Hmm, but the rcenaries escorting them are too underpowered. We may lose them. Dismiss this one...."

We do not accept requests from strangers.

I've weeded out nearly 90% of their requests.

Minpin clicked his tongue.

" ... I wonder how many of them will be alive next year."

There were too many who didn't know their place and wanted to slay powerful monsters.

Attaching porters or guides to such creatures would almost always result in their annihilation.

"They are weaker and slower to escape, so they are the first to be used as shields in a crisis, and we cannot afford to lose mbers of our own guild."

So Minpin interviewed and thoroughly weeded out weak or reckless clients.

Only clients with a rcenary plaque or rcenary credentials, or who have served in the military, are accepted, and those with lesser credentials are rejected, no matter how insignificant.

... This is exactly what happened.

"What, an academy student, even a first year?"

Minpin reviewed the last request in front of him.

A newcor to the Academy had requested to hire a guide.
