Lamijion, Adventurer's Guild.
At this quiet ti of night, one of the rooms at the top of the adventurer's guild still remained lit.
Inside the room, a young girl dressed like a military advisor sat diligently working at a desk.
The girl was exquisitely beautiful, and although she wore glasses, they did not conceal her outstanding features. On the contrary, they added an intellectual and literary quality to her, making her the kind of person who would surely beco an internet sensation as the most beautiful professor if on Earth.
At the very least, her poised deanor gave the impression that one would hesitate to defy her and might even seek her advice.
That is, until the sound of knocking interrupted the atmosphere.
"Co in."
Without lifting her head, the girl continued her work while speaking.
Instantly, the door opened, and soone slowly walked in.
"You're still working, Riley."
The one who spoke in such a gentle tone was another young girl of the sa age.
The girl walked in slowly from outside, her face exposed to the light matching her gentle and understanding voice, looking like a kind-hearted lady, captivating in her deanor.
However, such a gentle and kind-hearted beautiful girl was clad in an incredibly heavy suit of heavy armor, enveloping her entire graceful figure.
In this situation, the girl carried a giant tower shield on her back, with a slender knight sword at her waist, looking very much like a female general ready to lead troops, a stark contrast to her gentle and kind exterior.
As a result of this, her footsteps carried a tallic sound, allowing one to imagine the weight of all that equipnt.
The young girl addressed as Riley lifted her head to look at the other, a touch of helplessness appearing on her intellectual and composed face.
"I say, Vivian, haven't you given up on that suit of armor yet?"
The tone of helplessness indicated that Riley must have ntioned this to her many tis before.
The girl—Vivian's expression remained gentle and kind.
"I won't give it up," Vivian responded warmly, as if tirelessly, "I've said it many tis, I hope to beco a knight who shelters and protects my companions from all malice and harm, so I don't want to give up this armor and shield no matter what."
Vivian's tone was very obedient, but the content had nothing to do with obedience.
And as a longti friend of Vivian, Riley naturally knew she could only complain a couple of tis; persuading her was impossible.
Even...
"This really doesn't suit you at all."
Riley sighed helplessly.
"That's not true."
Vivian replied with a cheerful smile.
The two seed to have a very good relationship, chatting for a long ti before finally getting to the main topic.
"Sorry, Vivian, I need your help with sothing."
Riley handed Vivian a piece of parchnt.
"This is...?"
Vivian took it with so curiosity.
"This is a report submitted by a staff mber at the guild today." Riley tapped the surface of her desk, saying, "Apparently, a peculiar newcor arrived today, and the staff didn't know how to arrange him, so they passed it directly to ."
"A newcor?" Vivian showed so interest. After roughly skimming the report, she was taken aback and said, "A twenty-year-old at Level 10 with not a single skill?"
"What do you think?" Riley asked aningfully, "Quite a few adventurers witnessed the newcor's displayed status on the Magic Tester. The story seems to have spread, and even the Magic Tester used at the ti was checked and confird to be malfunction-free, so it should be true."
"Really?" Vivian said sincerely, "That is indeed peculiar."
"You think so too, right?" Riley picked up a quill, pointing to the parchnt recording the newcor's adventurer information, "If he had no talent or ability, that'd be one thing. But being able to reach Level 10 indicates there's so combat potential. It's strange that he can't learn a single skill. What do you think it could be?"
Upon hearing this, Vivian pondered seriously for a mont before raising three fingers.
"Three possibilities co to mind first."
"Firstly, the newcor went down the wrong path; he's got leveling potential but hasn't learned the skills he's good at, continuously striving in the wrong direction. For example, he might have the talent of a mage but practiced swordsmanship he's not suited for, causing his level to grow while not mastering any skills."
"Secondly, the newcor might have experienced sothing in the past, like a severe illness or other events that hindered growth and training. It's only recently that he began to grow, naturally reaching Level 10 as his talents erged, but not in ti to learn skills."
"Thirdly..."
Here, Vivian spoke thoughtfully.
"Perhaps this newcor possesses a unique or special skill, leading to this situation."
The three possibilities Vivian ntioned aligned perfectly with the assumptions in Riley's mind.
Yet neither of them considered the possibility that the newcor was not skillless, but the Magic Tester failed to detect those skills.
That's because no one would believe a twenty-year-old newcor adventurer could have a skill above Level 7.
Usually, skills at that level are unlikely to be attained before Level 70, unless soone refrains from learning other skills and pours all skill points into one skill. Then it's possible to push that skill to Level 7 by Level 30, but typically, it's almost impossible to reach Level 30 by training only one skill for solo combat.
In this world, except for special cases, people usually learn several skills at once, forming mature combat abilities that participate in battles and boost their level faster.
In other words, generally, people train several skills simultaneously, such that by reaching Level 7 in one skill, their level would naturally already be quite high.
For this newcor at Level 10, it's impossible to have a skill above Level 7, and historically, there has not been a case of soone at Level 10 with a Level 7 skill, not even among the Divine Race or Demon Clan.
Thus, that possibility was naturally overlooked by Riley and Vivian.
Nevertheless, the newcor's oddities were enough to pique others' interest.
"Regardless of the possibility, he deserves a good observation, right?"
Riley's statent finally made Vivian smile wryly.
Because Vivian had guessed why Riley had called her here.
"You're planning to shove the newcor into my adventurer team again, aren't you?"
Vivian called out Riley's intentions directly.
"As expected of Vivian, you guessed right away."
Riley chuckled lightly.
