036. Awakening (2)

“Instructor! Get the bread!”

A necklace crafted with thin gold that Iriel left on her hand.

And a jewel that emits a reddish light embedded in the middle.

If it’s this size and this amount,

It was equivalent to all the magic stones given by Prince 1.

Such a beautifully crafted magic stone suddenly came into my hands,

Zeke could not accept and like it straight away.

I was more embarrassed than grateful.

‘What is this?’

I know that Iriel and his body are connected in some way in the past.

But no matter how deep my relationship was

This is only the third time Zeke has met her.

At the first meeting, he told me to get out of the face,

Even yesterday, the second meeting, I didn’t remember that he treated me well or showed me goodwill.

And the third today. sudden gift.

Iriel’s side should know that her body has changed from the past.

But this was unexpected.

‘You’re giving me something like this in that situation? suddenly?’

It was so colloquial.

Sieg needs about 20 more magic stones.

In this world, magic stones were too expensive for even Serena to buy.

It was to the point where the 1st prince also put on a puzzled expression when he asked for the magic stone.

‘I figured out in advance that I needed magic stones.’

That means that every move was being watched.

A woman who came in when there was only one student missing.

Maybe he knew in advance that I would be visiting this place.

The fact that she is so friendly with the common people, just for bread.

According to what I’ve heard from Serena, it was an awkward behavior.

As expected, I was reluctant to reveal the fact that she had no memory.

At that time, through the eyes of the judgment, she confirmed that there was no malice towards her.

Someone around Iriel could have driven the situation this way.

The back of the head was oddly itchy.

‘I’ve been paying quite a bit of attention to surveillance in case you don’t know, but who is it… … . If I roll Iriel, I wonder if I can get the answer.’

With a promise to roll Iriel, Zeke

He carefully inspected the necklace in his hand.

‘I don’t see any trace of magic. It’s just an ordinary magic stone. First… … . I write this because I gave it to you.’

You can use various technologies more comfortably than before by simply installing a filter.

It should be easy to dig her back.

I didn’t know if I could get caught later on, but

Zeke made up his mind to use this magic stone.

‘Then I guess I just need to get 10 more. It’s made things much easier.’

“Instructor!?”

“Ah, sorry. Is that the bread I asked for?”

“yes! Here you go!”

Zeke accepted the freshly made baguette.

The blackened surface seemed to be quite hard when hunting monsters.

And when I held it in my hand, I felt the usual beating.

‘That’s great. This… … .’

Soy Spoon stuck out his chest and said.

“This is what I call it, baguette bread with the crust on the outside! The air layer doesn’t get in very well, so as long as the outside doesn’t crack, the inside will stay moist!”

“Can I eat this too?”

“Absolutely! However, when eating, it is recommended that the peel part melt in the mouth for a long time before eating. It came out a little tighter than I thought. Mocha will go in and it will taste good.”

“Thank you. I will make good use of it. Anyway, how long did Iriel stay?”

“Uh, um… … . It wasn’t long before the instructor came right away.”

Also.

Zeke nodded.

“And what happened to those bastards before? The moneylenders.”

“Oh, I haven’t seen them lately. As you said before, I decided to pay the interest.”

‘They can clean up next week on their day off.’

* * *

Zeke carried the bread behind him and visited a large building on the outskirts of the islands.

It is an agency for those who make it their business to exterminate monsters.

It was an adventurer’s union.

There were countless people in and out of lightly armed attire.

They settled down at round tables, drinking beers and talking loudly in their drunkenness.

A lively atmosphere ensued.

“Hey, I heard you robbed some goblins yesterday.”

“It was dog hair. Nothing came out, so don’t ask.”

“Ah, but I robbed one of the villages.”

“Please, I wouldn’t have a wish even if I only saw one piece of magic stone.”

Zeke looked around and found a place to receive the request.

In one corner of the space, I saw a woman stacking papers and smiling brightly.

“ah! welcome! It’s the first time I’ve seen you.”

“Yes, I want to hunt monsters.”

“note. Is your name registered with the union by any chance?”

“Can you check it?”

This body might have registered its name with the adventurer’s guild before.

“What is your name?”

“Zeke Kleiman.”

“Um, there is no registered name. Would you like to register again?”

Zeke nodded.

The receptionist asked about Zeke’s personal information.

At first, I didn’t believe that Zeke was the swordsmanship instructor at Ramiel Academy.

When he showed the academy seal, he made a surprised face.

“If you are an academy instructor, you must be of noble status… … . Do you want to use the combination?”

“Well.”

If you are an aristocrat who uses a normal sword, you do not go through a separate combination

Belonging to the knights of each family, he carried out the advanced quests that came in individually.

Because it was much cleaner and more profitable that way, and I didn’t have to go through the cumbersome process.

However, Zeke did not even know where he belonged to.

In his personal information recorded at the academy by a guy called Backbae, only one word was written, ‘nobleman’.

‘They say they’re much stronger than regular adventurers because they’ve been systematically trained… … . The system sucks.’

To be honest, in Zeke’s eyes, all the guys and knights here were there.

“Yeah. You are registered. By the way, what request do you want?”

“How many can I get?”

“Uh, um… … . You have not yet registered as a new member and do not have a rank. So, there are only three low-grade quests… … .”

The guide scratched his cheek as if embarrassed.

What Zeke needed now wasn’t a request for a lot of money.

Of course, strong monsters have a high probability of getting magic stones, but we have to collect 10 magic stones as quickly as possible.

‘Only three. It’s probably because it doesn’t have a rank, so I can’t get a decent request.’

Considering incidental things like the time to travel here and there, it was much more efficient to compete with quantity rather than quality.

Zeke wondered if he could get information here.

Apparently, an act of invading the territory of other adventurers.

Because it didn’t sound like a very good story for them to hear.

I borrowed a quill and paper from the guide, wrote it down, and held it out.

[Then, how about just buying information without receiving a request?]

“… … Yeah?”

Looking at what Zeke had written on the paper, the guide asked back.

[You said it was difficult to get a proper request because you don’t have a rank right now. If so, what will happen if I pay money to buy the location of the monster or the request form?]

“uh… … . Now, hold on!”

She said in a flustered voice and left the place for a while.

Zeke held the paper in his hand and burned it with mana.

Not long after the guide left, the head of the association walked down from the second floor.

He continued to wipe the sweat with a handkerchief, giving a generous impression.

‘Is this boy really an instructor at Ramieli Academy?’

He opened his little eyes sharply.

‘If you wanted to hunt monsters, you would have to accept a request from the Knights, but you dared to come as an Adventurer’s Guild… … .’

The head of the union suspected that the reason why he came out to hunt monsters as an aristocrat was because of his lack of skills.

He smiled softly.

“I heard that you are a nobleman.”

“yes.”

“Can you prove that you are nobility?”

Zeke frowned.

“Do I even have to prove that?”

“hahahaha. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Sometimes there are impersonators, so it’s all basically a verification process.”

He smiles nonchalantly, but his eyes remain the same.

‘Does he keep touching me softly?’

First go through once.

Zeke sneakily showed the seal of Ramielli Academy Instructor on his chest.

The head of the union carefully examined the seal.

It was genuine.

But, it’s like a sense of camaraderie between the poor.

‘It could have been stolen… … . No, even if it was stolen, it makes no sense to show it like this. So, is it the son of an aristocrat who was put into power?’

First of all, the head of the union decided to call Zeke separately and make a deal.

In any case, it must have been an opportunity to make a lot of money.

“Has confirmed. stir… … . I’m going to tell you about a suggestion from a moment ago. Would you like to go upstairs for a second? Oh, please leave all your armaments here.”

The head of the union glanced at the club attached to Zeke’s back.

“Armed? Are you talking about this?”

Zeke took out the bread from his back. A savory smell as if the outside was slightly burnt.

The union leader twitched his nose.

“This is… it’s bread.”

Zeke nodded.

“Bread with a handle…? Hmmm, is it a snack? Well, take that and go in.”

“yes.”

Because there were so many strange people among the people who were looking for the Adventurer’s Guild,

he passed it unnoticed.

He climbed the stairs and led Zeke into an enclosed room.

Zeke looked around the room.

The head of the union seemed to use this room whenever he made a secret deal like this.

‘This bastard did something interesting.’

Zeke found a suspicious device in a part of the wall, but

I turned my gaze to him pretending not to know.

“I’m really sorry to have you in such a shabby place, but I had to do it because it’s a bit sensitive. You can rest assured that this place doesn’t leak outside.”

“yes.”

The head of the union said:

To begin with, it was possible to purchase information personally without going through mediation.

However, this is an afterthought

When this was known, the person who had been carrying out minor quests to raise the rank

That he could incur the resentment of other adventurers.

“You won’t be able to receive the reward there. The reward for the completed request is taken from the Guild.”

“Right.”

“And you must tell us about the completed and unsolved quests. That way we can avoid double quests as well.”

Resolve the order as requested

Collect the settlement reward paid by the client from the union

Since he even received money as an information fee, the head of the association had no reason to refuse.

Even if Zeke failed, it was enough to make another request.

“price is?”

“One gold coin per quest.”

‘Ha, did you really decide to hit it? It is possible to hit the price in the back transaction, but… … . Doesn’t have any strength, so it seems that he trusts other adventurers like crazy?’

Laughter came out.

‘Or do you think I’m weak?’

Sieg glared at the union leader with cold eyes.

“Do not be greedy in moderation.”

“Yeah?”

“I take the request fee separately, and the information fee is more expensive than the request fee. Since I am an academy instructor, I can’t even reveal this kind of behind-the-scenes transaction……”

Since I’m young, I look down on even the most insignificant things.

“Do you think you have a weakness?”

“!”

Zeke glared at the union leader and put pressure on him.

The head of the union trembled like an aspen tree trembled at the sudden heavy energy.

“Information fee. That’s good. I’ll pay for that. Then, if I solve the request with the information I bought here, can the rank be raised?”

He didn’t know that in the future, he might have to hunt monsters for reasons such as supply and demand for magic stones or training.

It was a specification to go through such a cumbersome process every time.

“Yes, you need performance to raise your rank! This is a secret deal, so I can’t count on performance!”

Although the head of the union was trembling, he did not give up his interests until the end.

Zeke quickly reached out and squeezed his thick neck.

Kwak!

“Ouch!”

He even lifted it straight up.

“Gagging! Fucking!”

The head of the union grabbed Zeke’s arm with a blushing face and tried to release it, but

I couldn’t shake off his arms like hardened iron.

‘What is this! Doesn’t interest come back!’

Zeke lightly relaxed his hand and asked.

“Why is it so hard?”

“Kkeuk. That, that’s…! Gagging!”

“If it’s hard, tell me it’s hard. I’ll make you feel comfortable.”

Let the power enter Zeke’s grasp again.

He really felt that death was drawing near.

The head of the union nodded hastily.

“A rank! If you solve all the cases, we guarantee an A rank!!”

Took.

Zeke released the neck he was holding on to.

dump.

“Hoo-wook. Whoo-wook.”

The head of the union rubbed his neck and exhaled a heavy breath.

Zeke leaves him alone

I headed for a corner of the wall I had seen since I first entered.

He took out a baguette from his back, applied magic lightly, and drew a picture on the wall.

Kugu Palace!

Then, as Zeke drew, the wall was torn apart.

It contained a white marble and a wad of paper.

Zeke took marbles and papers.

‘Hmm, is this a crystal ball? Is it a recording?’

“I like to set up a failsafe. It’s like a secret ledger, let me take it.”

“That’s it!”

The union leader’s eyes trembled violently as he fell to the floor.

“If you don’t play tricks behind your back, we will be able to be partners in the future. Now show me the request.”
