Chapter 70
Well, as of now, in this room, there are three greats figures of Forxx city gathered together. Yuma became scared wondering what they wanted to talk with him about.
"Stop joking, you grandpa! Yuma belongs to the Adventurers Guild! He is a rare talent that only comes once in a long time! He will scale the Adventurers guild, and rise to have a prominent Status. As if I would hand him over to a bunch of magical idiots."
"Fu~, What Yuma does will not be dictated by the Adventurers Guild. He will be the one that makes his own decisions. Moreover, Yuma has talent in magic, I can see it. He might even be able to become a professor at the Magic Academy. He does not belong in a place where battle maniacs roam about all over the place."
Roenstein, who wishes to recruit me to the Magic academy, and Guren-san, who wishes for me to stay at the Adventurers guild, they were behaving as if they were kids.
While Yu was having such thoughts,
"I apologize for this Yuma-san, these two have always been like since a long time ago. It would probably be better for you to save yourself from this."
That’s when Barista-san went to resolve the issue between the two.
Thank G.o.d, this guy seems to be decent compared to them!
Is what Yu thought, when suddenly, the two who were fighting looked toward his direction.
"Yuma! What do you think!? You aren’t interested in joining the Magic Academy, right?"
"No! Think about it, you would have a better future joining the Magic Academy than being an Adventurer, it’s a lot safe for the future as well. You wouldn’t have to worry about money, safety, and you can even become a professor as well, as you earn a stable income."
Ha, it can’t be helped.
"Roenstein-san, firstly, thank you very much for inviting me to join the Magic Academy. However, I don’t have any interest in joining the Magic Academy, and I don’t seem to have any plans of joining it any time soon. I’m quite satisfied being an Adventurer for now."
Guren-san immediately stood up and started to stroke his beard when he heard what Yu said, while Roenstein’s face had become slightly dejected.
"You can just call me Albert. Also, what’s the reason that you don’t wish to join the Magic Academy?"
"Yes, Albert-san, what is the maximum age that you must be before you can enroll into the Magic Academy?"
"Hmm, according to the rules, the maximum age is 18 years for enrollment. But there doesn’t seem to be any problems regarding your age?"
"That means that I don’t possess the requirements, I’m 25 years old this year."
When Yuma said so, Albert-san and Barista-san had a surprised look on their faces. Even Guren-san looked rather surprised. Heh, did I not say how old I was previously?
However Albert-san did not seem like he was ready to Give-up.
"S-Still, what about as a Professor? Since you have magical talent you can learn and teach pretty quick and easily."
Me teaching other people magic? There is no way I could do such a thing.
From the day that I arrived in this world, there has never been a day that I have used magic by accident. I don’t even know the method that magic is activated nor the principles, and workings behind it.
"Thank you very much, but I will have to decline. Thank you very much for considering me worthy of such a thing though."
When I firmly stated my stance, Albert-san finally gave up on trying to persuade me to join.
"If you go so far as to say that, then it can’t be helped. But if you are to change your mind later on, then feel free to contact me. You are welcome to do so at any point in time."
"Understood. If there comes such a time, then I will depend on
While Yuma was thinking about such a thing, Barista-san, who seemed to have noticed what Yuma was thinking, said,
"Hmm, the initial talk seems to be completed. Then, let’s quickly move on to today’s main topic, the Great Invasion."
When Barista-san said that, the atmosphere in the room changed into that of a serious one.
And finally, the talk started, and the first to speak was Barista-san.
"Firstly, Yuma-san, thank you very much for the matter regarding the Great Invasion. Thanks to you, the Great Invasion has been prevented well enough in advance. I thank you as the City Lord."
And next up was Albert-san,
"From me then as well. If the Great Invasion was to happen, the Magic Academy would have been affected as well, I’m very grateful."
And lastly, Guren-san,
"Yuma, on behalf of the guild, and as the Guild Master, thanks a lot. It was truly a lot of help."
"N, No! As a person residing in this city, I have only done something that I was able to do. Everyone, please raise your head. Moreover, I don’t think the talk should end with just this much."
When Yuma said so, the three of them raised their heads, and Guren-san started to speak,
"It’s as you said Yuma, the matter does not end there. This time, thanks to Yuma we were able to get rid of all of the Rare cla.s.s monsters that were present in all three Forests, and this has been confirmed. But, when this was checked again, the number of monsters seemed to have risen, and somehow, only monsters in the Ogre Forest seem to have decreased."
Hmm, probably the number of monsters seemed to have decreased because, while trying to find the Orc King, several of them were hunted. Several tens of numbers of Orcs were hunted after all.
"And so, the number of monsters may be quite large, but perhaps some of them may get out of the forest and cause damage to the surrounding villages or even more. So, we need to kill the rest with the help of the guild, so we would like to request Yuma for your cooperation in this matter."
Exterminating monsters, huh. This is a good Chance, I also wanted to know how strong I was after taking care of the Cyclops. Moreover, if a large number of monsters were to be taken down, then I will be able to obtain a large amount of experience. That makes it’s obvious, i'll partic.i.p.ate!
"Guren-san, I’ll partic.i.p.ate as well. It would be quite troublesome if some villages were to be damaged. Will it be alright though? Leaving the Ogre Forest, there are c.o.c.katrice’s in the Stone forest, and Gorudo forest has monsters with an average rank of C, right?"
"Hmm, the Ogre Forest is not a problem for now. Although, the Stone Forest is a problem, but it’s somehow manageable since c.o.c.katrices are vulnerable to fire, but the problem lies with the Gordo Forest most of all."
That’s right, that’s right, Guren-san will also be partic.i.p.ating, then……..Eh, is that fine!? When I looked towards Meru-san for affirmation, it looked like she had already given up.
"Then Guren-san, I'll handle the monsters of the Gordo Forest. Since it’s quite dangerous, it's better to not let other adventurers be exposed to danger."
He, he, this way, I would be able to hog all the experience.
Moreover, I don’t wish to show my skills to others.
It will be more convenient if I were to go alone.
"Are you telling me the truth!? This would help us save quite a lot of time, but will Yuma be ok? You seem to have been continuously fighting since quite a while ago."
"I’m completely fine. Even if you were to tell me to go to the Gordo forest, I would go since it’s not a problem at all."
"That’s right, that’s right! Alright, then let’s quickly mobilize the guild at once. Gather all the partic.i.p.ants for the Cleanup Plan and start the Hunting quickly."
And Guren-san got up immediately when Barista-san said,
"Hmm, then this seems to be the end of the talk regarding the Great Invasion. Yuma-san, it would mean less no matter how many time I say it, but thank you very much. I will definitely make this up to you, but until then, goodbye for now, and thank you very much."
And then, Alberto-san said,
"It’s truly not a good idea for Yuma to remain as an adventurer after all. Well, it can’t be helped. The Magic Academy would also like to thank you very much for the work that you’ve done. Oi, that’s right! How about you marry my Granddaughter!? Although she is useless at housework, but she is definitely a beauty, so, hmm? "
M, mmhm……..a beauty huh. Shall I meet her for the moment then……..
"Oi, Grandpa! Don’t just casually decide the future husband of your Granddaughter. Also, ask for the approval of Yuma before hand!"
Hmm, it’s seems like this place will start getting noisy again.
While I was thinking so, Barista-san said,
"Yuma-san, this will take awhile, why don’t you go on ahead?"
"Th-that’s the right thing to do."
While fighting with words, Albert-san and Guren-san left the room with Meru-san reprimanding the two. Meru-san, don’t mind.
And then, Barista-san,
"Let’s meet again next time, Yuma-san."
Yuma shakes hands with Barista, and both of them shared a laugh.
"Oh, lastly, Yuma-san, my Daughter can do housework too, and she is also quite the beauty, and a lots more. If there is an opportunity for you to meet sometime, I would like to introduce you to her, please do look after her then."
Is what Barista-san said before he left.
Hmm, it seems that it will be quite troublesome from now on since I have met the two of them.
Well, the talk about the Great Invasion seems to be over. I suppose I will be heading over to the Gordo Forest since that will be the place to take care of. I will be looking forward to fighting anything similar in strength to that of the cyclops.
While thinking so, Yuma left the guild and headed toward Gordo Forest.
