Chapter 297 - The Exploration Quest (2/2)

She also seemed to leave little to no openings whatsoever, if one were to try to attack her, the guild-master would probably feel bad for them. And lastly, the look in her eyes. Fearless scarlet eyes.

Her build was also rather small but that was good for agility. After the inspection, he deemed that daggers were probably her specialty.

”Me too.” Said The Bright Sword as he stepped forward.

Everyone in the room knew the bright sword, impenetrable defense and overwhelming offense, a knight with a build which wasn't too big nor small. When it came to a strong balanced powerful, yet durable build. He stood second to none in the whole room.

”If the village is facing danger, than even I won't stand down. It's an important place to me, after all.” Said The Bright Sword with a smile

The guild master also seemed content with this. They were two very strong members, there was no way he would refuse such an offer. He nodded, but something worried him, they didn't have a magician or healer, and if it turned into an encounter in which they couldn't escape, it was fundamental. However, a B-Rank healer wouldn't cut it.

”Are there any others?” The guild master asked expectantly

For a moment, there was nothing but quiet, but just as he was about to lose hope. A lady with a witch hat, stepped forward.

She seemed rather young but seemed to have a fully developed body, she wore a strange magic cloak which seamed to have been enchanted with fire magic, making it work just as a regular fur robe.

Long smooth hair which seemed to be a mixture of both purple in the base and pink at the edges, along with apparently glowing pink eyes and a pink pipe sticking out from her pink lips. A beauty who everyone recognized. Another A-Rank adventurer, a well-known magician at that.

It's said that she's nearly all of the requirements to become an S-Rank in terms of quests completed but she's only missing one more, and that is to be able to complete an S-Rank quest or beat an S-Rank in a duel.

”This is exactly, what I'll need to reach it. You need a magician don't you? I'm in”

Of course she wouldn't miss an opportunity such as this, she was a very talented magician Able to use three elements. Fire, wind, earth along with the holy element. The guild-master felt much More reassured having her there.

”Whoa… A party of A-Rankers with the guild-master, and these ones who are well on their way to becoming S-Rank, there's no doubt that this is the strongest party in the village right now…”

”Now even a dragon won't be a threat to us!!”

”Yeah!! The Dragon has got nothing on them, the guild master was even an S-Rank before he retired, what's a dragon going to do?”

The tension slowed dispersed as optimism began to cloud the room. However, all that optimism quickly disappeared as the guild master said

”No. There's a Reason why a Dragon is SS and not A-Rank, like the wyvern. A dragon isn't just a regular monster or creature. It's a legendary creature. It's lived for centuries, has more knowledge than anyone can imagine. It can use magic and even I've never gone up against one before. There's also little information on them as they're intelligent.” Said the guild-master

He spoke seriously, he wasn't trying to scare anyone or make the quest seem more dangerous than it actually was, he was just speaking from his heart and trying to warn them.

”Even with the four of us, I doubt we'd even be able to severely wound it. I can handle a Wyvern solo, but a dragon… It's on a completely different level.” Said The Guild-Master with a hint of fear in his words.

The adventurers were all speechless, and the A-Rankers chose to remain quiet. They too had heard many stories about dragons destroying villages and cities.

Just as the guild-master was going to break the silence with his next words, someone suddenly walked into the guild.

”Guild… Guild… This is the guild right…?” He asked himself as he took a look inside

'The smell of beer and wine in the air, the wooden tables, broken glass and the worn out quest boards which always somehow seem to be made out of bad quality… Yep, there's no mistaking it, it's the guild!' He thought to himself happily

”I had to sleep outside of the village while searching for my card… Now I'm finally back!” He said so as tears of joys slowly flowed down his eyes

He then felt the tension in the air, before noticing that everyone's attention was on him.

”Eh? Did I come at a bad time…? And what's with everyone standing around that guy?'

It was hexo, and in that moment, him entering at that particular moment, managed to disrupt the tension which had filled the air.
