A Discussion About the Future

「Heya Fran Congrats on winning third」

「Mmph」

「Kukuku I’ you realized I didn’t quite mean that as just a compliment?」

Dias began congratulating Fran in a teasing tone the moment we entered his rooh her and knew exactly how she felt

「…Because lost to Amanda」

「You know, a nored to get themselves all the way up to third place」

The Guilded He was only saying what he was because he knew Fran wasn’t the type to suddenly start boasting about hoell she did

He did have a point though Co out an A ranker wasn’t so that could normally be accoh with it justified getting full of oneself

「Also can’t beat Beast Lord」

「Well, his case is a bit special Not even I would be able to so ainst him」

「Will win someday」

「The fact that you’re saying that like you seriously 」

The thing was that Fran really did seriously h to one day beat the Beast Lord down

That said, she’d have to first get strong enough to beat down Aht against an S ranker

「To be honest, I tried getting you proet approved」

「Even though just became C ranker?」

『Aren’t you pushi+ng for things to happen a bit too quickly?』

「I e to take down an A ranker You’re way e C ranker should be when it coht」

『Yeah, I guess you’re right But if that’s the case, why didn’t it end up working out?』

Dias’ th it battle clearlyat least one requirement that didn’t relate to it

「There are actually quite a few probleuildmasters」

「Other Guildmasters?」

「Yeah, I used a ic item to speak with a few of them」

The biggest problee

「There were a good nu on and on about how there wasn’t any precedent for what I was trying to do I hate dealing with people like the them all out in due time」

『Yeah uh, you have fun with that』

Dias ured it’d probably be best for us to stay out of

「Soe just how good so based on their performance in a controlled environment like a tournament」

「Understood」

I had to adument Dias presented to us was a solid one The tourney had rules and restrictions in place It didn’t really serve to prove the full extent of one’s skill, nor did it even co the many types of situations you’d find yourself in while out adventuring

One’s caliber as an adventurer needed to be ht You also had to take into account one’s knowledge of ic beasts, one’s ability to detect and disarm traps, one’s ability to stay calm, and one’s ability to think outside the box

Of course, combat proas indeed still thesomeone that’d beaten an A ranker a B ranker honestly shouldn’t have been a problem

「Th

en there’s also the speed at which you’re rising through the ranks They’re worried people’ll start co preferential treat」

The third point was yet another one I couldn’t argue against Fran had only ed to rank herself all the way up to C because Dias had basically pulled out the nepotism card

「Another issue they brought up was your lack of experience as a leader」

「Want explanation」

「B ranked adventurers are expected to act as commander in times of crisis They’re supposed to lead other adventurers should they ever find theic beast stahts ic beasts, just to name a few」

『Yeah, that doesn’t exactly sound like so Fran could pull off』

「Nn Can’t Too bothersome」

「That’s what I thought, hence why it was one of the few points I acknowledged as reasonable」

Fran’s personality more or lessthe lines of co an army

「The last point ainst your case was that you didn’t quite see that B rankers have to deal with the requests the guild gets from the nobility」

「Really?」

「Kinda, yeah Under normal circumstances, adventurers can pick and choose the requests they feel like taking Sohly influential locals, others, from royalty Requests like those are ones we can’t refuse, and so, we assign them to adventurers we know are competent and likely to complete them」
