"Why didn't the three of you just take one mission together if you can complete it this quickly? Are you trying to make the lower-ranked adventurers go poor?" Illya asked them as she held her forehead.

"I thought they reproduce quickly," Maria said.

"They do, but, they won't be exposed when they reproduce. So how will the F-ranked adventurers go find them? Unless they go into the monster's habitat and get attacked by the entire species." Illya explained to Maria.

"Oh," Maria finally understood. If all the monsters go into reproduction, they will naturally all be together. This might even cause problems amongst a B-ranked adventurer

"Sigh, well whatever. I am just going to promote you all to D-ranked adventurers so you don't make the F-ranked adventurers go poor." Illya said as she asked them for their dog tags before giving them a new one which was a different color.

"Thanks~ It's pretty dark, so we'll go home now," Maria said.

"Alright, be safe on your way home now. I don't want Sylvie nagging on me if any of you were to disappear." Illya warned them.

"We will, no worries." The three said as they left the Adventurers Guild.

…

"Fighting monsters isn't that boring. I kind of want to fight stronger opponents." Benji said as he clenched his fists.

"Stop that, I don't want to die just yet. How about you get stronger first before you drag me along." Maria said.

"I need to fight to get stronger though." Benji retorted.

"Just train at the academy, hmph." Maria snorted as she looked at Benji who was slowly becoming a battle maniac.

"That is pretty boring though, the students there don't fight for their lives. But against monsters, you have to fight for life or death. It makes you improve even faster." Benji said as he looked at Elise.

"Wouldn't you agree, Elise?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I would agree." Elise nodded her head as she walked towards the girl's dormitory leaving Maria and Benji there.

"What's wrong with her?" Benji asked Maria.

"She's probably going to find Sylvie. She had to take care of her due to a teacher." Maria replied.

"Oh, fair enough. Well, see you tomorrow I guess?" Benji said as he left to the mountains to the boy's dormitory.

"See you," Maria said as she went to the girls dormitory.

…

"Good morning Sylvie, how was your sleep?" Laura asked her when she woke up.

"Good morning okaasan. Did otousama really leave already?" Sylvie asked her.

"Yes, he did. Maybe we could try writing letters to him everyday. He might appreciate it." Laura suggested.

"Alright, I will write him a letter tonight." Sylvie nodded her head in agreement.

'Kekekekeke, don't worry sweetie. That idiot will never see you again, nor will you ever see him again. You are mine, and only mine now. No male will ever get near you ever again.' Laura thought to herself as she gave Sylvie a light smile.
