Chapter 7

When we finally arrived at E-Rantel I asked the merchant for directions to the adventurer’s guild and we politely said our goodbyes and made our way towards the guild.

Rose was mesmerised by the city and wanted to take it all in and look around, however I refused and adamantly made my way to the guild while not letting go of the agape Rose’s wrist in one hand and clutching the recommendation letter from the merchant in my other hand.

Marching through the city with a beautiful girl next me obviously attracted a lot of attention some from bad people. However I didn’t care and carried on marching while remembering the directions that the merchant had given us.

When we finally reached the adventurers guild, Rose was stunned and glancing at every person with fancy armor, swords robes etc she could see but I burst straight inside not sparing her much time to ogle at the expensive equipment.

I scanned over the room with my power scouter shortly before walking over to the desk where the receptionist was and passing over the letter. What my power scouter showed me was that the power levels could be anywhere between 50-300 except for one that was at 500 I came to the conclusion that they were adamantite rank.

When I slid the letter over to the receptionist she had a bored expression on her face presumably because there were a lot of fakers that came here with forged letters but when she opened my letter and read it she had a shocked look on her face before she bowed and said

“ Sir please excuse my rudeness I will go to get your iron adventurer badge immediately.”

“ No problem and thank you.”

I said while waving my hand before she took her leave to go and get me my iron level adventurer badge for me that would help me to show my new status in society in this new world.

With this there were a few surprised faces around the guild but most didn’t care and just went about their day while me and Rose found a table to sit at while we waited for the receptionist to come back with my badge. (I say badge but I don’t know what to call it)

When the receptionist finally came back she bowed while handing me my iron plated badge and returning to her desk. Rose had a happy and satisfied smile on her face as we walked over to the quest board.

When we got there I browsed for anything interesting, thankfully I had lessons in reading and writing from Rose in the village and again in the carriage with the help of the merchant.

While I was browsing I came across something interesting with the title of:

Goblin Extermination

This quest stated that there was a new nest of goblins in a cave which is inside a forest quite close to E-rantel so hunters can’t make a living and it would be fine if it wasn’t for the sheer number of them which was estimated anywhere from 30 to 50 under the leadership of a hobgoblin.

I took this one over to one over to the receptionist with expectation on my face.

“I’m sorry sir but this quest is a Silver rank one you cannot take it.”

“I know what rank it is, don’t worry but since I’m not going alone I’m quite confident in my ability to complete it.”

“Sir I'm sorry but I cannot allow that. “

“Ok, I understand.” I said

Which was met with a sigh of relief from the receptionist.

“However, I will take a party with me and complete it soon, if I can do that may I take the quest?”

Then a different sigh came from the receptionist, one of reluctance and frustration. This was because my letter meant that I was an esteemed guest and she would have to treat me as such.

So she was doing her best to mind her manners but what I had just asked of her was a near-impossible request. Also she probably just assumed I was the relative of some noble and that I was being arrogant while trying to live out some pipe dream of being a great adventurer.

“Ok sir if you can get a party together and get rid of the goblins in a day, you and your party can claim the reward after bringing back proof to the guild.”

“What would you like me to bring back as proof?”

“The ears of each goblin you and your partymates kill.”

“Ok, no problem, Bye!”

“Bye and good luck.” The receptionist said as she waved me and Rose out of the building.

“Where are we going to get party members from then Xen?” Rose asked me as she looked up at me with curiosity in her eyes.

“We’re not.” I said as I carried on walking unfazed.

However Rose was dumbstruck and shouted “What!?”

“Why would we need party members when you saw me defeat like 30 monsters including ogres that are a lot stronger than goblins and I didn’t even get injured, just tired.”

“Bu-” Rose tried to say before I interrupted her

“But nothing, Rose I can handle it will be fine.”

“Ok, if you say so Xen.” Rose replied reluctantly.

That night we settled at a fair priced inn closeby to the guild and decided to venture to the nest of goblins in the morning. The inn was 5 silvers a person so that was a third of our funds gone but after the quest we would be handsomely rewarded.

The next day we got up, refreshed and barged our way through the busy inn. However when I tried to get past one man and he spilled his drink and turned to me with an angry look on his face. “Who the fuck do you think you are.” The man said as he turned around.

“Sorry man, we’re just trying to get past.” I said as I motioned to go past him again.

“Oh no, a ‘Sorry’ ain’t worth shit, we’re gonna have to take this outside.” He said smirking and gesturing to the door.

“

Ugh, fine.” I said as I walked towards the door, still holding Roses’ hand (a little tighter now). The angered man and his cronies followed all laughing and smirking to each other as they did.

When we got outside Rose turned to me with a worried look on her face and her hand on my chest and said “Be careful, please.” She must have been worried because the man was very muscular and taller than me.

“If I can handle an ogre this measly guy is no problem, so don’t worry, now go stand to the side so you don’t get hurt”

“Hey kid!” The big man shouted to me.

“Yeah?” I said questioningly as Rose walked off to the sidelines.

“What do you say to a little wager?”

“Depends, what do you want?”

“Well if I win me and the boys get to spend the night in the company of your lovely girlfriend.” He said while motioning to his five yes men.

“Now this is personal.” I said with a serious look on my face. Which caused the man to get into a fighting stance, however it was to late as I had already kicked off the ground and covered the ten meters between us and raised my fist. When I punched him in the face his eyes went blank as he fell backwards, passed out, with blood squirting out of his nose.

I then turned to the five men on my right and said “Any of you brave enough?”

To which they replied “N-no sir” As they cowered in fear.

“Ok. Rose, let’s go do this quest.” I said as I turned to her with a smile on my face while blood was still dripping from my fist.

“Ok Xen.” She said as she smiled back.

Then we headed out of town and into the forest where the quest letter had told us the goblins’ nest was. However we did have to go quite deep into the forest to find the clearing that the goblins’ cave was in.

When we got there though we saw four pretty beaten up adventurers and a lot of goblins closing in on them. One of the adventurers had an iron adventurer badge hanging around his neck and he was holding a sword while stood in front of the rest of his comrades, who were on the floor and one was getting healed by the party’s healer.

“Rose take this bean, split it in half, give one half to the healer and the other to the man stood up, understood.”

“Un” Rose replied before she took the senzu bean and went to help the party.

I flared up my power to the point that the familiar white aura that the characters from the show usually use was showing. But something felt different ‘What is this power’ I thought to myself.

“System?” I called out

“Yes host.”

“Why do I feel stronger than before?”

“After that fight with the ogres and goblins host passed out because he used all of his energy, this made host receive a small zenkai boost after healing with a senzu bean.”

“Yes! So what is my current power level system?” I asked excitedly

“Hosts’ power level is [150].”

“I see. As you said a small boost, but it’s still a good one. Thank you system.”

“ No problem host.”

‘Now back to the matter at hand’ I thought to myself as I charged into the clearing and screaming.

“COME GET ME GOBLIN BITCHES.” To get their attention.

And once they did look at me I shot a devastating ‘Kamehameha’ into the crowd taking out the majority of them however there were still ten of them so I charged in head on.

I ducked under a hit from the closest one and killed it with a fist to the face. Then another came for me but I backflipped over it’s club and delivered a ‘Ki Blast’ to the side of its head. The other eight then furiously charged at me to kill me but since they came at me in a line I had a great idea.

I placed both my hands on the ground and twisted my body to kick the closest goblin in the side of the head which made it hit into the side of the next goblin’s head and then that one hit the next one and so on.

After that I thought they were finished but the last two got up and came for me albeit dazedly. So I just walked into the middle of them and delivered the killing blow to them both with an elbow to the top of their heads.

With the goblins finished off I turned to the four adventurers that were agape with Rose was sat among them happily smiling.
