《THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP》THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP - Chapter 19 : The guild master
Advertisement
I saw something.
Well, someone. specifically Mark, Ron, Sam, and Anabel, i'm guessing that they're going to the capital too. currently, they're on a wagon, i think i'll go and say hi.
I land in the forest, and went to the direction of the road. when i reached the road, the wagon was passing by.
"Hey, Mark right?" [Henry]
"Oh! Henry! i haven't seen you since our quest." [Mark]
"Well, I've been busy." [Henry]
"So.... What are you guys doing now?" [Henry]
"Well, first we were moving to the Capital since When we arrived to Fenrig, it was destroyed." [Mark]
"Oh yeah, i was there when it happened, well during it happened. an Arch Devil attacked." [Henry]
"Really? who killed it?" [Mark]
"Catherine." [Henry]
"Catherine!? you mean Catherine Bal!?" [Anabel]
"Yeah, why?" [Henry]
"She's famous!" [Anabel]
Yeah, i could see that by the amount of groupies she has.
"I think she's in the Capital right now." [Henry]
Then they were off. not even saying goodbye. that was a bit rude. well anyways, i killed one berserker, and four ogres, that's about...160 GP. Damn, easy GP. oh, by the way, i have [Storage] now, I've been making things harder for myself. in case you don't know what [Storage] is, it's basically a small dimension where you can keep your things inside, without the hassle of the weight. that's where my shotgun is.
I flew back to Fenrig, landed near the gate, showed my ID, and i enter. i went to the guild and ignored the weird stares, and placed the spoils of my battle on the counter.
"Asila, could you Process this ear and piece of armor on the Rank D quest Bersrker ogre, and these 4 ogre ears for the rank E quest." [Henry]
"........" [Asila]
"Um.... Asila?" [Henry]
"Oh! sorry sir! i'll do it right away." [Asila]

"Thank you." [Henry]
That was weird. did i bring too much attention on myself? i don't know what i feel about that.
15 minutes later....
After a good 15 minutes, Asila came back, with an old man.
"Are you the one they call Henry Black, correct?" [Old Man]
"Ah, yes." [Henry]
"Hm... interesting...." [Old Man]
Ah, f*ck. i did. do i want attention or not? i don't know how i feel!
"Um... Mr. Henry, Here is your reward for the quest." [Asila]
"Ah, thanks." [Henry]
"And Congratulations Again, You have ranked up from D to C Rank. you have 35 GP remaining." [Asila]
"Thank you." [Henry]
"Henry." [Old Man]
"Ah, yes?" [Henry]
"Could you come with me for a second?" [Old Man]
"Ah, s-sure." [Henry]

Jes*s F*cking Ch*ist. This guy is stronger than Elgir! And he's an SS Ranker and the guild master, well, i suspected as much. I guess you can never trust stereotypes. i was led to this room, that looked like it was made for sparring. ah f*ck, m i going to fight him? I don't want to accidentally make him faint, or worse, dead.
"So.. I've heard that you ranked up three time Just today?" [John]
"Yes, that's true." [Henry]
"We suspected that you may be getting these spoils from another adventurer." [John]
"And, you think it's true?" [Henry]
"Yes." [John]
"...." [Henry]

"...." [John]
"HAHAHAHAHA!" [John]
"Huh?" [Henry]
"I'm just messing with you boy!" [John]
"Oh, hahahahaha...." [Henry]
"But i did call you here for a reason." [John]
"And what is that sir?" [Henry]
"I want to test your abilities." [John]
Ah.... knew it.
"Am i going to fight you?" [Henry]
"No, of course not! i don't want to kill you!" [John]
"So... who am i fighting?" [Henry]
"This lovely girl right here." [John]
And surprisingly, it was Elizabeth!
"Hey! Elizabeth!" [Henry]
"Henry!?" [Elizabeth]
"Good to see you again!" [Henry]
"But i was only gone for 4 chapters! i'm back too soon!" [Elizabeth]
"No you're not." [Henry]
"Plus, people were kind of annoyed that i just let you leave." [Henry]
"Who are you talking about?" [Elizabeth]
"No one." [Henry]
"Good! good! you know each other." [John]
"So... i'm suppose to fight Henry?" [Elizabeth]
"Yes." [John]
"Then i already lose." [Elizabeth]
"Alright... wait, what?" [John]
"I can't beat him. he's too strong." [Elizabeth]
"At least try again, so i would know how strong you and Henry is." [John]
"..... Fine. but don't get your hopes up about me winning." [Elizabeth]
"Okay then." [John]
"So... are we going or-" [Henry]
"SPAR!" [John]
"oh, okay." [Henry]
I do the stare for 30 seconds and move around the ring like in the movies, and then... huh? Elizabeth isn't attacking. is she waiting for me? well okay.
I walk slowly to Elizabeth, She stepped back every time i step forward, and she thrusted her sword at me. i dodged, and she did it again. and again, and again. and she's getting faster. she became stronger when i was gone. that's good. that's good...
Of course, i don't want to see the guild master to see the cheaty cheat me, so i just used the same technique as i did last time, it failed. she's becoming stronger and stronger. what's happening? i appraised her.

Jes*s Ch*ist. Where did she get [Foresight]? And [All Stats Up]? isn't that like super rare? Where did she steal it?
While i was contemplating to myself, i kept dodging her attacks. When i was done, i decided to end this. instead of the technique i used against her before, i decided to use another one i saw in a video game that was really cool. first, i used my legs to make her trip forward, then used my hands to push her down to the ground. the fight ended just like that. but she didn't faint now, that's a good sign.
When i finished, the guild master was.... i couldn't tell. he kept doing this stare, either he's focusing on the battle or, he was angry about something. i don't know.
"Well, that was surprising." [Henry]
"What do you mean?" [Elizabeth]
"Well one, you leveled up quite a bit." [Henry]
"And two, you have f*cking [Foresight]." [Henry]
"Yeah, i got it from a demon." [Elizabeth]
"Which one?" [Henry]
"A D-" [Elizabeth]
"Oy, Henry." [John]
"Ah, yes?" [Henry]
"You've been officially been promoted to S Rank." [John]
"Okay... wait, what?" [Henry]
"Well, if you'll excuse me, i have other business to attend to." [John]
Wait! stop! don't promote me just like that! at least let me earn it!
(But i don't actually stop him, because i'm actually happy. but upset at the same time.)

The Good Crash: An Oral History of the Post-Scarcity Collapse
"Don't we all feel, deep down, that we deserve the apocalypse?" APRIL, 2028—Global capitalism has collapsed. America has sealed itself off from the outside world, and inside its borders, a revolution rages.All it took was one incredible little machine. That machine turned into two, then four, then eight... like a virus, the replicators spread.As a work of oral history, The Good Crash features over 50 interviews with key witnesses to the events of 2027. The text is rendered in the words used by the interviewees themselves, with light editing for clarity and concision. As such, the book contains language and themes that are not appropriate for children.By capturing the voices to the people at the very root of the revolution, journalist and historian R. Vondersnitch has traced the origins and aftermath of the replicators' rapid spread. Crucially, the book also includes perspectives and testimony from those who attempted to stop the spread of the reps. "Some of these are heroes, too, in their own ways," the author writes in the book's introductory note.
