The school was closing because of yesterday incident. Well, yesterday was a chaotic one. The schoolyard burned down. The east wing destroyed in pieces. An investigation had been carried out. Anyway, I went to the Adventurers office to return the uniform, this must be a mistake.

From the outside, this office looked magnificent. It was made with silvery metal or maybe a pure silver. Short, wide sun windows had been added to the building in a mostly symmetric way. It shaped like a short U.

I entered through the automatic glass door. Golden dots, White dots, Red dots filled [Mini Map]. Youngsters, student, men, woman, elder, these people wore the colorful uniform and fully armed, sword, gun, chainsaw, staff, robe, plate armor, others wore the usual clothes and didn't bring anything. Several long tables were occupied by separate groups of people, all looking serious. The other, smaller tables also occupied by people who on the contrary clearly enjoyed themselves. ....I felt restless in here.

Nervously, I lined up with several other people, one of the workers, a woman with chestnut, coily hair hanged over a full, lively face, damn... she had a hot body, she came to me and asked "Excuse, is this the first time you've been here?" I nodded at her, this time I got a clear view of her cleavage. "I see, I'm sorry but for what matters? If it is for registering please fill in the form and we will notify you after a few days. If it is for putting up a request please pick a waiting line number". The system was a little like a bank huh

"Erm... asking a question maybe?" I replied to her. "Oh, you are that kid right?" But the one answered wasn't her. I looked to where the voice came from and found the slick-haired guy. "Taking a request already?". "No, I come for this" once again I explained everything to him. He looked at me for a while and said "Sorry Joanne, I take this one from here."

Joanne nodded at him, Slick hair took me to the third floor, It was the HR&PR room, there were several other people besides me sitting on the stainless steel waiting chair. I sat next to a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes that gave a mysterious vibe, she wore a red uniform, her shoulders decorated with a metal blade, starting at the front, curving towards the back and ending in a sharp point. Her breastplate had many layers of smaller metal pieces, mimicking the scales of a dragon.

The girl noticed my stare, she turned to me and said "Hello~? Is something wrong?"

"Ah... Sorry, that is a beautiful armor you have"

"So you realize? fufu, of course, this is made from a Himmelskralle scale, you know it right? the wyvern with a body full of spears?" Said Julia with a smug face. "It is such a shame, I have a full set of this armor but they forbid me to use it unless I am on duty, anyway what kind of trouble do you get into? It is really annoying, right? coming this way only to get scolded, oops sorry, I forget to introduce myself, my name is Julia, so what is your story? Mine is because I accidentally damaging public property."... The mysterious vibe was gone when she opened her mouth.

"I'm only here to change my uniform"

"Hee~, did you get promoted? congrats!!! what rank are you right now? if you're E-rank how about doing some kind of request together? I heard recently there are mass appearances of Bear Shark, do you have any kind of information about it?" ... She was a naggy type, I only said one sentence and she answered with a hundred questions.

"Julia it's your turn" The receptionist called her. "Aw~ what a joy killer, ah!! what is your name? I didn't have a chance to ask". "Kamiya Nashi" I replied to her, Julia walked in, twenty minutes later she came out with her head dropping down, a few other people came in, each one of them only took three or five minutes, lastly it was my turn.

The receptionist called me, I followed her and saw several other people working with a mountain of documents, she took me to the room with glass door, from outside I saw Slick. I walked in, Slick told me "take a seat" and he ordered the same receptionist to bring the tea.

In front of Slick table, there was a name tag printed with 'Mori Akechi'. He held his forehead and said "that isn't a mistake, ... give it up, I can't help you with this matter, anyway congrats for being C-rank."

"Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean by that!? this isn't a mistake? like hell I can be a C-rank, I mean.. c'mon, I looked on the Internet, Hellhound is an E-rank monster!"

" *sigh* You're already registered as a C-rank, there's nothing we can do about this, well, if you don't like it just go mess up the request, then you'll be demoted. It's not like you can't take the lower ranked request, right? Anyhow don't believe everything about what the internet said, to ours, Hellhound is a D-rank monster." ...Was that fine for him to tell me that?

"Well, if you put it that way, but what about [Mission]?"

Yeah, [Mission] was the problem here, normally, an Adventurers took a request, finished it and get rewarded, but once a month, an Adventurers will be given a [Mission], usually the [Mission] was a request that never completed and thus they forcefully assigned it to someone according to their rank. As for the Guards they had [Duty] A scheduled patrol.

"Tch!" ... He clicked his tongue!? was this guy trying to trick me!?

"Listen... I'm not that great, I don't have the necessary combat [Ability], nor I have the experience and knowledge in fighting, even back then I regretted the decision I made, heck I can't even stand the sight of a gun, whatever your captain see from me, he must be wrong. Anyhow, I can assure you that I am not worthy of this rank, just give me the normal one rank, ... you know what? in fact, just kick me out from this whole of adventurer thing, I only said yes because your captain kept nagging me." It's been a while since I spoke a lot in one breath.

"I already said, nothing I can do about it, just accept your fate, we will notify you about this matter, now be a good boy and leave, I am a busy person" Akechi used the hand signal, the same receptionist came and took me out, dude... the tea wasn't even here.

I went down to the first floor, There was a ruckus, and I saw Julia surrounded by a group of people.

"Ah!!! That's my party!!!" She pointed at me, the other group of people followed her finger.

".....huh?"
