" Welcome back, Adger "
Adger
" hmm let's get the to point.. tell me about ex... oh yea Russhel also will be taking exam with me is that fine ? "
Russhel was lying on ground.. he was half conscious

Adger said as he slapping Russhel's both cheeks
Shila
" Is that fine ???? " isn't slapping bit too much ?
Adger
" yea, don't worry " it's totally fine, he been through much more worse ( referring to torture )
Russhel
" HEY ! don't go slapping people out of nowhere " it's your fault for dragging me here
Russhel finally came to his sense
Adger
" aha.. well umm shila.. would mind telling us about exam "
Shila
" yes about that i don't think it is possible for both you take exam at same date and same exam "
Russhel
" yea Adger.. now can i leave ? " i didn't even agreed to come with you and take S Rank Exam
Adger
" huh ? why is that ? is there some rules to prevent us from participating in same exam ? "
Shila
" Adger, i am not sure about that, wait i will ask guild master "
And shila went to guild master
Meanwhile, Adger and Russhel were waiting
Russhel
" Adger, i don't wanna join s rank exam "
Adger - yea i realised that.... fufufu
Adger
" are you that scared ? "
Adger - what i am even asking.. of course he is scared of exam
Russhel replied to Adger while he slowly looked down, there was sad expression on his face
" no, it's not like i am scared "
Adger - hmm replying with such face.. must be related to his past,
Adger
" Russhel, i am not interested in your past, nor i am a shoulder for you to cry on.. you are already part of Gun Slider.. even through you have yet to agree on it but still you are.. at least for me -follow me blindly as part of gun slider and i promise you that you will never ever grief "
Russhel - huh ? Gun Slider ? what is even talking about !
Russhel
"Adger, What are even trying to say ? "
Adger - ha.. I am embarrassed now, he doesn't know anything about me.. i was trying to look cool by saying somethung cool
Adger
" he.....eh.. hee.. yo..u...wi..l s..oon. know "
Adger, he was trying to control.... Himself
Russhel - what the heck ? is wrong with him
Shila came back from guild master's office
Shila
" Guild Master allowed it.. you both will take exam "
Russhel - no way.. he allowed me to take S rank exam
Adger - good good
Adger
" now, let's hear about this exam "
Shila
" Well about exam.. there are various type of S rank exam in this world and every single of them is categorised. about your exam it is really simple to explain, you need to survive in dead forest for 15 days without help from outside... but you are two guys so, days are increased and you have to survive there for 30 days, a month.. that's all if you came back from dead forest alive after 30 days you be ranked s rank adventure but if you didn't make it out alive or came back before 30 days you will be destined as a rank adventure and will never able to take s rank exam again "
Russhel - there is no way we'll make it.. dead forest is called dead forest for a reas..
Russhel
" Hey Adger, This is impossib.... !"
Russhel looked at Adger, Adger's face was pale
Russhel - i should've known this is too much even for adger...
Adger - no.. way.. 30 days in dead forest... i can't do that
Shila
" oh forget tell you something Adger, Sir David sent a message for ' Adger, ride will be late.. might take a month ' that's what was written in message, even through i don't understand what he meant but... " and why would he sent message to you ? weird as ever
Adger - a month ? hehehe perfect timing shila, thank you !
Russhel - heh ? what the heck ? why is suddenly giving off vibe of ****
Adger - i was worried for nothing, it will take a month for albert to arrive here...
Adger
" Got it shila.. thank you for delivering message.. you saved me today "
Russhel
" Hey are we going to do it or not ? "
Adger - inpatient as ever
Adger
" Yes we will do it.. but isn't this sound too easy ? "
Adger - indeed i heard about this name before somewhere,, but i can't seems to remember it
Russhel
" what are you saying ? she is talking about dead forest ! a forest where living beings doesn't even exist, no one knows why ! and no one came back from that forest alive even Inn's owner The Former S rank adventurer almost lost his life there.. and when someone asked him how he survived he just said ' i don't know ' "
Adger
" huh ? he don't know how is that even possible ? did you lose his memories or something ? "
Shila
" no, he did not lose he memories.. when someone enter dead forest they just vanish.. there must be some high level demonic beings "
Adger - Level ?
Adger
" Hey shila what is this level you talking about ? you never said anything about it before "
Russhel
" seriously adger ? " of all things you are concerned about levels ?
Adger
" shut up... this i... "
Shila
" it is related to s rank adventurers, we will tell about it once you become S Rank Adventurer "
Adger - it all comes down to s rank huh ?
Adger
" When we can head to this dead forest ? "
Shila
" Well you exam will start tomorrow, you should rest today and head there tomorrow.. by the way you can cancel your exam until tomorrow but after that if you cancelled your exam it will be counted as failure "
Adger
"Got it....let's go Russhel "
Russhel - damn it do I have to ?
Adger
" Hey Russhel are you coming or not ? You know what will happen if you didn't come "
Russhel - you gotta be kidding me now he is even threating me... Well it's not like i was doing anything exciting but since he came, it all been nothing but fear sadness and excitement.. soz maybe it's for good, even if die in dead forest... Nermina will be safe in guild master's protection
Russhel
" Yea... I am coming.."
And they both towards Inn
Shila, she smiled at them, but that smile was nothing more than.....
Adger
" I am hungry "
Russhel
" Huh ? Hungry ? Do you even have money ?
Adger
"Naa, I am totally broke..hehe"
Russhel - this guy.....
Russhel
" Okay I will do favor and treat you for today but In return I want you to promise me something "
Adger
" Huh ? Okay what it is ? "
Russhel
" If I die alone in forest of dead.. promise me that you will obey a single order from guild master.. that's all "
Adger looked at Russhel cold eyes
Russhel
" Don't worry.. if it is something like kill yourself you break promise "
Adger
" Hmm you won't die there, so need to make such promise "
Russhel
"..."
Adger - come on dude... You are such wussy mussy
Adger
" Okay I promise "
Russhel - thank you adger
And Russhel treated Adger with expensive meal... And that meal was actually much more better than anything he had before
In Adger Room, he came back to his room.. and Russhel went out for buying necessary things for trip to Dead forest
Adger - well it's his last wish...Russhel I hope your death will come painlessly hahahaha
