"Zae! where do we head first then? we don't have any clues as to how we complete the achievements"
Kiri suddenly stops and asks Zae on their way back from the cave of origin.
They were going back to the city for the mean time but had just stopped beacause of Kiri's question
"That's true..... we don't have any lead on how to complete achievements. But if my assumptions are right we should get some clues if we submit our earlier quest to the guild."
Zae going into deep thoughts right after saying this to Kiri
"Alright we'll do as you planned then"
Kiri adds with a calm look on his face
"Lets go we can't let Noto wait forever"
Zae with a smile
"Yea lets go"
Kiri nods*
•Ekinisi city- Adventurers guild hall•
Zae and Kiri walks into the adventurer guild's hall and just as they entered they bumped into Guzo.
"Hey! watch where you're going!"
Zae as he looks angrily at Guzo
"Huh!?? you wanna fight?"
Guzo with an angry gaze at Zae grabbing his collar.
"Now... now.... don't fight in the guild hall"
A sudden girly mature voice sounds from inside the guild hall
"Heng. You wanna figh...Guild master Frena!!"
Guzo suddenly lets Zae go
Frena gives Guzo a big smile to indicate that she was not happy about what was going on inside the guild.
"Tsk ..... you're lucky today next time I see you I'll tear you to pieces"
Guzo says while grunting and sprints away
"Ummm.... Thank you so much... uhh..Guild master"
Zae turns around to look at the guild master.
"No need its my job to keep peace in my guild"
Frena says casually
"You must be the new recruits who Reva and Tias was talking about. I heard you guys are super strong.."
Frena pauses as he gazes into them with a curious look which made both Zae and Kiri uncomfortable. It was more difficult for Kiri as he harshly dislikes girls acting that way in front of him
"Eh? I thought Reva said there were three of you where is the other guy?"
Frena as she bends and look at Zae from an awkward angle.
"uhhh!! he has some business to do so he'll be joining us later"
Zae replies with an awkward face
"Ohh so that's it. Oh my, how rude of me I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Frena Euclip. I am the present guild master of the adventurers guild of Ekinisi"
Frena introduces herself after confirming that they were the people who Reva and Tias her trusted friends and guild members were talking about.
"Well dont just stand there, introduce yourself"
Frena had a very unique charm in her that made people around her obey what she tells them. Even Zae and Kiri were affected by this, though they were not into her very pretty face but the presence she gave was so domineering and full of leadership and command that they had to follow the way she wanted into to go.
"Umm... I'm Zae Crozo, nice to meet you.... ha...ha..ha"
Zae introduces hesitantly
"I'm Kiri Duori"
Kiri introduces himself as coldly as ever
"That means the guy that is not with you is Noto right? damn I was the most curious about his skills"
Frena pouts and acts like a little child who was not given what she wanted
"Ha... ha..ha you'll meet him one day don't worry too much"
Kiri says coldly
"Ehhh? why can't you be nicer to me?"
Frena with a pouting face
"Well come inside, you need to report your quest right?"
Frena adds
"Also come see me at the second floor after reporting your quest"
Frena walks away slowly towards the stairs.
"Oh okay sure"
Zae replies as he and Kiri starts walking towards the reception
.
.
"We're here to report our quest"
Zae with a smile
"Oh you're back already? Let me see your card for confirmation"
The receptionist asks
"Here"
Zae replies as he takes out his card and give sit to the receptionist followed by Kiri
"Rank C quest completed. Your rewards have been added to your inventory"
The receptionist says after seeing Zae and Kiri's cards.
"Since you completed a C rank quest you are given the option to jump from a bronze rank to a gold rank directly"
The receptionist adds
"Oh we'll trouble you then, We would like to advance also here is one of our party member's cards please advance his rank aswell"
Zae replies as he hands over Noto's card to the receptionist
"Very well, please wait a few seconds"
The receptionist starts casting a spell onto the cards.
Golden light starts being emitted by the card and the emblem on the bottom of the card changed to gold.
"We're all done, thank you for all your hard work. Here is your card and also your adventurer badges. Any adventurer who gets to the gold rank receives a badge to symbolise their ranks"
The receptionist hands out their cards aswell as three badges
"Thank you so much"
Zae receives the cards and hands Kiri his card and badge and hold on to Noto's card and badge. Zae and Kiri puts on their badges and puts their cards back into their inventory.
"Lets go see the guild master now"
Zae proposes
"You go ahead, I don't like being near her. I will go and look around the city market to see if there are any useful items. come find me at the market after that"
Kiri says with a very degenerate expression.
"Eh? you wanna throw in business matters to me? thats just being rude to me now. I know you won't change your mind so I have a request for you"
Zae says with an unhappy and straight face.
"I knew you will not let me off that easily, so what do you want?"
Kiri sighs
"Go and get the domain implier item that Reva was talking to us about. And if you see any cute girls, tell me"
Zae with a degenerate smile on his face
"I'll get the domain impliers, as for girls, do it yourself"
Kiri replies coldly as he sets off
"Hehe i was just joking, all the best finding it. And here, take my crustals too if the crystals isn't enough just in case"
Zae hands over the crystal from his inventory to Kiri.
"Ok then I'll be out, make sure you don't tell her about our skills"
Kiri waves his right hand up while going out in cool pose
"En"
Zae nods*
"Well then lets hear what the guild master has to say"
Zae starts walking towards the stairs that the guild master took previously. In a short while, Zae reached the stairs and started climbing it slowly.
Zae thinks as he gets to the second floor.
Zae sees a door right at the end of the hall way. Just as he knocks the door the door opens and Zae sees an familiar face.
"Tias?"
Zae shocked to see Tias inside the guild master's room
"Took you a while to get here, were you lost or something?"
Reva's voice comes from a corner sitting on a couch.
"Eh? you're here too?"
Zae shocked
"What? Is me being here a problem to you?"
Reva replies
"No No, i was just surprised to see both of you in the guild master's room"
Zae adds
"Well don't just stand there, I would seem like a bully if you dont come inside"
Frena smiles and invites Zae to come inside while sitting on her chair .
The room was exceptionally tidy and very well maintained it had a bookshelf full of books, a map of the country, Two couches and some chairs with a table in front of Frena's chair.
"Oh well then, I'll come in then"
Zae replies to Frena as he enters the room slowly walking towards the chair in front of Frena.
"Oh! Where is Kiri and Noto, wasn't Kiri with you awhile ago?"
Tias asks while Zae is slowly walking in.
"Well ummm..."
Zae pauses
"Snipe went to buy the domain impliers you guys were talking about and Noto has some business somewhere else so he won't be back for a while"
Zae replies with hesitance
"Oh is that right? he should have asked us to escort him to buy it"
Tias adds
"Its no problem, Kiri is quite good at finding what he wants"
Zae replies with a smile as he sits down on the chair .
"Aaaachooooo"
Kiri sneezes as he was walking around the market.
"Did I catch a cold or something?"
Kiri says to himself walking into the market
•Guild master's room•
" oh well, I guess i was worried for nothing then "
Tias adds with a smile
"So how did your quest go?"
Reva asks suddenly
Zae explains them about what happened at the village and how the villagers were banding with the bandits and were trying to cheat the adventurers. Also Zae was careful not to tell them about their skills and cave of origin since the guild master was present and also that Reva and Tias were also not very familiar to him.
"So it was a trap!! I'm sorry about that, I'll increase the vigilance for receiving quest request for now"
The guild master replies
"No wonder it evolved to a C rank quest"
Reva adds
"What do mean evolve?Didn't it just rank up because of the difficulty increasing?"
Zae asks curiously
"Oh yea I forgot you got here just a while ago. Just so you know, all the quests in this world is governed by the system and quests are evaluated according to the adventurer's level. This means..... say your level is very high and say another person with a lower level takes the same quest with a normal ranking of C. During the quest, the system will detect the adventurers strength and re-evaluate the quest to another ranking. That means the quest you took will degrade to rank D while the other person's will become rank B"
Reva explains
"Oh so that's how the quests work"
Zae replies with a serious thought in his mind
"Oh Guild master, what was it that you wanted me for?"
Zae suddenly realises and asks
"You can just call me Frena I don't actually like being called guild master. And we'll leave that for later, I heard you guys were going to get your domain"
Frena reverses a question back to Zae
"Yea, we are thinking of grinding as fast as we can"
Zae with a hesitant voice.
"Then meet me after you get your domains. I will tell you about what i was going to tell you then"
Frena replies with a smile.
"Ahh!! thats just leaves me more curious! but so be it"
Zae replies with a disappointed face.
"Why don't you get your quest now?"
Reva asks while standing up
"I think I'll wait for Kiri and take our quests together"
Zae replies
"Oh well, if thats what you wish but let me remind you. Even if you are in a party the first domain quest is a solo quest and no teammates can help you even if you're in a party formed by the system"
Reva warns Zae about the domain quests
"Thanks for the warning..... I'll be taking my leave them"
Zae stands and starts walking towards the door.
"Well then all the best.... we would like to come with you aswell but we have some emergency going on here so we'll meet up later."
Tias adds with a smile as Zae walks away
"Its OK, I understand. Tell me about it when i get back if i could be of any help to you guys."
Zae opens the door and looks at them and nods for the last time before leaving the room
"Do your best!!"
The three of them wished Zae with a smile as he leaves the room.
"I just hope he gets his domain before the enemy strikes"
Reva just as Zae left the room
"Lets just pray for now, If they come back then we should be able to hold them off."
Frena replies to Reva.
"Well now we should be leaving too. See ya Frena"
Reva starts walking towards the door too
"See you Frena"
Tias bows and starts leaving with Reva
Zae was able to hear their conversation through a skill he copied from monsters back in the outskirts of Rembark hill. It was a skill called "Extreme hearing".
Zae starts walking off to the streets with a serious face and starts heading towards the market area.
