After acquiring the herbs Vance and his party began to head back to the guild to turn in their first quest. Upon reaching the guild they walked towards the desk and realized it was the same receptionist from before.
"Oh so you guys finished your first quest? So fast?"
"Yep. And just to make sure, it is a repeating quest correct? So I can just give as many of the herbs as I want to rank right?"
"Well to complete the quest it takes five herbs. And you can redo the quest as many times as you want. However it would take quite a bit of time to do so."
"Ah well, I have enough herbs to complete the quest many times over. So do I just put them here or where?"
"Yeah you can put them here. I mean how many can you have anyway."
After hearing the receptionist say that Vance began to lay herb after herb down on the counter. After the 50th herb the receptionist began to appear shocked.
"How the HELL did you get so many herbs so fast you MANIAC!?!?"
"I mean it wasn't really too hard. I could get more easily right now."
"HOW!?!?"
"Secret."
As Vance continued to put down the herbs the receptionist had an expression of shock on her face. And she seemed like she didn't know what to do.
"Um, Master I think you should stop putting herbs there."
"Mr. Vance I think you're scaring her."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
As he finished that statement he looked at the receptionist and realized that the look on her face was one of intense shock, and then he stopped pulling out herbs and looked at her.
"Um, are you okay?"
"H-h-how did you get so much?"
"Consider it a special power of mine I guess. Well I can stop for now. Do you need help counting it towards our rank-up?"
"U-u-uh, we have special counters to determine the number but at least for now I can almost certainly say you're at least ranked up to E Rank. So I guess for now I can say: Congratulations on your rank up."
"Thank you. Is there any benefits that come with it?"
"Well now you have access to more support from the guild and more quests to do. After all E Rank is basically the adventurers true starting point. So there aren't many benefits to hitting it. Well there are other benefits that you can get at later ranks."
"Well I guess that's fair enough. For now I guess we'll go take another quest while you guys count our herbs. C'mon girls, help me pick the next quest."
Vance and his party then headed towards the quest notice board and began to pick out the next quest for them to complete.
