Now then, with exam finished, all I have to do is wait for the results. I went out of the exam room to meet up with Izzi and Yue.
"How'd it go, master?" Yue asks while tilting her head.
"Of course it went well, it's master after all," Izzi replies to her while pouting.
"Well… you see, about that…. I may or may not have messed up the theory section."
"Hmm? Wasn't the theory fairly easy? What do you think Izzi?"
"It certainly wasn't easy, but I wouldn't go as far to say it's difficult, besides that, wasn't the passing score ridiculously low?"
Ehhh, could it be? I'm just stupid? Wait, are they both already registered?
"By the way, are the two of you registered?"
"Ah yes, I'm a E- support mage while Izzi's an E- offensive mage."
"I see, I see." So we aren't supposed to be some overpowered SS+ party? We're in an isekai right? I mean, I'm not complaining but still. Wait, aren't E ranks relatively good? I guess? Now I just have to pray I passed, it'd be embarrassing if I don't even qualify as a F- rank…. Right?
"Well then, let's go eat, I know a good place around here! Let's go!" Yue excitedly say
"emm," me and Izzi both nod our head.
Fast forward to the next day, when I went to the adventurer's guild again to get my license, and…..
YAY!!!! I made it! As an E- rank no less, the same rank as Yue and Izzi! Well I guess since I'm planning to play a hybrid of support and offensive mage, We'd need a tank for our party!
"Congratulations!" Yue and Izzi exclaims with sparkling eyes.
"Ehehe, thanks."
"Well then, are the three of you planning to form a party?" Yuki asked from behind the counter.
"Yeah of course!" The three of us simultaneously respond
"Well then, since all of you are mages, how about finding a tank/vanguard? Coincidentally, there is a E ranked tank named Aila who's also looking for a party, what do you think?"
"Well, what do the two of you think? I ask Izzi and Yue.
"I'm fine with whatever master decides"
"same here!"
"Well then, yuki, can you help us get in contact with her?"
"Ah, she's sitting on the table over there, why don't you go meet her yourself?" Yuki says while pointing at a girl with shoulder length black hair with a silver streak, followed by emerald green eyes, wearing a turtle neck shirt with elbow length sleeves, cargo pants and boots.
Wouldn't that just make it look like I'm tryna hit on her or make a harem or something like that? Bruh I've never talked to a girl in my previous life aside from when I was streaming… but we didn't meet face to face back then… I meet Izzi and Yue are girls as well but I'm used to them since I created them so that doesn't count… .Welp, here goes nothing
"Hey…" I nervously say to Aila
"Hey"
"I'm looking for a tank in my party, you see…. And I heard from yuki that you were also looking for a party…. You interested in joining mine?"
"umu," she said while nodding her head.
And so the four of us registered as a party and decided to take a on a quest together.
"Hey yuki, are there any good quests available for us to take?"
"Let's see….. you can take quests up to E rank, but since all of you are novices, I'd personally recommend you to take basic herb collecting or goblin subjugation quests, those type of pretty simple quests."
"I see…. I'd like to take this one then:
Goblin subjugation
Rank : F+
Criteria for completion : subdue 5 goblins, collect their left ear for proof of subjugation
Reward : 40 iron coins
Deadline : 3 days"
"All right, seems fine, I'll put the quest on your name then, and you can take it on anytime within the next 3 days, do remember that if you fail to complete it by then, you'll have to pay the penalty( which is the same as the reward), which in this case would be 40 iron coins."
"All righty"
Hmm, 40 iron coins, so it wasn't that this world is crazy rich, the duke just gave us an extravagant amount of money. I'll have to make sure to tell Yue to not spend all of it later on….
