Chapter 24: The adventurer’s summit
“Uhm, compensation is not needed. Since it was Naomi-sama’s disciple, we should’ve taken this case into consideration. It’s carelessness on our side.”
Silvy bowed her head down after saying that.
“Yeah, but still we did a terrible thing. For me their magical power was nothing too big of a deal but I forgot that for the rest of the world it was too strong.”
“That’s because Naomi-sama is just too strong. It wouldn’t have happened like this if only we were more careful about not being able to measure with a normal tool.”
While saying that Silvy was making a annoyed face.
She was feeling regret due to me being too much out of the norm.
I was being bitter towards my power.
“As I thought going easy is the most difficult thing.”
I was muttering such
“Despite Master’s overwhelming power I still cannot imagine it being a hard task for you. Because it’s Master that is why you can control it like this.”
“That’s right. It’s like a dragon walking around with having the ant in mind.”
“You’re basically something like a god mingling with humans~. It cannot be helped if there are some problems~. Despite this Shii thinks Masatsugu-san has plenty of control~. Probably, even a god wouldn’t have the level of control like Masatsugu-san~.”
The girls said that one after another.
Fuu, I was comforted by the girls that I should’ve protect.
Well, even without wanting to I already became the strongest so I can’t do anything but regret, huh?
Because of this ability, I have became the top adventurer even without desiring, but I think this might be fate so I’ll have to study further for control of this power.
Sigh, so it’s true that talent sometimes hurts people.
Now, let’s just leave that.
“Now, I cannot take the magical power measurement exam. Are there other exams?”
I asked her and she half-heartedly nodded her head.
What’s wrong?
“Nothing, truthfully speaking the practical exam is left. But the instructors already said there will be no need for it.”
“Fuumu, is that so?”
Well, it’s understandable. It would be honorable to fight me but it would be nothing other than reckless.
It seems those instructors have strong sensing skills.
They are a bit noteworthy.
“Then, how about they fight these 3 that I trained”
I pointed towards the girls
“No, no! Fighting Naomi-sama disciples is terrifying! No, I wanted to say that it is no problem!”
So Silvy was shaking her head in confusion.
Certainly, even despite having 1/100 of my power, they are still the top of humanity due to my training and from my skill divine protection.
I also understand, that the instructors have nothing to teach.
Besides we have a preference to spar between each other.
Too strong will be the cause for loneliness.
Fuu, because of my fault the girls will be alone and will taste a portion of loneliness. It’s really inexcusable.
The loneliness for becoming too strong should only be me.
“But, isn’t there any other exams? As I thought I want to be properly examined so that I can become an adventurer.”
“Yeah, there are… Then next is the knowledge exam, I think? It’s more of common sense questions…”
Common questions? This may be good. I’m from a different world, so I’m ignorant of this world.
I’m already the strongest existence so taking an exam about power is meaningless, but taking an knowledge exam might be worth it.
“But as I thought it’s not an exam for Naomi-sama to receive it. It’s like do not steal other people’s stuff, Yes or No it’s mostly that stuff.”
“Fuumu, naturally that is…”
I got depressed
“Ah, that’s right, there is the advanced level questions, something like number calculation is that okay?”
“Calculation hmm, it’s not my speciality but is it okay?’
“Is that so? *heh*, okay, here is the question. How much is 11×99? The time limit is…”
“It’s 1089.”
“Eh!?”
Hm, did I get it wrong? Yeah, but no matter how much I think it is 1089.
“Am, amazing…”
Hm? You can hear a word amazing… I think it’s my imagination.
“Then Naomi-sama, how much is 1438×1155? This is a difficult one so the time limit is 3 minutes…”
“It’s 1660890.”
“Wha!?”
Silvy was surprised by me when I was answering instantly. Just like earlier, what’s wrong in here?
“Naomi-sama, could you perhaps be a genius?”
“He?”
“Master is awesome! You are able to solve such difficult calculations!”
“Not just being strong, but also being smart, Masatsugu-sama is like a perfect human!”
“The words *Funbu Ryoudou” exist solely for Masatsugu-san.” (TN note: It means accomplished in accomplished in both the literary and military arts)?
The girls were praising me.
Yup, even the time when I was on earth, I was able to do calculations and math came naturally to me.
“It’s not that big for a deal.”
On my words Silvy was shaking furiously.
“Preposterous! I also can do calculations, but to do it that fast is impossible. It’s my first time seeing somebody with mathematical abilities like Masatsugu-sama. Could you perhaps have mental arithmetic skills?”
“Ah, I don’t have any.”
“Impossible, then how were you able to solve that calculation that fast!?”
“Hmm, how do I put it… Simply I just make a formula in my head and solve it.”
Silvy was once again surprised.
“Amazing… As far as my knowledge concerns, somebody with the calculation abilities as Masatsugu-sama is a first. Whatsoever you have no skills which is unheard of. I think your intelligence alone can move the financial aspects of this country. That’s right, how about becoming a guild executive? I’ll ask my father personally!”
What, all of a sudden she is head-hunting me.
I understand her feeling of hoarding a person with talent such as me.
Her actions were so quick I don’t understand her.
Unfortunately for her I have the noble mission of managing the orphanage.
The adventurer guild will be left to Dolan and Silvy to manage.
When I said that, Silvy withdrew from this conversion with regretful expression.
But, her eyes were unconvinced and said she’ll come in near future to head-hunt again.
Sigh, People that are attracted to talent are annoying.
I want to quietly manage the orphanage like a ordinary person.
“Well, it’s fine. Anyway, this should be proof enough of me passing the current exam.”
On my words Silvy was taken back then corrected her seating posture.
“Yeah, of course. I’ve confirmed with my eyes that you are excellent in martial and literary arts. Here, please take this.”
Silvy handed out us 4 cards.
“What is this?”
I asked Silvy for an explanation.
“These are adventurer cards. It records the adventurers rank and the monsters that have been subjugated. First are Naomi-sama’s disciples, Lucia-san, Elin-san and Shii-san you’ve all been awarded the title of S-class adventurers.”
On this the surrounding adventurers were making quite a stir.
“Amazing! S-class appears once every 10 years or so it is said yet Masatsugu’s disciples all 3 of them are S-class!”
“Aah. But I can agree to it. It’s his disciples after all.”
“They are too amazing. In just one day all of the caster’s in the adventurer guild were quickly surpassed. This will be left in the history as the guild’s biggest event.”
“I cannot reach Master at all but I became a S-class!”
“But, there’s a big different with Masatsugu-sama, how did I get S-class?”
“Elin-chan shouldn’t mind it at all. If we go with Masatsugu-san’s standard, then all ranks would have no meanings at all.”
“That’s right. Ehehe~”
“Cough. Next is Masatsugu-sama’s, no the Saviour-sama to receive his title. I’ve been authorized to give him the guild’s first ever class of SSS!”
“You don’t have to go so overboard. Well it’s fine, I’ll accept it anyway.”
“Thank you very much!”
The award giving Silvy lowered her head and thanked me for some reason.
Being able to grant an adventurer class to an being such as myself is a great honor to the guild itself. I can understand the feelings.
The surrounding adventurers are even more noisier than before infront of the awardment of the unheard-of SSS-class.
Silvy this bowed her head with a lovely smile and said “I look forward to working with you from now on.”
Lucia and the others also turn towards me and convey “Congratulations” with glee smiles.
Fumu, as far as I am concerned even S-rank would be fine.
The orphan girls smiling like this even for a little is the most important thing to me.
I’ll remember this happiness.
But, it seems tranquil peace is not allowed for a person as me.
A person with a pale face rushed towards us who were excited and told everyone a notice.
“Terrible news! The king has sent his personal guard to go against the Calamity Dragon! The hero’s from the other world have also joined!”
To his cry I just shook my head
“The dispatched troops missed the time. I pity the sacrificial troops.”
I couldn’t help but predict everything and muttered so downhearted.
“Eh, are they really?”
Silvy responded with that.
