Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 274 Written Test

This lady, Stella, is quite good with all her work and talent in handling the paperwork and stuff like that.

Just after we finished the small talk in the VIP room and came out, she got to her work and it didn't even take ten minutes for her to finish that complicated stuff.

And this was amazing…

Asking her to be our personal, fixed receptionist was the best choice.

Our eyes didn't fail us this time, and her natural prowess in this stuff was praiseworthy.

Rein was hesitant to use that much money even after she had core access to all the primary accounts of her household at the central bank.

She can just use as much as she wanted after writing a simple check, and that would be it but… she didn't like spending more than needed.

That wasn't who she was, to begin with.

Well, it was cute, and I liked this side of hers too.

I can just be the crazy one who spends whatever amount needed 'when it was actually required', that is.

Even I wouldn't splash out money when it was unnecessary.

And spending money that wasn't mine was clearly a no-no for me.

Even after mom gave me a checkbook of the house as well as her personal account, I would very well just use my own money first for anything.

I already had enough to go by and though the amount for that confidentiality thing was too much, it was worth every single coin.

And even if Stella didn't tell us about it, I was naturally going to ask about that.

I already knew most of the things about the adventurer association.

This place, this whole thing, was present even before seven thousand years.

Meaning, the adventurer's association is far older than the current master of this place, as well as the headmaster combined.

And I also knew many things about the three first guilds that came into existence some three-four thousand years ago.

And though I didn't know what had happened during this time since most of the time there were millennia-long wars going around in the world, according to master, so no one knows.

Most ancient history has been destroyed by 'time' and 'them', and I can only speculate things from the old stories my master had told me.

Well, thinking too much about it was nothing important as the main raising of the association actually started just five or so millennia ago, according to the history that I know of.

And the same was true for the three main first adventurer's guilds of the world.

Not that all three of them were the only strongest in the world.

There were nine most powerful guilds in the current time and… the things they offered to the adventurers to be part of them were quite something.

And being part of a guild, or just an independent one who works with only the association, was all up to them.

Mom's merchant guild also has a guild under them and, though not one of the nine strongest in power and human resources, that guild was one of the strongest in money support.

Well, the two of us weren't much interested in joining any guild.

If needed, I would make one myself in the far future and that would be just for the fun, anyway.

Being a part of any guild meant more resources to all the people, unlike just the ones in the high rank of association.

And the concept of guild and association was quite normal, so it was easy to understand for all of us.

But to be part of this, one first had to be an adventurer.

And the first hurdle for it was this test paper for the written test that I was currently solving in a separate room from Rein.

The <High council>, <Elder council>, and the <Triangle table> are the three groups of people who stand on the top and work mostly for world peace and the maintenance of the 'great balance'.

And of them, the high council of the adventurer's association is the one who made this paper one and a half millennia ago.

And as this specific council contained not only mages and knights but also almost all of the best ones in their own fields, this paper has been one of the toughest ones to ever exist in the whole of known history.

And even for me, it took almost a year's work to finally solve all three hundred of them.

It was difficult, had many unexpected things, and these bastards even put some wrong things in them, just for the solver to figure things out and work from there.

This paper... I would genuinely give it 9.3/10.

And in this entire life of mine, there had only been one genuine question paper that I could never fully fathom or even score more than 50% in it.

That shit... and its great creators...

Even some new gods and all the lords would have to bow before the degree of difficulty of the questions asked in that and… one had to be at the very least dad's strength just to even solve that stuff.

My master wasn't the only one to make that... she was a part of the group that made it.

Although they all had become one with mother nature a long time ago, their combined legacy was still there, in the center of our tower's library as well as scattered all around this entire nature.

That divine stuff was cool, so cool these mortal-made questions couldn't even come close to them.

And if I, someone this weak, could solve three out of the hundred questions at this lowly strength, I knew the level before me right now was almost nothing compared to that stuff.

And it wasn't like it needed the genius to solve either of these papers, no.

It asked for how much truth one knows and how far one can think.

It required pure imagination as the base, then a sharp mind that can think in scenarios, remember all the possibilities, think several times before reaching the conclusion, and after these main things... one just needed sufficient strength and knowledge to solve the questions and answer the theory.

Well... this was just my point of view on this paper that few had ever solved in history as well as the one that existed in some special, super special places like our tower.

I didn't believe I could ever solve that one even after far surpassing my dad's strength or even Rein's grandma's strength, but I had already solved this one.

And this wasn't even the hardest one we humans possessed.

There were a few others, and I won't be seeing them till I get to the academy.

But for now, this question paper was done from my side after using thirty magic papers where one had ten more pages…

So, a three hundred-page answer sheet for a three hundred question paper.
