Soooo, is ‹Best of Best, the Great Star› really going to merge with ‹Eden› in the future or not?
556 - Nameless 2nd year Adventurer
In a present continuous tense, Investigation-senpai should still be investigating but if it's true, he might be more in jeopardy.
When all is said and done, this year's Combat Department First year class-1 consists of unusually powerful members after all.
To top it off, more than half of them belong to the same guild.
Nowadays, I can't stop thinking that Brave might truly be hellbent on creating the strongest guild.
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
Class-1 is an elite class composed of excellent students of that department.
The level and quality of their lessons isn't something other classes can compare either.
Rightfully so, too, because their assistant-homeroom teacher is none other ‹Roaring Blaze Ladvena› and Mukai-sensei.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
Furthermore, the homeroom teacher is Phyllis-sensei, Dean's granddaughter.
Academy is also paying attention to their class after all.
-
Nameless 1st year Raccoon-Shielder
I have a question!
I have heard about ‹Roaring Blaze Ladvena› but who might Mukai-sensei be?
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
You must not be familiar with this name if you have enrolled this year.
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
I'm in awe of you, Supporter-senpai.
Your response was faster than their question.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
Nothing much.
Mukai-sensei is one of the heroic figures affiliated to the guild that had managed to conquer a part of ‘Adv-low’ (Read: advanced-low grade dungeon).
While instructor ‹Roaring Blaze Ladvena› was performing one great feat after another in the dungeon, the one who was supporting her with his utmost capability from behind was Mukai-sensei
He's our ‹Support Department›'s ace. Best of the Best supporter.
-
Nameless 1st year Raccoon-Shielder
That's amazing!
I didn't know we also have such amazing people!
Wait, so ‹Roaring Blaze› Ladvena-sensei was one of the party members who had conquered adv-low?
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
To be more precise, she was the guiding light for the exploration.
Dungeon field has almost no restriction to the number of people it can have as you know. So a lot of them can form a raid party as well.
Well, the field boss also grew stronger in proportion to the number of raid parties, so members were in fact already decided on who would explore the dungeon.
In that era, a certain S-rank guild had raised the flag to challenge the adv-low and mobilised all of its 50 members.
They splendidly reached the depth and managed to safely escort their ace party members there.
The chosen ace party then magnificently crushed the boss after a fierce battle.
-
Nameless 1st year Raccoon-Shielder
Woooah! Incredible!
And thoss ace members were...?
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurerv
of course, they were ‹Roaring Blaze Ladvena› and Mukai-sensei.
-
. Nameless 2nd year Priest
Why the hell did you butt in between, Adventurer!?
-
Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
That's terrible of you to snatch the role of Supporter-Senpai!
-
Nameless 2nd year Axman
Adventurer, were you just waiting for that final moment!?
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
It-Its all-right. 'Tis me don't mind.
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
Holy, even the speech pattern changed!
There's no way you don't mind!?
-
Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
Please don't do anything rash, Supporter-Senpai!
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurerv
Crap. I'm sorry, Supporter-Senpai.
-
Nameless 1st year Raccoon-Shielder
Uwaaaa!
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
Don't mind. Things like that sometimes.
Just be careful next time.
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
Ohh! You're so cool, Supporter-Senpai.
-
Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
A mature response!
I'm in awe!
-
. Nameless 2nd year Axman
So what were we talking about?
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
Weren't we talking about the guild that conquered an adv-low?
Well, it's already been 20 years since that guild achieved that feat but alas, others still couldn't replicate their feat.
It's hard for me to imagine how much hard work they must have poured in.
Speaking of it, what was that guild name?
-
Nameless 2nd year Magician
It's the story from before we were even born.
But the name is recorded in the documents you know?
Focus on your study.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
The name is ‹King Absolute›.
This guild was spearheaded by our current King in his student days.
At that time, the current king was involved in the maelstrom of succession battle apparently.
As you may have guessed, he became the King without a hiccup with this feat under his belt.
-
Nameless 2nd year Magician
It has been recorded in detail in the history books, you know?
If I'm right, the current ‹King Absolute› guild is also aiming for that.
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
You're right. Guild master and the crown prince Yul has made a big announcement.
Academy similarly is helping them out too ?? that being said, they're being quite spartan in their method.
Even the guild battle that had happened with ‹Thousand Sword Freckles› a while ago was orchestrated by the academy.
-
Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
Ohh! Investigator-senpai is back!!
Welcome back!
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
Ah, really, it's Investigator-senpai!
Wait, then was that a fixed guild battle!?
Were they really fine letting ‹King Absolute› hog the credit?
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
Don't make a haste. I did say their methods are spartan, didn't I?
I could see both guilds were going all-out in that guild battle.
As if implying they wouldn't have any future if they succumbed to the A-rank guild there.
It seems the academy had only set-up the guild battle and call-out to gather their members.
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurer
Isn't that too much!?
Being a royalty sure is tough. I would have immediately fled had I been forced to do a guild battle against the A-rank guild in front of so many spectators. I'm confident I wouldn't even be able to put up a fight and be sliced into two parts.
-
Nameless 2nd year Axman
So, does Senpai think ‹King Absolute› has any chance of replicating the feat of conquering an adv-low?
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
If I have to be honest, the prospect of their success was bleak until a while ago.
Current ‹King Absolute› is inferior to the past ‹King Absolute› whether it's in level or number of high-ranking job candidates.
With how the situation looked, it was impossible for them to challenge a adv-low until their graduation.
That was the case behind the scenes, some members even opposed the idea of challenging the dungeon in their current state and the preparation wasn't going well either. After all, ‹Relief Committee› wouldn't be able to rescue them in the advanced dungeon.
-
Nameless 2nd year Axman
Hmm, ‘was’ you say, that means there are chances now?
-
Inv
It's thanks to the research institute and Brave-kun.
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurerv
High-ranking jobs!
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
I see. There is explosive growth in freshmen who have high-ranking jobs this year.
If they can train them in time, conquering an adv-low wouldn't be a pipedream anymore, right?
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
You're not wrong but I have got even more interesting information.
It has come to my ears that ‹King Absolute› has asked Dean if there's any way they could negotiate and get their hands on the ‹Dungeon Carriage›.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
Now I see, ‹Dungeon Carriage›!
That means ‹King Absolute› will earnestly embark on the journey to conquer adv-low.
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurer
Woooaah! Always calm and cool Senpai is extremely excited!?
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
That Supporter guy adored kamui-sensei after all.
He always gets passionate at the words of conquering adv-low.
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
Interesting. I never expected such a passionate flame might be burning inside cool as ice Supporter-Senpai.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
Ahem. That's a bit rude, Priest-kouhai. (Kouhai - junior)
Of course I have my moments when I get excited.
Anyway, how far has the ‹King Absolute› reached, Investigator?
Any estimation when will they start?
Timewise, they would be jam-packed with official business when it was time for them to summer homecoming.
Will they be able to make it in time for adv-low if they start their preparation now?
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
Ohh, that cool Supporter-Senpai is truly burning in flames of passion......
-
Nameless 2nd year Magician
You don't get to see this everyday.
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
They apparently have plans to execute their strategy in the beginning of June.
Their equipment are far from done, so I heard they're scraping them from any place possible.
Since they also have the level to raise, they are expected to clear the upper strata in around one and a half month's time.
According to my calculation, they would barely be able to make it in time until summer homecoming.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
Their schedule is quite earlier than I thought.
But I see. That means, they will continue with the middle strata from the second term.
It's possible to bulldoze their way through the upper floor with their current level but middle strata would be impossible. So they also need to level up.
Hmm, it seems like their plan is to finish the line-up by the summer vacation.
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
They would be considerably hard-pressed if they still didn't reach the middle strata when the second term starts.
That's why I'm guessing they're squeezing every way possible to hasten up the preparation.
I heard they're also receiving freshmen in their subordinate guild at a mad pace so that they could also be used.
They apparently have the plan to let a subordinate guild train the freshmen and then influx them into the parent guild at the starting of the second term.
Well, the current ‹King Absolute› only has 37 members after all.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
And then clear the adv-low in third term?? is what they're aiming for I assume. If we also include ‹Dungeon Carriage› in the story, it could also play its role on multiple fronts. It will make it easier to raise first years and it would be helpful in exploration too.
Summing up everything, the current time is extremely precious for them.
Not only do they have to hurry up, they also have to make sure everything is flawless.
The rest would be first years. They're just as important and have to absorb those glittering uncut gems as quickly and as much as possible.
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
For them, the more they could recruit, the better.
But if we take upper strata in the scenario, I assume juniors from upper rank classes would be more in their target range.
Something like, Class-1?
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurerv
Hold on! There is that rumor that Brave is recruiting his classmates from Class-1 to make the strongest guild. Wouldn't it give spark to conflict?
-
Nameless 2nd year Axman
Goodness, would ‹Eden› and ‹King Absolute› clash over the talented personnel?
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
No. According to my Investigation, it was just a false rumor.
These rumors were born because that was the first time for Brave-kun to form a party with someone outside of his guild.
In fact, the guild ‹Best of the best, the Great Star› is strongly opposing Brave-kun.
The guild battle too, is apparently the result of that opposition and rivalry. Also, they're too prideful. I have met with lots of people but it was my first time seeing someone with such stout pride.
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurerv
So it was just a false rumor!
Rather, what do you mean by too prideful, Investigator-senpai?
Also, wasn't there rumour Brave don't party with anyone beside Eden members?
-
Nameless 1st year Sage Rabbit
That doesn't seem to be the case.
I have seen Brave-san in the dungeon along with Quartet and they all seemed to be having awfully fun. They were most likely just playing around. It looked fun.
-
Nameless 3rd year Supporter
Hmm, so everything was just a hoax.
I guess this is the byproduct from paying too much attention to Brave, they seemed to have assumed something is happening even though there isn't.
-
Nameless 2nd year Axman
I see.
I guess this is what they call the side-effect of being too famous.
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
So, this means Brave isn't interested in absorbing his classmate in his guild, right? That means there will be no more increase in high-ranking jobs in Eden right?
-
Nameless 1st year Sage Rabbit
I'm unsure about this. I mean, this just depends on Brave-san himself, no?
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
you're right!
-
Nameless 2nd year Adventurerv
However, I'm curious how much stronger Eden will become?
If the situation isn't handled well, I can see the looming clash between the ‹Eden› and ‹King Absolute›.
It wouldn't be a laughing matter if ‹King Absolute› actually lost.
-
Nameless 3rd year Investigator
Well, that's better to leave for the academy to handle.
I'm planning to keep my eyes on ‹Eden› and ‹King Absolute› though.
-
Nameless 2nd year Priest
I knew we could rely on you, Investigator-senpai.
