Two weeks have passed since the battle at Tanumine Valley was over.
In the meantime, To make up for the wasted time, Dojin really put his energy into the promotion quest.
However, compared to the effort put in, the results were not very satisfactory.
Even after becoming a 7th level adventurer, he only managed to achieve 8th level adventurer even though he spent the time he should have left.
‘Starting with a long-fang orc, escorting the corps, then extermination of giant bees, and then a mission to wipe out bandits. How can the quest appear by choosing only the worst of the worst?’
This was all due to bad luck.
Because only the worst of the worst types of quests were assigned, more than double the time other users spent.
“Congratulations, Adventurer! Here’s a new adventurer’s pendant to prove you’re a level 8 adventurer. Thank you for your dedication, adventurer-nim, and from now on, I hope that you will continue to do more for this world as an adventurer. I hope that Bella’s light will shine on the future of Adventurer Dojin!”
While listening to the bright and cheerful adventurer’s guild counter staff, Do-jin weakly accepts the pendant she offers.
The pride of becoming an 8th grade adventurer did not exist at this moment.
‘I lost my luck after getting involved with that bastard of the Blood King.’
I hear you get struck by lightning if you’re next to a tough guy.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Maybe it was because I was fighting with a bad luck guy for no reason.
While thinking nonsense, I took care of the pendant.
The conversation between the two users as they entered the adventurer’s guild tickled Dojin’s ears.
“Hey, is he still sleeping?”
“who? Oh, that bloody road?”
“uh. You fought with everything you had, then lost and just jumped out.”
The Blood King, who had been defeated in a duel two weeks ago, had disappeared.
Of course, the condition of the duel, which was to hand over everything to the winner, was not observed.
‘The end is so messy, so I keep swearing at it.’
The blood king was still being cursed and ridiculed here and there, probably because the finish was not neat.
‘I’m not sorry to know that he’s like that.’
In the first place, Do-jin did not even think that the blood king would accept the result nicely.
It was a ploy to generously increase the total amount of curses the Blood King could consume.
“What do you want from an asshole?”
“Still, if you walked the cassock bread first, shouldn’t you accept the result like a man?”
“If you look only at the results, shouldn’t a cassock be considered one? Can you continue the game after selling all the sides and paying the stakes?”
“That’s right.”
I felt like I was healing my lucky quest luck by hearing a good sound.
Feeling much better, Do-jin, who received the 7th level adventurer promotion quest from the window clerk, put on the mask he had taken off for a while.
After that, I passed by two users who were still intent on chewing the blood king and left the adventurer’s guild.
“But did you see that? Not the duel video, but the highlight video that is being uploaded these days.”
“Tanumi’s valley unreleased videos being released one after another? Of course I saw it. It was crazy.”
The two users did not recognize Do-jin, who passed right by them.

The hunting quest he had to go through to get promoted to a 7th level adventurer was very easy.
Even including the transfer, it took a little over 12 hours, so it was really a fairy compared to the ‘unlucky’ I’ve been through so far.
But it was difficult if only this was okay. In order to become a level 7 adventurer, I had to complete one more quest.
“In order to be promoted to a level 7 adventurer, you must complete one final quest corresponding to that level.”
yes i know
In the 9th grade, I had to spend several days escorting the corps, and in the 8th grade, fighting bandits.
It was Do-jin’s teeth grinding, especially when he thought of the hardships he suffered because the bandits scattered and hid during the ‘Bandit eradication’.
‘This time, please, something that can be done quickly. Please, please!’
Do-jin prays earnestly inwardly.
“The quest that adventurer needs to solve is… … .”
Did that prayer work?
“I have been assigned an escort mission commissioned by the family of Count Licht. The escort schedule is tomorrow. You can escort Bill Licht Youngsik, the second son of Count Licht, during the field training course conducted at the academy.”
A quest that could be completed in one day was selected.
‘It was good.’
Do-jin, who secretly likes him and smiles faintly.
Seeing him like that, the female staff also smiled brightly.
“congratulations. Fortunately, the safest of the escort missions has been assigned. The escort place is a practice place managed by the academy, is there anything special?”
“thank you.”
As the female staff member said, the quest to eat raw was the right thing to do when escorting an academy student.
‘Safety management will be taken care of by the academy. If I go and kill time, the quest will be completed on its own.’
Okay, let’s take a break for a while.
Dojin decided to carry out the quest with a very light heart.
* * *
Driesgen, a port city on the banks of the Elme River.
There, Do-jin was waiting for a boat.
After a while, a large ship arrived at the dock along the river.
People started to get off the boat.
Among them, there was a group of people wearing academy uniforms.
[Bill Licht]
Dojin wrote the name of the escort on a large piece of paper and lifted it above his head.
how long did you wait
Among the people getting off the boat, a boy approached Dojin.
“Oh, hello. Are you the adventurer who will escort me this time… … ?”
This was Do-jin’s first impression of the boy.
‘Is this noble?’
The overly weak-looking boy did not look like an aristocrat.
But that didn’t matter.
‘It’s better than not having an escort target.’
Anyway, I’ll see the NPC today.
It’s something that should be finely tuned.
“yes. It is said that I am Do-jin, who, at the request of Count Licht, was to escort Bill Licht until today’s field practice ends.”
“Oh, hello. My name is Bill Licht.”
At Dojin’s greeting, Bill Licht bowed his head and said hello.
‘This is strange.’
The second son of the count family bows his head?
It was when Dojin thought so.
“What else is that? Is this your new pet dog?”
A voice lacking in cowardice was heard.
When I turned my head, there was a girl with golden hair.
Bill looked at the girl and looked like he was about to cry.
“My, Xenia-sama… … .”
The girl glared at Bill.
“Did I ask you? What is that behind you?”
“I, my father… … .”
“Huh… Even if you are an illegitimate child, are you saying that a child is a child? Didn’t he lose the proxy duel and put a new guard in place of the hospitalized escort?”
The girl’s voice and way of speaking, as well as her eyes and expression, radiated a cold air.
Seeing her like that, Dojin applauded inwardly.
‘Yes, that’s noble.’
A true aristocrat with an innate lack of cowardice.
Dojin thanked God.
The fact that the escort target is not that.
‘If I was told to protect something like that, I wouldn’t just be a 7th level adventurer.’
While Do-jin shook his head, a female knight approached from behind the girl called Xenia.
“Miss, I want you to wait a moment-”
The female knight, who was about to speak in a reproachful tone, looked at Bill and silently bowed.
‘That woman is rather normal.’
Since there was nothing to do, Do-jin imagined a relationship between a boy, a girl, and a female knight.
First of all, this weak-willed, weak-willed guy he has to protect is an illegitimate son of the count’s family.
That girl named Xenia, who is not cheap, is at least the daughter of a prestigious family that goes beyond the count’s family.
I don’t know the exact reason, but Bill seems to hate that bastard.
Then, in a proxy duel, Bill’s escort driver would end up in bed.
‘That knight’s sister was the one who destroyed the escort. If it’s like this, it fits perfectly.’
This is a pretty exciting human spectacle.
It was time for Do-jin to cross the river with popcorn and analyze human relationships as if he were a Buddhist monk.
“I don’t like it. Anna, break that one too.”
Xenia pointed her finger at Dojin and fired sparks.
what? What kind of dog development is this?
Do-jin, who was planning to go after completing the quest while breathing, was dumbfounded by the sudden thunderstorm.
“no.”
Fortunately, things didn’t go from bad to worse.
“what? Are you saying you won’t listen to me now?”
“There is no point in using it this time. Last time, Richt Youngsik was rude to the lady, but not this time.”
I can’t beat you with the right words.
Xenia’s face turned red.
“miss.”
However, when Anna called her name in a stern tone, she couldn’t force him to fight anymore.
“I don’t like it! Anna, follow me 10 steps, no 20 steps behind me!”
Xenia, who quickly turned around, moved with a stomp.
Although it wasn’t threatening to thump on the skinny subject.
Seeing her like that, Anna sighed and apologized to Bill.
“There were many examples, Licht Youngsik.”
“… no.”
“I have offended you too. I will apologize on your behalf. Enough then.”
Anna, who left a polite but not servile apology, waited for a while for her master to go ahead, then followed with a disciplined step.
‘Could that really walk 20 steps in perfect time?’
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Masters and subordinates are strange people.
Thinking, Do-jin scattered the magic he had loaded into the magic circuit.
“… … .”
Then, he carefully comforted the illegitimate son of the Licht family, who was staring at the floor with gloomy eyes.
“It’s a little hard to say this in the middle of a day, but life at the academy doesn’t seem to be smooth from now on.”
“Huh… … .”
But what was the matter, Bill started to cry.
The surrounding academy students passed by without even looking at Bill like he was a stone.
‘This is completely treated as a ghost.’
Do-jin felt sorry for Bill.
But pity is pity.
The important thing was to solve the question right away.
“But that bastard just… Um, who is he?”
At some point, my true feelings almost came out.
No matter how much it is, there is room for side effects if you say that you are a crazy bitch because you are crazy about nobles in a place where there are a lot of nobles.
“… This is Xenia Bondrei. You are the daughter of Duke Bondrey’s family.”
“Yes?”
what? Duke’s daughter?
Is that also the daughter of the crazy gator Mu-i Bondrey?
“Are you really f*cked up?”
Oh, it came out. true heart.
