Volume 5 Chapter 64: I Give! I Give!

"The two of you are working so hard in the morning," Keith went to the mansion's backyard to see Herrick and Arlo working hard. Well, it was Arlo who was.

"I'm helping Arlo become stronger than before!" Herrick grinned. Since Arlo helped him out with his pot, it was his turn to help him out.

"That's good. However, I think you might have to tone it down,"

"There's no need to. I can-"

"Arlo, anyone can see you're dying," Keith noted. Arlo was drenched in sweat, and his breathing was ragged.

"Yeah, we should stop for now." Herrick agreed, "You can't force your body. That would just cause more harm than help."

"Okay." Arlo nodded as he headed in.

"What?" Herrick looked at Keith and noticed the smirk.

"When did you become so gung-ho about patience?" Him being kind was one thing. However, he didn't expect Herrick to be patient.

"..." Herrick looked away from him.

Not gonna say, huh? Keith chuckled, "The others will be in bed a little longer." Those three returned home late; it seemed like the party was something. The three were so tired.

"Tell them breakfast is on the table."

"You're heading out?"

"Mmhmm. I'm going to do some hunting. Do you want anything?"

"Can you get more rush bull meat? Also, try to get some fruit you bought yesterday. It was tasty."

"Sure. And don't worry about the fruit. Just wait until later; Diana will finish growing it." Diana got to work on planting the seeds.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"Gotcha."

Keith stretched his hand back and forth as he headed to the adventurer's guild. He planned to do some quests. However, as he was about to leave, Alfia entered through the gate.

"Good morning, Alfia."

"Morning." "Woof," "Kwak!"

"Good morning to you guys as well." Keith smiled as he patted the two spirits, "Fira's awake. You can play with her." The two spirits quickly headed to the backyard when they heard that.

"Where are you going?"

"To the adventurer's guild." Alfia's expression brightened when he said that. She asked, "Actually, can I come with you?"

"Hmm? You want to come?"

"Can I not?"

"No, you can come with me," Keith chuckled. The two headed for the adventurer's guild. When they entered, Alfia glanced around,

"So this is the adventurer's guild."

"Mmhmm," Keith headed to the quest board to check. He took one for rush bulls and some searching ones.

"Madison, I will be taking these quests,"

"Sure." Madison looked over the quests and nodded. These quests were good. She also asked, "Are you here to become an adventurer too?"

Alfia scratched her head, "Can I?"

"Of course you can. What are you thinking?" This child. Keith shook his head.

"I didn't know. My father always said not to be an adventurer because it's dangerous."

"..."

"Yes, being an adventurer is certainly dangerous. However, that's if you bite off more than you can chew." Madison smiled, "You can take lower-level quests to gain some experience. And there are quests that don't focus on fighting."

"Understood," Alfia didn't hesitate to sign up.

"Would you like to take a test?"

"A test?"

"Yes. With it, you can ascend to a higher rank faster."

"I see. I would like to take it," Alfia nodded.

"Who's going to be the proctor?" Keith questioned.

"I am!" Groa stated as he got up.

"Groah, you're here?"

"Mmhmm! I had some free time!" His eyes turned to Alfia.

"So you'll be the one I'm testing. I will tell you now; just because you're Keith's friend, it doesn't mean I will hold back." It would be the opposite. With how strong he was, there was no way he could do it against her.

"Okay," Alfia nodded. As they headed to the field, Keith whispered to Alfia, "You should hold back."

"Hmm?"

"Just do it."

"Fine,"

"Keith, does she really need to hold back?" Madison overheard his words.

"If you don't want the guild to blow up, yes." Keith declared.

"..."

...

"I give! I give!" Groa shouted. Madison's eyes widened while Keith grabbed his head. As expected. What he thought had happened.

Alfia basically destroyed the entire field! She kept firing fireballs at Groa. The adventurer didn't have a chance to fight back!

"What rank will she get, Madison?"

"She will get C-rank," Madison sighed as she handed a tag to Alfia.

"What rank do you have, Keith?"

"C,"

"Then I'm on the same level as you," Alfia stated proudly. That caused Keith to flick her forehead, "Cocky, are we now?"

"Eh!" Alfia glared at him.

"Come on, let's go now."
