Volume 6 Chapter 41: Diamonds

And that mutter was caught by everyone there.

"What?!" The adventurer's expression changed when they heard that. He remembered all of the routes? Madison turned to the person himself, "Keith, did you remember all those routes?" Even she had some thoughts about this.

"Yes. I remembered the shortest routes." Keith nodded.

"That's impossible!" Mork shouted, pointing at Keith, "Do you know how many tunnels there are?! How could you remember all of them?!" There were more than 50 tunnels in one section, each with twists, turns, and dead ends. And there would be different combinations depending on the area. To say he remembered everything was inhuman.

"On the first floor, in the first section, you choose the one with a silver texture." Keith went off. One by one, he started to talk about the shortest routes. And as he did, the adventurers were stunned.

"And the last one, you have to use smell." Keith took a sigh. He wanted some water after talking so long.

"..." No one said a thing.

"Is what I said correct, Vice guildmaster?" He turned to Kaiser.

"You're correct." A small chuckle came out of Kaiser's mouth. Even he was surprised by how he remembered all of it.

"If what you said about us party-passing you, we should have arrived here before you." Keith returned to the situation at hand.

"We-"

"Vice guildmaster, I leave the decision to you."

"Understood. I will give a fair and appropriate decision." Kaiser looked at both groups, "Both groups will stay in the city until I bring down the verdict."

"Alright." "...Yes."

Keith turned to Madison, "Madison, we also need to submit all our things."

"Please bring them here," Madison smiled as she walked over to her counter. And Keith brought everything out from his storage ring.

Thud! It was a resounding sound as if a massive mass of bones and magic stones had dropped on the desk.

"Woah! They took out so many soldiers!"

"There are even skeleton knights!"

"Wait a minute, what's that giant bone sticking out?" "That's a floor boss!" There was something eye-catching in that pile! It was much larger than any other bone.

"You guys defeated the floor boss?" Groa questioned. Even his party would have some difficulties with it.

"Of course. To get back here, we went down to the 5th floor to defeat it. That way, we got the chance to teleport out." Keith smiled.

"..." When that was said, they all looked at Mork and the others. That made it more evident on who got party passed. Mork's and the other's expressions were pale as a sheet of paper.

...

After handing in the stones and some bones, Keith and the rest head for the mansion.

"Keith, are you sure we shouldn't have gotten some hits in?" Herrick questioned. They didn't land any punches on them.

"I see."

"I know, I know. I wanted to get some hits on them as well." If Keith said he didn't want to, he would be a liar.

"But would he punish them?" Melor had some doubts.

"Yeah. Kaiser was going to punish them the moment we entered the building."

"Eh?!" "What? You guys didn't notice him watching the whole thing from the second floor?" Throughout the entire time, Kaiser watched everything.

Keith could tell if either side made a rash move; he would jump in.

"Wait a moment, then why did you question them like that?" If Keith figured Kaiser knew who was in the wrong, why did he question Mork like that?

"Because he tried to demean us. I had to do something about it." A dark grin formed on Keith's face. What Mork and the others did was enough to make Keith angry.

"I want them to get the ultimatum."

"...remind me never to get on this guy's bad side."

"Indeed."

"But to think Kaiser would be the Vice-guildmaster." That was a surprise to all of them. He looked so young.

...

While they returned,

"Have their license revoked and banish them from the city." Kaiser had given him his punishment.

"Understood." A clerk nodded as she walked away.

"To think those bastards would do something like that. To young ones at that." He knew about Mork's party. They had a slightly unsightly reputation. However, it wasn't to this level.

They usually tried to mess with beginner adventurers. It was only insults, but that was it. But this took it to another level. Yet that wasn't something he focused on.

It was an afterthought.

"That kid is really sharp." Remembering what had transpired, Kaiser was interested now. He realized Keith had noticed him. Not only that, but he understood the child recognized his words.

Kaiser was impressed. But more so on his ability to remember things. I should have tested him before. A thought came to his mind. When he sparred with those kids, they were diamonds in the rough.

However, the biggest diamond didn't come on stage. Keith was calm as he analyzed his movements without even batting an eye. He was clearly trying to think of a way to defeat him.

"This generation is going to be interesting."
