The following day I go back to my daily routine. I even look like a zombie doing the same thing repeatedly, but when I was on earth, it was almost the same, with the difference that this will be temporary. Once the egg hatches, I will leave this city to go to Aurora, take a flight to the Fana continent, and make my way to be a poke master... I mean, to be the most powerful adventurer.

I head to the academy to start working, although it feels more like I'm exercising every day than working.

...

* *Yawn* Finally, it's over. Let's leave these leaves and go eat Japanese food. How about Kawaii?

* Kiii... =__=

* A right, then I will ask you for a square watermelon. I remember Japanese farmers used to make them, why I have no idea, what do you think?

* KIII!!! (っˆڡˆς)

With that said, I went to Siri to give her the sheets. Just like yesterday, all the students accepted, maybe the students spread some rumours about me and that made many of them change their perception of me, what I don't know is if they are afraid of me or respect me... well, what do I care, let's go to Siri and ask her about that dungeon.

As soon as I arrive at Siri's office, I see the door open and out comes Siri and Indis, who, curiously, I haven't seen in a long time.

* Hello ladies, what are you doing?

* Siri: Not much. The student, Indis, asked me for help regarding a problem with her ability.

* Indis And Miss Indis were kind enough to help me.

* I see. I came to drop off some sheets and ask Miss Siri if she would let me access the academy dungeon.

* Siri: Well, I'll say Yes and No.

* You say yes to let me into the dungeon and no to not get the sheets, right?!

* Siri: Stop playing games, you know what I mean.

* Okay, okay, can you tell me why I can't log in?

* Siri: You do not meet the requirements.

* What do I need to do? Hunt C-rank monsters? If so, I've already done it.

* Siri: It is required to have an adventurer's license of rank D and to have worked for at least 6 months.

* Fuck me, that's a long time.

* Siri: These are the rules. You have to abide by them.

Hearing that, Marco began to scheme his head and think of a way to avoid this illogically long time block.

As Marco was silent and his head hung low, Siri and Indis were equally silent as they watched Marco think of a way to get into the academy dungeon. From experience, they both knew he was devising a way to enter the dungeon without going through the procedures, so they waited patiently to see what idea he would come up with.

A few minutes later, Marco raised his head as he looked at Siri with a smile, as if he already had an answer for that.

* Do I really have to wait 6 months for that?

* Siri: That's right.

* Are you sure?

* Siri: Yes.

* Are you sure?!

* Siri: ... What are you thinking?

* I heard this dungeon must be cleaned every 2 weeks to prevent the monsters from getting too strong. Is that correct?

* Siri: ... That's right, but that mission is for C-rank adventurers only.

* And who says I'm not?

* Siri: As I recall, your adventurer card is rank E.

* Well, miraculously, it went up a level.

* Siri: ... When did that happen?

* By chance of life, it happened today.

* Siri: Wow, what a coincidence, isn't it!

* Yes, isn't it? In any case, since I am working here and a rank C adventurer, I should be given priority for that mission.

* Siri: Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that mission has already been handed over to the adventurer's guild, and it just so happens that it can only be registered until today.

* ... you're fucking with me, right ...

* Siri: *smile* Maybe yes or maybe no.

* ... *sigh* Then I'll have to hurry. Would you be so kind as to make copies of these documents for me?

* Siri: Sure.

With that said, Siri enters to make copies of Marco's documents. At the same time, he falls down, exhausted to know that his plan did not go as it should. He thinks that if he used his connection as a trainer of the academy, he could avoid the hassle of going to the adventurers guild and updating his rank. Still, when he heard that the mission was already delivered and it was only available to adventurers of rank C, he had no choice but to go there and update his rank.

While all this was going on, Siri was having fun observing that Marco's plan didn't go as he wanted, but it happened that she sent that mission to the adventurer's guild an hour before Marco arrived. This most likely wouldn't have happened if he had gone this morning and asked.

* Siri: Here you go.

* Thank you, now if you will excuse me, I will leave.

* Indis: Are you going to the adventurers' guild now?

* First, I want to go to lunch to get this bad taste out of my mouth.

* Indis: Let's go together. I also have some things to do.

* All right, will you join us, Siri?

* Siri: No, I'm going to lunch with other teachers.

* Okay, have fun.

* Indis: See you later, Miss Siri.

With that said, Indis and I headed towards the adventurer's guild, but not before stopping by the restaurant for lunch and ordering the speciality of the day. Once we ordered our food and the fruit plate for Kawaii, we started talking.

* Hey Indis, why have I hardly seen you this week?

* Indis: Hooo? Did you miss me?

* I think so. It felt strange that you didn't appear out of nowhere.

* Indis: *Smile* Well, I'm trying to evolve my ability this time.

* I see. And since you didn't know how to do it, you went to Siri for help.

* Indis: Exactly, but he told me not to hurry, that it takes time and to practice for now.

* I see. And what is the reason for going to the Adventurer's Guild?

* Indis: I wanted to see if he would let me use his training camp.

* Your training camp? What's wrong with the one at the academy?

* Indis: None, it's just that the adventurer's guild is used by people experienced in battles, and it would be a good idea to observe them get some inspiration.

* Mmm makes sense.

* Indis: By the way, is it true that you are a fetishist of Sado maso?

* WTF?! Where did you hear something like that from?!

* Indis: Isn't it true? I thought it was. Since yesterday I led all the students in class 2B tied up as if I were a bondage master.

* ... but what the hell ... I think I have to stop using the ropes. I don't want to be given an achievement like that in the future, even if it is a title.

After that light conversation, our food was brought to us, and we continued to talk about mundane things to pass the time.

After eating, we continued walking until we reached the doors of the adventurers' guild, which I think I remember that I only entered once. My memory is somewhat confused since I do not have an important memory of this place, so I open the doors and enter the guild, followed by Indis behind me.

Before moving to where the reception is, I examine the mission board to see if there is a mission to clean the dungeon of the academy. I also try to listen to the conversations of the other groups of adventurers to see if anything interesting has happened.

* Well, if this is the mission.

* Indis: Let me see.

At that, Indis pokes his head behind me eh tries to observe the mission description.

[Rank C Mission - Cleaning the academy's "Tox Dungeon"].

[Description: Strong adventurers are required, able to clean the permanent dungeon of the academy, they can keep all the bodies of the monsters they hunt, as well as the materials they obtain].

[Deadline: Until next Monday].

* Until next Monday? That means Siri tricked me...

* Indis: *Pffffff* Hahahahaha, you really got fooled by Miss Siri.

* *Sigh* The good news is that I don't have to do it today. If anything, I can do it on Sunday.

* Indis: Are you really going to clean this dungeon?

* That's right.

* Indis: How?

* I have my methods, but I have to do a couple of things first, starting with increasing the range of my ID.

I take the mission paper and stand in the third row of the reception desk as I did the first time I came here and wait for my turn.

...

After 10 minutes of waiting in line, it's finally my turn.

* Good afternoon, how can I help you?

* Good afternoon, I would like to take this mission, please.

* Can you show me your ID?

* Well, here's the thing, I would like to increase the rank of my ID to rank C to take this mission.

* What is its rank?

* Rank E

Hearing that, the receptionist looks at me differently, as if she is looking at a presumptuous and idiotic person, but she quickly hides those thoughts and continues with the procedure.

* Sir, first, you must take the D-rank exam, and after passing it, you can take the C-rank exam.

* Does it take a long time?

* The truth is yes, you have to hunt 100 D-rank monsters in a maximum of 1 week, and for the C-rank exam, it is 150 C-rank monsters in a maximum of 2 weeks without anyone's help.

Saying that, the receptionist expects the man in front of her to start criticizing her for their high difficulty level. Many adventurers complain that the rank promotion exam is very difficult. She was already prepared for this man to start complaining.

* If that's all, there is no problem, how late is the adventurers guild open?

* Huh?

The receptionist was speechless. She didn't think the man in front of her was not only not bothered but also asked her, "How late is the guild open?

* Hello? Miss?

* Ah! until 22:00.

* Understood, it doesn't matter the species of the monster, but it has to be of rank C, right?

* Yes, no matter the species.

* Understood, I will come before closing. Thank you.

* Huh? Yeah. Right.

With that said, Marco steps out of line and lets Indis go next.

* Okay, I'm off to hunt. See you later, Indis.

* Indis: See you later, Mr Marco.

Then, Marco leaves the adventurer's guild and heads southeast of the forest to hunt all the C-rank monsters in his path.

...

When Marco came out, Indis started talking to the receptionist.

* Indis: Good afternoon, do you happen to know if we students can use the training area of the guild.

* Sure, no problem, just go down this hallway to the back of the building.

* Indis: Thank you very much.

Knowing that she could use the training ground without any problems, Indis walked down the hallway to the back of the building, hoping that watching other people train would give her some inspiration and she could improve her sonic pulse skill.

Meanwhile, the receptionist who had served Marco and Indis took her time to relax and sip some of her mint tea to unwind. Unconsciously she remembered the man she had just attended to, she thought he was just a self-centred and arrogant man, but he turned out to be a normal guy, but she was surprised that he wanted to increase his rank two levels.

At that, she remembered what the man said to her, "It doesn't matter the species of the monster, but it has to be C-rank, right? " Remembering this, the receptionist stopped drinking her mint tea because she thought she was misremembering, but thinking deeply, she remembered that guy said that. She also said, "Understood, I will come before closing. Thank you."

* That guy is coming before the guild closes... he must be crazy.

With that said, the receptionist stopped thinking about it and went back to focusing on her work, but in the back of her mind, she wanted to know if what the man said was just talk or if he really meant what he said, in any case, she would find out later.
