Snippet #2742588

And now, the moment they were led into the guild, after only a moment the group that this was relevant for would be quickly ushered into the back area of the adventurers guild. One could consider it a back lot or a back yard, but many knew it simple as the training yard. It was large, it was vast, and there were a large number of cages with growling and dangerous noises that erupted from inside. There was also notably several others nearby, who had also planned on joining the Adventurer's Guild today.

Actually, Darius seemed to be especially assisting Kodan and Karoline on the matter. Indeed, he seemed to have an exceptional tolerance towards all species, but due to the discrimination Animans and Demon Race faced, helped them along more then usual. However, his slip of the tongue earlier...

Well, Corro also took note of that after Quail shouted and glared at him a little.

"Hey hey! I did not mean it in an offensive way! Its just...they were super strong you know! TO the point of being ridiculous! Like, they are truly amazing people for sure, but I was honestly really scared every time I worked with them that if they slipped just a little bit, I would get wiped out of existence!"

Darius gave praise, and some worry, to the parents of Corro and Quail. And then, as for the Guildmaster.

"Oh, in case you were wondering, I noticed it from the stance the boy took just a moment ago. It is a very specific stance after all, unique to the sword style created by that man, Eric Porter. I saw it quite a few times when he was taking out several ogres with a single swing".

"Well, I suppose it should be expected that there will be those types after all. Since there are no fat adventurers really".

Corro looked at Darius' words with confusion, his mind brought off track by curiosity.

"No fat adventurers?"

"Yes. All adventurers, at the very least when they start out, have to pass four tests to register. The tests you are about to do now. The first test is a running test. You have to be in shape to pass it, so its impossible for someone who has not taken care of themselves to be it. And of course, when people become an adventurers they have reasons like money or adventurers. There are quite a number of adventurers who do it for the money and to make a living doing dangerous work like hunting Demon Beasts, but there are also a number of adventurers who do it for fun or other reasons. Your parents are the latter, the pinnacle of Adventurers. Stories are told about them to children who want to aspire for greatness even!"

And then, with all the conversation before they could reply to much else (although Liro actually just had nothing to add at the moment to what Bella said to Kastor), and decided to oversee everything with them.

However, he did notice that Bella seemed to be playing around of sorts. Although no one else could really understand it, he had the experience to.

"By the way, Bella is it? You know, most of the people here right now are either Receptionists immune to such antics, drunk adventurers drinking at the bar we have over there inside the Adventurers Guild, or those who are on their off days and feel like relaxing. And since Adventurers tend to be the wary sort, its extremely unlikely anyone will understand what you are trying to do. Especially those who have taste for your type. What you need to find is someone who will really appreciate your personality though, yes yes, someone like that will suit you best".

"What are you doing you idiot who has failed at love several times, you two get over here so we can begin?"

With that, Darius scolded Bella and Liro, and asked them both to just follow the others into the training yard in the back.

"Now, the first test will be to run from this side to the other side...in under twenty seconds!"

If one were to look, the field was quite large. Although not impossible to run that far in under twenty seconds, it meant people would have to accelerate quickly and give it there all. Of course, this also had another meaning. This was to confirm they had the ability to run away from danger too tough for them, the physical ability to fight and take on, or at least dodge, a Demon Beast, and the like.

However, on that note, there was one vital thing he did not say. He never said that the applicants were not allowed to use magic or special abilities.

"And go!"

ANd so Corro, who enhanced his body with mana circulation and Physical Boost magic, ran across the field. But, he was not running on two legs, but he had moved to all fours and ran as such. This caused his speed to increase massively and made him able to cover more ground.

And meanwhile, he had Darius go back over to the Dwarf while looking up records on what he suspected this Red Beast might be...to gather information, so they could deal with it properly.
