496. Nameless 3rd Supporter
We finally have a first year guild among us ready to take the D-rank promotion exam huh.
Goodness, they're 3 months earlier compared to last month. No words are enough to describe my surprise.
492. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer
Eeeeek!
Doesn't that put eternal E-rank <Adventures> reputation into dirt then!?
498. Nameless 2nd year Magician
You couldn't even become a stepping stone.
499. Nameless 2nd year Priest
Whatever you say, they're still unbelievably fast.
This is just June, you know?
What happened to them taking at least half a year!?
I will take whatever ultra-rare potion they're having for that speed!
500. Nameless 3rd year Investigator
Chaotic much, huh. I have found something interesting incidentally.
501. Nameless 2nd year Axeman
!!
Oh, Investigator-senpai with his godspeed information has descended!
What have you come to know, Senpai!
502. Nameless 3rd year Investigator
I will take that compliment.
Apparently <Eden> is doing multiple dungeon attacks a day.
According to the information I have, Brave-kun has speedrun through three beginner dungeons and one extra dungeon.
Just their speed wasn't the only peculiar aspect about them. One of <Eden> secret was in their capabilities to run through multiple dungeons.
503. Nameless 2nd year Priest
What dungeon shaking information!
So you're saying not only did they visit two dungeons after classes, they even managed to clear them and returned back in time?
504. s2
Yes, stop there. Timeout!
How is it even physically possible!? We're talking about after classes, right!? The time till curfew after classes is just that few hours you know!
505. Nameless 3rd Supporter
Well put.
However inconceivable it might be, if this information is on spot, all that about<Eden> astounding growth makes sense.
For us, it is difficult to clear dungeons within the time constraint after the classes, so the usual is to hunt down monsters to level up and gather materials to raise funds.
The only time it's possible for us to clear dungeons are weekends. And let's say, even if it was possible for us to clear the dungeon within weekdays, it was absolutely impossible to clear them twice in a single day.
At the end of the day, this all explains the uniqueness of <Eden>.
506. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer
Yes?
No, just wait!
Are you for real?
507. Nameless 2nd year Magician
You hear that, Adventurer? You have to at least be capable of pulling that much if you don't want your already dirtbag reputation to fall further.
508. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer
Uwoooh!!
That's not even on the level of 'just difficult'!?
509. Nameless 2nd year Priest
Well, no wonder they're on the verge of surpassing us.
I'm just too shocked to comment on anything.
510. Nameless 2nd year Axman
So you're saying we might as well watch the show unfolding from the sideline as being mere spectators if we can't copy that?
Good lord, second year this year have a demon ahead and a cliff behind.

67. Nameless 2nd year Alchemist
La~la.
I talked a lot with Brave-kun today.
68. s1
Cheater!!
69. Nameless 1st year Merchant
Yeah, cheater!
Brave-kun even calls you by your name!
70. Nameless 1st year Female Soldier
For all that's holy, just at what time you set your tent just to save that seat, Alchemist-senpai!?
Can you believe it? Alchemist-senpai was already there at 6 AM when I arrived at the auditorium!
71. Nameless 2nd year Alchemist
Too sweet, freshman.
But you see, unlike you, we, the upperclassmen, have only joined in the midway so we don't sweat over such small stuff.
What can I say, you guys are truly slowpoke.
72. s1
G-Grrrrr~.
We will show you our resolve by securing the seat before Brave-kun at all cost!
73. Nameless 1st year Female Soldier
Keep putting air as much you want!
I admit I lost this time, but you have dug your own grave by making it clear the strategic importance of the podium-front seat!
I will absolutely be taking that throne next time!
74. Nameless 1st year Shielder
Don't get ahead of yourself, of course it would be me!
75. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
What an intense smell of gunpowder.
Is it just me or their rivalry has been getting too much momentum lately?
76. Nameless 2nd year Priest
You ought to put the onus on Alchemist for her persistent advancement. And you know what, I heard she seems to be learning from failure and actually getting better at tricking the guards circle from deporting her back.
77. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
This isn't the place she should be pouring her effort...or so I want to say, but this is all a Schrödinger-esque situation.
At the rate she's making progress, she might truly get that opportunity she is digging in for.
78. Nameless 2nd year Alchemist
The next in the line to join <Eden> will be me. Mark my words.
Unlike others, I have crawled into the good office of Brave-kun and he has even remembered my face and name!
It's just a matter of time till my joining!
79. Nameless 3rd Supporter
Great for you, anyway. It's about time for the promotion exam to start.
It sure is getting quite a traction, can't miss the chance to watch it.
80. Nameless 2nd year Priest
And here comes Supporter-senpai with his intervention skill. Or maybe slide?
Well, even I don't think Alchemist's effort will truly bore fruit.
Either way, we truly have a much more important topic at hand.
81. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
You said it! It's finally time for the D-rank promotion exam!
But oh man, the arena is bustling with crowds.
Why the heck are they coming in droves when <Eden> is basically guaranteed promotion?
82. Nameless 3rd Supporter
True, no one believes <Eden> will fumble here. But, that's not enough to curb the curiosity of others.
Because this is <Eden>, after all/
83. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
That's truly convincing!
84. Nameless 3rd Supporter
Their opponent is <Flash of Flower> guild.
The guild mainly worked around on quests and ranked in the middle among other D-rank guilds.
And considering girls ratio in the guild being 100% and majority of being nobles or similar position individuals, they sound like a perfect opponent. In fact, academy also has quite a confidence in them it seems. Their composition just fit the bill that the academy actually wants.
85. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
That makes sense. I also heard about them.
They are especially known for their strong solidarity and accepting only girls.
86. Nameless 1st year Shelder
I, I don't have to pull on my hair that <Eden> might recruit some members from the opponent guild as that damned rumors in the street goes, right!?
All hail the academy. What a splendid choice of guild!
87. Nameless 1st year Female Soldier
Phew, I can give a rest to my hattling heart now.
88. Nameless 3rd year Investigator
......The rumors, eh.
You can be rest assured. They have a strong spirit of solidarity and also haven't let any boy join after becoming a girls only guild.
It's because they're a girls only guild that they have got the opportunity to be chosen for this guild battle.
89. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman
Wh-Why I am sensing a hidden implication?
Don't tell me there's really some kind of play there?
90. Nameless 3rd year Investigator
Well, who knows......
But, yeah. I don't think you need to worry about possible headhunting from the opponent guild. So watch the guild battle with a relaxed mind.
91. Nameless 1st year Shielder
It's really assuring to have your approval, Investigator-senpai.
92. Nameless 3rd Supporter
True enough.
That said, my dear first years. It's still early for you to throw caution to the wind. Make sure you pay attention to this D-rank exam,
There's a possibility you will also take the D-rank test, so make sure to note down the details of this match.
This D-rank exam in particular is the mirror to the rules that you will see in the actual guild battles later.
The field is also a more elaborated one unlike before so pay attention.
