199. Naless 3rd year Investigator
I have completed my investigation about the ‹Eden› sub-guild ‹Arc-Arcadia›.
200. Naless 3rd Supporter
Godspeed, Investigator.
201. Naless 1st year Shielder
Ahhh, I don't want to know! But maybe just a bit!
202. Naless 2nd year Priest
Choose one!
I do understand your feelings as soone who was rejected. The conflicted emotion where you don't want to know about the lucky ones, but at the sa ti, the smoldering curiosity to know about the new mbers, ‹Eden›, right?
203. Naless 2nd year Alchemist
What's with this unfairness, I should have been there as well!
204. Naless 2nd year Priest
No, they definitely don't need you there, though.
205. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Well, then, here I began. Though I would refrain from revealing their na on a forum, you know why.
206. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Oh, so we don't have any of those biggies this ti?
207. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Point on.
They seed to have sufficient background, but not all of them are from distinguished families.
Let's begin with the part we already know.
First of all, two of the frequent visitors to this forum have amazingly blitzed their way into the team--- First year Songstress Princess and Racoon Shielder.
208. Naless 1st year Songstress
Fufu, that's right. I managed to slide in!
I am really over the cloud.
209. Naless 1st year Raccoon Shielder
Presumptuous as it might be, I, too, have passed!
210. Naless 1st year Shielder
Guhhh!
211. Naless 2nd year Priest
Yes, thank you for letting us know you're hurt.
212. Naless 1st year Female Soldier
Ahh, my tears are streaming non-stop due to jealousy.
213. Naless 1st year rchant
It is truly an infuriating dilemma. I don't know if I should congratulate you or drown in jealousy!
214. Naless 2nd year Priest
Hold on; the option is obviously congratulations, huh, Brave fan.
Aren't you all comrades?
215. Naless 2nd year Alchemist
What comrade?
216. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
And you're already forgetting them!?
217. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Alright, take a deep breath and calm down, everyone.
They did their best.
‹Eden› isn't a place anyone can enter, so there's no doubt about their abilities.
Don't be stuck-up now, and wish them well for their work.
Congratulations, Songstress-chan, Raccoon Shielder-chan.
218. Naless 1st year Songstress
Thank you for your kind words, Investigator-senpai.
I will do my best in the ‹Eden› to stand up to everyone's jealousy.
219. Naless 1st year Raccoon Shielder
I, too! I will do my best!
220. Naless 1st year Shielder
Argh, I am jealous.
I am jealous, but do your best, both of you~
221. Naless 2nd year Alchemist
I will surely make my way there soday. Just wait for .
222. Naless 2nd year Priest
So you say, but you're definitely going there as a supporter, right!? Isn't it just your desire?
223. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Let's move on to our next nas.
In fact, there are three more Brave fans who have been recruited, though they haven't appeared in this forum.
224. Naless 1st year rchant
H-Has my ear finally started to hallucinate!?
225. Naless 1st year Female Soldier
Are you sure, Investigator-senpai!?
226. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Absolutely. They're from certain combat departnt class-1, they are even called the Harmonic Trio of Magic Equipnt girls.
I am sure they were also at a party with Songstress-chan and Raccoon Shielder-chan.
This indisputably makes them the No.1 party among 1st year Brave fans.
227. Naless 1st year Shielder
Ah, those girls!
They truly were a piece of cake with their coordination!
228. Naless 1st year rchant
All of the princess party mbers got in!?
Ugh, so there's really no way if you're not at the top!?
229. Naless 1st year Female Soldier
If they are following the rit system, doesn't that an there's a chance as long as I stand at the top?
230. Naless 3rd year Investigator
I am sure I said the sa thing. And chance? No, you will surely be accepted.
That's why you better put in double the effort than before. It should be possible after having a goal, right?
231. Naless 1st year Shielder
I-I am already fireeeeeed up!
Next ti! I will make sure to get myself into ‹Eden› in the next interview, for sure!!
232. Naless 1st year Female Soldier
Fufu. Not before !
Hurray!
233. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Woah, this sure has got everyone excited, huh?
234. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Hmm, then to the next list.
In fact, this is one of the exclusive news stories that will get you all on the fence.
After all, they're soone Brave-kun personally scouted and managed to get in without taking the mass interview.
236. Naless 2nd year Priest
Uggh!!
237. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
No one wants to hear your moaning. So pack it up, Adventurer!
238. Naless 3rd year Investigator
He has recruited 3---maybe 4---candidates this way.
One is from the E-rank guild ‹Adventures›, one is from the C-rank guild ‹Dwarf Gathering›, and the last is an apprentice from the Research Tower.
There's one more, although I am not sure about that, person from the sub-guild of the forr A-rank guild ‹Temple Saber›, ‹White Saber›.
And on a side note, all of them are girls.
239. Naless 2nd year Priest
Please hold on for a mont!
It's too much for to process, especially the last.
I sure did hear about ‹Adventures› but I didn't expect soone would be crazy enough to move out of a C-rank guild.
240. Naless 2nd year Magician
‹Dwarf Gathering› in particular is quite famous, and I have heard they're go-to for tanks and lee attackers.
They're definitely a super elite guild, and if rumors are to be believed, their actual battle power is on par with at least B, if not A-rank.
Though they have apparently taken a liking to the position of C-rank, they don't seem interested in improving their guild rank.
241. Naless 3rd Supporter
This is why they're one of the six dividers, the Immovable C-rank guild.
It's really a surprising thing for that to happen.
My gut feeling is telling I should do a bit of digging around to find out why. I have a hunch I might find sothing sensational, just like the appearance of ‹Dungeon Carriage›.
242. Naless 2nd year Priest
Oh, that's one way to look at it...
‹Eden› is mainly a combat oriented guild, so a production job mber really does feel out of place.
Just like Magician said, use the specialist if you need any, unless there's a reason to recruit, eh?
243. Naless 3rd Supporter
I have heard one of my juniors from the support departnt move out as well. Well, this isn't as odd of an issue.
The path to the top is fraught with impossibilities without our support. They certainly will need support to aim for the top.
244. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
Scribble-Scribble
245. Naless 2nd year Priest
Adventurer, you know you are soone from the support departnt. Were you skipping classes all this while?
246. Naless 3rd Supporter
But the one that needs attention is that transferee from the forr A-rank guild‹Temple Saber› in the end.
I am sure this and that uproar are highly connected.
247. Naless 2nd year Priest
The A-rank guild, huh?
It's just the other day they dropped to B-rank, so it has been fresh in my mind as well. There has been ntion of many mbers withdrawing due to that.
248. Naless 3rd Supporter
Yeah.
A majority of them have been taken in the sub-guild ‹White Saber›, but this has conversely put ‹White Saber› in jeopardy.
Fortunately, the guild master of ‹White Saber› has made a trip to many guilds to see if they can accept them, sensing the impending situation, which prevented the situation from turning chaotic.
In the end, however, it remains the fact that talents are leaving the forr A-rank guild.
249. Naless 2nd year Priest
And one of the recipients is ‹Eden›?
But there's no way it should have been possible with the protection circle of Imperial Guards and Brave fans.
I have heard they put a guard so tight that even setting an appointnt with them is impossible, much less having a eting.
How did he pull that?
250. Naless 3rd Supporter
I am not privy to the details, but the fact remains that he succeeded.
The guildmaster of ‹White Saber› truly is a gem.
I believe he must have pulled his connection.
Either way, ‹Eden› has gained another talent, this ti from a forr A-rank guild guild.
This is going to increase their battle power by quite a margin.
251. Naless 2nd year Priest
Damn it, it really feels unreal.
Will it hurt them to take a break or sothing?
252. Naless 1st year Shielder
Impossible. How and what thod did he use to break through our barricade?
253. Naless 2nd year Alchemist
What are you crying for? It was the spot I had arranged for myself by requesting Sage Rabbit-san, you know!?
And with his audacity to snatch away my spot, I will make sure he rests in the deepest part of hell.
254. Naless 3rd year Investigator
It stings, but calm down, you guys.
I received news that Brave personally visited ‹White Saber›. Maybe it was Brave who jumped in to scout the mber.
255. Naless 1st year Female Soldier
This doesn't make it any less stinging---maybe even more! Ah, my raging jealousy will never forgive them!
256. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
T-That reminds , Investigator-senpai.
All the mbers are girls, or is there a boy as well?
257. Naless 3rd year Investigator
A change of topic, huh? Nice follow up, Swordsman.
As for your answer, yes, there is. Just one, though.
He's showing a prospect of being ranked in Class-1 during the next class rotation.
258. Naless 2nd year Priest
Kuh, another freaking talent.
But one boy and 9 girls...gender ratio is as skewed as it can go.
259. Naless 1st year Sage Rabbit
You can only bla boys for staring at girls all the ti.
Everyone who did so failed.
260. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
Thud
261. Naless 2nd year Priest
Twitch
262. Naless 3rd year Trapper
Guh!
263. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Well, there you have your answers.
The only boys accepted in ‹Eden› are those sincerely aiming for the future.147. Naless 3rd year Productioner
'Sup folks. We're now officially into the exam phase.
Make sure you study properly and are aware of your duties as a student of the academy, alright?
And all the upperclassn, pay attention and be the role model that your juniors can look up at you with admiration.
148. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Hey, it's Production-senpai!
It's been yonks!
149. Naless 2nd year Productioner
So you're alive and well, huh, Senpai.
150. Naless 3rd year Productioner
Can you not please kill at your convenience, my dear junior?
Anyway, are you all listening? Make sure you study properly.
151. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
AhAh, I can't hear anything!
The noise from the monster's footsteps is drowning out all the sounds!
152. Naless 2nd year Productioner
I wonder where these monsters co from with the dungeon closed, huh?
153. Naless 2nd year Productioner
What a load of lies!
154. Naless 2nd year Magician
He's quite a crook
155. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
Hey, hey. Aren't you dissing too much!?
156. Naless 3rd year Productioner
I can understand you may want to look sideways when faced with sothing unpleasant. Right, think about how you just need to work hard for these two weeks. Just two weeks. Easy right?
157. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
I-I-Isn't that theory a bit s-s-s-skewed?
158. Naless 2nd year Productioner
Clap-Clap Truly our senior. You do know how to say so nice things.
Anyway, how's your that dungeon exploration going on?
159. Naless 3rd year Productioner
......You sure know how to change the topic, huh, my dear junior?
But I will reserve my right to comnt here.
It's ti to perform our duties as students, and we're going to focus on studying. Dungeons co after that.
160. Naless 2nd year Priest
Well, considering sumr vacation is just around the corner, which is going to bring exploration to a standstill, everyone is curious about the current situation.
Of course, I'm dying to know as well. But I guess now isn't the ti for that.
161. Naless 2nd year Magician
The wall of exams, the bigger hurdle in a student's life, is right here after all.
That said, it's not going to be easy for those who have been playing hooky on their daily revision.
162. Naless 2nd year Priest
But it's a do-or-die mont for second-year students!
They hardly have any energy left to study after going overblown in the dungeon every day and being dead tired at night.
163. Naless 2nd year Productioner
They're riding on their emotions too much.
Don't they know everything---even training---needs to be done in moderation and digested properly? They really haven't learned their lesson by going through it every day.
But we have also gotten a huge windfall following their enthusiasm.
Everyone, thank you for your patronage, and co again. Okay?
164. Naless 2nd year Priest
Hrgggh!
I-I think this is the end of .
I am no longer in the state of studying or clearing dungeons.
165. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Get a grip on yourself, Priest-san!
What the heck went down?
166. Naless 3rd year Productioner
It's also hearsay for , so no, I'm missing details as well, but it seems like a heck of a second has splurged too much on equipnt due to influence from a certain guild.
But the sudden surge in equipnt has shot up its price. A ‹Silver Chest› item now costs twice as much as it did before, and a drop of ‹Gold Chest› costs three tis as much. The market is quite blooming with the temporary economic rise.
And second-years, well, they're now scrambling to the dungeons to recoup their losses.
167. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Hold on, why does it sound like déjà vu? But, mate, I had no clue about this theater.
168. Naless 2nd year Magician
You have made the C-rank once, haven't you? Perhaps this is why.
The empty, burnout hush you're seeing now is the remnant of guilds that ‹Eden› has just overtaken.
169. Naless 2nd year Productioner
Rember, folks, the more you buy, the more you will score yourself a good bargain in this price-hike ti.
Ack, slip of the tongue. Pardon .
170. Naless 2nd year Priest
Who are you kidding with the slip of the tongue!?
Hrkk, this is just...
I thought I had found excellent pieces of equipnt, but behold my surprise when I looked at the bill. I checked it out five tis just to see if I'm not hallucinating the extra digit, you know!?
But it wasn't an illusion.
I don't even know what to do anymore with dungeons off-limits. Huh, what to do?
171. Naless 3rd year Productioner
Co on, shouldn't you be studying at this ti?
Even ‹Eden› is currently reviewing, just so you know, going so far as to hold study etings with the whole guild.
172. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
I'm so jealous, I can't stop crying.
Sniff Why did no one in my guild hold a study session?
173. Naless 2nd year Productioner
Huh? Isn't it simply that they didn't invite you?
174. Naless 2nd year Adventurer
............Say what?
.
.
.
.
533. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
The test results are out everyone!
Look at that tsunami of students; they have completely drowned the display board in themselves......
534. Naless 2nd year Priest
Free, Unfettered. Hold no desire.
Then shall the door be open for you?
535. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Priest-san!? What the fudge happened!?
536. Naless 2nd year Magician
Let that door remain closed for now, for your sake.
537. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Err, so?
Err, like......Clank (Sound of door being closed)?
538. Naless 2nd year Priest
Hck! What was I just doing!?
539. Naless 2nd year Axman
You sure have ti to joke around.
Or maybe it's because you don't have ti that you have lost so screws in your head?
Are you trying to run away from reality?
540. Naless 2nd year Priest
Don't do this, you realist! Don't chase after !
541. Naless 2nd year Magician
Just accept it for god's sake.
542. Naless 2nd year Priest
How do you want to deal with the na from the red list that jumped into my view by tricking ?
543. Naless 1st year Shielder
Hey, listen to , guys!
I have explosive news!
544. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Woah there!?
What makes you so jumpy!?
545. Naless 1st year Female Soldier
The result has just been hung for the first-year ‹Combat Departnt›. And guess what?
‹Eden› has hogged the first three top spots in the ranking!!
546. Naless 1st year Shielder
But wait, there's more to it!
The one at the top is Brave-kun! Number one! Brave-kun! issss!!!
And what's more, full marks in all subjects!!
547. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Guah.
Truly blasting news, in lots of ways!
548. Naless 1st year Sage Rabbit
Tahaha~. Well, we're truly proud.
549. Naless 1st year Songstress
You know, almost everyone had burned midnight oil, but we never saw Brave-kun studying.
I was really confused as to how it would turn out for real.
550. Naless 1st year Shielder
I-I also surprised!
I didn't expect to be in the top 300; it's thanks to their guidance!
551. Naless 2nd year Alchemist
Kuhh, just so you know, I'm not, not even a bit, mortified hearing that!
Just wait; I will have my seat there one day!
552. Naless 3rd year Investigator
We know you can do it, so now wipe your tears, Alchemist-chan.
553. Naless 2nd year Alchemist
I'm not crying!!
554. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Ohh, Investigator-senpai!
Err, I guess you have so kind of information to appear here?
555. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Oho, you have a sharp sense, Swordsman.
556. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Thanks a mil!
557. Naless 3rd year Investigator
It's not that big of a deal, though, but did you know the boys of ‹Combat Departnt Class 1-1› are currently stranded in a storm?
Half of them have bombed the exam and signed up for make-up lessons.
558. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Wut?
You can't possibly an the three horsen of first-year guilds; the ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› and ‹Machos›?
But No.1 and No.2 are shining in their full glory, though.
559. Naless 3rd year Supporter
When it rains, it pours. This has completely taken everyone by surprise.
The high horses of two of the three first-year guilds have co to an end for sure.
560. Naless 2nd year Priest
So you're saying the term-end exam was such a mammoth that it smashed away even the advancent of the first-year strongest guilds!?
We're talking about tests, right!?
What about ‹Eden› then?
561. Naless 1st year Sage Rabbit
Hmm? Of course, they all pass. No obstacle has been born yet to give ‹Eden› a run for their money.
The rest of the boys look like walking ghosts, though.
562. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Of course, that was a stupid question to be asked.
But hey, then how the heck did they miss their shot? Surely, they had what it takes to be in class 1, right?
563. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Sharp, huh, Swordsman. Alright, I will explain.
The beginning of it can be traced back to the first week of June, when ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› challenged ‹Eden› for guild battle. And after that, they were dragged away.
564. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
What a tragedy that was......
565. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Ahem, they were released safely in the night, however.
But they didn't learn their lesson and continued with their antics. Of course, repeated antics were bound to get them locked for several days. They were thoroughly lectured about common sense and morality at that ti.
As a result of missing classes for several days, they couldn't catch up to the lectures in Class-1. And I believe you all must have heard how congested the lecturers in Class-1 are.
566. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Aren't they just reaping what they sowed!?
567. Naless 1st year Sage Rabbit
Aha~. So that's why they had such a pale face for the last several days.
They were still quite rambunctious when we joined the guild, but then they suddenly turned quiet, which really felt a bit spooky.
568. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
Wait a minute. Then how co ‹Machos› too fell into this pitfall?
569. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Well, they were trying their self-designed muscle-study art. Of course, they too bombed.
570. Naless 2nd year Swordsman
I-I wonder what kind of style that was......
571. Naless 2nd year Priest
Don't let curiosity get over you, Swordsman. I doubt anything good will co from this.
If anything, you might be pulled into the abyss of...just stop.
572. Naless 3rd year Investigator
Shall I continue then?
The second-year result is truly a delight to the eyes.
573. Naless 2nd year Priest
Heavens above, can you not, Investigator-senpai!?
My HP... is already zero!!
---Arc 8 - Over---
T/N - Well, this wasn't a big arc. And I really wondered how the hell the quartet was so quiet. Behind every man's quietness lies an unfortunate circumstance? xD.
