The Girl with Flax Colored Hair

"A special promotion test!?"

"Wait what's that?"

It was at the counter of the summoner's guild.

Today, there were a significant number of summoners bustling around.

Their next request came on the day right after they had finished their mushroom gathering.

It came, but...

Rinna was confused by the receptionist's sudden proposal.

Right behind her, Rei was happily looking on.

"We have received a report from the knights regarding the case of the subjugation of 2 Orthrus."

The receptionist then began her explanation with a troubled look on her face.

Even if it was reliable information which came from the knights, a C-class summoner defeating 2 Orthrus was still something quite hard to believe after all.

In actuality, the one who killed them was Rei.

That was the reason for Rinna's hesitation.

Even if she had a chance to be raised to the B class, she felt that it would not have suited her.

"Normally, one would have to consistently complete C rank requests before being promoted to the B rank. However, if they can be seen to have potential, they can also be promoted to the B rank by taking the promotion test."

"A promotion test huh... what should we do..."

The one who was most aware that they were still lacking in power was Rinna.

Rinna was contemplating if should they reject the offer.

"In addition, as this test involves venturing to dangerous grounds, an A class summoner will be accompanying you."

An A-class summoner... After those words left her lips, Rinna's expression changed.

Her hands on the counter, she pushed herself forward.

"We can go along with A-Class summoners!?"

"Yes, you will"

"We'll accept it!"

Surprised by her instantaneous decision, Rei asked Rinna.

"Rinna, weren't you going to decline it?"

"If we can go with an A class, then it's a different story. It'll give us a lot more experience than going alone."

If they were able to learn from the A class, the amount of experience they would gain as compared to learning on their own was immeasurable.

The problem was her accepting it so casually.

"In that case, here are the details of the promotion test."

What was shown on the request form was 'The capture of 10 Bolt lizards'.

The completion reward was that of 50 thousand G, quite a high one.

Along with that was the difficulty of the request.

The area would be at the thunderous mountain ranges of Nizbel.

"It's a pretty far off place. Just travelling there would take us about 2 days."

The receptionist took out a box containing 10 clear gems and put them on the table.

"These will be your funds. The travel expenses will be paid in full by the guild. We will contact the accompanying summoner, so please meet them at the capital's east entrance carriage park."
