Master Of None

"As I said before, we need to make sure that the standards for raising someone's adventurer tier are upheld. If we just allow anyone to rise we can have underdeveloped adventurers that face dangerous monsters." Clara was having the meeting with her head staff members again t make sure she really hit home the new system that focused on heroic points. 

"We understand that. But the heroe points make it so that a low level adventurer can constantly do easy tasks like delivering letters or herb gathering to raise their tier. They won't be able to handle the outside world." The head staff member for the first floor of the adventurers' guild in Genesis was younger but still had a lot of experience. Just like Clara, the man had worked in the guild his entire life. 

"That is where our staff members come in to give tests for each tier. I even have the hero party I managed at a lower tier. Although I'm not sure the tiers matter anymore when they are concerned. But my point remains the same. We need to administer fair tests in the form of quests they do not expect. If they want to rank up to a higher tier they should have their skills challenged. I also want to see their morals and loyalty tested in some way. For example, if they have focused on herb gathers then I want them sent after a weak monster with valuable materials. It tests their loyalty to a party since they handle valuable materials, their combat, and the ability to adapt to something they are not used to." 

"Understood. That brings me to the next matter, how will we handle multiple guild affiliations? There is the new alchemy guild, the crafting guild, and even rumors of a magic tower to be constructed. That doesn't even consider the tamers' guild and whatever else may form in time." The staff members all appeared worried about this matter. Having too many affiliations could cause a tangled mess of rules and regulations. 

"I refuse to limit our members. But I will happily work with the city leadership to create an identification plate. If we have the right runes engraved in the right patterns it can act as a plaque that holds multiple membership information." Realization came to their faces as they remembered the dwarf and elf craftsmen that had left Clara's office recently. 

"That sounds very good. If any guild comes to an impasse with another then we can bring it to the court that will be formed by the city leadership. It will be easier that way to keep things organized. That just leaves membership recruitment on the list." Everyone knew that there would be a flood of young adventurers as soon as the guild officially opened. That and there would be those that wished to rank up their tier as soon as possible since the wait time at other branches could be weeks or months depending on the time of year. 

"Don't worry about that. When the party I manage is back they will be working on the first batch of new adventurers. They will test them in the training fields while we slowly go through a written test and paperwork. It should take some of the weight off the new employees under you. If I remember Gil has an archers academy he wants to start. He may try to move it in to a guild but I believe he is better to partner with us. That way the magic tower can also partner with us. That gives archers and mages routes to learn outside of the guild. It also sets the precedents that adventurers can go elsewhere to learn and return for quests." 

Clara had spent a great deal of her time writing these plans and properly setting up the way it would progress. If she did not do so then there would be a lot of new adventurers running about without proper education. This could lead to the adventurers' guild facing fines and even more issues. 

"That should be it for our daily meeting. Please report in early tomorrow. Also, Clara, Barry arrived earlier and wants to speak with you." The man acting as the first floor manager handed a copy of his notes to Clara before ushering out the rest of the managers and head staff members. Barry soon walked in after they had left. 

"Looks pretty nice. I would say you are ready to open. I can't say Ibis is too happy you ditched him for this though. But I will be taking over as the guild master there shortly. Not that I will let him back away so soon" Barry had come to check on Clara since Ibis was still out of shape after his battle against Pride. 

"Of course you came to see things. You've known me since I was barely able to see over the desk. If you didn't come I would have to ban you from this guild branch." Clara hugged Barry and started to give him a tour. 

The two caught up and Barry seemed very happy to hear of the new implementation of rules and regulations. He also liked that the adventurers' guild was leading the effort to forge new trading routes and roads with the merchants. It would bring the adventurers' guild closer to those that purchased their materials. 

"You should know that the border is getting rougher. Apparently after hearing that demons were rescued and given rights the cruel leaders in demon villages have been trapping their people so they would not try and escape. The guild will be brought in to it sooner than we expected. Just be ready." Barry left Cara after the tour with this. He wanted to see the rest of the city before the stressful workdays arrived. He too needed to prepare to free the demons.
