Chapter 248: Easy Test

“So, what kind of test do you want us to take?” I asked the guild master.

“Before I decide on the test, I want you to fill this form.”

The guild master gives me a paper. In it, I need to write the name of the clan, the leader, and all the starting members of the clan along with their hunter rank.

I let Kayla write it down. I forgot to discuss the name of the clan last night.

And she didn’t disappoint. She wrote a name that I can agree to say that it’s much better than if I’m the one who think about the name.

Kayla returned the paper to the guild master, and he checked the content of the paper.

“The name of the clan is “Wolf’s Crown” is that right?” The guild master asked.

.....

“It’s a temporary name. But it might be permanent as well.” Kayla answered.

Wolf doesn’t have a crown. Rooster has. But I think Kayla mean it’s about me becoming the Werewolf King. She thought that Wolf’s Crown is a good idea. We’ll discuss it later with the others.

“And the leader is Roy, a B-ranked hunter.”

“That’s me.”

“And the members are... three E-rank hunters and an S-rank hunter!?”

The guild master was shocked when he saw the rank of the clan’s members.

“That’s right. One of the three E-rank hunters has just awakened her element. As for the two E-rank hunters, although they have just registered, they are powerful mages. And the S-rank hunter is a solo hunter.” I explained.

“Why is the S-rank hunter not the leader? Or at least the A-rank one?”

“Majority votes.”

“I see. Well, if majority of your members decided that you are fit to be the leader, then I will accept this. As for any new members, once you admitted them into your clan, you have to report it within one month since they joined you.”

“Okay.”

The guild master then continues explaining about what the clan should do. It’s basically what we already know, so Kron got bored of it and already sleeping.

After he finished explaining, I guess it’s time for the test.

“So, what kind of test do we need to do before we take the quest?”

“Just a friendly match. One of you will have to fight someone I have chosen. She’s in the guild right now, so we can do it now. As for the location, let’s do it in the open area north of the city. Please wait for me over there while I go get the opponent you will be facing.”

“Just one person?” I asked.

“Yes. And you must survive for fifteen minutes against her.”

“Survive? Not winning?” I asked again.

The guild master didn’t answer and just smiled. I guess it’s just a survival for fifteen minutes. That’s easy!

Then, the guild master asked us to leave first while he gets our opponent. I can see who she is. She’s an old white-haired lady. I think she looks familiar, so I’ll ask Kayla about her.

“Kayla, the opponent seems to be an old white-haired woman. And even though the guild master know that Kron is an S-rank hunter, the test is just for one of us to fight and survive for fifteen minutes. Probably that woman is also an S-rank hunter. Do you know her?”

“An old woman? Maybe she’s Nana.” Kayla replied.

“What do you know about her?”

“Do you remember Gladius? That got caved in inside the dungeon and need us to help them out? She was the leader of that party. Although that party is now disbanded after that event. Since then, she moves alone. But there’s a rumor that she wants to rebuild Gladius again and started recruiting female hunters. She only ever accepted female hunters.” Kayla explained.

“Oh, right. They’re also the one who saved Jewel’s village from bandits, right? Should we let Jewel have a go with her then? But I think the guild master would prefer if I’m the one going. Get Sonia to call the others so they can watch the test if they want to. Well, the result is obvious after all.”

I told Kayla to call Sonia. Then, Sonia will call the others to watch the test.

I can still see the guild while we’re walking out of the city. The guild called that Nana while everyone is interested as well. I think there will be many audiences watching the fight.

If Nana is the one we saved back then, that mean she knows that Victoria is a talking slime. And she probably knows that I’m fighting close combat if her former party member that I forgot her name told Nana about me before they were disbanded.

Well, it doesn’t matter to me. Even if everyone knows that Victoria can talk, no one will expect that she used to be human.

Soon, we arrive at the plain outside the city. There are few traces of battle here. I guess this is the place where the test for clan creation will be.

After waiting for a while, the guild master and Nana arrive. They brought a lot of hunters who want to watch the fight. Then behind them, I can see Angela and the others coming this way.

“So, who will take the test?” Angela asked.

“I will. I think this is also a test from the guild master as well. Although I told you guys about the test, I think this test will be boring to watch.”

“Master! That’s Nana! I know her! Can I fight instead?” Jewel asked. She seems to be interested in showing that Nana how strong she has become.

She has just awakened her magic a few days ago. No matter how good her magic is, it’s impossible for her to win.

“No need. This test is not about winning, but more in completing a quest given. That’s what a hunter is. Completing a quest given to them. Not defeating the opponent. If the guild master told us that we will have to defeat her, I will ask the other to do it. But for survival, anyone can do it. For now, I want you to keep your beastform as a secret. There are too many people watching.” I said to Jewel.

But it seems like the guild master heard about it as well since he smiled. I guess I was right that this is about completing a quest given by him, which is to survive for fifteen minutes.

Then both Nana and I walked to the middle of the plain, surrounded by the hunters interested in watching.

“It has been a while. I forgot to thank you for saving us back then.” Nana greeted me first.

“No problem. I also have forgotten about you. I’m sorry about my terrible memory.”

Hearing my reply, Nana fumed in anger. That’s the art of provocation. Once the enemy is provoked, their attack will be easier to read.

Before the test started, I summoned Victoria in front of me in her Slime form. Even though this is the talking monster that saved her before, Nana ignores her and instead preparing to cast her magic as soon as the match start.

“If you two are ready, then we will begin the match shortly. Are you ready?” The guild master acted as the referee.

Nana and I just nodded at his word.

“Then, the test begins now!”

Nana quickly put her hands forward as she tried to attack me right away, but I’m faster than her.

As soon as the guild master announced that the test begun, I kicked the Black Slime in front of me toward Nana.

Then, as soon as Victoria is in front of Nana, she transformed into a giant ball to block her vision.

And when Victoria touched her, Victoria enveloped Nana and trapped her inside the ball. There’s nothing she can do inside of the ball.

“Done! Do we need to wait fifteen minutes? I don’t think she can do anything else anymore.” I asked the guild master.

“Yes. You are right that the test is about completing a quest. I told you to survive for fifteen minutes, so we will wait for fifteen minutes.” The guild master said.

“I think it’s best if you stop the test right now. As you can see, she can no longer able to do anything else. And more importantly, I attacked her trauma instead of her body.”

“Her trauma?”

After remembering about Nana from Kayla, I know that she has a trauma about stuck in a closed space. It’s called Claustrophobia. It’s an intense fear of being in a crowded area, or in a locked space.

I remember her and her party being caved in under the earth. And I also remember how I get them out. I had Victoria caged her party to be inside of her, and I threw took them out.

Being inside of Victoria again, she must have remembered how it is like being locked in a tight space again, and how the shaking inside of Victoball after I threw them out from the underground.

“Let me out! Let me out! I can’t stand being here! Get me out of here!”

And as I expected, she’s panicked. Her trauma resurfaced after being trapped inside Victoball again.

I think Victoria is trying to calm her down by talking, but she’s too panicked. If we continue like this, she will faint soon.

“It’s over! Get her out! You passed!” The guild master shouted.

“There’s still fourteen minutes more though? Did I really pass?”

“Yes, you passed! Just get her out already!”

I let Nana out, and she instantly fainted. That was too easy.

Kayla quickly approached her and casted healing magic on her.

“Was that necessary?” The guild master asked me angrily.

“Yes. This test is not just about the completion of the quest, right? You also want to test the ability of the leader. Especially since I’m not the highest ranked in the clan. You want to see what I can do. So, if it was the anyone else who will step forward other than me, you will fail the test no matter the result is. So, I stepped forward, and show you how decisive I am as a leader and why I’m the perfect leader of the clan. It’s also to show every hunter here that my clan is not something they need to mess with. So, how’s the result?”

“...they are all perfect A’s. Including cruelty. Let’s go back to the guild now and I will show you the quest you need to take to be able to build a clan.”

With that, the test is over. Anyone else other than me should be able to survive for just fifteen minutes, but I figured out what the guild master is thinking. That’s why I choose to step forward this time.

Now, what kind of quest will he show us? I don’t think it will be as easy as this test.

But... I think I stood out too much in this test. Well, at least there’s no cult members among everyone watching. And I haven’t used my Aura at all. Even if I stand out here, I think everyone will forget about me once the clan is established, and we complete many difficult quests. They will end up start talking about my other members since I will rarely take a quest.
