Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard

EP12. From the beginning again (2)

“Shaun.”

“·······.”

“Shaun!”

The boy slowly opened his eyes at the sound calling him.

When Sean opened his eyes, the world was colored in a beautiful blue-green light.

“Wake up.”

“····Levy?”

Awakening his hazy mind, Sean looked around for a moment.

The scenery inside the narrow carriage that I had become accustomed to watching over and over for days caught my eye.

“What’s up?”

I felt very uncomfortable with the rattling carriage, but as I continued to live inside, I got used to it and fell into a deep sleep.

It was Sean who realized that adaptability is amazing.

“I heard they will arrive soon.”

“····Really? Has it already happened?”

Unlike Sean, who was somewhat bored with the idea that his life in the carriage was finally over, Levy did not hide his excitement and showed it on the outside.

Thinking about it now, I was caught up in a lot of strange things. It’s a city’s quarrel, it’s a witch’s child. But I had hopes that this time it would be different.

He finally achieves the life of an adventurer he has been thinking of. Levi longed for that moment to come any sooner.

After reading Levy’s mind, Shawn laughed and made a fuss.

“Yes. Anyone who sees it will think you dreamed of being an adventurer when you were young.”

“Huh. If that’s the case, you’d think Sean read the love story?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Why do love stories come out of nowhere?

Sean asked her question, but Levy kept her mouth shut and refused to explain.

The girl just gave a surprised expression.

How can I say that? She had shaken her own heart so well that she couldn’t tell even if she died.

Of course, Sean didn’t notice Levy’s inner feelings and just scratched her cheek.

“Oh, that must be Henerd.”

Then, seeing the view outside her window, Sean called for Levy and pointed her finger at her. At that, Levy immediately took an interest in her and turned his eyes to her window.

“Wow. At las! . . . But this town seems a bit small.”

“Well, the cities we went to must be very big.”

Not to mention Ellioden, one of the most famous cities in the kingdom, and Rhaeth was also quite large considering its remote location.

On the other hand, I realized that Henerd is definitely small compared to the two cities.

As the carriage entered the inner city, the difference was certainly felt more unfamiliar.

“I have arrived.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

Sean and Levy thanked the driver and got out of the wagon.

The two arrived in Henerd to start a new adventure.

***

“Then what should I do first?”

“Um… Wouldn’t it be nice to find a place to stay?”

“Then. Unpack your luggage.”

Sean and Levy first asked a passer-by to find a place to stay.

“Hey, I’m looking for an inn. Can you tell me?”

The passer-by looked up and down the faces of the two boys and girls who were talking to them and threw a word.

“Are you adventurous?”

“Yes? Yes. By the way.”

“If you go on an adventure, don’t go to the inn, go to the association. I am also staying there.”

“Uh… Thank you····?”

The passer-by gave a brief reply and left without hearing Sean’s thanks.

Levy muttered to Sean as he stared blankly at her man’s back as she left.

“You don’t tell me where the Association is…”

“You will find it soon. ····Maybe.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before they found the Adventurers’ Association.

Is this a city where adventurers are active? Even compared to Laes, it seemed that there were more people than not.

Sean and Levy made their way through the crowd into the Society. The scenery inside the building was quite different from Laes. Most of all, there were a lot of people eating and drinking because there were several tables on the first floor, probably because it served as an overnight stay.

The two of them moved forward to the counter. After waiting in a long line, it was finally my turn to speak with the guide.

The guide greeted us with a friendly smile.

“Hello. What brought you to the association?”

“That, we came here for the first time here at Henerd…”

“I see. Are you registered as an adventurer?”

Admiring the receptionist’s effortless response, Shawn nodded his head shyly.

“Yes.”

“Then could you show me your adventurer badge?”

Sean and Levy took out the badges they were carrying and handed them to the guide.

Confirming the simple personal information written on the certificate, the guide asked to confirm.

“Sean and Levy from Laes. Is that right?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Shaun-sama is a swordsman, and Levy-sama is… Are you a wizard? Wow····.”

I wonder if it was not easy to see the wizard, even the guide who was so calm lost his words and fell into admiration for a moment.

Well, that’s why you don’t see any magicians except for Levi in Laes, and that’s probably why Elioden, the city of magic, is so famous.

“Yes. Mr. Sean, Mr. Levy. Your adventurer status has been confirmed. Welcome to Henerd.”

“Thank you. Well, I heard that you can stay here at the Association…”

To Sean’s question, the guide nodded and explained.

“Yes. That’s right. Since it is a service for adventurers, you can stay at a much cheaper price than other inns.”

“Then I’ll ask for two rooms.”

“Okay. Wait a minute.”

The guide, who was diligently checking something, immediately raised his head and began to laugh with a frustrated expression.

“I… What should I do?”

“Yes? Why?”

“I only have one room left…”

For some reason, I felt deja vu. I’m sure he must have gone through something similar in Laes, but is it just a simple illusion?

No. It’s not an illusion, it’s definitely the same thing happened again.

Of course, there were other points as well.

“Then I’ll take that room.”

“Are you okay? Of course, if you’re in a relationship…”

From noble mtl dot com.

“Yes. Are you okay.”

“·······.”

Levi, who was beside her, just lowered her head and kept her silent.

Seeing that, the receptionist smiled happily and handed Sean the key.

“You can use the second room on the right.”

“Thank you.”

“Two minutes. Get along well.”

“·······.”

At that time, Levy led Sean, but this time it was different that it was the other way around.

Of course, it was the same as before that both of their faces were flushed.

***

“Then I think I have unpacked my luggage, what should I do now?”

“Hmm. You can take a day off today, or you can go hunting for monsters right away… What do you want Sean to do?”

At Levy’s question, Sean compared the two options.

Actually, whichever one I chose was fine, but if I had to choose, would it be the latter?

“Looks like I’ll be fine going hunting right away. I’m taking a break. You can do it anytime after you return from hunting, right?”

“Isn’t it? Then, are you going to catch it right away?”

“Let’s do it. Also, it’s been a while since I’ve caught a monster.”

Now that the decision has been made, there is no reason to delay. The two just unpacked and came back down immediately.

The guide smiled and asked if he had already gotten used to the faces of the two.

“Yes. What are you doing?”

“But we want to start hunting monsters right away.”

“Oh, I see. But I’m not involved in hunting monsters.”

Sean was taken aback by the completely unexpected answer. If the Adventurers Association wasn’t involved in monster hunting, where would it be?

Sean, who soon regained his composure, calmly asked the guide.

“Then where can I do it?”

“To hunt monsters, you can use the bulletin board over there. The guides at the counter, including myself, are involved in subjugation, not hunting monsters.”

Hunting and Subjugation. Looking at the two, it seems that there is a difference.

The important thing is that Sean doesn’t really know the difference between the two words.

“What is the difference between hunting and subjugation?”

“Oops. Didn’t you hear the explanation when you first registered as an adventurer?”

“Ha ha ha… That is····.”

Coming to think of it, when I registered as an adventurer in Raes, it was pretty outdated. It was a bit strange to think about it now that participation in monster subjugation gave you qualifications.

“Monster hunting is a mission that Bronze and Silver level adventurers can receive. Subjugation is more than that, it’s a mission that only gold-level adventurers are qualified for. Of course, subjugation is much more difficult.”

“Aha. That’s it.”

Realizing the concept, Sean thanked the guide and headed to the bulletin board.

The two carefully checked the requests written on the bulletin board one by one.

Levy picked out one that caught his eye and showed it to Sean.

“How about this?”

“Um…”

Sean read the request Levy showed him.

[Hunting Goblins]

– Details: Hunt 30 goblins in the Henerd area.

– Reward: 60 silver coins.

– Number of people: 1/3

“A goblin…”

A goblin is a known monster.

Monsters are usually divided into two types. Known monsters and unknown monsters.

The criterion for each classification is determined by whether it is recorded in the monster encyclopedia.

The monster encyclopedia, which has been handed down from a long time ago, whose author is unknown, contains important information that summarizes the names, characteristics, and appearance of numerous monsters.

But there were also monsters that were not written in the encyclopedia. Such guys are often called unknown monsters.

Known monsters often include goblins, slimes, ogres, and trolls.

Unknown monsters include Umbra and Orchi Magna, the people Shawn and Levy met.

Although each individual is different, usually a lot of information about unknown monsters is released, so unknown monsters that are closer to the unknown are often evaluated as more threatening.

“If we can catch goblins, it will be easy, right?”

“Perhaps…? I’ve never met him, so I can’t be sure, but…”

Although goblins are usually classified as the weakest of all monsters, it was ironic that Sean and Levy never met as they continued their adventure.

After reading the contents of the request, the moment I thought it would be okay, Levy pointed out a part of the request and talked.

“But looking at the number of people, there seems to be only one.”

“Really? I think someone has already applied.”

“So we can’t do it…?”

“Hmm. Maybe that’s not it? . . . In case you don’t know, let’s ask and come.”

I went to the receptionist and asked him, and it was as Sean thought.

“Yes. One person has already applied and two can apply. If you want to do this quest, write your name on the back page and confirm the location and date.”

“Aha. There was also content on the back page. Thank you.”

Following the guide’s words, I turned the request form over and there was a location and time for the party to gather if the request was accepted, and there was a space below it to write a name.

“Looks like you can write your name here.”

“I think the name of the person we will be traveling with is Judas!”

“Sure. Are you a good person?”

Sean and Levy wrote their names neatly.

– Judas

– Levi

– Sean

“For some reason, my heart is beating.”

“So. I feel like a real adventurer now.”
