The world's strongest S-class adventurer, known as the Thunder Emperor, shows his power without restraint and becomes a warrior in the Academy of Magic - Chapter 10

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

In the southwest part of the royal capital Radamus.

A huge building located exactly opposite to the Regulus Academy of Magic.

The headquarters of the Adventurer’s Guild, the headquarters of the Adventurer’s Guild.

It is the headquarters of the Adventurer’s Guild, the headquarters of the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Hey …… that mask ……”

“‘Thunder Emperor’ ……!”

“He’s the youngest person I’ve ever seen.”

“I saw him in combat before, but that ain’t no S-Class.”

I can hear the gossip in my mouth.

The content varies from a favorable view of my abilities to a skeptical one, on the contrary.

The reaction at Adventurer’s Headquarters isn’t much different from that of the Lowood Chapter. ……

It’s not just the fact that it’s a good idea to have a good time, but it’s also the fact that it’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for.

“I’m sure most of them would recognize the ‘Thunder Emperor’ of Lowood ……. You are very popular.”

“…… who is this?”

The man who called out to me is a dark-haired man with a large sword in his hand, holding a bag of money in his hand.

One of his eyes is hidden by his bangs, and his face is full of confidence.

“Oh my goodness, you don’t know me at ……. I’m Keith. I’ve been called the “Dragonslayer” by the people. Just like your ‘Thunder Emperor’.”

“So, you’re an S-class too …….”

“Oh, come on, you don’t know what a dragon-slayer is?”

Keith turns his body upside down in an exaggerated manner to show me that he was astonished that I still didn’t know his name even though he told me his name.

“Sorry ……. But ‘dragonslayer’, I’ll remember that.”

Keith shrugged.

“Hey, don’t mention it. It’s not like you’re the youngest or the fastest or any other kind of foil. It’s understandable that you don’t know that.”

“…… Right. Sorry.”

“Don’t sorry me… I’m sure you are the youngest or the most powerful sorcerer in the world, but I’m not going to let you be the most powerful S-class adventurer in the world.

“Oh, hey ……, Keith and Van are talking!”

‘S-grade Keith! Hey, look who’s here. Does Keith give a shit about the Thunder Emperor?”

Apparently, Keith is quite famous too.

If you ask Nina, she’ll tell you immediately that she knows. …… Well, this guy doesn’t seem to be a sorcerer, but …….

“It’s a good thing you’re here because you’re going to sit down in the royal capital and aim for the SS class, right?　Sorry, but I’m the first one to move up to the SS level.　–I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that we’ve made some friendly friends. I’m looking forward to working with you.”

Then Keith holds out his right hand to me.

So that’s what this is.

“I’d say hello to you at ……,”

“What, like a lone wolf? I’m not trying to deny your principles in any way, but a handshake would be nice.　You never know what’s in store for you in the adventurer’s industry. There’s no harm in having company, even if you’re usually solo.”

”No, I’m not, …… I didn’t come to headquarters to try to make it to SS level.”

“Huh?”

“I’m here to apply for a leave of absence from the adventurer’s business.”

“W…………what!?”

Keith’s shoulders slumped disappointedly and he left the guild headquarters with a look of dismay.

Apparently, he was quite looking forward to my participation in the S class.

It was a bad idea, but well, it couldn’t be helped.

”Mr. Van, this way.”

“Yeah.”

The receptionist shows me to a luxurious room at the back of the guild headquarters.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]　

At the desk in the back, a beautiful blonde woman sits at the desk, staring at me.

Adventurer’s Guild, the head of the guild – Cordillia Chevalio.

“So you are the Thunder Emperor.”

“Yeah.”

“I mean, what kind of adventurer would keep rejecting our advances? And now you’re finally making the S grade and coming to King’s Landing.”

Cordillia drops the piece of paper I just submitted to her on the desk with a flutter.

“Application for Leave of Absence from Adventurer Business….. Totally, do you think I’m being silly?”

“I didn’t mean to. I’ve got other things to do. Nothing is a permanent absence.”

“Haha. ……. There are currently 32 S-class adventurers in our country and 7 SS-class adventurers. …… That’s not a lot. I’ve heard about your achievements. You’ll be able to find out more about the following: single-handedly defeating the Red Dragon, single-handedly defending the village of Laci, clearing out a pack of mutant goblins, defeating Arachne in the forest of Lanka, et cetera …… countless feats. To tell you the truth, it is very distressing to let you go now in the form of a leave of absence.”

Saying that, Cordillia sighs deeply.

It looks like she was relying on my power so much.

“I’m sure you’ll find a lot of noblemen who have already nominated you for the …… truth is, there are a lot of noblemen who have already nominated you. I’m sure you’ll be able to find out more about this. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a lot of good reasons for this.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. I would have asked for time off right away, but various things have delayed me. I would appreciate it if you would politely decline their request.”

”You’re really not intimidated. You’re an impressive piece of equipment, being able to carry yourself even when you know you’re dealing with the head of the guild.”

“That’s the way it’s done.”

Cordillia ruffled her hair and slowly crossed her arms.

“Is there any room for debate?”

“No.”

“–…… Phew. Convincing you is going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. That’s okay. It’s good to know it’s not indefinite. I’ll accept your request for a leave of absence. But if you have something critical, I may need your help. Can you be sure of that?”

“…… All right. I’ll make it clear that if the request is so urgent, I’ll respond to the call–may be.”

“Oh, dear…… Got it. I don’t know where you’ll be stopping off to, but I’m hoping you’ll be back as soon as possible.”

I finished my application for closure and left the guild headquarters.

Now I will no longer be an adventurer from today. I’ve been doing quests in this outfit for a long time. It’s a strange feeling to think that I won’t be wearing this outfit for a while.

I walk into an alleyway close to the guild headquarters and take off my mask in an unpopulated area.

I stare at the scratched and smudged masks and get a little emotional.

“Phew …… you’ve had a long hard time. Just wait until I get back on. The day will come when you’ll be able to wear it again–“

And then I feel someone following me behind me and I put my mask back on.

“…… who are you?”

“Oh, uh, …… Va, Mr. Van ……!”

“What are you?”

“Yes, sir!　Um, um, …….”

When I turned around, I saw a girl standing there.

Medium blonde hair, a bit petite, but her body was growing fast.

Is she about the same age as me?

“Wow, my name is Clarice Rutherford. ……!　I’m a Class A adventurer!”

That’s quite an A grade …… at about the same age.

Did she get an A grade at the same time I got an S grade?

“What’s a Class A adventurer doing here?　I can’t believe you’re following me to the alley.”

“I’m sorry!　No!　Um, that …… I’m a fan of Mr. …… Van!”

Clarice squeezed her eyes shut and said so vigorously.

“Fan ……?”

“Yes ……!　Master Van is my dream!”

“Yeah?”

“Um, can I shake your hand……?”

“Yeah.”

I quickly put out my hand and shake it with Clarice.

Clarice is ecstatic, savoring the firm handshake and smiling a happy smile.

“Can we go now ……?”

“Oh, yes!　Um, thank you ……!　I saw you at headquarters and thought I might not see him again, so I came after you.”

“Can I see you again?”

What?

I’m sure I’ve only told Keith and the General Manager that I’m applying for a leave of absence…….

”Yes ……. I’m a bit of a stretch …… and I’ve decided to relearn at the Academy of Magic …….”

No way…….

“Regulus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?”

“Yes. I wanted to catch up with Master Van as soon as possible. ……! I wanted to be on your shoulders!　I thought if I learned a few things at the academy, I might be able to catch up!　Because I couldn’t see myself growing any further as an adventurer.”

“…………”

”Oh, I know you might think the Academy of Magic and Wizardry is a trivial thing for Master Van to do, but …….”

“Not really.”

“I knew you were a nice guy. I really respect you. ……!　Um, next time I see you again, can I …… umm…… ha, hug?”

“…………”

“Oh, no, it’s good!”

Clarice’s face turns bright red and she starts to fume and temper.

What the hell is …… a complete worshipper? ……. I don’t mean to be that active, but …….

“Anyway, I’m glad I met you.”

“Oh. That’s good, then.”

“Yes! So that’s it for me, I’ll be cheering you all the way ……!”

With that, Clarice ran off.

I guess she also took the magic academy …… A level, so it’s unlikely that she’s failed.

I hope it won’t be …… troublesome.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
