The New Way

“Where did you get this amount of money?”

The old man who received the money said with his eyes wide open.

He was the owner of an inn in the capital for adventurers.

However, one of the long-term stayers who had been behind the rent for more than a few months made a large sum of money at once.

“Isn’t it that I brought any bonds anywhere?”

“No, this time, the commission fee has come in largely. I shouldn't have been pushed back in the first place, but I'm sorry.”

"Ah. No, it won't.”

“Then, let’s go up first.”

Loen went up to the room, leaving the stupid innkeeper behind.

Upon returning to the capital after completing the mission, he handed the goods to the client and received the commission.

The reward for the D-rank quest was never small, and by selling Aggaras's eyes, I was able to touch a pretty thick amount.

Thanks to this, he was able to pay the rent.

Of course, it wasn't all paid off yet, but there was still something left behind, but he managed to extinguish the urgent fire.

Rattle!

Loen entered the room through a door that was already open.

On the other side, Feria was sitting in a chair leaning obliquely.

"Has the money problem solved?"

“Yes, thanks. Although not completely resolved.”

There are still a lot of debts borrowed from banks, and it hasn't changed that he has been kicked out of the guild.

In order to earn living expenses and pay off the interest on debt, I had to make money by solving personal requests for the time being.

“Isn’t it okay to just talk about the contract with me? No one of my contractors was struggling with money.”

“No, I can't.”

Loen said firmly.

As she said, the spirits were very rare, and if they revealed that they had a contract with an intermediate spirit, the surrounding guilds would be overturned.

However, it was not yet the time to inform the surroundings.

Even if he signed a contract with an intermediate spirit, Loen was only a beginner who could not use his proper strength yet.

It could have been exploited or targeted by the poor.

Even though his swordsmanship skills were poor, he had already had a few years of adventurer career, so he knew well about the world going back.

Even in the world of adventurers who only looked great from a distance, on the one hand, they were well aware of how dirty numbers went.

'If that's the case, it means that you have to develop your skills now.'

In order to fully bring out the spirit's potential, it was necessary to raise the qualities as a spirit soldier.

The problem he is currently aware of was his nasty'Mana amount'.

Even in the battle with Agaras, which was not so long, the leg strength was completely relieved, so increasing the amount of mana so that he could handle the spirit magic was an urgent need.

“Feria, how can a spirit man increase his mana?”

“Usually, I have to meditate to increase it. Sometimes I drink some elixir or something, but... Wait, you don't think it's all if you increase the mana amount, right?”

“Then what more do you need?”

"Sigh."

Feria, holding her forehead, sighed.

There were three representative competencies required for quantitative companies.

The first is a'mana amount' for the maintenance and use of magic.

Second,'affinity' to pass spirits and easily handle each attribute.

And the third was the'sensitivity' that differentiates the skill level of spirit art.

The higher this sensitivity, the more the potential of the contracted spirit could be brought out outside the realm, and it was the most direct factor that divided the spirit's ability.

To increase the sensitivity to the spirits, there was no choice but to build a long battle experience with the spirits or to make many contracts.

Therefore, in general, apprentice spirits enter into numerous contracts with the lowest level spirits, and go through a preliminary preparation process that increases their sensitivity over the years.

Unlike other spirits, the lowest-level spirits are in elemental form, so they did not suffer a lot from contracting due to their faint ego.

Of course, it was a fault that the combat power was so low that it was meaningless to one or two of them.

However, for the spirits, the lowest-level spirits were just the steps they went through in the first place.

It was meaningful to be able to prepare to contract with the parent entity.

If they succeed in signing a contract with a lower spirit, they willingly invest several years since the power they can exert and the treatment they receive will be completely different.

Then Loen, listening to her story, opened her mouth.

“Then, if I want to increase my responsiveness, do I have to do training while contracting with the lowest level spirits?”

“No, what have you just heard. That method takes over years. That's the time it takes to tame the lower spirits, assuming that they are talented.”

Feria's standards were, of course, much higher than the lower spirits.

I couldn't even estimate how many periods of training would be needed.

“Then what do you ask me to do?”

“We're going to go a little faster. Originally, if you had the sensitivity, you couldn't even use basic magic. But when you fight monsters, you use your strength without any problems, right?”

"Come to think of it… … .”

In the battle with Agoras, I remembered myself, who used spirit magic familiarly.

It is so famous that no one knows that the training process of spirits is terribly difficult.

Originally, tremendous training was required to elicit that much power.

“The moment you signed a contract with me, your sensitivity was also affected.”

“At least one contract… … ?”

“Ha! Barely. What do you think of a contract with an intermediate spirit? Even if you bring hundreds of the lowest level spirits, you'll only get a snout.”

This is the first case that transcends all previous processes and signs a contract with an intermediate spirit.

Loen, who had never gone through training at all, was sensitized just by signing a contract with Feria, resulting in that much power.

“I don't need a little guy. You'll have to sign up with higher guys to make a noticeable change. It usually makes no sense, but... You have a blessed talent, so it won't be very difficult.”

Peria said, pointing her finger at Loen's chest.

The ultimate affinity of his magic.

It was an area of talent that others couldn't get even if they wanted to get it, and it was also the most difficult ability to get as a spiritsman.

“Yes, I see… But why are you so cooperative?”

Loen asked her positive attitude.

He struggled to die and made him barely bent, but he couldn't even think of helping out like this.

Then Feria shouted and said.

“You are the worst contractor of my life! Perhaps the first among all the intermediate spirits in history. I can't stand that way. Like my contractor, I will make you have the right skills.”

The pride of the high spirits was unmatched.

No matter how out of the realm, he couldn't seem to be lame.

Of course, that couldn't mean that he couldn't give up his contract with Loen, so he was going to mend his skills.

Feria's eyes are burning with a strange passion.

Her determination had been made long.

'this… Was it good?'

Loen sweated.

* * *

After the long story ended, Loen left the room and went downstairs.

The lodgings here were mainly used by Loen as well as many adventurers for long-term stays.

Alcohol and food were also sold on the first floor, but it seemed to be quite expensive.

The fact that he wasn't kicked out while the rent was being pushed was a virtue of his grandfather's generosity.

“Hahahaha!”

As I went down the stairs, an early laughter pierced my ear.

Adventurers were making a noisy scene, making noise, and the atmosphere looked like someone shot it.

“One more here!”

"Uric, aren't you getting rid of this?"

“Haha, drink a lot when you have a chance! Because I shoot it to commemorate the promotion!”

Yuric is getting everyone's attention.

It was the motive that started working as an adventurer with Loen at the same time.

However, the current position was completely different.

Suddenly, after meeting all the conditions of his career, he passed the promotion test and received a green plaque.

“… … .”

Then Loen took out a yellow plaque from her arms and looked down.

The system of adventurers and guilds was fairly well-organized as it once promoted to the front of the kingdom.

One of those systems was this'certification plaque'.

The level of adventurers is divided and managed, and by setting a certain standard, errors are reduced and unnecessary sacrifices are prevented.

The adventurer rating, which is divided into six in this way, had a really big difference for each stage.

If it were a green plaque, it was only one step different from the yellow plaque of Loen, but being issued a green plaque means that she is already a'verified adventurer'.

As trust arises, the number of clients who want to entrust quests increases, and the range of missions that can be undertaken becomes wider than before.

Yuric was also planning to move with a proposal from a much larger guild than where he was previously.

It was also because of that, he shot alcohol at everyone with the commission he received.

On the other hand, Loen still had a modest mission experience with no sign of promotion from the yellow plaque.

The lowest level except for apprentice adventurers who haven't even received a proof hand.

The promotion was a distant world, and I was kicked out of the guild, so I felt bitter when I remembered the gap that had only widened no matter how hard I tried.

Loen turned his gaze and tried to quietly pass this noisy scene.

However, I just ran into Yuric who was passing by the door.

“Uh, Loen! Are you just going? I've already shot it, but even in this case, I get eaten. It's not that laid back.”

“I have an urgent job. And I can afford to eat meals.”

“Haha, really? I'm glad. But didn't you say you were kicked out of the guild?”

Yuric smiled and asked a question.

Loen knew very well what he meant to say.

If you saw his usual personality or behavior, you couldn't know that there was a subtle malice in it.

At Yuric's triumphant expression, Loen's stomach swelled.

“How many years already? Starting from our probation days together, you helped a lot. But now the roads have crossed like this. Well, how can everyone be successful... … .”

“So that’s all you want to say?”

"Oh sorry. Did I say something so unnoticed? I guess I was a little drunk. I'll apologize, so give me a look. Huh?"

Yuric, with her mouth curled up, pushed into the annoying side.

When I was in probation, I didn't know he was such a guy.

However, as the gap gradually widened and the standing position changed, it began to reveal its true color.

Besides, now that I was promoted to the next level, I was provocating outright at all.

However, the sound of words from the side awakened him from his thoughts.

“Roen, it’s noisy here. Can’t we go out quickly?”

Feria came down and said, with her arms on the railings of the stairs.

Then Yuric's eyes widened looking toward the railing.

While staying in the capital, there was a beautiful woman who was astonishing enough to never see it.

It was very momentary, but it was enough to get drunk.

“Did you two know?”

“You better pay attention over there.”

“Haha, how can you not care with such a beautiful girl in front of you?”

Yuric, with his dark eyes, laughed.

Then he staggered to her down the stairs and pulled it, gently wrapping his arms around his waist.

“Hey, it’s too wasteful to hang out with a guy like that. Do you have any plans to go with me? Once I'm settled, I could put a seat in our guild... … .”

“Turn off.”

"What… … ?”

Paak!

In an instant, a fist hit him in the middle of Yuric's face.
