Episode 15

All the male adventurers in Antares town could only kneel with bruised faces as they listened to Lulu lecturing them all.

For the adventurers from outside the town, they had returned after receiving the same treatment from Vivia; she was truly formidable.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Vivia left the guild after I finished casting the healing spell on her.

"Now, how do you plan to compensate for this damage?" asked Lulu, causing everyone's expressions to turn to confusion.

In the end, it was Lulu herself who proposed the solution.

"There are only two ways you can do this: first, by participating in the guild's fighting competition, and second, by deducting 50% of your earnings from each quest you complete. Do you want to eat and drink off the floor forever?"

Everyone shook their heads simultaneously, and in the end, they agreed to participate in the competition, which would be the guild's first.

Good luck.

I picked up a quest as usual, and when I was about to leave through the door, everyone blocked my way.

"Don't think that I need to take part in that difficult race?"

Unlike us, all the guilds participating included those from the large cities. It was certain we would be swept away in an instant.

"Please, Aksa, you're our hope... right, I will offer you a free meal coupon at the Succubus cafe," said Kazel, followed by others.

"I have a year's supply of adult magazines you can have."

He should've been arrested a long time ago.

"I have a lot of sexy Succubus sister photos; you can get them."

How corrupt these people are.

"We beg you."

Everyone bowed their heads, making it difficult for me to refuse, especially regarding the magazines. At that moment, manifestations of a devil and an angel appeared beside me.

The devil said, just follow along... the magazines, magazines, magazines, your teacher won't mind, she will surely teach you a lot as an adult woman.

The angel said, I don't see a problem. You could have experiences with such magazines.

Hey, you are an angel, aren't you?

Both vanished, replaced by Lulu's voice.

"Aksa, honestly I'm not sure about them... but if it's Aksa, I'm sure you can win it."

Her confidence was blinding.

"What can I do? So, what are the rules?"

Everyone showed expressions of gratitude until the items they had previously offered were promptly pushed towards me, and I promptly refused them, considering I wanted to look good in front of Lulu.

She began to explain.

"With our guild participating, that means there will be four guilds in total. Each guild can send a few of their adventurers to register, provided that it's no more than seven people, and they all will fight each other in one arena."

"So how many people will we send?"

Everyone pointed at me.

"Just me."

Everyone nodded.

"It's like you're betting a heavy burden on me alone."

One of the adventurers spoke up with sparkling eyes.

"Even if you lose, we don't mind, but please just fight for us."

"Even though you're a top-level adventurer."

"I wouldn't dare against other adventurers."

Despite not having much faith in this guild, I finally decided to try it. Outside the town, I was back to dealing with slimes as usual.

Using a cloth and stick, I had collected 20 jars of slime fluid, and I wanted to buy a gift for Miss Heliet, that's why I worked a bit harder.

Suddenly, a slime jumped out at me, and I accidentally smashed its body, causing it to explode and making it difficult to sell.
