Rise of the Adventurer Series: Sea Dragon Nest Quest

Volume - 2 // Chapter - 37

Morning at the Administration Building.

7:00 am to be exact (Not related to the time on the story, I was just resembling their time when it happened :)) )

As the attention of the people and Adventurers focusing only on the Adventurer Knights Department Head, together with Sam Smeagel and other High-ranking Personnel. Robert Steel was the only one speaking right in front of everyone, answering all sorts of questions and thoughts made by the crowd's uneasiness feelings throughout the entire time.

"Like I said... The Dungeon Break had completely gone, diminished into pieces and not a single trace of existence had been seen in our very naked eye." Robert valiantly answered their long-waited question wholeheartedly.

By doing it, the sadness and worry made by the people had also gone and slowly getting relieved. Knowing the fact that the only livelihood they knew is now back in operation and began actively since the past few days of stopping.

"How can you guys be so sure that the dungeon break will never be occurred and sprouting out all of a sudden? do you guys having that kind of assurance unto us?" One concerned Adventurer courageously asking the Department Head.

The people and other Adventurers who heard about it suddenly went into their minds as what the first one thinking for it. Eventually went worried and frightened as to what they resolve.

Robert seemed surprised at the moment, couldn't expect the outcome of the questions that everyone made towards them. Simply nodded, trying not to lose composure against the crowd and asking others the best possible way of responding to his question towards them.

Fortunately, Sam Smeagel finally takes his action on behalf of the nervous, uneasy Robert Steel for a while.

"If you guys still didn't convince to what we said, then it will be a pointless and meaningless way for us to standing right in front of you, spouting nonsense and never bothered being embarrassed right in front of everyone!" Sam went exaggerated after he simply explained.

"But... We are just want to be sure--"

"How are your lives to be secured while dealing with the monsters living inside the dungeon? Is that what you're saying?" Sam transparently predicting all thoughts rumbling inside of everyone's minds.

"Listen well, being Adventurer is never been an easy job for the likes of you that afraid of dying. Every quest and Dungeon itself is drastically changing over time, we couldn't predict and certain for the situations happening inside of it. In other words, we couldn't ensure for your lives what's happening inside the dungeon. It was taboo for every single one of you about the rules of entering the dungeon;

Never entered when the dungeon when it's already occupied.

Never entered the dungeon whenever the quest didn't see contracted.

I do hope that you had been aware of that." Sam simply explained cautiously and wisely.

"I know you guys needed some wealth and income very badly, that wouldn't be thought the fastest yet perilous way to make it was to enter the dungeon. Knowing that the job itself was able to cost lives and to destroy the fate of many, please be wary and understand your chosen job very carefully." Sam left nothing but to felt distraught and sorrow towards them.

Even so, he couldn't help about it.

As the result, after what they heard from the Department head of the Dungeon Quest and Raids itself. They left nothing but felt ashamed and discouraged for themselves. Knowing the fact that they also admitted that weaker and Inexperienced Adventurers were prone to danger and unnecessary things happened inside the dungeon.

They simply went silent, graciously being grateful to the news that the Administration Personnel has given to them.

.

"Bring the Bulletin board back to where it placed." One high-ranking Personnel ordered the building attendants.

!Thug!

!Thug!

!Plack!

As the Bulletin board is being held back into its place. Everyone rushing forth and quickly gathering around, started picking up to their desired quest mission and rank dungeon for themselves.

"E-rank quest"

"E-rank quest"

"C-rank quest"

"D-rank quest"

"E-rank quest"

"D-rank quest"

"D-rank quest"

"C-rank quest"

"C-rank quest"

"D-rank quest"

As expected, most of them quickly picking up the quest that was seemingly valuable and High-ranking for their league and manageable to win, without having casualties and constant unwanted injuries. Moreover, some of the strongest Adventurers who held themselves inside the Building are likely forming up their team together and immediately picking up the soaring level of the quest as many as they possibly can.

For instance, as they forming in and tallying their strength and power; They have 2 A-rank Double Awakener, 5 B-rank Awakener, and 2 C-rank Support, followed back with a D-rank porter as their carrier for the belongings as well as the loot that is seemingly valuable whenever the battle started.

At that pace, it would be the strongest force when it entered for the 'C-rank' dungeon and will be taking for at least 10 minutes of raiding more or less.

The Adventurer Knights Personnel and other Administration Attendants suddenly noticed about it, quickly compelling to what the people and Adventurers' thoughts and ideas they'd made for them to earn money swiftly and efficiently.

"....Hmmm...I wonder how they can split up the money when they'll finish it." One attendant simply went curious.

"Isn't it obvious? of course, the highest part of the reward money will be taken to the strongest member since he nor she is the frontline and the main attacker of the team, that does it mean that he nor she had the biggest part of the money whenever the rewards will be given into them." One other Attendant left nodded into his mind.

"In other words. The more work you had, the more money you earn?" Another one asked with curiosity.

"Correct, and by the way... Why are getting bothered by their business? Just leave them alone you dimwits!" She gets annoyed for no reason.

.

An hour later.

The Bulletin Board filled with dungeon quest and other quest-related missions had gone wiped and everything around it was booked and completely contracted. As every single one who attending the Administration Building had gone picking up their chosen missions thoroughly and respectfully.

Though, some of them wanted to choose the simplest and safest way of dealing with the dungeon by picking up the least and weakest level amongst the ranks given by the Administration. Most of the others deliberately choosing up the hard way, knowing the fact that the rewards and money that the Administration gave to them are staggering. Yet, the numbers and forms of participants gathering into one were astonishingly stronger comparably to the ones they'd made long before.

Because of it, The Board itself was empty. Wanting to get full by several papers to be contracted for the next few days.

And at that moment, the Adventurers' Administration of the Willow Village had now fully operational.

The Administration Quest Receptionist and other Building Attendants were now solemnly doing their part on their own since then.

Nathalia Condor - the Receptionist headmaster of the Willow Village Adventurers Administration branch. an 'AAA' rank Adventurer with a wielder of "Double Awakening" and a possessor of the Entity race. She is also said to be one of the Strongest Adventurer in Prairie Town, due to her unique ability to control the life forms of other beings even humans as well in a short period, and minimal count of possible control. But then, it was still dangerous and lethal against the enemies and magic creatures especially to the stronger ones that she faced eventually. Making her to be renowned and feared amongst the stronger Adventurers throughout the town because of her abilities. Not only that, but She's also gorgeous and elegant as well at her mid 30's of age. Making her one of the most beautiful women in the town at her prime decades ago.

With the assistance of Nathalia Condor being hands-on towards the new and rookie Attendants and Receptionists, everyone seemed holistic and manageable for them to worked continually without troubling and gracefully.

By that method, all accounts and contracts given by the people and Adventurers are going smooth and vibrance through the workplace due to it. Making the entire transaction went finished in a short period.

"Amazing!"

"Ms. Nathalia looked tired and worn out due to her work, but she seemed gorgeous and even more beautiful when she gets into it."

People around the Building are seemingly noticeable in the work made by Nathalia Condor. They seemed elegant and proud of her effort towards them, just to make everyone attending and taking good care at the same time.

The Adventurer Knights, on the other hand, couldn't hold themselves but to help the building attendants and receptionist to gathered up the people who patiently waiting for their turns to be contacted. Unfortunately, they stopped their doings immediately by the High-ranking Personnel all of a sudden due to some technical reasons given by both Departments. As the result, they're helpless, nonchalantly idling around in a room where all the Personnel of the Adventurer Knights held in and resting for at least a day.

At some point.

Robert Steel along with Misho Santa and his subordinates. Started gathering the Knights in one place all of a sudden, after they patiently waiting for the people and Adventurers on leaving the place that everyone still held in.

"Sir, what about Sir. Sam Smeagel and Pista Rambutan? should we wait for them?" One personnel suddenly asked out of his concern.

Unfortunately, Misho Santa simply nodded sideways as a mode of his response to her. Leaving them no choice but to commence the meeting and plan that the two Department heads were supposedly wanting to make. Not knowing the fact that the two Investigators are having their leave just a few minutes before the roll call of the Adventurer Knights Personnel. They left the place silently, without telling anyone, and had no specific reason for leaving.

"Should we begin our meeting this morning?" Robert Steel graciously asked his subordinates.

But then;

As what he sees into them.

Most of his Personnel were already tired and exhausted for the whole night of guarding the Dungeon break, resulting in them to felt uneasy and drowsy. Making their senses lost on its track and off-guarded as what they resolve.

Misho clearly understands what they're feeling at the moment, patiently asking the Department Head to postpone the immediate meeting that he preparing and unplanned.

However;

"Dammit... Looks like you're the first one to fell asleep rather than any others, right?" Misho felt annoyed knowing that the Department head himself couldn't hold anymore but rest his body from exhaustion.

And so, after the unprecedented happenings;

Misho was left awake alone, slowly closing the door where they held in to avoid sudden commotion towards them and helped himself sleeping right on the corner.

11:00 am at the central part of the Village. (Still not related to the time on the story, I was just resembling their time when it happened :)) )

Misa Togo, along with the church Attendants, having their time buying goods and other ingredients to the church for the entire week of supply on their food.

Rice, potatoes, meat, and other necessities they bought in for todays feasting.

Ecstatic and pleasant, as what they felt early in the morning till noon. Followed by the people around them that seem kind and blissful towards them, hoping for themselves that the week they facing will be nice and peaceful enough for living in.

Moments later;

As what they reached in some streets near the Administration Building, whereas the nearest route for them to leave. They instantly noticed some crowd of people gathering around in one place for some particular reason, palpable enough to be seen from afar yet very lively to be heard at some point.

The Church attendants who graciously watching the crowd being full and overwhelmed, couldn't hold themselves but to felt glad for the people and the Adventurer as well. Knowing the fact that the most known livelihood for the Village to live was to deal with the quest and fighting monsters lurking inside of it.

But then, the eyes of the suspicion and dubious Misa Togo are unexpectedly unforeseen. Is she the only one who didn't felt grateful nor happy for the outcome of the investigations made by the Administration?

From what she had read to the Newspaper very carefully and thoughtfully, all the words and information putting around in a piece of paper was all lies and untruthful for the likes of Misa Togo. Causing her to left enrage in the middle of the streets, nonetheless, the Church people having along with her were simply calming her down and forcing her to leave to the place as much they possibly could.

Out of her mind, her thoughts and frustrations went rumbling on her head once more, all of a sudden. As he unconsciously thinking about the conditions that happened by Levi Furiman, whereas the last time she saw him was leaving at the Church in the middle of the night, along with some personalities that are seemingly known for their deeds and contributions that made them prestigious throughout the Administration.
