Shin Sang Legend
Obligations and Responsibilities

But, because of that, Shin still wanted to clearly state what needed to be said.

“Nona Vivian.” Shin thus spoke to Vivian, “Can I really join this adventurer party?”

So, Shin went straight to the main topic.

*********

Shin's question surprised Vivian and her friends.

“What?” Vivian asked strangely, “Do you have a problem with that?”

For that question, Shin suddenly had the urge to answer honestly – Yes.

However, giving such an answer was too harsh.

Therefore, Shin tried to lift it in a more indirect way.

“Party where you are seems to consist of all female adventurers. For a male adventurer like me to suddenly join in, there must be some amount of discomfort, right?”

Vivian and her group did not think that Shin would talk about it first.

So, Vivian gave a smile in return.

Vivian replied, “However, don't judge us just by looks. In fact, we've experienced the same situation many times. Plus, this is governed by the guild, so from the point of view of the obligation towards the guild or our responsibilities as senior adventurers, we should not mind the emergence of newcomers.”

“Obligations and responsibilities.. Hah?” Shin raised his eyebrows.

Vivian looked at Shin. He gently smiled as he explained, “We were also once excited newcomers on the adventurous path, and at that time, we also experienced the careful arrangement of our guilds and senior teachings. Thanks to that we were able to get to where we are now. Guilds and adventurers have always been like this. By contributing to the adventurer guild, the adventurers and guilds have managed to grow over the past thousands of years.”

Although on the surface, it seemed like adventurers and guilds were only using each other for mutual benefits. One side would use the guild stage to receive various requests and get paid for it while increasing their strength, while the other side would profit from being an intermediary between adventurers and quest givers. However, for the sake of improving the company that was adventuring, the guild did impose a bit of restrictions and support.

So, to deal with it, the guild required new adventurers to undergo a certain amount of training and testing. On one hand in order for them to complete the quest better, and on the other to keep those who are not suitable to be adventurers facing too many dangers.

Given that, having a senior adventurer leading a newcomer was a must. During this time, the adventurer guild used such a method to arouse beginners.

Vivian and her group had also been rookies, and they had also received treatment from their seniors. Therefore, those who had already received those benefits naturally had to pay it to Shin.

“Is that so?”

Shin nodded as he muttered to himself in his mind.

As someone from another world, Shin knew very well that although his theory might be so, those who could actually practice it tended to be rare.

In his previous life, he did not even know how many people had received the generosity of others, but for their own benefit, ended up paying him back in ungratefulness.

Even for those who don't want to be ungrateful, gratitude itself is something most people only hold in their hearts. However, how many people would actually accept that gratitude and pay it back in the end?

Perhaps, here, training the beginners was an inevitable task of senior adventurers, but would everyone do it happily and willingly?

Overall, a beginner joining, for most groups of senior adventurers, was basically a millstone on their neck that they had to drag.

With such an impact, the number of parties who really wanted to lead a beginner would definitely be very few.

Plus, Vivian's party only consisted of beautiful female adventurers, so the impact of a male adventurer joining became even greater.

Even so, he could still honestly state that he did not mind. Such a character, at the very least, was something Shin could admire.

Moreover, Vivian even went on to say more.

“Again, the training period is only a month. We also have a lot of activities that were done before, so it's been a long time that we didn't have time to rest properly. So, we'll just treat this some time to really rest and relax a little. This is a decision made by everyone in the party, so you don't have to hold back.”

That's what Vivian says.

Hearing that, Shin bowed to Vivian and her group.

“Then, I will be in your care until next month.”

Shin basically accepted the current situation.

“Good.” Vivian laughed briefly and followed with a suggestion, “Then, don't delay. We will continue and receive some simple quests today and familiarize you with the adventurer's work.”

Shin naturally could not resist that suggestion.

No matter what, Shin wanted to quickly gain an understanding of adventurer work so that he could become stronger smoothly later.

The others also did not mind, so they left the room with Shin and Vivian down to the first floor hall together.

..........

When Shin's small group descended from the second floor and entered the first floor hall, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

Vivian, Diere, Lumia, and Melika said nothing about the situation. They just looked at each other and headed to the request board.

Shin who was with them, on the other hand, did show some changes in his expression and sighed resignedly once more in his mind.

‘Hal-things become troublesome as expected.’

In the guild's main hall, the sight of the adventurers there first fell on Vivian and her group, before then concentrating on Shin.

Clearly, Shin who moved in with Vivian would receive a lot of attention whether he wanted to or not.

Shin noticed such a scene, but he only showed submission.

After all, a situation like this was something Shin had predicted some time ago.
