The Newbie Is Too Strong's
50 Luca and his Adult Exam
“Oh, Luca. You finally came here too. What about your mission? Hmm?” Heine greeted Luca with a friendly smile. But as soon as he glanced beside the person who was with Luca, Heine's expression became ominous.
Heine was the new person of the guild, so only knew the name of the guild captain, Heisel Trakatov, but did not know how he looked. For him the middle-aged man who was beside Luca was a troublemaker from the guild who had recently been concocting the guild by just being in the guild building all the time without working.
“You're with an unusual person huh, Luca?”
“Ah, Brother Heine. Introduce, he's my uncle, brother, Uncle Heisel.”
Heine's face stiffened as soon as he finally found out the true identity of the person he had thought was the tramp.
“Ah, forgive me, Guild Leader. I'm not aware of your presence before. Know so time see you, I..”.
Heine bowed 90 degrees in front of the guild leader while apologizing for her ignorance. However, Heisel immediately stopped him,
“Ah, it's okay. After all, I kept my identity secret all this time in the guild so as not to invite excitement. More than that, I actually thank you for taking care of Luca all this time.” Heisel said as he gestured for him to relax.
Heine looked at Luca.
“So your saying that Guild Leader is your uncle is true huh, Luca. But how can it? You are a wanderer so which may have kinship with us natives?”
“Hahahahaha.” Luca simply responded to Heine's hesitation with an awkward laugh. Moments later, Luca tried to answer, “I was originally a native of Kak. A lot of things happened so I was stranded into the world of the wanderers before finally being able to return to this world as a wanderer…” Luca then explains what has happened to him all along with the explanation allowed by the system.
“Oh, rather than that, Brother Heine, I want to see the mission of the test of maturity soon.” Luca immediately turned to the core topic of why he had come to the guild this time.
Heisel's face suddenly looked tangled as Luca said that, while Heine cheered in astonishment,
“Eh? Your natural grace is enough now? It is rare for a wanderer to collect the grace of nature so quickly. Is that because you're originally a native huh, Luca? Or because your mentors are great? As expected, being the mentee of a Guild Leader was directly different.
Luca just smiled awkwardly, while Heisel frowned at the sudden thought of something that made him very upset.
“Good. First of all, fill out this form first Luca.” Heine said, giving Luca a form that Heine took from one of the piles of paper under his desk.
Seeing Luca once again taking the test of manhood, the corner of Heisel's lips shook. He recalled the past when Luca was 12 when he took his first maturation exam.
Heisel never expected that his nephew would be stranded in the world of wanderers and lose all his natural energy so he had to start all over again. Not only that, now Luca has to take the same maturation test as the wanderers. Just for the record, the format of the maturation exam between players and NPCs was different.
It momentarily made Heisel sad as if Luca's hard efforts practicing all this while gathering natural energy seemed futile. However, after witnessing Luca's fight in the novice dungeon some time ago, he realized that the practice would never betray the results. Luca's fighting prowess remains as great as ever, although the loss of natural energy in his body is also an unavoidable fact.
After Luca filled out the form, Heine immediately drove Luca to a white crystal ball that was slightly larger than a basketball. Heisel followed from behind.
“Here is the place, Luca. All you need to do now, is to put your hands on the crystal, then your maturing test mission will present itself.”
Luca then placed his hand on the white crystal according to Heine's direction. Then the crystal glows. Heine and Heisel watched from behind enthusiastically.
Not long after, the long-awaited mission appeared.
The system detects that the current player has qualified to unlock the second level. Once the second key level is unlocked, the player will be able to move up to level 11 and beyond.
The appropriate type of exam is found.
Murder mission.
Find a necromancer named Philtory and then eliminate the target. It is known that the last target was seen in a village called Kaukau in the southwestern Lalania Empire.
In completing the mission, the player must form a party of 8 people with different classes. The maximum number of members with the same class allowed is half the number of party members where the minimum presence of a scout is an obligation.
Dear players, have fun in carrying out your mission.
Both Luca, Heisel, and Heine instantly showed a tangled expression. There are many problems with the mission.
The first is about the target of a necromancer. Necromancer used to be part of dark mage which was a sub member of the mage guild. However, since their actions that once made a global mess that was even recorded in history as one of the darkest events on the continent at the time Luca could not even remember at the age of 2 years, he said, necromancers as well as their necromancy practices became a taboo for the entire continental society.
They had cruelly started a great war on the continent by utilizing the spirits of the predecessors of the royal magnates in each kingdom as their war piece.
Those ancestors were forced to slaughter their own descendants without being able to resist the order due to the art of necromancy. In the end the unity of kingdoms across the continent was able to win the battle, it was with countless casualties paid.
From then on, necromancers were considered to be a perverted existence and their necromancy art became a taboo even to speak of. If until there were royal guards who knew of their whereabouts, they could be instantly killed on the spot. That was how rare the existence of the current necromancer in the world was.
And a despicable and taboo existence to be spoken of on the continent that Luca now has to face as a test of his maturity. No matter how Luca, Heisel, or Heine thought about it, the test should be too difficult and inappropriate to serve as a test of maturity.
Even the career maturation exam was still too high to obtain such a type of exam. Such an exam should be placed as a master examination. But now, that innocent brat, had to endure such a cruel test on his maturing test. Inevitably, Heine sympathizes with Luca for his misfortune.
Heine doesn't know that Luca's luck is currently at 600, so there's no way Luca could be hit by a meaningless misfortune. So this thing, there must be something behind it.
“Alright, Luca. You can count on Uncle to find members of the assassin.” guild
“No need to bother, Uncle. I can find my own party members. I also have many friends among the wanderers.”
“Maybe it's true. But Uncle hopes at a time like this, you can rely a little more on Uncle.”
“Alright, Uncle. For the other 3 members of the assassin guild, I leave it to Uncle.”
“Hmm.” Heisel smiled with satisfaction as Luca accepted his help. However, his expression instantly tangled. “The problem is other members. Unfortunately, the exam is limited by the proportion of the number of members based on the class. Otherwise, we can easily recruit the remaining necessary members from our guild alone.”
Beyond that, there was one more problem that confused Heisel's head. Assassin guilds are loner guilds, thanks to their ruthless job class, assassinations. No guild had ever even to glance at just cooperating with them all this time.
“Then, Luca, for the remaining 4 members, I leave it to you. But if you are in trouble, you can still rely on Uncle. Even if you have to prostrate before other guild leaders or even they ask for a lot of money, Uncle will give everything that Uncle has for your sake, Luca.”
“Uncle?” At the words of his uncle, Luca felt guilty. Luca is determined to be able to gather his fellow struggles to help him in the test with his own efforts.
Unfortunately in the maturation exam which was none other than the second level key opening exam, there was no reward at all from the system for the test aides. This practically makes it difficult for players to find party partners if needed who are truly willing to help without being paid, unless they are indeed the closest person the player is concerned in the real world.
In fact, many cases, the player must pay for the reward in the form of real-world cash through the services of game boost-level agents.
