    <span style="font-weight:400">"Well, I''m off!" Keith stated as he was outfitted in armor. It was time for him to go out and do some hunting. It had been awhile since he did it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you guys need anything from the city?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can you get me some metal, Leader?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I want to get something to eat."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If you can, can you get some wood?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Gotcha!" Like that, Keith headed to the city. He looked at the guild. Keith hadn''te here for some time now. Guess I should go. When he entered the guild, all eyes were locked on him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s the kid in the arena."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t look him in the eye!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I heard he could destroy a troll ape with only a punch!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I heard he could punch through anything!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith was speechless, unable to say anything. What is up with these rumors?! Those guys weren''t even trying to hide it. They talked loud enough for Keith to hear it!


    <span style="font-weight:400">How was he able to punch through anything? There were some gripes he had with that! Keith looked at the adventurers who said it. The moment he did, the adventurers looked down, not wanting to look Keith in the eye!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He''s going to end them."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good luck."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook his head as he walked to the counter, "Hello, Madison."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wee back, Keith. How have you been doing?" Madison smiled


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith scratched his head, "I''ve been doing fine. Sorry about making you worry during those times."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Madison waved her hand, "It''s fine! As long as you''re okay, that''s great. Are you going on a quest today?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I haven''t been here for some time."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If that''s the case, please do some simple quests first. I want you to get back into fighting shape." It had been some time since Keith did some quests. He might need some time to readjust.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Keith nodded. I need to find a lot of rush bulls. And I would need to get some chicken as well. Keith headed to the quest board. And when he did, the adventurers quickly backed away from him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." This is going to be happening for some time. Keith sighed as he nced at the quests. These are good. A few caught his eye. Keith took them and brought them to Madison,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I want to do these,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Madison looked down at it and smiled, "Be careful out there."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" Keith smiled as he walked out of the adventurers guild. When he did,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Madison, you''re so lucky to have an adventurer like that."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? What do you mean?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He''s a rising star." The guild watched the fight with Todd Mills. His abilities made it clear he was going to rise in rank.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Madison shook her head, "Stop thinking like that."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But why is he only taking lower-rank quests?" One of the employees interjected. Everyone saw the demolition Keith caused to Todd. His strength was much higher than anyone.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But the person continued to take lower-rank quests.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was odd.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, I forgot to tell him about it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s get as much as I can," Keith pumped his fists. As he continued to run around. His expression sparkled. He was going to catch as many rush bulls and chickens.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As he continued to search, he found a horde of rush bulls.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That makes one thing done." Keith rolled his arms as he dashed at the rush bulls.


    <span style="font-weight:400">A couple of minutes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think I have enough here," Keith wiped the face. He was content. Now I need to find the chickens. The search began.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Madison, I want to cash in all the stones I have," Keith returned to the guild and headed to Madison.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Madison nodded. Like that, all of the stones were dropped on the table. The adventurers were surprised by all the stones!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wasn''t he gone for half an hour?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How did he get so many stones?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">They were low rank. But how was it possible to get all of this?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Madison started to count them up. Once that was done, she handed the coins over.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Also, Keith. I need to ask you something."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you want to take the rank-up exam?"
