<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? But I''m fine as is." Keith was all right with being in F-rank. And there was no need for him to rank up so quickly. Taking the slow road was the best.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let me exin a few things. Even if you rank up, you can still take lower-rank quests. The added bonus is you can also do higher ones as well." Madison exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm," Keith thought about it. Should I really do it? It didn''t matter whether or not he did it now orter. He nced at Madison, and she looked really eager.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll do it then."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great!" Madison pped her hands.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Where are we going to do it?" Keith tilted his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please follow me," Keith nodded as he was brought to a practice area.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith tilted his head, "What''s this?" He didn''t think there was an area there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is a ce where lower-rank adventurers can train. Sometimes, higher-rank adventurers will teach them when they have the time," Madison smiled. This was a ce to help train others.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Keith looked around and noticed adventurers practicing. While he nced around,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Madison, why are you here?" Keith and Madison turned to see a man there.
<span style="font-weight:400">Giant! Keith couldn''t help but think. The man was really tall. He noticed the person was a beastman.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Groa." Madison greeted him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who''s the new kid?" The bearman questioned as he stared at Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s Keith, a new adventurer. He''s going to be taking a rank-up exam." Madison exined. Groa continued to stare at Keith. Thetter smiled at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Groa, don''t do anything strange." Feeling the tense atmosphere, Madison warned Groa.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is this kid your type?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"!" "..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are you saying?!" Madison punched him in the gut!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ugh!" Groa didn''t expect a punch. He went down in a second! Keith was stunned. How strong is Madison? He was more surprised that Madison took him out in a blow than a giant man falling!
<span style="font-weight:400">Groa quickly got up, "But you''re at the-Nevermind!" He was going to say something. However, one look from Madison shut him up!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why did you bring him here?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re here to have Keith take a rank-up examination."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then I will be the proctor." Groa smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?! No way!" Madison shook her head, "Keith, let me find you a proctor."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m the only B-rank here," Groa stated with a grin.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Fine." Madison had nothing to say. She turned to Keith, "Keith, make sure you hit him in the gut. I weakened him there."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Madison!" Groa was shocked. How could you y favorites like that?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith scratched his head. But he stared at Groa,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go pick out a sword from the rack," Keith nodded as he picked one up.
<span style="font-weight:400">Good. This one is like it. It was simr to the sword Keith always used.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are we doing?" Keith questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You have tost against me for five minutes!" Groa stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Simple enough. Groa held a giant hammer in his hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">I need to watch out for the hammer. One swing from that would probably knock Keith out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Begin!" Madison dered. The bearman rushed at Keith. Quick! Keith quickly got ready and blocked the hammer with his sword.
<span style="font-weight:400">He''s a fast type. He was probably the same type as Dalen and the other dwarves, a hard-hitter. But this guy had the speed to back it up!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t try to run away." The bearman continued to charge at Keith. While the two fought,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, Groa is fighting with a new guy."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t that the super rookie?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, we have to watch this!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith continued to duck and dodge the hammer. But after some time,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Madison, why is Groa fighting with Keith?" Madison turned around and saw Dennis and his party members.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith is taking the rank-up exam, and Groa was the only one here."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It seems Keith is being pushed back," Ninamented.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nah, Keith should be able to win," Dennis interjected.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed." Madison nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seriously, those swings are not ordinary at all! Even though Keith had a calm expression, he couldn''t help but sweat in his heart. Those blows would end him.
<span style="font-weight:400">I need to take that opening.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Stop running away from me!" Groa chased after him. He swung his hammer down. That caused the rubble to fly!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Keith grimaced as rocks flew into his eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">Bang!
<span style="font-weight:400">"That was point nk!" The hammer mmed right into Keith''s chest!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Whoa! Is he alright?!" Dennis was shocked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Keith gritted his teeth. That did something. He could feel his chest rattling from the force. Groa raised his hammer again, ready to m down at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Bang!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t think about it." Keith red at Groa. He caught the hammer!
<span style="font-weight:400">"He caught it!" He actually caught Groa''s hammer!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who in the right mind would do that?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Grr!" Groa smirked as he tried to push it down. But thetter continued to hold it.
