A Girl Who Was Told “You Have No Talent” Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster - CH 52.2

“Our guild is looking for talented people. Because, if excellent people gather, people who recognize them will also gather. This will ultimately lead to the development of the Summoners, more so of Adventurers’ Guild and Summoner’s Guild. Furthermore, if you can make connections with influential people in the process, you can expect to receive large financing.” (Branch manager)

“Say it in an explanation that I can understand. I’m only interested in my own benefit.” (Litty)

“That’s the wrong way to think that way. At least it’s healthier and easier than going to an unexplored area to die, saying it’s what an adventurer has to do or something.” (Branch manager)

Litty reacted with a twitch to the branch manager’s dismissive words. Adventurers didn’t go to die, they went on adventures. For Litty, who could not shake this premise, the branch manager’s words were difficult to understand.

“Well, that aside, Litty, are you willing to work for our guild? Of course, I promise to give you preferential treatment.”

“No, thank you.”

There was no way that Litty would take kindly to a branch manager who had mistaken adventure for work. When Litty gave a curt refusal, the branch manager gritted his teeth faintly.

“So, here’s what we’ll do. If you lose in the game we are about to play, you will be asked to comply. If you win, you will receive the title of Summoner.”

“Title…!”

Normally, the title of “Summoner” would have been given to the person who summoned and made a contract. However, Litty had not gone through the formalities.

A normal person would think that he would be fine without the title, but Litty was Litty.

“I’ll take it!”

“Prove yourself!”

The branch manager smiled as if he had succeeded. The reason why the branch manager was able to feel confident was because of Mc Creed, an instructor of the branch manager’s faction. The adventurers seemed to recall his name and understood that it was a good decision, after hearing about Litty’s fighting style.

“Oh, is that Mc Creed?”

“The Melee Killer?”

“I haven’t seen him for a while, so he became an instructor.”

The adventurers whispered to each other about Mc Creed. Mc Creed, a mature man with a rather angular face, listened to them and smiled smugly.

The branch manager prompted Mc Creed with his eyes and instructed him to go to the playing field.

“Girl, your opponent is me.”

“Yes! Pleasure to meet you!”

Litty went up to the circular playing field and examined her enemy’s weapons. Litty was not carrying a single weapon.

Mc Creed didn’t take Litty seriously. He heard about Litty from the branch manager, and her fighting style was a good match for him. That was why he was confident thinking the victory was in his hands so he couldn’t help but smile.

“I’m a proud man. When I was active, I beat up a number of adventurers who came after me. They were just a bunch of loudmouths with no real skills.”

“I see.”

“What about you? I certainly recognize your accomplishments, but there are many people who only have momentum at the beginning and then lose it. I can’t stand to see the reputation of adventurers damaged by weak adventurers.”

“I understand because if clients don’t trust adventurers, no one will give them work. I can see why Mc Creed-san thinks so much about accomplishment.”

Mc Creed was somewhat offended by Litty’s attitude because he had expected her to attack from the provocation.

He treated her as a weakling in a roundabout way. Mc Creed was not the only one who thought he had every right to be angry. A mocking sneer broke out among the trainees and adventurers.

Failing to provoke her, Mc Creed became angry and started summoning his partner.
