In the meeting room on the second floor of the guild, Rei asked a question at Residence’s unexpected words.
「Is provisional B rank different from normal B rank?」
「Yes. To be exact, you will be treated as an ordinary B rank adventurer. However, if you receive requests from nobles or royalty, the guild assistant will step in.」
「……An assistant?」
「You can consider them to be an interpreter of sorts. Because you lack knowledge in noble etiquette, the assistant will handle that side of things. To put it simply, the assistant will act alongside you when you need to talk or work with a noble for a request. They will deal with the noble so that you can focus on the request.」
At Residence’s response, Rei, Stee and Roble thought about it for a moment……eventually, Stee was the first speak up about it.
「In other words, a babysitter?」
「Well, I guess you could say that.」
Rei looked at Residence with an unpleasant expression, who had nodded simply at Stee’s description of a babysitter.
「Don’t look like that. It’s only because you lack etiquette towards nobles. And, of course it’s not always necessary to provide an assistant. The guild will explain your character to any nobles who bring forward a request first. After that, the guild branch will only provide an assistant if there are any concerns regarding etiquette.」

「Wait a minute! If it’s just etiquette, can’t I pass that way as well!?」
Roble raised his voice in protest as he hit the table with his strength, peculiar to Beastkin.
But, as expected of a table used by the guild, it was not damaged in any way after being struck with Roble’s strength.
Residence shook his head as he explained why.
「Indeed, both you and Rei do not meet the criteria of noble etiquette required to pass the test. However, there was a big difference between you and Rei in other areas, even if you both failed that criteria. That’s why this was arranged. In addition, there are other differences in terms of pure ability as an adventurer. I explained this to you earlier, did I not?」
「T-That’s……」
After Residence’s reply, Roble had no response.
How they had divided up the Bicorns, the Misty Ring, the Griffon, Set, and maybe even Rei’s title all contributed to Rei being given a special pass to B rank. All those thoughts went through Roble’s mind.
「Rei, I challenge you to a duel!」

Holding up his spear that had been propped against the table, Roble pointed the tip towards Rei as he said that loudly.
Roble’s words continued as everyone else in the room looked at him, taken aback.
「Honestly, I’m not that smart. I just can’t accept that Rei passed but I failed despite both of us not meeting the same criteria. Because of that, I want compete against you as an adventurer.」
Rei thought about Roble’s challenge for a few seconds as he turned to look over at Residence.
Seeing Residence nod, Rei nodded as well in response to Roble.
「I understand. I accept your challenge.」
Even though he and Rei had received the same fail mark on the same criteria, Rei passed while he didn’t. It was because Roble was dissatisfied that he made the challenge.
However, his lover, Stee, couldn’t stay quiet when she heard it.
「Hey, Roble. Don’t you know how strong Rei is after we hunted the Bicorns!? So why do you have to be so reckless!」

「I’m sorry, Stee. I know it in my mind. As Residence told me, my attitude was deserving of failing this exam. But……my heart still isn’t convinced. I’m fighting to clear my heart.」
「……Idiot, idiot, idiot. You’re really and idiot. Fine. Do what you want. I will keep an eye on you.」
Roble smiled slightly at Stee’s pout before looking back over at Rei and laughing.
However, it wasn’t the gentle smile he had shown to Stee just a moment earlier, but a savage smile like a carnivore before it’s prey.
「Well, if you both agree to it, do what you want. It will take some time to update your guild cards anyway. Rei and Stee both pass your guild cards over before you head to the training ground. Only the guild needs to know about Rei’s provisional status, so the results will be announced without that information.」
「……An announcement? That didn’t happen when I went to D rank. Is there only an announcement when reaching B rank?」
Rei suddenly asked Residence as he handed over his guild card.
「Yes. It’s because there is a big difference between D rank and B rank. Moreover, B rank and higher indicates you are a highly skilled first rate adventurer. That’s why the names of those who pass the B rank test are publicised. However, that is only in the guild you belong to, so when you go to another city, they will still use your guild card to check your rank. We don’t communicate our adventurer ranks through to other guilds unless there is something serious going on.」
Although Residence said that, he frowned his eyes slightly as he received Stee and Rei’s guild cards.

(That said, Rei has an item box and a Griffon, so there’s a good chance that might happen.)
「Uoooooooh-! Stee, thank you so much! Thanks to you, we can go on break for a while!」
「Hmm, did Rei pass after all? It’s true that I won my bet, but I didn’t make a lot off it.」
「Then why did you bet on Rei? Are you trying to be sarcastic to me since I bet on Roble and lost?」
「But, better than that guy right?」
「Boohoohoo……it was a big mistake after all to bet big on the dark horse Ons……I’ll have to eat nothing but dried meat for a while.」
「What the hell were you thinking, going all in on someone you didn’t even know?」
「It was because he was a dark horse……」
After handing over their guild cards, Rei, Roble and Stee made their way down to the first floor of the guild, where they heard some sad voices.

While Rei and the others had been told whether or not they passed the rank up test, the results had also been announced on the first floor of the guild for the people who had bet on the test.
Normally, those who had placed bets on Ons, who was actually an examiner, should have been refunded. However, the bets were being handled by a group of volunteers, and even within the guild, only those involved in the test knew who Ons was. Because of that, those who bet on the dark horse could only be called unlucky.
But, unlike Rei, who was well known thanks to Set, and Roble and Stee, who had been active in Gilm for a while, few people bet on Ons who everyone barely knew anything about. Those that did bet on Ons mostly did so as a token bet on the dark horse.
Those who were happy and those were sad all saw Rei, Roble and Stee coming down from the second floor.
