It's a "disaster-grade" behemoth, so it's going to take a while to exchange it for cash.
　I haven't dismantled it yet, so I guess I have no choice.

　So I thought I'd have some time on my hands, but .......

"Mr. Kurt. The guildmaster wants to see you. Would you mind if I met with him?
"The Guildmaster?

　What does the guild's highest-ranking official want?

"Guildmaster"?　That's Mr. Benedict, isn't it?
I've heard that he rarely appears in public, and that even few adventurers have seen him .......

　Apparently, you're famous.
　Well, I'm sure I'll be in the guild's debt a lot in the future, so it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

　The receptionist led us to a room at the back of the guild.


"Is that you?　You're the guy who brought the behemoth corpse?


　When we got there, a large man was sitting on a sofa.

"Yes?
And I heard some bullshit lies about using storage magic to bring it here. ...... How did you get it here?
I'm not lying. Storage magic is a very common and common magic.
"How can storage magic be common?

　He said.
　Apparently you can't fool the Guildmaster after all.

　We sat down side by side on the sofa.

"Whoa!　The real Mr. Benedict: ......!
"I've always wanted to meet you ...... but I never thought I'd see you so soon.

　I looked next to me and saw Lara and Marise tense up.

So what do you want from us?
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of me.

　I'm sure the guild master ...... said Benedict in disgust ...... let out a sigh.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
You're a fast learner.
No wonder. A lot of people become adventurers after graduating from the Academy of Magic. Information is bound to come in. I heard that you beat that battle-crazed Desmond in the entrance exam.

　Desmond?
　Ah, that S-rank adventurer.
　I remembered him because he was the most brawny guy in this world.
　I wish I could fight him again.

I'm not sure what to make of this.　How in the world did you manage to beat him?

　It's true that Desmond was strong.

　But if Desmond is the greatest of all time,......, then what about me, say, a thousand years ago?
　I'm sorry Desmond, but I'm confident that I would have won a thousand years ago even if I had only one hand and one foot and magic was banned.

　Speaking of which, what is the legend of my previous life in this world?
　I did a quick search before, but I couldn't find anything like that.

"Mr. Benedict.
What's that?
Do you know anyone like this?

　I gave him my name from a previous life and decided to ask Benedict.
　I figured the Guildmaster would know something.

　But...

"I'm sorry, I don't know. What's up?　Do you know him?
No, not really.

　Well, since the magical revolution of a thousand years ago was pretended to have never happened, I had a feeling that this was the answer I would get.

"Well... Let me get to the point.

　Let me get to the point," Benedict continued, folding his hands and leaning forward slightly.

I'll get straight to the point. Are you planning to leave the Academy and become an adventurer?

　I knew you were talking about that.
　In this world, even a behemoth is a "disaster class".

　I defeated it in five seconds.
　As a guildmaster, it's only natural to recruit him.

　But...

"No, thank you. I still have a lot to learn.
"Oh, I see. ......

　Benedict's shoulders slump.
　I mean, why would you want to recruit a new student like that?

　Besides, you can always become an adventurer.
　So now I want to enjoy the interesting school life that I did not experience in my previous life.

Is there anything Kurt can learn?
Well, I'm sure I'll learn a lot from studying with Kurt, so that's a silly question!
Of course I'm in!　You can't have Kurt!



　Lara and Maryse grabbed my arms from both sides.
　I felt the soft touch of their breasts on my arm, and froze involuntarily.
　For me, this is a million times more nerve-wracking than meeting a guild master.

"But, Kurt. As you probably know, the Magic Academy's student card can be used as an adventurer's license. You can also accept quests based on your ability, so please make use of it.
Yes, of course.
Also, ...... if there's something the guild can't handle, I might ask Kurt for a favor ......?
If it's not too much to ask.

　I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but if there's a chance that you'll meet someone who's stronger than Desmond - and even stronger than me - then let's go wherever we can.


　And so, I was able to kill a good amount of time talking with Benedict.


"Sorry for the wait!　Your money has been exchanged!

　The receptionist from earlier came into the room, out of breath.

"How long have I got?

　I don't know how high the "disaster level" is in this world.
　I don't know where the "disaster level" is in this world, but I've defeated some pretty powerful demons.
　I think the ...... reward is one gold coin!

"Yes, yes!　Here it is!

　Put the bag on the table in front of the sofa.

　It looks heavy.
　Maybe it's all copper?

"......
"Are you dissatisfied?

　I think I scared the receptionist by letting out an involuntary sigh.

No, it's not like that.

　I followed up and looked inside the bag without much expectation.

　Hmm, this doesn't look like a copper coin. It's more like a gold coin.
　One gold coin, ten ......?　It looks like there are more than 100.

300 gold pieces!　That's the price of a behemoth!

　...... Seriously?
　It's 300 times more than I originally thought it would be.

I've never seen so much money in my life!
"Of course. I'm sure you've heard of it.

　Lara's eyes widened in surprise, and Marise kept a clear face.

　Yeah.
　There's one thing I've learned about this case.
　If I can get this much money for killing a behemoth, I guess I'll never be short of money again.
