　A predatory receptionist enters the training hall accompanied by her uncle. The adventurers around us are surprised to see Guilmas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wow. So that's the guildmaster. But it's getting a bit exaggerated to call the guildmaster for a duel. But he's a muscular guy. According to the template, he's a former high-ranked adventurer, so he's probably strong. The carnivorous receptionist beckons me over.

"So you're the new necromancer. Adventurers who don't know their own abilities will die young. Well, if I lose this time I'm retiring. Maybe it's for the best. I'll try not to kill you. Go ahead and lose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no. This Gilmouth guy is one of those prejudiced against necromancers. The guildmaster is discriminating. We are completely away from home. They hate us so much it's refreshing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How many reasons does it take to make someone you just met hate you so much?　It makes me wonder what kind of behavior an ordinary genie magician has had in the past. But that doesn't give me any reason to just go along with it.

"That being said, I was made a laughingstock in Manza. If I run away, I'll get into trouble every time I come here. That's no way to make it as an adventurer. If you are the guildmaster, I hope you will scold those who bully newcomers instead of getting angry at me.

"You're cocky. Are you so sure of yourself?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What?　I made a good argument, didn't I?　Why are you being cocky?　Funny, how the word was perfectly clear to Sylphy and the others, but not to the humans?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's see. I wonder why everyone thinks I'm going to lose in the first place. Doesn't anyone think I can win?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. Useful necromancers are not adventurers but royalty and aristocrats.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right. That's why they all got involved with the useless genie wizards who came here to become adventurers. I think it's not surprising that there are spiritists who want to be adventurers. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't think that's a good idea.　The Adventurer's Guild seems to have a hard time dealing with the spiritists, and even those who can use them refuse to become adventurers. Oh, and please take care of the money there. If I win, it's all mine, but they don't seem to have the best of intentions. ......"

　It doesn't make any sense, but I tried to stir things up. Adventurers participating in the betting shouted abuse at me. I'm having a lot of fun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is this what it feels like to be a heel?　Sylphy is a bit puzzled, but in this atmosphere I have no choice but to be a heel, I guess. But I didn't expect to be a heel on my first day as an adventurer.

"Guilmas. Let's get started. I'm going to crush this guy as fast as I can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha. Carl is so scared that he's going to come at me with five men, even though he's talking about a duel. You shouldn't be so tough. You'll be embarrassed if you lose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no. I couldn't help it. I was talking like a baby. This air is making my character worse. I'm supposed to be a good girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're going to get yourself killed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even Guilmouth looked at me with dismay. Carl's eyes are definitely gone. If it weren't for the cheat, I'd have run away as soon as I could. His eyes are thinking about how to beat me to death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right. I don't have much more to say to you, so let's get started.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We're facing each other in the middle of the training ground. I'm still pretty scared, my eyes are still f*cked up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Start!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gilmouth gives the signal, and Sylphy hangs the wind wall at the same time. Karl and the others come running in. They're grinning, their faces contorted into ugly grimaces. I've definitely overreacted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take out my magic hammer at maximum size and swing it with a boom. The curls rush to move away from me, either from the pressure of the wind or from surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey! What is that? You're a necromancer, aren't you? Why do you have that thing in your hand?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carl seems to come to his senses in surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because it's my weapon. Can't a necromancer have a weapon?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll swing my hammer around like a buzzard. Guilmouth, the receptionist, and the drunken adventurers in the audience are startled. I feel good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, Yuta! Don't I have to fight?　Aren't you going to make me rethink the genie surgeon?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（No. That's what I thought. Even if Sylphy wins with his power, it's just a matter of time before a good spiritist comes along. Then threatening them with a hammer would be a bigger shock to them.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta. Is your personality getting worse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I admit I'm having fun, but I'm just playing the villain so I don't get licked. Ah. If my bluff doesn't work, I'll ask Sylphy to knock you out.)　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't have the guts to make minced human flesh out of the blue. There may come a time when I will kill humans, but it will not be now. Maybe I need to learn how to beat the crap out of people. Carl and the others have not attacked yet even though I've been talking secretly with Sylphy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's the matter, Carl? I thought you were going to kill me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I twisted his face with a smirk and tried to tease him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're a coward, you know that? You tricked me into believing you were a genie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?　I didn't trick you. I'm a genie. My spiritual arts are much more powerful than this hammer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy's attack power will be stronger than the hammer. I've never seen him before, but he's a great spirit, that's for sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You've got to be kidding me!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm not kidding. If I can't beat you with this hammer, I'll fight you with my spirit magic, so get your ass over here. But this hammer will kill you if it hits you, so try your best to avoid it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He swings the hammer around and finally hits it hard on the ground of the training ground. A loud thud is heard, and a crater is formed in the ground. The ground is bouncing against the wind wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I was thinking that swords and spears are cool, but hammers are also great in such a situation. The power it gives to the opponent is different. If you hit them, you're flattened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmph!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no. I couldn't help but let out a funny laugh. At this rate, my personality is seriously going to take a turn for the worse. Let's calm down a little. I'm a good girl. I'm a good girl. All right, all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Uh, yeah. I hope she freaks out and gives up. If he doesn't give up, then Sylphy's in. When the dust clears, Carl and the others are on their asses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's wrong?　If you won't come at us, we'll come at you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I approach slowly, swinging my hammer around. Carl and the others are shaking their heads side to side, struggling to get away from me. Their mouths are agape and I wonder if they are too startled to speak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Guilmas. What happens in this case?　Since he doesn't seem to be surrendering, it's okay to crush him, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait, wait. Will you guys give up?　If you can't speak up, shake your head."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Karl and the others shake their heads. I call their bluff. Maybe a hammer's a good idea. I could get into the habit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I win. Gilmas. Please cancel their membership."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh-huh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He answered reluctantly. They were willing to let me go. I can't help but feel discriminated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait a minute. We don't want to quit. Can't you make some other deal?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh. How can you try to force someone to quit as an adventurer, and then when you lose, you don't want to quit yourself?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It doesn't matter whether you quit or not, but if you allow it easily, you will be licked again. If we are discriminated and licked, I'm worried about our future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Guilmas. I signed some kind of pledge, but is that pledge something that I don't have to keep if I say I don't want to?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. Unless both parties agree, the pledge was made through the Adventurers' Guild. If only one of you refuses, there is nothing we can do. The Adventurers' Guild will be responsible for fulfilling it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Guilmouth replies in disgust. I'm not looking for a friendly smile, but at least give me a normal face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's what they say, Mr. Karl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You look very desperate. I'm not a S person by nature, so I don't get any enjoyment out of picking on ...... guys.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Guilmouth. What's the price of being a retired adventurer?　If it's something that makes sense to me, I'd be happy to do it that way too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. That being said, money is a fair price to pay for being an adventurer, ...... or what?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What's so difficult about what to do?　I've kept Belle and the others waiting, and I'm not sure how much longer it's going to take.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's a hassle. I understand. You can use all their money. Sell off everything, equipment and all, and bring us the cash, including your savings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh no ......, I can't live like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why don't you borrow money?　You can retire if you don't like it, so take your pick. Don't play the victim when you're the one who got involved."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm getting some kind of a kickback from people around me. Is it my fault?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I'll pay you everything. I'll give you a break."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carl and the others look tragically determined. I feel like telling everyone that I don't have the guts to put a hammer to someone right now. I wonder what their faces will look like when they find out that I'm bluffing about all of this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, man. I want to tell. My mouth is watering. I thought I was playing the heel, but maybe I'm more of a bad person. No, I'm a very nice girl. My reputation is about to take a serious hit, so I'll just have to put up with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. "Okay, Guillermas, that's what I'm asking."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I'll make arrangements to have it cashed in today and ready for you tomorrow. This is your wager."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I get the money I asked you to take care of. Into the magic bag I put sixty-two silver coins. Thirteen large copper coins. Since there were about twenty adventurers betting, each adventurer lost about three silver coins. In Japan, you can lose that much in pachinko games, so I guess it's acceptable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The income was about 630,000 yen. When I smiled and bowed to the drunken adventurers, they turned their eyes away from me with a very unpleasant look on their faces. The adventurer's life is pleasant and convivial. I may have stumbled from the very first step. I feel a bit awkward, so I decide to leave the exchange of the magic stone for cash for tomorrow and quickly find a place to stay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh, ah, receptionist?　I would like to be introduced to a lodge, if that's all right.　I've got some extra income, so if you could introduce me to a place with a slightly better rank, that would be great."　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Please call me Eltina. Would you mind if I stay at a mid-range inn?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Receptionist ...... Eltina's expression is drawn. If this is a love game, her likability is in a negative state.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Please find me a place that serves good food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was leaving the training hall with Ertina's guidance, Guillmas came to talk to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait! I want to ask you a few questions."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A story. I didn't think it would cause this much trouble. I'd like to calm down at the inn and get the information straight. Otherwise, I'm gonna tell you something I shouldn't have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you want to talk about when I was clearly trying to get rid of you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a little sarcasm mixed in. This level of sarcasm should be allowed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, ...... I'd like to hear all about you, your abilities, your goals."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm not going to reveal my cards, so this is just a surface story, okay?　If that is all right with you, we can discuss it tomorrow. I just arrived at the labyrinth city and I want to rest at the inn."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I'll make sure to show you when you come to the Adventurers' Guild tomorrow."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I leave Guilmouth, get a map of the inn from Eltina, and leave the Adventurers' Guild. The way Guilmas and the others were looking at me, I had a feeling that there would be more trouble to come.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I should have asked Sylphy to give me a traumatizingly loud attack instead of threatening me with a hammer.　But I have to admit that I had a lot of fun when I threatened him with the hammer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You take a break from the stares. It was fun from the beginning, but I was tired. I've been sarcastic and arrogant, but maybe I've gone too far.
