In the Adventurer's Guild registration test, you will have a mock battle with an examiner.
　However, you don't have to beat the examiner, and even if you lose, you basically pass the test.
　The purpose of the exam, then, is to measure your current abilities and to arrange quests accordingly.

　Ko Ko Kosaka's registration exam was over in just a few seconds.

　At the signal to begin, Ko wielded a hikino mallet and slammed it into the examiner, Guise Ischer, in a horizontal cleave.
　Guise was flung almost horizontally and smashed into the wall of the training grounds.
　The impact was so tremendous that the entire training area shook and grains of sand fell from the ceiling in a flurry.

''I think I went too far .......''

　Ko's mutterings echoed through the training grounds.
　The galleries were all at a loss for words.
I had heard about Ko's ability, the 《Bear Killer》, but I didn't expect him to defeat the examiner with a single blow. ......
　Everyone was surprised by the unexpected result, and then fearfully turned their gaze toward Guise, who was slumped against the wall.

　To my surprise, Guise was not even grazed.

...... How can I be safe?

　Giese didn't seem to be able to comprehend the situation and wondered at the way he was still stuck in the wall.
　The galleries just nodded their heads and didn't seem to understand what was going on.

'Hey, do you have any idea what's going on?'
I don't know. All I know is that I don't know what the f*ck you're talking about.
'Normally, an attack like that would kill you instantly. What's going on ......?

　As if to answer their questions, Ko raised his wooden mallet and announced.

''This wooden mallet has been given the ''Handful S+''. So no matter how roughly you hit it, the opponent will never take any damage.
""What the hell? ......!"

　The galleries were all astonished.

'It doesn't make sense, why would he use such a weapon?
I mean, you know, just to beat him up long enough to keep him alive.
'Oh man, ...... 《bear killer》, seriously, ......'

　Hmmm, this is turning out to be somewhat unexpected.
　I was pondering what to do in front of the gallery, which was slightly drawn out.

'Miria-san said, 'The person in charge is stronger than Armored Bear,' so I gave it my all: ......

　When the test started, you can see that it was still there.
　I'm glad I decided to use Hikino's Hammer because it was a mock battle.
　Thank you, "Tame S+".
　If I had used a different weapon, I would have seriously injured the examiner.

　And, this is no time to be thinking about it.
　If this is the case, it's going to create a weird bad reputation, so let's show off our good guy appeal, if only for a moment.

　I approached Giese, who was "inside the wall," and put my hand between his body and the wall and pulled him out of the wall.

'Are you okay?　Are you hurt?
I think I'm okay. Thank you.

　Mr. Giese felt around on his body to make sure there was nothing wrong.

''Yeah, there's no problem. It's amazing that it's called "Tame S+". There's almost no pain.
'I'm glad to hear that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry you're in so much trouble. ......
No, no, I'm very proud of myself for being in charge of such a huge newcomer's exam. ...... But then again, you're pretty polite to look at, aren't you?
Is that so?
'Adventurers don't use respectful language, you know.

　Oops, I forgot about that.
　Is it because I'm Japanese, or is it because of the way I talk so politely whenever I'm a little off my game?

"I usually advise newcomers to stop using honorific language ...... but you might as well keep it. You won't get licked, and in fact, you'll come across as a tough guy.

　I'm not trying to be a strongman or anything, so it's okay.

Anyway, let's say you pass the registration exam. It's a fate that this is some kind of fate, so you should come visit my house next time. My daughter loves bears, and I'm sure she'll be very happy to see you dressed like that.
Thank you. I'll be sure to visit you when it's convenient.

　Is this one of the connections?
　I don't know how high the status of the Adventurer's Guild instructor is, but as someone who was suddenly thrown into a different world, I'm grateful for it. The more connections you have, the more useful they are.

　By the way, the wall of the training ground, I was not billed for the repair costs.
　On the contrary, it seems to have been left with a hole in it.
　As for the reason, Guise told me later in a whispered voice.

''Since we're competing with the mercenary guild for market share, we want as many specialties as possible to appeal to the outside world. We want to have one or more specialties that will appeal to the outside world. At least that's what our guild master seems to think.

　And that's it.
　I don't dislike the attitude that you don't get up for free when you fall down.
