My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

urn to do so.」

She tightly clenched her hands.

「I want to learn your…no, the first generation’s hero’s techniques.」

—

「…maa, that’s it.」

After Mile explained the rules for how one should behave within the guild, he looked at Akira.

The explanation was truly a formality.
It even included common sense things like properly apologizing when you’re in the wrong and the prohibition of leaving the restaurant without paying your bill.

I figured now was a good time to bring up the biggest question on my mind.

「There is a system in place for duels, huh.」

With a slightly troubled look on Mile’s face, he laughed.

「Yes.
the number of duels increase every year, and now, it is a form of entertainment for the many hot-blooded citizens.」

I’ve heard that beastmen were overwhelmingly more hot-blooded than other races, so maa, I was also in approval of the duel system.

Of course, there was no such thing as a duel system in the human and elven Adventurer Guilds.

The Adventurer Guild even has organized gambling around duels.

Seems like it’s becoming quite popular as a spectator event.

「For example, just the other day, a human who wasn’t registered with the Adventurer Guild and a yellow-ranked party got into a fight on the main street.
That human was the guildmaster’s guest, so they shouldn’t have picked a fight with him! Not only did they lose miserably, but their qualifications were revoked  and they were expelled from town while still under the effects of the young man’s magic.」

Oya, that sounds familiar.

Was that fellow some assassin who used that as a pretense to demonstrate his abilities?

「Come to think of it, that guest of the guildmaster looked almost exactly like you….」

Mile looked at me, and stiffened.

「Are you alright? Your face is pale.」

The scene of Mile pointing at me while opening and closing his mouth was extremely amusing.

「Oi, why are you pointing at an adventurer.」

Another adventurer came out from behind Mile who was frozen.

That person, looked at me and tilted his head as if recalling something.

「If I remember correctly, you are….」

I too had some recognition of him.

Before I even started trying to recall it, the other person had answered.

「You’re the assassin-kun who crushed the yellow ranked party.」

When I heard that, I snapped my fingers.

「Aah, you’re the guild member who Linga pushed the cleaning up onto.」

Nn?, the we looked at each other.

Mile watched the two people and was trembling, trying not to laugh.

「Maa, well, I’m Yamato.
Nice to meet you.」

Ahem, he cleared his throat and held out his right hand.

I gripped that hand firmly.

Something about this guy reminded me of Kyousuke.

「I’m Oda Akira.
I should be the one saying that.
Please take care of me.」
