Manuke FPS

Chapter 17: (unedited)

TL: kamisuzaku

 At the general guild annex, I knew that I got the qualifications for the D rank promotion test, I immediately enter the main building of the general guild and proceed to the adventurer registration reception counter, its there that I was being taken in charge for my adventurer registration, and the elf Milimaria was sitting.

Welcome to the general guilds branch of Varga of the Kurt Merga kingdom, oh youre Schwarz san, wasnt it?

Hello, Milimaria san. Saved up guild points increased at last. I request the application for the promotion test.

Finally, how Schwarz san is youre a Manuke isnt it? Finishing saving the guild points without one month passing yet

You know that Im a Manuke right? (TL: not sure about this: )

 Milimaria san, thereupon looking slightly embarrassed, when I did the adventurer registration, talked about what the crystal referred in the biometric record.

That crystal, when copying biometrics data into the guild card, first blink white then colored in accordance with the number and attribute of abilities and skills ones hold, I hear that it repeats the blinks. However, when my date were copied it only blinked once with basic data, from that long task Milimaria san understood at once that from my magical power theres no magic coming out.

Which reminds me, at that time Ashley san and Milimaria were surprised with something Therefore Ashley san noticed it too.

Its that sort of reason, maa however theres really no problem. Actually its like this because I repeated and increased request achievement.

Such thing right, still Im honestly surprised, the reason being for Schwarz san to have that much of strength. Well then for Im also the staff member responsible of the registration counter, Ill do my best to carry out my duties. However for the promotion test to D rank, the test subject is in the eastern forest of Bargas fortified city, youll go towards the Wolfs Fang labyrinth together with the examiner, and youll have to travel the 1st underground floor and reach the 2nd underground floor.

Eh? Is that it?

Schwartz san, although its the labyrinths first floor, its by no means an easy place. Besides, this test, rather than a test of aptitude of D rank, while adding a D rank raising of status, it forces the way of a training-like nuance for the sake of the requirements of a labyrinth explorer.

I see, I understand now. And what does a typical schedule of the test sound like?

It takes one day for preparations of an examiner, please come to the general guild main building the day after tomorrow in the morning. Also, in the level applied for the application test of D rank raising of status, youll be able to browse the materials related to the labyrinth at the Archives.

Since youll return on the same day of the appointed day, preparations for camping arent needed, test begins after gathering necessary goods and tools for the labyrinth exploration such as food and so forth. Please, check up by yourself what you need.

I understand, the day after tomorrow is it?

 Thanking Milimaria san, I left the general guild main building and returned to the White Flower Pavilion of the Labyrinth.

 The next day preparing for tomorrows test, I went first to the general guilds grounds at the Archives. These Archives have three floors, theres an uncertain underground floor, and in the primarily floors above ground, various documents and books on nature are placed, in the uncertain underground floor it is said theres related data on the labyrinth.

Related data on the labyrinth arent generally opened to the public, easily exploring for being sure ones life isnt hunted in the labyrinth, it seems they limit information. (TL: note sure for this part: )Though the nature of the danger should be well known, still theres many reckless adventurers that are eager for a challenge, a group of low rank made a reckless attempt in the past, it seems it wasnt able to suppress it after being excited by the labyrinth.

 Hence, basically they kept away general information concerning labyrinth, and also its said that those who explore labyrinth are told not to make public information of easy labyrinth. However, those people are curious beings who want to know about these secrets, conversely the adventurer with interest in concealing arent few either, for this type of fellow that becomes D rank there isnt also any restriction, rather say what is less than adventurers who also dont become D rank, turning into such typical position as privilege rank, those less than adventurer aiming at that privilege, for not less than D rank dont look down and keep awareness of the value of that privilege easily. (TL: should get an editor for this part :s)

 The authorization for entering the underground floor for the D rank promotion test was left, currently it was the opening of nothing but the space concerning the fundamental knowledge of the labyrinths first floor underground.

It seems other is opened after passing. Several books are brought to the reading space, necessary stuff for exploration, checking fundamental knowledge and so forth.

I use the screen capture function of the head googles, and save with the capture the too many places I cant memorize. There was also the map of the first floor underground of the Wolfs fang labyrinth becoming the future test.

 Apart basic knowledge that was known in relation to the labyrinth, the area of each level changes to the extent of the labyrinths growth, the Labyrinth also exists for hundreds of years without being captured, the bottom layers deep limits are not known, however it is said theres only 10 layers in newborn labyrinths.

Passage width of labyrinths inside is 8 ~ 10m, with a small room in the way theres also a wide room exceeding 20m. Because theres basically no light in the passage, explorers always bring a kind of white light grass at the time of a labyrinth exploration, go and treat as only a job the thing of sowing seeds in dark place.

The sown seeds grow with the labyrinths magic, when the flowers bloom shining in white it brings light in the passage, labyrinths magic beasts and sub-races, since showing no interest in the white light grass, its said it keeps on blooming and continues to absorb the magic.

 Magic beasts and sub-races in the labyrinth, the labyrinth creates it using magic power into cores of magic stones, a kind of illusion, the labyrinth spits out magic ingredient in the nature, summoning magic beasts and sub-races in the surroundings, reading this information, it seems it creates the same one within the labyrinth.

Because, in order to subjugate the labyrinth from the inside while destroying or collecting the large magical stone, in the labyrinths surroundings a powerful seed must be gathered so that a superior kind should not be created, its necessary to keep on subjugating it.

 Magic beasts and sub-races in nature can of course use raw material of corpses, fundamentally when specimen of inside the labyrinth are defeated only magic stone are left behind. However, inside magic materials are thoroughly absorbed, the specimen it took hold are transformed becoming superior kind, besides magic stones parts with high magic seems sometimes to fall as drop item, thats a feature corner encountered, if living armors are summoned, from the moment it was created it carries a sword or a shield.

 Still, equipment and belongings of explorers that died within the labyrinth are also absorbed in it, that is sucking magic material of the labyrinth, it seems sometimes are spit out as magic items inside the labyrinth, and doesnt fall into the wayside, there happens to be in a large room inside of the labyrinth a pedestal, it seems to appear in a concealed passage inside a wayside shrine.

Why do something like this appear? Its a mystery. Among researchers concerning labyrinths predation target are common races and beasts races, its said its bait to draw people inside the labyrinth, its said also its a game.

Life struggle of adventurers with the labyrinth, I dont feel strictly unrelated more than I thought

 Murmuring so, I closed the book I was reading and swiftly I remember that I am hungry.

I was hungry, Ill go back and buy tools for tomorrows aim.

 Ill equip for tomorrows D rank promotion test, for today I should quickly go to bed.
