章節 63: Arrival of Examiners
"So, this is Thrine Town. This look more like a dump to me," an arrogant voice exclaimed as the person look around the place.
"Be nice. It's not their fault for this town be located at such remote spot," another voice chided the first one, though his arrogant tone make it obvious he also looked down at the place.
"Behave, we will find an inn to rest for the night. Tomorrow, we will test the adventurers," a gruff voiced silence the bickering.
"Yes, but make sure to push them to the limit, and don't go easy on them. I want to see the look on Grul's face as he watched how weak his Bronze candidate compare to a real Bronze Adventurers," an old voice said out loud.
"Understood, head!"

Soon, the group arrived at the Thrine Town Adventure Guild. The leader, a huge man with gray armor pushed the door, making a show.
The sudden appearance of the new person, surprised the adventurers. However, whisper began to resound the moment they see the Bronze badge on the man.
Grul had been at the counter, and so, he see what the large man did. He rubbed his forehead, already feeling a headache coming in.
"Jale, order your dog to not make a mess," Grul exclaim as he began to regret waking up today.
"Stand down," the large man did so, but not before sneering at the adventurers who looked at him in awe.
"Please don't cause trouble or I will order you to leave," Mr. Grul said with a harsh tone.
"My men are here to test your candidate, Grul. Unless you want to deprive them of their promotion, you can order my men to leave," Jale said with a big smile.
"Yet this does not mean you can cause havoc in another branch, Jale," a voice come from behind the counter as the receptionist glared at the other man.
"And why does a mere receptionist act all high and mighty to the head. Mr. Jale is the head of Trun Town, a much larger branch. His rank is much higher compared to the head of this branch," the man sneered.
The receptionist sighed before he vanish from view. In a second, a scream was heard as the one who threatened Mr. Grul is on the ground, as his face was slammed to the floor.
"It seem your men is not so educated, Jale. Either you make them behave or I will make sure you are no longer the head of Trun Town Branch," the receptionist hissed.
"You can't do that!" one of the adventurers that came yelled.
"Yes I can," he took out a badge, which is similar to what Mr. Grul and Jale have, but instead of bronze and silver, this one is gold.
"Yo-you a-are-" "Yes, I am a Gold-rank executive and I have right to remove anyone who I think is unsuitable from the rank of executive. So behave or I suspend your adventurers' badge as well," the receptionist said before releasing the man he caught.
"This is your last warning Jale," he glared at the man, making him piss slightly, "Keep you men in leash or I beat them up myself," he then left the room.
"Here is your inn's room. I already book enough room for all of you. Make sure to not cause trouble and cause the guild to lose face, or the Executive Silver Fist will make sure you regret it," Mr. Grul warned them before telling them the direction to the inn.
As the group grumbled and left the place, Grul looked at the receptionist with a smile. "To be honest, I am surprised by the fact you are actually a Gold-Rank executive,"
The receptionist laughed, "Well, you should know me and my colleague cannot be known by the others," he replied.
"Yes," Silver Fist and his colleagues are the hidden inspector of the guild. They make sure the guild's rules are being followed, as well as weeding out corrupt executives and take down problematic adventurers.
Their group are called the Silent Wind, which sound like a good name but can have a different meaning.
Truly, Silver Fist are someone cursed to be stuck with horrible names.

Few minutes later, Kell and his party enter the building, something he is grateful for or his candidate will might fight Bronze rank adventurers so soon.
"Mr. Grul, I want to ask the time of our test," Kell asked.
"Sure, no problem. The test will start around 9, and will end after the last member did the final test," he told them.
"Is the arrangement random? I mean, who start first, who's next and so on," Kell tried to clear thing for the older man.
"The guild decide it, but you can give your thought," he said.
"In that case, Fiona will start first, followed by Lisa, then Ana, Ian, and lastly, me," Kell told the arrangement in his mind.
"Really, why?" the arrangement is all over the place, or so, Mr. Grul thought. As he listen to Kell explanation, a wicked grin appear on his face.
"Of course, there will be no problem to follow the arrangement,"
-x-
"Damn that Grul!" Jale slammed his fist into the table, his teeth gritting as he tried to calm down, and failing.
"Mr. Jale. You might not be able to show the head of this trash town his place, but we can still do it for you," the big man, as well as the leader of the Crimson Blood, exclaimed.
"Yes, you are right. I want you to crush the candidate. I want you to break them to pieces," he ordered his adventurers.
"I will follow it, but Mr. Jale, what about the Gold-Rank executive?" he reminded Jale of another obstacle in his way.
"While he can stop us from causing a ruckus, he can't stop what happened during the test. As long as you hold back somewhat, just appearing so, mind you, then the executive will not know a thing," Jale spoke confidently.
"If you say so head. In that case, we will make sure the candidate will not leave the place without a few broken bones, or limbs,"
