Marie went into extensive detail about the benefits of being an adventurer, and there were many of them, first of all they can sell monster carcasses and more for a better price than what they're bought outside for some reason, and also, they can buy these same materials and other products such as potions, equipment, and more for a decreased price, the higher the rank the higher the difference of prices, apparently. Aside from that, there is also the ability to pick the quests dependent of your rank, and also the ability to enter dungeons that the guild or the nation owns, I don't know about dungeons away from their jurisdiction but that's just no man's land, at that point they don't care, nor they have to know.
But most likely the dungeons that are owned are guarded by soldiers so you can't easily sneak inside and need to show them that you're an adventurer of a fitting rank to enter the dungeon, makes sense. Of course we can violate those rules and do whatever we want but it is preferable to go along with the flow for now and not do anything that might break the immersion too much, being an overpowered dragon sometimes kills the fun of life's daily life challenges.
"Your rank can increase over time by completing quests and bringing monsters to sell, we'll slowly gather your prophecies and then the guild master will decide if you're either deserving of such a rank up or not." Said Marie. "Don't worry, our guild master is a very gentle-hearted elf man, so he doesn't have any bias."
"An elf! I see…" I said. "Well, is that it? I think we get it."
"Yes, that's it… Guild Trainer Sir Ogurr will categorize your abilities and see if you're capable of being an adventurer." Said the girl. "Those that are not qualified or cannot defeat him cannot become one, sadly."
"We understand, can we go now?" I wondered.
"Yep… Come with me, I think he's waiting for you in the backyard of the building." Said the girl.
We walked to the backyard of the guild, where many people were apparently training their weapon techniques and even magic spells against dummies or sparring between each other, there were a few other Guild Trainers, who are seasoned Adventurers that now dedicate themselves to teach younger and newbie Adventurers how to fight using techniques, magic, and brawns.
They're probably more expert than me in dungeon diving, because I barely have any experience other than decimating everything with brute force… Sometimes I wish I was weaker so I could gather better experience in these basic things which I ended skipping completely… Well, maybe we'll encounter stronger dungeons in the future.
The adventurers training here quickly stopped doing what they were doing, from giants to humans, elves, and we even saw a dwarf and some beast-kin around, the parties were pretty varied actually, it seems that adventurers are able to appreciate team variety to complement one another in their journey, that's good, that's good, they better do this more because if they don't then it is completely wasted potential!
However, the bastards were looking at us as if we were the new laughingstock, they couldn't even feel our mana auras because we were suppressing them, and some dumb idiots were pointing at Benladann carrying a baby as if it were funny…
A tall, brown-skinned man then greeted us, he had three sharp horns on his forehead and two large tusks coming from his lower jaw, he was a Mountain Giant, and an ugly and manly one at that, his body was packed with muscles, and he was almost bare-chested if it wasn't for the leather chest armor over his chest. The man wore some basic white pants and brown boots and was carrying a giant sword with him.
"I'm Ogurr, the Trainer for Warriors and also any newbie that think they got the knack for adventuring." Said the guy, standing up and looking at my face.
"Being a giant doesn't make you the strongest, son, a group of slime can still eat you up and if you fall for those goblin traps, you're as good as dead too." Said the man.
"I think I can do it." I said. "I've fought monsters before."
"You look way too delicate for adventuring!"
"Yeah, what with those clothes? Are you from a sect or something?"
"He looks like a noble…"
"Send him back home!"
The adventurers began to laugh at me for no reason other than appearacnes, I guess this is some sort of beginner ritual everybody has to go through? Benladra was already getting angered and anxious and if I don't end this quickly she'll blast the place with her breath attack.
"Oi, you bastards! You dare insult my husband?! Who wants to tell him that again after I smack you with my two axes!"
However, Benladann was quicker to provoke, she raised her two axes and the majority of the adventurers pulled back in fear, she wasn't emanating any sort of mana but her roars were intimidating enough.
"W-What a woman…" Muttered Ogurr.
"W-Woah, missy…"
"Calm down!"
"Okay…"
"She's a mother with those two huge axes?"
Miranda was holding Benladra while Benladann intimidated the adventurers, but it was getting already a bit too much, we had to quickly beat the ass of this guy to get qualified.
"Okay can we start? I am getting bored of hearing idiots."
"Sure thing, come here."
Ogurr made me follow him to a cleaner area of the backyard, the adventurers still gathered around looking at us with interest, some even began to bet how quick I would bite the dust, Ogurr was indeed a strong guy, he emanated the aura of a Rank 3 Peak Stage man, that was already a veteran and seasoned fighter in this world. His primary element was quite obvious based in the pressure that he emanated, which was so heavy that it seemed to distort gravity slightly, and even more, he seemed to be a special evolution of mountain giant, as he had some rocky horns growing around his shoulders.
