Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Guild Leader and Saving Sherina.
C16: Guild Leader and Saving Sherina.
Meanwhile in the Materials Assessment Room. Miss Maya and Zero's Group have arrived in the room.
Maya said, "Okay now you can take out the materials needed from your Quest.!!"
Zero said, "Alright Miss Maya."
Zero also took out the materials needed in the Quest. 10x Mushrooms, 20x Gorberries, 10x Herb Plants, 10x Horns From Horned Rabbits, 10x Horned Rabbits corpses, 5x Gorlizards corpses, 3x Gorboars corpses, 290x Goblins Ears, 10x HobGoblins Ears, and 1x Goblin Lord Ear.
"Okay, Zero. After seeing the materials, you have been declared to have completed the Quest. And I will calculate the amount of rewards you get, so wait a few minutes.!!!" Maya said.
A few minutes later, Maya had calculated the amount of income that Zero would receive.
"According to the Guild's rules, the Guild will take 20% of the reward obtained by the adventurer. So the adventurer gets 80% of the mission reward. If the adventurer sells the material to the Guild, the Guild will take 30% of the total price of the material sold and the adventurer will get 70% of the price of the material sold. Do you understand?" Maya said.
'Damn. That's Robbery.' Zero Thought.
"But isn't 30% too much, isn't it detrimental to me or others who sell their materials to the guild?" Zero asked.
"That's the Guild's rule if too many people sell their materials to the Guild. The guild doesn't get any profit. If Mr. Zero doesn't like the percentage tax, please sell the material elsewhere. Do you understand?" Maya said.
'Doesn't get any profit? My Ass...' Zero Thought.
"Okay... Okay... I understand, Miss Maya. So how much do I get?" Zero asked.
"According to All Quest Rewards, you completed a total of 13 Gold coins. Then According to the rules of the Guild, you get 10 Gold coins and 4 Silver coins while the Guild gets 2 Gold coins and 6 Silver coins. While related to the Goblin ears, it means that it is included if you have sold the material to the Guild because there is no Quest. 1 Goblin ear is worth 1 Silver coin, 1 HobGoblin ear is worth 3 Silver Coins, and 1 Goblin Lord ear is worth 1 Gold. So the total is 32 Gold coins, You will get 22 Gold coins and 4 Silver coins. While the Guild gets 9 Gold coins and 6 Silver coins. So the total you receive is 32 Gold coins & 8 Silver coins." Maya said.
She continued,
"Are you okay with the amount?"
"It's okay. Miss Maya." Zero said.
And he continued by asking Maya.
"Oh by the way. How much is the selling price of 20x Orc Corpses, Miss Maya?"
"Depends on each level, Orc Corpses are around 5 Silver Coins, Orc Warrior Corpses are worth around 1 Gold coin, Orc General Corpses are worth 5 Gold Coins, While Orc King is worth around 25 Gold coins. What level of Orc Body did you get? And take it out now"
"It seems like just a normal Orc Level. Okay Miss Maya"
Then Zero took out the Orc Corpse in front of Miss Maya. After looking at the corpses of the 20x Orcs.
"This is the corpse of an Orc Warrior, So the total value is around 20 Gold coins. According to the rules of the guild, you will get 14 Gold coins. Plus the previous transaction you will receive 46 Gold coins and 8 Silver coins. Oh ya. I almost forgot, The Damage of property that you have destroyed is totally cost 30 Gold coins. But you only need to pay half, that was according to what Gulid Leader say. So it's 15 Gold coins compensation, and that will deducting from your reward. Then you will reiceve 31 Gold coins and 8 Silver coins. Is there anything else you want to sell to the Guild?" Maya said.
"It seems enough for this time." Zero answered.
"Okay then, I will prepare the money first. You can wait in the Guild waiting room."
Then Maya rushed to prepare money for Zero, while Zero and his 3 Maids went to the Guild waiting room to wait for the process of receiving the money. 10 minutes later Miss Maya returned and met with Zero's Group in the Guild waiting room.
"This is your reward and money for selling the material, Thank you for your hard work and cooperation. Zero."
"Oh, you're welcome. I also Thank you for being willing to serve us."
"It's okay, Oh yes By the way give me your Adventure's ID token."
"Okay, Miss Maya. Here you go."
Then Maya received Zero's Adventure's ID Token. Then exchanged it with a new Dark Green Token and gave it back to Zero. Zero received the ID token and looked at his new Adventure ID Token.
"Does this mean I've risen to D-Rank Adventure rank?"
"Yes, congratulations Zero on your rank increase. You are now a D-Rank Adventurer. You are the fastest person to rise in rank when you just started being an adventurer."
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Maya. By the way, what kind of person is the Guild Leader? And what is his name?"
"The Guild Leader is named George Leander, he is a former S-Rank Adventurer who has a class/profession as a Gallant Tank. He has stopped being an adventurer 30 years ago. However, even so, The Guild Master from The Main Base Of Adventure Guild still keeps him because he has been meritorious during his career as an adventurer for 120 years. Thanks to his meritorious service, The Guild Master made him the Guild Branch Leader of the Adventure Guild at Radagas Town. He is quite a good person and is quite fair to his colleagues. Besides that, he is a person who does not like the world of politics or the like. When the Monster Stampede occurred 5 years ago, he led the troops at the front. Thanks to his leadership and his resilience as a Gallant Tank, Radagast Town managed to survive until help from the main forces of the Heartfillia kingdom arrived to help them eradicate the Monsters. Finally, Radagast Town managed to win during the Monster Stampede."
"Wow... He seems like a good and reliable person. Then what about the Guild Master of the Main Base of the Adventure Guild? And where is the Main Base of the Adventure Guild located?"
"The Main Base of the Adventure Guild is in the Central Continent, more precisely in the city of Freedom. The city of Freedom is located in the Southeast of the Central Continent, which borders the Lionheart Empire, Brunhild Empire, Magus World Associate and The Union of The Twelve Ancient Families. As for what The Guild Master is like? I don't know much either. So is there anything else you want to ask?"
"I think that's enough, Thank you Miss Maya for the information."
"You're welcome, Zero. Now it's my turn to ask you. What skills do you have, Zero? Because when you attacked the members of The Wolf Fang party, I detected that the skills you used did not emit any mana energy at all. Likewise when you destroyed the Iron Stone Doll in the Ability Test Field."
'He seems quite sharp.' Zero thought.
"Well... Miss Maya. That is my secret, I will not tell you. If you want to know badly, Then tell me your secret too. So maybe I can share my secret. !!"
"W-What ...?"
"Okay, see you again, Miss Maya. Thank you for your service."
Then Zero turned around and immediately left the Adventure Guild Hall and went home. While Anna, Renia, and Delia followed behind Zero. While Maya just stood there in shock.
'D-Did he know who am I? N-No... That is Impossible... Maybe he just wants to know me, As I also want to know more about him.!!!' Maya thought.
Not long after, Maya returned to her reception desk. To clean up and immediately rush home.

Meanwhile in the healing room in the Adventure Guild Hall building. The six members of the Wolf Fang party were being treated there, they were lying there and still unconscious. However, 10 minutes later. The leader of the party who was a Warrior, suddenly woke up and regained consciousness.
"Ugh... W-Where am I? What is happening? Why does my body feel very hurt?" The Warrior said.
"Hnn... Looks like you've regained consciousness Hughie.."
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
This warrior was named Hughie, the Leader of The Wolf Fang Party. When he heard someone's voice talking to him, he turned to the source of the voice and he was shocked.
"G-Guild L-Leader?" he said, and he continued.
"W-Why am I being like this, and w-where am I?"
"Huh. Looks like you've forgotten what made you like this, and you're currently in the healing room inside the Adventure Guild building."
"Huh. What are you talking about, Guild Leader? W-W-Wait... I remember now, That guy... Yes. That guy was the one who did it to me and my party. I swear, I will take revenge again against him.!!"
"Well... Good luck with that. I came here to collect some Medical fees for your party, and I also want you to pay the damage to the property of the Adventure Guild. I want you to pay the money through Miss Maya."
"W-What? What do you mean by damaging the property? That guy hit us, so we were thrown out 100 meters. If you want to blame, Then blame him.."
"Do you think I don't know what you did? Don't think I am Blind? You are the one who started first, and that kid is self-defending against your party. I already gave that kid a punishment by paying half of the damaged property. And Now your party will also pay the other Half. The damage for your party to pay was 15 Gold coins, plus the medical fee is 30 Gold coins. So The total money your party must pay is 45 Gold coins. If you don't pay it by tomorrow afternoon, You will meet my wrath. Because I know the characteristics of the six of you. So that's enough, hopefully, you can change your behavior. And I advise you once again, Never provoke that kid or you will die at the hands of that kid."
Then George The Guild Branch Leader of Adventure Guild left the healing room. While Hughie was silent, in his mind he always wanted revenge because he felt ashamed of being defeated by a kid.

in the Evening.
On the way home, Zero's Group became the center of attention. Because they saw him walking with three beautiful and sexy girls according to their version. However, Zero just ignored them and continued on his way. But soon he heard a familiar voice. When he used his senses, he was surprised to see Sherina trying to take back her bag from the three thugs. However, suddenly Sherina's hands were held tightly by two thugs. Then she was dropped to the ground and locked so she couldn't move. Sherina's location was at the end of a small road 40 meters from Zero's location. Seeing that, he got ready to save Sherina.
Zero said to his three Maids, "You three quickly hold on to me, I have to save someone I know."
"Yes, Master."
Then the three of them held on tightly. Anna and Reina held one side of Zero's hand, while Delia hugged Zero tightly from behind. Feeling something soft and gentle against his body, and also smelling the scent of the three girls' bodies made him aroused.
'tsk... Damn... calm down my Dragon. I must focus and hurry up to save Sherina..'
'Wind God Art: 2nd Stage, Speed Force.'
1 second later Zero appeared behind the three thugs, while the three thugs did not realize the presence of Zero's group. They instead tried to restrain Sherina who tried to struggle.
"Hey. You three Bastard Thugs."
Hearing a sudden voice from behind them, those who were busy restraining Sherina suddenly stopped and turned toward the source of the voice. But when they turned back, suddenly the sound of a sword slash was heard.
* Slash *
*Thud* Thud* Thud*
And the three thugs' heads rolled on the ground, and the headless bodies spurted blood like a fountain.
*Sspuurrrsshhh*
And not long after that, the three headless thugs' bodies also collapsed to the ground. Seeing this incident so quickly, made Anna, Reina, Delia, and Sherina show pale and shocked facial expressions. Because this was the first time they had seen someone killed by being beheaded, the blood gushed out like a fountain from the headless body. Seeing their expressions, Zero lifted Sherina so she could stand up again first. Then he brought Sherina closer to his three Maids, after that he turned around and burned the three corpses. After being burned to nothing, Zero returned to the side of the four girls who were standing dazed.
"Is this your first time seeing this? I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. I let you see something unpleasant." Zero said.
"N-No... Master. You just did something right to these disgusting people." Reina said.
"Yes, Reina is right. Master." Anna said.
"Master, please don't apologize to us. You didn't do something wrong, But you have done something very great by saving this girl." Delia said.
Then Zero turned to Sherina, and said, "Are you okay, Sherina?"
Sherina who was dazed then came to her senses and could only answer. "Huh... Oh, I am sorry, I was dazed a moment ago. I am fine, and Thank you sir for saving me. So H-How do you know my name, Sir? And why do you look familiar to me?"
Zero said, "No problem. As for how I know your name, it's because I am Zero. Sherina!!"
Sherina was surprised to hear it, and then she said, "Eh... Big Brother Zero? Big Brother Zero who was to be a worker at Mom's tavern, but you look different now. You are more handsome and more macho than before. How could you change this fast, Big Brother? And where have you been the last 2-3 days, Big Brother Zero?"
"It's a long story if I will tell you, but I am becoming an Adventure right now. Sherina!! Oh yeah. By the way, why are you here, do you know this place is dangerous for a sweet girl like you?" Zero said.
"That's because one of the thugs stole my bag when I was about to go home. I immediately chased him here, and without me realizing he had 2 of his friends who were waiting for me there. I tried to grab my bag back, but I was powerless against the three of them at once. The result was that I was thrown to the ground, and they tried to rape me. But I tried to fight back until finally I was saved by you, Big Brother Zero. You are my Hero now!!!"
"Okay... okay... Now how about I take you home? That way you will be safe during the trip home.!!"
"Yeah... That's what I want, Big Brother Zero. And by the way, who are these three beautiful sisters? Why do they call you Master?"
"I will explain on the way, You three follow me. Let's go.."
"Understood Master." His maids said in unions.
"Yeah... Let's go Big Brother, My mother will be happy seeing you again."
Then they went to take Sherina to her house.
