Chapter 702 Making A Decision!

-----

The week ended, and the other student parties all managed to clear their dungeons. Our grades were the best there were, Monica included. Even Rosen's party, the one that underperformed the most as they took too long in completing a dungeon, still got a 90 in their grades.

"I guess the entire damn class pass! Amazingly done." Hector was shocked. "Now, Monica and Blake's party, come with me. Director Hasan has something to say to you all. This... involves what happened to Monica, and also what's going on in the Silvertide Kingdom." n0vεluSb.c0m

We were swiftly invited to the director's office once more, as he sighed, looking at us with a rather exhausted expression.

"You brats, do you really want to do this?" He asked.

Some days ago, we discussed the possibility of sending a few parties of this class to Silvertide, including Monica's party, to fend off the demons, secure her territory, and more.

Of course, because we were just second year, he thought it was a ridiculous thing. Nonetheless, once we gave him enough reasons, one of them blaming Stronghold and the Continental Alliance for doing almost nothing to help Silvertide, it seems that guilt won over his heart.

"If Stronghold and the Continental Alliance are going to be so useless, there's no other way around it." I sighed. "You already know we defeated a Demon Lord just some days ago, and that we also destroyed the vessel of an archdemon. Are you still doubting what we are capable of?"

"..." Hasan remained in silence, staring right into my eyes. "Your power has increased a lot since the last time I saw you... Are you close to achieve Rank 4?"

"More or less." I nodded with a smile. "If I get there and slay as many demons as I can, I get to level up and you get to have a problem out of your list of endless responsibilities. You can even earn prestige out of this by getting all the praises while you did nothing, we all win."

"Tch, brat, do you really think I'm not helping them because I don't want to?!" Hasan hit the table, which quickly split into two. "We're already being pressured by the Dark Continent in the north! All our troops are being constantly sent there, that's the stronghold of humanity! If we divide our forces too thin, the demon's will simply overtake the entire damn continent! I... Ugh, I'm sorry, students. I shouldn't had gone so far." He quickly calmed himself.

"It's fine..." Monica sighed. "I know that nobody is having it easy."

"So? Stop being a pussy and just let us go." I said, getting tired of his melodrama.

"Y-You're calling an S Rank Adventurer a pussy?! You damn brat! Ugh... if I wasn't so busy I would had gone myself there! Argh! Damned demons! Fuck it! Alright, go and fucking die if you really want to! I'm tired of you!" He roared angrily. "And all of you! Are you sure you want to follow this madman to the ends of hell?!"

Everyone nodded, Hasan suddenly felt paralyzed.

"Of course! Blake is the man I love, why wouldn't?" Elizabeth smiled. "I'll watch his back."

"He's my boyfriend! I wouldn't be a god girlfriend if I left him behind, wouldn't I be?" Erika giggled.

"Blake is like a big brother to me..." Eric smiled. "Even if I am afraid, I can't stay behind when he's going there. I'm going, even... if I have to put my life on the line."

"O-Of course!" Alberta nodded. "Eric is going so I'm going t-too!"

"I don't even need an explanation." Erdrich crossed his arms.

"All the way!" Chris nodded. "If I can earn prestige and glory out of this, even more! Blake's my best friend. And everyone else in here is like my family. Also if I get enough recognition maybe the girls will know my name..."

"Hmph, I would honestly not go, I have nothing to do there." Elfriedden crossed his arms. "However... Blake promised me he would come to my kingdom's aid in the near future. And for that, I will help."

"E-Everyone..." Monica was left speechless.

"Okay, Hasan, just make this into a... trip or something. A student trip to learn more about another country, or whatever." I laughed. "So?"

"...I'm already writing the documents." Hasan sighed, his huge arms writing down several papers. "I'll get things done as fast as possible. I am well aware that Monica's father is missing... That man was one of my students. And a war veteran too, I can't give you any manpower, but I can give you money and resources if that's what you need. Of course, don't abuse it."

"Good, then, I want at least five hundred C Rank Spirit Orbs, and a thousand D Rank Spirit Orbs. Also, I need any sort of dragon-type monster materials you can find. Even the lowest grade one's work." I smiled. "Also, some high-quality materials, weapons, armor, and potions."

"You're asking too much! Ugh, I'll see what I can get..." Sighed Hasan. "But I ain't giving you all for free! Okay?! Just a discount..."

"90% Discount for this good student?" I laughed.

"90%?! Only 30%!" He said.

"80%"

"I said 30%!"

"I'll settle down on 70%"

"You brat! Okay... 40%!"

"60%, no less."

"Tch... Fine 50%! I won't go any further! I swear on my mother's name!"

"...Alright."

It is a good thing I've been saving tons of money from all the sales in my small shop, and also the high-quality materials we've been constantly farming out of the dungeons before exploring the C Rank dungeon.

"Do it quickly, we're moving as fast as possible. Silvertide is becoming a nest of demons, if this continues any further, they'll quickly expand to the nearby Kingdoms, and one of them is the Goldriver Kingdom... I won't let them get there." I swore on my name.

"That resolve of yours feels like it shouldn't even belong to someone your age." Hasan laughed. "You're an amusing kid, I tell you that... I'll get this done as quickly as possible. Until then, all of you should prepare."

"Thank you Director..." Monica sighed, feeling slightly relieved.
