Chapter 815 End Of The Year Test

-----

Since our arrival that every day has become rather active. The students, who used to ignore us for the most part, were constantly flocking around us. The entire Stronghold City now knew us as National-level Heroes for some reason, it seemed they couldn't hide this event like it happened with the test involving Beelzebub's Vessel.

This made it so we became extremely popular, which became as I could guess from a mile away, extremely annoying... There was always a new pretty girl around me trying to seduce me, noble girls flocked around me asking where I lived and if I had a fiancée yet.

Some even went as far as ask me out, another simply walked towards me and said that I will become her husband without even elaborating... Noble girls are really too spoiled to state such things out of nowhere.

Naturally, I rejected all of their advances, although I didn't need to do much, Erika, Elizabeth, and Eleanora were always there so they easily spooked out most girls. The braver ones regretted it later once they were beaten by an angry Erika.

Yeah, despite how sweet and gentle she was, Erika went as far as punching in the face the girls that got too cocky... Honestly, I liked that a lot from her.

Aside from these annoying things, other students approached us with different motives. Some wanted us to replace already existing members with them, claiming to be clearly stronger and superior, but they were all rejected.

Through these last weeks, they constantly challenged my party members, seeking to replace them by defeating them on a fight in the arena.

Naturally, they were ridiculed every time, Eric was a big target because he looked weak and shy, but he always beat the shit out of them and humbled them every time.

And that test was...

"Complete a B- Rank Dungeon or above to pass the test." Hector said nonchalantly once more. "As usual, you'll have the whole month to do so and showcase us how much you've grown. Every professor here has been teaching you not only knowledge, but also magic conjuration, skill usage, weapon and protection techniques, and all kinds of other things. And you've been actively visiting dungeons as well, so... To pass the Year 2 test, you need to complete a B- Rank Dungeon or above, as I just said."

"EH?! B Rank already?! Isn't this a bit too fast?!" Rosen panicked. "W-What do I do?! I'm not even THAT strong yet!"

"This is ridiculous! We've been here only for a year and you're telling us to kill ourselves in that dungeon?!" Clarice protested angrily.

"Well, it's your fault because you were the ones that jumped years!" Hector said. "You're supposed to grow stronger in two whole years before ever going to a B Rank Dungeon! Blame yourselves for getting cocky, not us. These are the rules." Hector shut them down rather quickly.

"H-Honestly, not even I am that confident about it..." Monica, who was a Year 2 original student was nervous.

"M-Me neither..." Ash sighed; he was the same as her.

"Looks simple enough." I nodded. "Alright, should we do it today?"

Meanwhile, to me, it just felt like a walk in the park.
