Chapter 91 – Memoirs (1)

The S-class qualification, which is the minimum requirement to lead a team in a giant guild that is evaluated to be comparable to that of a powerful country, is not something that can be obtained just with the ability you have.

In order for an awakened person who has reached the pinnacle of ability to wear the title of S-class, competent awakened people must prove their qualifications to trust and entrust their lives.

That’s why criminals (凡人) have to achieve feats that they can’t even dream of, so they become S-class, which is evaluated as the best awakened person.

Scar Ryte burned and killed the glacier dragon that came out of the S-class gate by himself, and Iaris saved a country by taking time to stand alone when an alien army invaded mankind.

That’s how they got S-class qualifications and became S-class Awakeners.

Of course, the case of the two people mentioned above is special enough to be called heroic among S-class awakeners, and in my case, I chose to destroy an unexplored S-class dungeon, a method commonly used by S-class awakeners.

Defeating the dungeon boss guarding the dungeon core by destroying the dungeon itself rather than attacking it is a much more difficult task than the end of the raid.

It can be destroyed only by breaking the dungeon core, which is the source of power that makes up the dungeon, and the dungeon feeling threatened the moment you attack to destroy the dungeon core sends out the dungeon master to eliminate all intruders.

It is an S-class dungeon, a being with indescribable energy, who uses all the power to create a warrior to eliminate intruders.

If you defeat even such a dungeon master, the dungeon core that has lost its power will disappear and the dungeon will collapse and contribute to world peace. It was

Of course, it was a method that lacked impact compared to the two people I mentioned before, but I didn’t care at all because at that time I was an extremely efficient man with extreme abilities.

At that time, I only had the thought of raising the name of the Julie family by gaining S-class qualifications as soon as possible.

About a year ago, I was evaluated as S-class for my power itself, but I wanted to become a real S-class as soon as possible.

Because of that impatience, in the end, it was decided to destroy the unconfirmed S-class dungeon, tentatively named the ‘Fire Kingdom’ dungeon at the time, where mana measurement had not even been properly completed. I was just happy to be in the S rank.

From now on, the story I will recall is a very precious memory that I will never forget in my life.

This is a story about falling in love with a man.

One.

Our Liar’s Trap Team 2 was gathered at the entrance of the dungeon to destroy the S-class dungeon ‘Fire Kingdom’, which I almost forcibly approved by using the power of my family.
Their equipment checks were over, and their mana conditions were raised to the perfect level.
Nevertheless, the 2nd team leader did not give an order to enter, and I, impatient, raised a legitimate point to the 2nd team leader, Exit Line, who was just staring blankly at the sky.

“Isn’t everyone gathered now, chief? Give the order to enter the dungeon immediately.”

The raid team members gathered here were the most elite Awakeners of the Liars Trap, who were called the elite among the elite.
As a team leader, consuming the time of top Awakeners, which is more precious than gold, without telling them why, was no different from dereliction of duty.
However, no one except me spoke up about this issue, and in the end, I, the youngest person here, had no choice but to put up my arms and open my mouth.

It’s not that I’m obsessed with the expectation that if I just destroy this dungeon, I can become an S-class.

However, despite my legitimate point, the 2nd team leader, EXIT LINE, only jokingly replied with his snort.

“Hey. I was very impatient because I had an S rank in front of me. A little girl from the Julie family. Still “
“I beg your pardon?”
“You’re still new to S-class dungeons, so you can say that. Wait a little longer This kid.”
“Hey, kid?”

Certainly, I am the youngest member who has been in the Liars Trap for less than three months, but if you knew my dignity and the skills I have, you shouldn’t have said that to me.

However, the opponent was a seasoned S-class Awakener, and it was not good to cause unnecessary trouble with such a person now that the S-class dungeon is about to be destroyed.

That’s why I couldn’t understand it with my common sense, but I had no choice but to follow her words.

I don’t know why you have to wait, but just give it a reason that’s not a big deal. I’ll put a petition in the guild right away.

At that time, as he put his cold anger deep into his heart, he was thinking about how to pay for today’s humiliation to the 2nd team leader, Exy Trine.

Dismissal.

The barely audible sound of small tree branches being stepped on and breaking came from behind.
At the same time, I felt a presence that I hadn’t noticed until now, and when I reflexively turned around, I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes.

“…Mr Pastor?”

For some reason, a person who shouldn’t be here was standing behind me with tanned hair.
Pastor’s appearance was so out of the blue that I was taken aback, as I was not taken aback by the cold-heartedness unique to the Julie family.
It was full of questions about why the F-Class Awakener came here, no, before that, how the F-Class Awakener could stand behind me without even recognizing it.
The operation to destroy the S-class dungeon ‘The Kingdom of Fire’ was for me, so I used my right to ask questions to uninvited guests as the main character of this operation.

“Why are you here…”
“Five! Paster! So, how are you doing?”

However, my legitimate question was interrupted by the sudden voice of Exit Line, the cheeky team leader of the 2nd team.
This was a perfect atrocity that could be judged as an abuse of power.
No matter how much the team leader, Exit Line, is in charge of this operation and has the greatest power in this position, the star of this operation is me. This seat was for me.
So, now was the time to vent the accumulated grievances.

“Wait. A person spoke first, but to stop talking like that…”
“I thought I was dying.”
“Is not it? Did you do well to wear a heat-resistant suit? Because I ordered it directly from Dr. Do you owe me?”
“Now, wait a minute. I will tell you now…”
“What kind of nonsense is that, Chief? The person who brought me to such a dangerous dungeon in the first place is the team leader, so it’s only natural that he takes responsibility for this.”
“Well, that’s right. Was it worth doing anyway?”
“Hey, there…!”
“Yeah what. I don’t think it’s difficult to attack if you match the sum well. But when the dungeon lord appears… I don’t know.”
“Because there is no one in the world who can predict the dungeon master. Well, that’s what Pastor says!”
“Excuse me! I tell you!”
“What, what did you say? The Julie family kid?”
“What, what?”
“If it’s not important, say it later. Now you’re going to enter the dungeon you’ve been waiting for.”

After that, Exit Line took off his butt, which had not fallen as if it had become one with the rock, and stood in front of the capture team members. It looked like he was about to start a demoralizing speech before entering.
Normally, I should have listened to the speech next to the capture team members, but I was so shocked that I couldn’t make that decision.

For the first time in my life, I was treated as an invisible person. The flower of the Julie family, none other than I, Lapis Julie.

It wasn’t enough that he stopped talking. He was treated like someone who had no power. It was safe to say that this was not just my problem, but an act of disrespect for the entire Julie family.

Wait and see Excitrine… If I become S rank, I won’t just skip this job.

Vengeance boiled over in the flames of anger that had been burning coldly.
At that time, when he was sharpening the blade of revenge with a feeling of self-confidence, Exit Line was giving a short and lousy speech, ‘As always, if it ends well, I’ll shoot you dinner!’

It wasn’t until today that I could be so confident. A woman like a wild horse who has no manners towards people.

“Hey, can you not go?”

How can I put in a petition to get revenge properly? As I was rolling her head, another rude person who interrupted me spoke up.
Being polite to someone who wasn’t polite was like spreading rumors that she was an idiot.

Even if you look handsome, if you don’t have manners, it’s just pretty garbage. No one respects trash.

That’s why I answered bluntly to the pretty trash Paster who spoke to me.

“Why do I have to go there?”
“Yeah, because everyone is participating?”
“Are you going to die when other people die? Don’t force others’ standards on me.”
“Uh… Um. Yeah, I’m sorry.”

I glared at him coldly and treated him harshly, and Pastor nodded his head slightly, apologized to me, and moved to where everyone was gathered.

On his face as he passed by, he said, “There are a lot of refutations, but there’s nothing to gain from refutation, and it’s sure to be annoying. It’s just tiring to be involved with someone like that,’ but it must be an illusion.
There’s no way an F-class Awakener, the lowest among Awakeners, could have such thoughts towards me, who will become S-Class once this operation is over, right?

It was embarrassing, but openly expressing anger at someone worse off than me is something only small people do.
With the same mind as Hahae, I let go of his ambiguous attitude and, after a poor speech, approached Exit Line, who was finally about to enter the dungeon.

“You are going in now. Is it late.”

In response to my direct and elegant point, Exit Line did not blink an eye and replied as if it were natural.

“Because the person I was waiting for just arrived. It’s okay to go in now.”
“Are you the one I’ve been waiting for?”
“Yeah, I just talked to you.”
“·····Yes? Mr. Pastor? An F-class awakened person participating in a raid for the purpose of destroying an S-class dungeon?”

What came out of my mouth this time was a very natural question, different from the previous words that could have felt a bit forced.
The D-class was the limit for dungeons that F-class awakeners could enter. You can barely enter it only if you participate as a porter outside of the full force, not as a member of the attack team.
But now, you’re going to send an F-level Awakener into an S-level dungeon. Even if the head of Team 2 went mad, he must have been mad.

I thought it was weird from before. I must have been a really strange person.

As the lead in this position, I had to stop the madness of the team leader.
It is natural for F-class awakeners to die when they enter an S-class dungeon, and if a human life is lost due to an arbitrary decision, everyone involved cannot avoid responsibility.

Even if you’re F-class, you’re still human, and human life is precious. I can’t let you die like this.

If I confronted the team leader here, it was clear that the capture team would be disbanded before I even entered the dungeon, and my S-class promotion would be far away.
But I had to say that it wasn’t.
Because that was my duty and responsibility as a member of the great Julie family.

When I return to the guild, I will formally ask for an apology. I’ll even file a claim for damages! Let’s see…!

That’s when I sincerely promise that, and I’m about to open my mouth.

“Come on, let’s go!”

Aaaaa!!!!

Before I had time to say anything, the entire raid team rushed into the dungeon entrance, leaving me alone as the main character.

“… Uh huh?”

With F-class Awakener, Paster.
