Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 158 I Will Definitely Get the B-Rank Title

Wesley walked in front, and Alicia followed with a blank expression. Russell and the others hurried to catch up after realizing what was going on.

Since returning to the capital of Sforia, accidents have occurred one after another, which is beyond their expectations. However, as the leader of the team, Russell feels that he cannot remain confused. He must clearly understand the ins and outs of the matter.

After all, he is also a B-level candidate.

(Yes, first we need to find out exactly what happened from the Guild Master!)

Russell thought as he followed Wesley into the office.

-----------------

Russell and the other two, like Alicia, also completed their escort mission. Due to the importance of this mission, Russell, as the team leader, was awarded a medal.

Not only in escort missions, but also when completing important missions, it is common for the guild master to award medals or corresponding special evaluations. For a powerful person like Russell, the possibility of receiving such an honor is higher.

The sense of relief that came from completing the mission and the evaluation their leader received made the three companions seem very satisfied.

Oliver smiled very proudly, and Jill's eyes sparkled as he looked carefully at the badge on Russell's chest. Alicia also looked at the badge curiously, looking very happy.

However, Russell himself seemed to not care about any of this, with a serious expression: "Um, Guild Master. I have something to ask..."

"I know. It's about the commotion a few days ago, right? I'll try to tell you guys, and calm down a bit first."

As Russell tried to stand up, Wesley raised his hand to stop him. Russell sat back down awkwardly, and Wesley began to recount the events of a few days ago.

Not only did a large number of monsters pour into the capital, but what surprised Russell and the others was that the princess was one of the masterminds behind the incident. There was also the fact that Felini and Austin were almost in danger, but were saved by Xu Zhen and the monsters.

Listening to this, Alicia felt more and more embarrassed, while Russell and the others recalled the events in the Kingdom of Santono.

(I didn’t expect Xu Zhen to do something here… Who is he?)

He had no special training and looked like an ordinary traveler. How could a teenager achieve such success in succession? Such a question emerged in Russell's mind.

If this was done intentionally to achieve results, he might understand. But Xu Zhen's situation was different. He simply happened to be there and was not interested in the results achieved.

In fact, although Felini expressed her desire to thank him, Xu Zhen had no intention of accepting it. His reason was simply that he didn't need it and wasn't interested. Alicia told this story with a wry smile, and Russell and the others couldn't help but feel that they could understand.

"It was really just a coincidence... Is this good luck or bad luck..."

"It's good, right? After all, we have achieved results."

Oliver smiled bitterly, and Jill continued the conversation. At this time, Russell seemed to remember something and asked Alicia: "By the way, how is Xu Zhen? I want to thank him for taking care of Alicia..."

"He just went to the Elf Village yesterday. Looks like he missed it."

"Really? Then there's nothing we can do. Let's talk about it another day."

Russell gathered his thoughts, and Wesley cleared his throat: "As for what happened a few days ago, I'm almost done. If there are no other questions, let's end here, okay?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. That's enough, thank you very much." Russell hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, and Wesley nodded with a warm smile.

"Yes. Anyway, this escort mission was really hard. The capital is also in this state, so it's good to rest for a while. Russell, you should pay special attention. As a B-level candidate, you will have a certification exam soon."

Wesley's words, especially the last one, made Russell's body tremble. For those who are about to be promoted to B level, the certification exam is an inevitable and real challenge.

Having successfully completed the important escort mission, Russell was finally able to challenge and move towards a battle at rank B. A tense atmosphere flowed from Russell, and this atmosphere was also conveyed to his three companions.

Russell tightened his facial expression and looked up at Wesley's face.

"…I'm ready. I will definitely get the B-rank title and let you see it."

Russell's calm words somehow echoed in the room. His serious eyes and tone made Wesley put away his smile and nodded slowly.

--------------

As they left the guild and began walking, Jill vented her frustration to Russell: "Really, Russell, you are so serious. I am almost suffocating."

What Jill was talking about was the moment in Wesley's room when Russell expressed his determination about Class B.

They had just reunited with Alicia and should have been happy to be acting as a foursome again, but the sudden seriousness made her feel the need to complain.

However, it was Oliver who responded to Jill’s complaint: “Don’t say that. The certification exam requires that kind of preparation and determination. Right, Russell?”

"Ah, I do understand how Jill feels, but please forgive me this time."

“…Okay. I’m just saying.”

Although Jill knew what he said was right, she couldn't argue with him. Although she tried to understand, the irritation inside her didn't go away, and she felt frustrated. She couldn't express her feelings, and she realized that it was just a temporary tantrum.

Although she knew the certification exam was important, she still hoped to have more time for the four of them to act together. Jill couldn't sort out the emotions that were surging in her heart.

At this moment, Alicia spoke up: "But to be honest, I also think you are trying too hard. It is important to be serious, but maybe you can try to relax a little?"

Alicia's words made the three of them stop in their tracks. It was rare for her to express her opinion so clearly and firmly. Surprised, Russell tried to explain: "But Alicia, I am..."

“And more!” Alicia stood in front of Russell, pointed at him and emphasized: “Didn’t the Guild Master say that? It’s good to take a break. No matter how hard you work, there’s no guarantee of success, right?”

"That, that is..." Russell was speechless. Jill and Oliver stared with their eyes wide open, in amazement.

"I agree with what Alicia said... You have become much more talkative."

"Yeah. Kind of like 'sister scolding brother'."
