I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

77 – Urgent Quest

“…A promotion test?”

“Yes! The conditions required to take the Platinum Promotion Test are a certain amount of contribution to the mercenary guild and trust in the individual mercenary! The trust in Mistiltein has been met by completing more than 30 perfect quests recently. , Contribution to the guild, you just finished clearing the dungeon! It’s really amazing! It takes an average of 5 years for a gold-grade mercenary to meet this condition, so you can achieve that in 10 days…!”

Kitrin looked up at me with eyes filled with awe.

“Hmm…”

“…Huh? You don’t seem to be very happy…?”

However, my reaction to Kitrin’s congratulations was a bit hesitant.

“…How long does it take?”

“Yes?”

“How long does the promotion test usually take?”

“Uh…. For the promotion test, you have to complete a high-difficulty quest that takes quite a long time to complete with a higher-level mercenary, the examiner… Maybe, it will take at least a week…?”

To Kitrin, who tilted her head as if there was something wrong with her, I couldn’t explain the reason for my confused reaction.

The time I can work as a mercenary right now is from the late afternoon when the academy classes end, to the next morning when the academy classes start… It’s only about half a day.

Including the weekend, I could make up to three days, but…….

‘It’s impossible to spend a week or so….’

So I was going to tell Kitrin that I have no intention of taking the promotion test right now.

“…Kitrin. Is there any way to finish the promotion test faster?”

“…Yes?”

I asked Kitrin without realizing it, probably because of the weak regret left in my mouth.

Kitrin blinked at my question.

“……Mmm.”

Hmm, I crossed my arms and pondered deeply.

“……As expected, that would be difficult. The promotion test for Platinum level or higher is very difficult as it involves the trust of the guild……There is another method, but it’s not something you can say you want to do….”

As expected, he opened his mouth as if it were difficult.

But my attention was already focused on the words that Kitrin muttered behind him another way.

“Kitrin, what is another way?”

“…Ah. Did you hear?”

I nodded, and Kitrin opened her mouth in a way that it couldn’t be helped.

“……There is a rule in the mercenary guild rulebook that if you solve the ’emergency request’, you can replace the promotion test.”

“…Emergency request?”

“Yes, it is an urgent request. It is literally a request issued directly from the Mercenary Guild when a mercenary of gold grade or higher needs quick help… When an extremely urgent situation arises.”

“……I see.”

If it’s an urgent quest, it’s a perfect quest for me right now, who doesn’t have time to take the promotion test….

I didn’t express it directly on my face, but I started to have a taste for this urgent request.

“…It’s a very unrealistic story, so please don’t expect that.”

Kitrin read my mood and shook his head, telling me not to expect too much.

I raised one eyebrow slightly as if asking why, and Kitrin began to explain the reason.

“Emergency requests are somewhat compulsory for high-ranking mercenaries, so the mercenary guild rarely issues emergency requests. …At least, unless it’s a situation where a village is completely wiped out. “

“……Is that so?”

“Yes. The last emergency request issued by our Karabog branch was 5 years ago. It hasn’t been issued since then until now. So even if you want an emergency request, it will appear right away────”

───Boom!!!!!!

A sudden loud noise interrupted Kitrin.

The source of the sound is the front gate of the mercenary guild.

Everyone in the mercenary guild, including me and Kitrin, focused on the wooden door that was almost about to break open.

Soon, the person who opened the door——

“──Help me too…!!!”

───All eyes were focused on the mercenary, who was covered in blood and screaming for help.

******

“…Ka, black!”

As soon as the bloodied mercenary passed through the main gate as if he was almost rolling away, the other mercenaries from the guild, who had their eyes wide open as if time had stopped, began to mutter.

“Hey…. If I remember correctly, that guy must be… of that cuff mercenary….”

“…That’s right! That guy is Kraft, a professional seeker of the Cuff Mercenary Corps, who has recently started talking about rising to the platinum level…!”

“Why would a mercenary with one of the best skills in our city act like that…”

No matter what the bewildered mercenaries said, Kraft, a bloody mercenary, passed through the door and, as if the strength he had squeezed to the end was exhausted, he fell forward as if he was being thrown.

As Kraft fell, red blood flowed from wounds on his back so deep that the muscles in his skin were barely visible, and began to soak the wooden floor of the guild.

If Kraft hadn’t reached the level of a superhuman, he would have died without being able to withstand the moisture.

“Huh…! Heh…! Turn it off…!”

But regardless of such a serious wound, the mercenary desperately tried to crawl to the reception desk, stretching out his trembling arms as if he would crawl if his legs didn’t move.

Kitrin, who had been frozen like the rest of the guild, jumped up from her seat at the mercenary’s desperate movements.

“Hey, you!”

“Yes, four!!”

“You should go to the guild storage for important items right now, and bring an emergency recovery potion!”

“Oh, I see!!!”

“Next to that, go to the temple of the main church and bring a priest who can use holy magic of intermediate level or higher! Come on!!!”

“Yes, yes!!!”

As if his mercenary career, which once reached the platinum rank, was not a lie, Kit Rin changed his gentle eyes to a cold-hearted one and quickly began to give instructions.

When the other receptionists started to move in unison at her direction.

Jerbug-

Aiming at the mercenary who is unable to move as if he had exhausted his strength and struggles.

A wizard wearing a black robe that seemed to have been processed by cutting out the darkness of the darkest night as it was, approached.

Then, I put my hand that had a holy glow that seemed to warm me just by looking at the wound on the mercenary’s back, whose complexion was starting to turn pale due to excessive blood loss.

Ugh-

As the light from Mistiltein’s hand permeated the wound, the red blood that had flowed ceaselessly stopped flowing, and the wound, which was so severe that white bones could be seen at first glance, began to heal quickly enough to be seen with the naked eye.

“Poetry, divine magic…?! And more than an intermediate level…!? Surely Mistiltein-nim was an attribute-type magician who handled fire, water, wind, and earth attributes…!?”

After giving instructions to her colleague. Kitrin, who had brought a box of medical supplies to be in case of emergency, widened her eyes in amazement.

“…Does it matter now?”

“Sir…! …No, sorry.”

As I quietly asked back, Kitrin apologized, realizing that it was not something to ask under the current circumstances.

And then.

“Uhhhhh, this is…”

When the wounds were almost completely healed by the divine magic, the mercenary, who had fainted for a moment due to the shock caused by the excessive bleeding, struggled to open his eyes screaming in agony.

“…Mr. Kraft! Are you awake! This is Karabog’s mercenary guild! What the hell happened?”

Kitrin calmly conveyed the current situation, holding Kraft’s face, who was still confused because he couldn’t quite come to his senses, with both hands and adjusted his shaky vision to himself.

Kraft stuttered as if her efforts paid off.

“…The ‘simultaneous liberation phenomenon’ of several dungeons has occurred…Cool…! Sacree Village and our mercenary group are in danger…Cool…! Big…”

“The phenomenon of multiple dungeons being released…?! Mr. Kraft! How many dungeons have been released…!?”

“I don’t know exactly… C-grade or higher dungeons… At least 5… Ugh!”

“…Oh my God!? That means that at least ‘2,000’ monsters are attacking the village…!!!”

Kitrin’s face turned white at Kraft’s words, and he was terrified.

Even an F-class monster, Goblins, would be a huge threat if 2,000 were gathered.

If there are 2,000 C-grade monsters that have been ‘reinforced’ after the dungeon is released, including at least 5 boss monsters….

It is a force that is so threatening that it can drive even a fairly small city into a ‘half wave’ state.

And no matter how much gold grade mercenaries go into defense, there is no way that a small village with less than 20 households can stop it for a long time.

‘From Karabog to Sacree Village, it takes at least three hours even if you ride non-stop…. As expected…. Sacree Village has already… !!!’

Even though Kitrin couldn’t see it, she closed her eyes tightly at the gruesome sight that shimmered in front of her.

And then, with the strength of Kitrin’s arm that was inferior to that of a child——but Kraft, who held onto it with all his strength, opened his mouth.

“Ooh, save our mercenaries…! ──Save my family…! Please…!”

At the desperate request full of bitterness, Kit Rin closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them as if he had made up his mind and shouted loudly.

“From now on, I will issue an urgent request in the name of the Karabog Mercenary Guild’s acting branch manager! The content of the request is to exterminate the monsters that attacked Sacree Village and save the people trapped in the village!

Mercenaries of at least silver grade must be summoned! About an hour from now, we’re leaving for Sacre Village!”

As Kitrin’s cry resonated inside the building, the inside of the guild became quiet for a moment, and then a noise began to echo as if it were about to explode.

I looked around the confused guild for a while before approaching Kitrin, who was giving instructions to the other receptionists.

“You must first send a rescue request to the nearest city! You arrange a wagon to carry the mercenaries to Sacree Village! And you…”

“Kitrin.”

“…Misteltain? Are you having any problems?”

Kitrin didn’t even look at me, as if she didn’t even have time to blink. He was busy directing others, filling out the necessary documents for an urgent request.

I looked at Kitrin’s back and continued talking.

“Write my name on the emergency quest participation list. I’ll go to Sacree Village first.”

“What? What is that…!”

Kit Rin, who couldn’t understand Mistil Thein’s words for a moment, looked back at her and asked….

“Huh…?”

The figure of Misteltein was no longer visible there.
