[00:01] (Flashback) Lorraine
    So what do we do?
[00:03] (Flashback) Lorraine
    You need to pass an exam to raise your rank.
[00:06] (Flashback) Lorraine
    And before that, you need to prove yourself.
[00:09] (Flashback) Lorraine
    And so you'll need to take jobs yourself.
[00:14] (Flashback) Lorraine
    But if they know Rentt Faina is
    back in town, the guild will...
[00:20] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Rentt, why not register as an
    adventurer under another name?
[00:25] (Flashback) Rentt
    I can't do that! Using two different
    names is against the guild rules!
[00:29] (Flashback) Lorraine
    They'll never know.
[00:31] (Flashback) Lorraine
    And even if they do find out,
    it won't be a big deal.
[00:35] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Everyone knows Rentt Faina, and they'd have
[00:37] (Flashback) Lorraine
    no end of questions about
    how you ended up that way.
[00:41] (Flashback) Lorraine
    But nobody will ask questions
    about a wandering adventurer,
[00:45] (Flashback) Lorraine
    no matter how strange they look.
[00:48] (Flashback) Rentt
    True.
[00:50] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Well, you'll lose what
    accomplishments Rentt Faina had,
[00:53] (Flashback) Lorraine
    and you'll have to start over from Iron.
[00:59] (Flashback) Rentt
    I don't mind.
[01:01] (Flashback) Rentt
    My goal is...
[01:03] (Flashback) Rentt
    to become a Mythril-class
    adventurer someday. That's all.
SIGN     Bronze-class
    Exam
[02:40] Sheila
    You already defeated three orcs?
[02:44] Rentt
    Yes.
[02:45] Rentt
    Confirm, please.
[02:47] Rentt
    For a solo adventurer like me,
    a magic bag is a necessity.
[02:53] Rentt
    It took me five years to save up the
    money for it, but it was worth it.
[02:57] Sheila
    They've been dressed properly
    and are well-preserved.
[03:01] Sheila
    I'm sure the client will be satisfied.
[03:05] Rentt
    So the job's complete, yes?
[03:07] Sheila
    Yes.
[03:09] Rentt
    What is it?
[03:11] Sheila
    Um, can you wait a moment?
[03:14] Rentt
    That's fine, but...
[03:18] Adventurers
    Hey, did you hear?
[03:20] Adventurers
    He took down three orcs.
[03:22] Adventurers
    Who is that guy?
[03:24] Adventurers
    I've never seen him around here.
[03:26] Rentt
    I guess as a rookie Iron-class,
    I stood out too much.
[03:30] Sheila
    Here you go.
[03:33] Rentt
    What's this?
[03:34] Sheila
    I just spoke to my manager.
[03:37] Sheila
    Rentt, why don't you try
    taking the promotion exam?
[03:41] Rentt
    Promotion exam?
[03:42] Sheila
    Yes, the promotion exam for Bronze-class.
[03:46] Sheila
    It's rare for somebody to get the
    opportunity so soon after registering,
[03:49] Sheila
    but you seem to have the potential.
[03:54] Rentt
    I'd love to.
[03:57] Lorraine
    So, you've already been asked to
    take the promotion exam for Bronze?
[04:00] Lorraine
    Well, it makes sense, with your ability.
[04:04] Rentt
    It's partially thanks to this body.
[04:07] Lorraine
    Yes, but that just means you're
    capable of using its strength.
[04:10] Lorraine
    So, what name did you register
    under at the guild?
[04:15] Rentt
    Rentt Vivie.
[04:21] Rentt
    You okay?
[04:24] Lorraine
    No, not really.
[04:27] Lorraine
    Why Vivie?
[04:29] Lorraine
    If you use my family name when
    everyone knows I was close to you,
[04:33] Lorraine
    people will be suspicious!
[04:34] Rentt
    It wouldn't be fair to you to have
    people thinking you had a weird man
[04:38] Rentt
    coming and going from your home.
[04:41] Rentt
    So I decided I'd be your relative.
[04:45] Lorraine
    Well, I guess I can understand that...
[04:49] Lorraine
    But you don't need to worry
    about my reputation.
[04:55] Lorraine
    I'm just a broke academic who came here
    'cause she couldn't make it in the capital.
[04:59] Lorraine
    I don't care what people think about me.
[05:03] Rentt
    You've done a lot for me.
[05:06] Rentt
    I don't want to cause trouble for you.
[05:09] Lorraine
    You've done a lot for me, too.
[05:10] Lorraine
    The cooking, washing, cleaning...
    you do almost all of it.
[05:15] Lorraine
    I owe you more than you owe me.
[05:19] Rentt
    That's not true.
[05:22] Rentt
    I'm still human because of you.
[05:27] Lorraine
    Rentt...
[05:30] Lorraine
    Then you can just stay
    here as long as you like.
[05:33] Lorraine
    You're my relative, aren't you?
[05:37] Lorraine
    Nothing wrong with imposing on family.
[05:40] Rentt
    Yeah?
[05:41] Rentt
    I'll take you up on that, then.
[05:53] Man
    Um, who are you?
[05:55] Rentt
    I'm Rentt Vivie. I'm here for the exam.
[05:59] Man
    Oh, you're him?
[06:01] Sheila
    Huh? Rentt? I didn't think
    you'd be coming today...
[06:05] Rentt
    I got approved to take the exam.
[06:08] Sheila
    Yes, but I assumed you'd wait for the
    next one so you had time to study.
[06:12] Rentt
    The next one is several months from now.
[06:15] Sheila
    But...
[06:17] Adventurer
    Whew, I made it!
[06:21] Rentt
    He'll lose points for that.
[06:23] Rentt
    An adventurer who can't show
    up on time isn't trustworthy.
[06:27] Man
    Okay, Iron-class adventurers!
[06:30] Man
    We're about to begin the Bronze-class exam!
[06:33] Man
    First, the knowledge test!
[06:35] Man
    We'll test you on guild rules and the
    proper handling of monster drops.
[06:39] Man
    You'll have to prove you're
    ready to be Bronze-class.
[06:44] Man
    Only those who pass this exam will be
    allowed to take the practical portion.
[06:48] Rentt
    The practical changes each time.
[06:51] Rentt
    When I did it, it was gathering herbs.
[06:54] Man
    All right, anyone who's taking the
    written exam, come with me.
[07:02] Sheila
    Good luck!
[07:04] Rentt
    Thanks.
[07:14] Rentt
    There are more people here than I thought.
[07:20] Rentt
    Isn't that girl...
[07:25] (Flashback) Ryze
    Laura!
[07:25] (Flashback) Laura
    Right!
[07:31] Rentt
    I suppose her partner's taking the oral exam.
[07:35] Rentt
    It's rare for normal people
    to be able to read and write.
[07:39] Rentt
    I learned a lot of things in my village
    growing up, like reading, writing,
[07:43] Rentt
    and knowledge of herbs.
[07:45] Rentt
    Because I thought I'd need
    those to become an adventurer.
[07:50] Rentt
    So this exam will be easy for me.
[07:53] Rentt
    It's my second time taking it, too.
[07:59] Adventurers
    Sheesh, why was it so hard?
[08:00] Adventurers
    Don't let it get you down.
[08:02] Sheila
    You're amazing, Rentt.
[08:04] Sheila
    I heard you got a perfect score.
[08:06] Sheila
    That's extremely rare.
[08:07] Rentt
    I'm just glad I passed.
[08:10] Rentt
    What will I be doing in the practical?
[08:12] Sheila
    You'll form a party with a few of the
    others and carry out a job for the guild.
[08:17] Rentt
    A job for the guild, huh?
[08:21] Sheila
    Ryze! Laura!
[08:26] Sheila
    You three will be forming a party today.
[08:36] Ryze
    I'm Ryze Danner, a swordsman.
[08:38] Ryze
    I use spirit energy to raise
    my strength when I fight.
[08:41] Ryze
    Let me fight in front.
[08:43] Laura
    I'm Laura Sati.
[08:44] Laura
    I'm a mage, and I can use healing magic.
[08:47] Laura
    I'll do my best at the rear.
[08:49] Laura
    Nice to meet you.
[08:51] Rentt
    I'm Rentt Vivie.
[08:53] Rentt
    Nice to meet you.
[08:54] Rentt
    I fight with a sword, too. I can
    use magic and spirit power.
[08:58] Man
    Okay, listen up, everyone!
[09:01] Man
    The practical exam involves completing
    a job prepared by the guild.
[09:06] Man
    It will take place at the
    Labyrinth of the New Moon.
[09:08] Man
    I will now hand out maps.
[09:10] Man
    Your job is to reach the
    point written on your map.
[09:15] Adventurer
    What, so we just have to get here?
[09:18] Man
    You have until sunset!
[09:20] Man
    Dismissed!
[09:22] Adventurer
    Um, are there any restrictions?
[09:25] Man
    None in particular.
[09:26] Man
    You can do anything you like.
[09:28] Adventurer
    Are we all headed for the same spot?
[09:31] Man
    Yes. You're all going to a single location.
[09:34] Man
    The first party to arrive will receive
    a reward befitting their efforts.
[09:41] Adventurer
    So it's a race, huh?
[09:45] Laura
    It's a race...
[09:47] Ryze
    Yeah.
[10:02] Ryze
    Rentt, you ever been to the
    Labyrinth of the New Moon?
[10:06] Rentt
    Yeah.
[10:07] Ryze
    I see. Me too.
[10:09] Laura
    Just partway through
    the first floor, though.
[10:13] Ryze
    That still counts.
[10:14] Ryze
    I'll be Bronze-class soon, and
    then I'll go further down.
[10:17] Ryze
    Let's hurry.
[10:19] Laura
    Yeah.
[10:20] Rentt
    Wait.
[10:22] Ryze
    What do you want, Rentt?
[10:23] Rentt
    We should buy a map.
[10:26] Laura
    We can't use the map we were given?
[10:30] Rentt
    This map is 15 years old.
[10:34] Laura
    This old map won't be very reliable.
[10:38] Ryze
    Damn it! They tried to trick us!
[10:41] Ryze
    Hey! Rentt?
[10:46] Merchant
    Can I help you?
[10:50] Rentt
    I'd like to buy a map.
[10:52] Merchant
    A map. Of course. That'll be two silvers.
[10:56] Ryze
    That's expensive!
[10:57] Laura
    We can't afford that.
[10:58] Rentt
    We just need one for the first floor.
[11:01] Rentt
    That shouldn't cost more
    than five bronze pieces.
[11:05] Merchant
    You've got a deal.
[11:07] Merchant
    No fooling you, huh, sir?
[11:11] Rentt
    Sorry.
[11:12] Ryze
    Is that map really right?
[11:15] Rentt
    Compare it to the one you got.
[11:18] Laura
    Um...
[11:21] Ryze
    This part had a cave-in?
[11:23] Laura
    The path changed at this part, too!
[11:25] Laura
    And look! This map has the
    location of all the traps, too!
[11:30] Ryze
    We won't get lost now!
[11:32] Laura
    Yeah!
[11:33] Merchant
    If you want to pass,
    kiddos, do what he says.
[11:41] Ryze
    Not bad, Rentt.
[11:43] Laura
    But why would the guild give us bad maps?
[11:47] Rentt
    Those carriages could've just as
    easily taken us to the wrong place.
[11:57] Rentt
    An adventurer can never
    let their guard down.
[12:00] Rentt
    The point of this exam is to see if you've
    got what it takes to be an adventurer.
[12:04] Laura
    I see.
[12:05] Ryze
    Seriously? What a pain.
[12:08] Rentt
    Remember this.
[12:09] Ryze
    Remember what?
[12:11] Rentt
    The guild can be surprisingly mean.
[12:36] Rentt
    Don't let your guard down because
    they're just skeletons.
[12:38] Ryze
    I know that!
[12:42] Ryze
    Thanks, Laura!
[12:43] Laura
    Sure!
[12:56] Rentt
    They're pretty good for their age.
[13:00] Rentt
    They're working together as a team,
[13:02] Rentt
    and they've each got well-defined roles so
    that neither's doing too much for the other.
[13:10] Rentt
    Are you both okay?
[13:14] Ryze
    Don't worry about me...
    is what I'd like to say.
[13:18] Laura
    Were there always this many
    monsters around here?
[13:25] Laura
    Rentt?
[13:27] Rentt
    The monsters are being lured here.
[13:29] Ryze
    Is that possible?
[13:31] Rentt
    Yeah. You use things like this.
[13:35] Laura
    Incense?
[13:40] Ryze
    What's this doing here?
[13:42] Rentt
    You'll know soon.
[13:45] Rentt
    Also, there's an ambush up ahead.
[13:49] Laura
    But none of the monsters here should
    have that level of intelligence.
[13:53] Rentt
    Not monsters.
[13:56] Laura
    Don't tell me...
[13:57] Rentt
    That's right. The ones laying
    the ambush are human.
[14:01] Laura
    But...
[14:03] Ryze
    We have to fight humans?
[14:06] Rentt
    Get ready.
[14:09] Rentt
    I'll take the lead.
[14:25] Rentt
    Watch out! There are two more!
[14:28] Ryze
    I told you, I'll take the front!
[14:31] Rentt
    That's right!
[14:32] Rentt
    I'll let you handle him, then.
[14:34] Ryze
    Right.
[14:38] Ryze
    Wow...
[15:01] Laura
    Ryze!
[15:06] Ryze
    Thanks, Laura!
[15:08] Ambusher
    Damn it! I can't see!
[15:09] Ryze
    This is payback!
[15:13] Rentt
    Looks like they don't need my help.
[15:20] Laura
    Ryze!
[15:22] Ryze
    Yeah!
[15:30] Ryze
    W-We got 'em.
[15:32] Laura
    It worked!
[15:40] Laura
    They're taking the exam too, aren't they?
[15:44] Laura
    Why would they do this?
[15:45] Ryze
    They wanted to make us fail the exam.
[15:48] Ryze
    The examiner did say you could do anything.
[15:51] Ryze
    Right, Rentt?
[15:53] Rentt
    Anything can happen in the Labyrinth.
[15:56] Rentt
    The monsters aren't the only threat.
[15:59] Rentt
    Now you understand, right?
[16:01] Rentt
    An adventurer can never
    let their guard down.
[16:06] Ryze
    Rentt.
[16:09] Ryze
    From now on, we'll obey your orders.
[16:13] Laura
    Ryze.
[16:16] Ryze
    Let's keep an eye out as we move on.
[16:19] Rentt
    Right.
[16:24] Rentt
    Come pick them up quickly.
[16:37] Cloaked Man
    He saw me?
[16:38] Ambusher
    Hey, untie me, please.
[16:42] Cloaked Man
    Oh, sorry.
[16:45] Cloaked Man
    The man in the mask seemed to
    know you were sent by the guild.
[16:50] Ambusher
    Seriously?
[16:51] Ambusher
    Who is he?
[16:52] Cloaked Man
    I don't know.
[16:54] Cloaked Man
    Though I can think of one
    person it might be...
[16:59] Cloaked Man
    Maybe my sister was right.
[17:07] Sheila
    Is there something I can
    do for you, Guildmaster?
[17:10] Guildmaster
    Relax. Being all formal in front
    of me won't earn you a raise.
[17:15] Sheila
    Yes, I know that.
[17:19] Guildmaster
    I heard a strange rumor about the incident.
[17:23] Guildmaster
    Rentt Vivie.
[17:26] Guildmaster
    The new adventurer you're in charge of.
[17:29] Sheila
    Has he done something wrong?
[17:31] Guildmaster
    Some people are saying he's the criminal.
[17:35] Guildmaster
    He showed up out of nowhere
    in Maalt. He's quite skilled.
[17:39] Guildmaster
    And we don't know anything about his past.
[17:42] Guildmaster
    If you want to say that's
    suspicious, I agree with you.
[17:46] Guildmaster
    But every adventurer has
    something in their past.
[17:49] Guildmaster
    That doesn't mean we can just
    ignore the accusation, however.
[17:53] Guildmaster
    If you learn anything,
    tell me immediately. Got it?
[17:58] Sheila
    Yes, sir.
[18:07] Rentt
    Our destination's just up ahead.
[18:10] Laura
    This door... it's what I think it is, right?
[18:14] Rentt
    Yes.
[18:15] Rentt
    It's one of several boss
    rooms on this floor.
[18:19] Rentt
    There's no way to get to our destination
    except by going through it.
[18:25] Rentt
    You ever fought a boss?
[18:27] Ryze
    Not yet.
[18:28] Ryze
    It's not something two
    Iron-classes can handle.
[18:31] Rentt
    Scared?
[18:32] Ryze
    Of course not!
[18:36] Rentt
    There's no shame for an adventurer
    in avoiding a fight you can't win.
[18:44] Adventurer
    What, we're not the first?
[18:48] Adventurer
    They think they can beat
    us to the goal, huh?
[18:51] Rentt
    Other examinees?
[18:53] Rentt
    Good timing.
[18:55] Laura
    Good timing?
[18:57] Adventurer
    A party with two kids and
    a weirdo in a mask. Great.
[19:03] Rentt
    We're both taking the same exam.
[19:05] Rentt
    I don't appreciate being talked to that way.
[19:07] Adventurer
    What, you're lecturing us?
[19:09] Adventurer
    Who do you think you are?
[19:11] Adventurer
    Hey, that girl's actually pretty cute.
[19:15] Adventurer
    Hey, want to come with us instead?
[19:18] Ryze
    Don't you dare speak to Laura.
[19:20] Adventurer
    Who are you, kid?
[19:22] Ryze
    We got here first.
[19:24] Ryze
    Don't get in our way.
[19:25] Adventurer
    What?
[19:27] Adventurer
    H-Hey, it was a joke!
[19:30] Rentt
    I'm sorry. I don't have
    much of a sense of humor.
[19:35] Adventurer
    Look, I'm sorry!
[19:37] Adventurer
    We're not going to try to stop
    you from going in first.
[19:39] Adventurer
    Right?
[19:39] All
    Y-Yeah!
[19:41] Rentt
    You can go in first.
[19:44] Rentt
    We're going to rest a little, first.
[19:47] Adventurer
    Okay, we'll take you up on that.
[19:50] Adventurer
    R-Right.
[19:51] Adventurer
    Thanks!
[19:58] Adventurer
    We're lucky they were so dumb!
[20:03] Ryze
    What are you doing, Rentt?
[20:05] Ryze
    If they beat us there, we lose!
[20:07] Rentt
    Why?
[20:08] Ryze
    Why? It's a race, isn't it?
[20:12] Laura
    I'm sure Rentt has a reason, don't you?
[20:15] Rentt
    So you figured it out, Laura?
[20:20] Ryze
    You wanted to show us what a
    boss fight looks like, first?
[20:23] Rentt
    That's part of it. But not all.
[20:27] Adventurer
    My leg! My leg!
[20:39] Laura
    Those were guild employees, weren't they?
[20:43] Rentt
    Yes. Even if you lose, you won't die.
[20:47] Rentt
    Feel better?
[20:50] Ryze
    Well...
[20:52] Rentt
    Like I said.
[20:54] Rentt
    There's no shame for an adventurer
    in avoiding a fight you can't win.
[21:00] Ryze
    Maybe you're right.
[21:02] Ryze
    But no, that's not what I meant!
[21:06] Ryze
    If I run away here, I don't
    think I'll ever come back.
[21:11] Ryze
    I'll never be a real adventurer.
[21:16] Laura
    Ryze...
[21:18] Rentt
    So... will you come with me, Laura?
[21:23] Laura
    Yeah.
[21:25] Rentt
    You've made your decision, then.
[21:28] Rentt
    An adventurer who's been
    broken once becomes weak.
[21:32] Rentt
    Once that happens, it's not rare at all for
    adventurers to just quit the job entirely.
[21:39] Rentt
    Ryze chose not to run because
    he sensed that instinctively.
[21:45] Rentt
    That's an important part of what
    it takes to be an adventurer.
