**[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*
