Competition

Chapter 14: Competition

The next morning I took a bath repeatedly in fear of Krea's sharp sense of smell and entered into the Uratan world and summon Krea, Ryia, Aleida, fendrel, and merec.

"I already arrived in the dragonov kingdom and have made my plans. Fendrel, you will join the swordsman guild and the blacksmith guilds since you are the strongest here excluding me.

Aleida, you will join the archer's guild and the merchant's guild since I plan to make you my future manager or something.

Krea, I want you to become a student and enroll in the magic academy and after graduating, I want you to join the magic guild.

Merec, you will join the martial arts guild and the alchemist guild since you're a herbalist being an alchemist will be much easier for you.

As for Ryia, you will follow krea and enroll in the magic academy, is it alright with ryia?" I ask her gently while patting her head.

"Unn." she happily nodded while wagging her tail

"Aleida, merec, fendrel; each of you must gather 10 companions to accompany you. Of course, you will pretend not to know each other and all of you must dye your hair.

Aleida and krea, I will disguise you and degrade your beauty since it will become a problem if horny young masters suddenly approach you guys."

The moment I said that both of them suddenly blush that made me regret that I said that.

"As for you fendrel, if a royal girl took a liking at you, and if she's pretty, I permit you to make her head over heal for you and try your best to lead it to a marriage. Is it ok, Aleida?"

"Yes, master." she said with a smile

'Her smile made me dumbfounded because I can feel that she really meant it from the bottom of her heart.'

The next morning came and I was still lying in my bed at the mansion." Sigh, why are the kingdoms of this continent narrow-minded that they banned having multiple profession? What to choose?

What if I choose mercenary? No, it's just a waste of time, how about learning about spear?..... no, I have powerful claws already so I don't need it.

For magic guild? Nah… I don't have a chance. So that's left me martial arts, swordsmanship, and archery huh.

"I can't decide!" I stood up and wash my face.

I entered a restaurant who's the most famous restaurant in the capital.

"How many will be eating my lord?" asked a man

"Only myself"

After hearing my answer, the man then led me to a table and handed me a menu.

I selected their recommended dish and slowly taste it.

While eating I notice that several girls are constantly looking at me with a slightly red face while some guys are also looking at me with a completely red face.

'Hmm… is something on my face? I there shouldn't be anything. Then is it the way I ate?.... I don't think so, then why?

While I was pondering, I heard a voice of a little girl.

"Big brother, are you going to the 3rd princess's birthday party?"

"No, why would I go there? Especially I'm not invited"

"But you're good in archery"

"What thus archery have to do with the 3rd princess birthday party?"

"Eh, you didn't know big brother?"

"About what?"

"Sigh! Big brother you should pay attention to the news. Yesterday, the castle made an announcement. It said that the 3rd princess announced that on her birthday party, there would be an archery tournament and the winner will be granted a title of a common earl and a piece of land. Not only that, the princess announced that the winner will have an opportunity to challenge her. If the challenger loses, the title he won in the tournament will be taken back."

"And if he wins?"

"The winner will be given a chance to marry the third princess and will be granted a title of royal marquess and land befitting his title.

"WOW! What are the requirements?"

"1st: He must be handsome, just like that big brother over there!" she said and secretly pointed at me with a slightly red face.

2nd: must be an expert rank or master rank archer

3rd: must be a pure male, not transgender

4th: must be 18 to 22 years old since the princess is just 18 years old.

5th: must be at least a common knight

6th: he must at least have 50,000 gold

7th: he must be able to kill a person.

8th: he needs to be unmarried and he must not have experienced marriage before and don't have any fiancée.

9th: no criminal record including his family members

10th: no weird hobbies

"Then why are you asking if I would go to the party? Although I'm already an expert archer, I'm already 23 so the 4th rule naturally eliminated me."

"Ah! I forgot about your age!"

"This girl! Come on, let's go home." They paid their bill and left.

I entered a daydreaming state and forgot my food and surroundings and thought

'Is this a coincidence or is god watching or playing with me or is it the super luck that I possessed? I Just thought this morning which job to choose and how can I access the teleportation gate and suddenly I overheard an opportunity that will completely solve my problem.

Not only that. Isn't the requirements tailored made for me? Aside from 2nd requirement of being an expert or master archer that I can easily solve and the tenth requirement of no hobbies that I can just pretend having no hobbies, I passed all of the requirements

Well, whatever, at least .my problems can be solved in a short time.

Now then, let's raise our rank. Since all archers in Uratan world are all low-level archers, they won't have any skills at all, and even if they have, it would be low-level skills. Then the only choice I have is….

I hired a little girl to lead me to the biggest and the best slave shop in the city.

"Welcome, is it buying a slave or renting?" a fat man greeted me and ask me.

"Buying"

"Then, may I ask what your requirements are?"

"I want a master and expert archers, no age and gender requirement, must be human or elves."

The man looks at me happily and leads me in a room where a plate hanging above the door "archers"

"Currently, because of a war between a nearby human kingdom and elven kingdom who both end up destroyed we captured a lot. Oh, don't worry about their family because they are either dead or they also turned into a slave."

"Before that can I ask why both kingdoms got destroyed?"

"Sigh! It was because a third party showed up. The war between the two kingdoms have been instigated by another human kingdom, and they killed the army of the two kingdoms while they are exhausted.

"How many expert and master ranks do you have?

"17 master archers and 32 expert archers."

"How much each?"

For a master archer, around 250 to 300 gold and for the expert archers, around 175 – 210 gold coins

"If that's the case, I will buy them all!"
