Raid quest! And I witnessed a scandalous relationship! Part 2

We are all spending the night at Gyne, Marie is scolding those who made a mess on the floor and for the first time, Vivi and I get drunk, Vivi is so happy that in one day she got almost 500 Silver, Secra is laughing from Zee's jokes, this is the first time I hear Secra's laugh, Den and Vexar compete with each other on drinking game and Shive as the judges. I rest my head on the table for a bit but I end up falling asleep.

I'm half awake, I think someone is carrying me. It's Zee! He's carrying me to the Inn, I'm surprised and he put me down and I apologize to him, I see Secra is carrying Vivi on her back, she's still sleeping. I thank Zee for the money, even though all I did was carrying the wounded. He pats me on my back and smile. Then he says,

"Doing good deeds, no matter if it is small or big. You will be rewarded for that, and money... well... it's nothing to me, so giving it to everyone for their hard work is worth it."

I thanked him again for everything he did for someone like me, he just smiled. When we arrived at the Inn, I showed Secra Vivi's room.

I waited in the hall. Then Secra came out of Vivi's room and goes to Zee's room,

"(Ohh...wait, what?! I know that Zee and Edith is not a couple, is it Zee and Secra a couple? What is their relationship? I can't think of anything right now, I better go to my room and get some sleep.)"

I just realized that I didn't see Zee's party at the raid, I wondered why, when I thought about it, my eyes felt so heavy and I fell asleep immediately.

I woke up early in the morning. I didn't have any plan for today. Maybe I'll ask Vivi when she woke up if she wanted to do another quest from the guild. Same as before, I went for a jog, this time I went the opposite direction from yesterday, I jog past the church, I saw few High Priest were cleaning the lawn, then the training ground. I rest a bit at the riverside where I saw Shive, I closed my eyes for a few minutes, enjoyed the sounds of the water and birds chirping. When I opened my eyes, Shive stood beside me and stared at me. I jumped and apologized because this was the spot where Shive sat yesterday. After I said goodbye to her, she grabbed my neck like a cat and pulled me back and she says,

"Who said you can leave?"

I'm a bit scared, and replies,

"I... I thought you didn't want to see me, so I don't want to bother you, Miss Shive."

She replies,

"Yes, but big br... Zee asked me to train you from now on. I will train your reflexes and defenses. I will be at the training ground from morning to noon."

I reply,

"Oh thank you Miss Shive, but I don't know if I can today, I need to ask Vivi first if she wants to do a quest from the guild today or not."

She replies,

"It's okay, just come to the training ground when you want to start the training."

I nodded and smiled, then I said goodbye to her and continued to jog. She's actually a good person, I think this is my chance to get to know her. I wonder what kind of person she is.

I went to the market to help the villager again, this time Secra wasn't there. I was hoping to see her again, which I just realized that she went to Zee's room last night, thinking about it again made me feel uncomfortable, but it's not my business. The sun is up. I should get back to the Inn and ask Vivi about our plan for today.

At the Inn, I see Secra is hugging Zee in front of the Inn. She's hugging him for quite a long time. I'm going to eavesdropping on what that's all about. I can hear what Secra says,

"Please take care, don't overdo it. I wish we can spend another night together like last night. You always gave me what I needed. I'm going to miss you."

Zee replies,

"I will be back in no time that you won't even realize that I'm gone, and I will always be here for you if you need me."

So my guess was right, they are a couple, a love triangle. Mister Zee, you're such a player, while Edith is not here, you are with Miss Secra. But other than that, I'm curious why Zee is leaving the village, and I just realize why Shive said that she will replace Zee to train me from now on.

After Zee left and Secra went to the market, I went into my room then took a bath. When I left my room, Vivi just woke up and planned to eat breakfast, she invited me to eat breakfast together and I agreed. I asked Vivi what is our plan for today, she said she wants to do another quest, I also thought that we should do that so we can get a class change faster. Speaking of changing class, they have point requirements, each grade quest has its own point value which is.

E Grade 1 point.

D Grade 5 points.

C Grade 10 points.

C+ Grade 15 points.

B Grade 20 points.

B+ Grade 30 points.

A Grade 50 points.

A+ Grade 80 points.

S Grade 100 points.

S+ Grade 150 points.

SS Grade 200 points.

SS+ Grade 500 points.

Tier 1 to Tier 2 required 100 points to get Promotion Quest.

Tier 2 to Tier 3 required 300 points to get Promotion Quest.

Tier 3 to Tier 4 required 750 points and an explorer license which is an advanced adventurer to get a Promotion Quest.

Tier 4 to Tier 5 required 1500 points to get Promotion Quest and approval from the Guild Master of Adventurers Guild in the Averyne's Kingdom or 1 of the 13 Rulers of Asertia.

Those classes with only 4 Tiers are skipping the first promotion quest and are starting from the second promotion quest, which is 300 points.

Explorer license that can we get when we are a Tier 3, and it's a requirement to explore dungeons, lairs, temples, ruins, and caves. The grade quest for exploration is A to SS+ Grade.

They might think that it's easier when they mastered one class and planning to become a hybrid, but it's not, because from Tier 1 to Tier 3 they are not allowed to do the promotion quest using their main class skills, because the supervisor from the adventurers guild is watching and observing them. Also if they did all the requirements quest not using their secondary class, they are basically learning nothing at all and they are as weak as a beginner. While from Tier 3 to Tier 4 is easy since they already got the explorer's license from their first class, because they can skip to the promotion quest immediately. Then the real challenge is from Tier 4 to Tier 5, because if their previous rank promotion quest using their main class, they are basically not progressing and mastering their secondary class, and they will not be able to beat the supervisor on the Tier 5 promotion quest. So they are basically learning from the beginning again even though they mastered their main class. Many people are cheating by using their main class to progress and think they can change their secondary class faster, it turns out they stuck at tier 2 or 3. That's why people with hybrid classes took a secondary class that similar to their main class, for example, the main combat class, and take another combat class for their second class and so on.

After Vivi prepared herself, we went to Gyne to get a quest, since we already have 51 points this time we asked Marie for C Grade quest. She gave us a hunting quest, killing a Venomous Lizard that has been lurking near Crude with 20 Silver as a reward. We managed to kill 10 of them and went back to Gyne to confirm our quest. It's already evening and we decided to end our day and went to sleep because it was tiring to hunt them down.
