Stomaches, Equipment, And Acquaintances
...BAMM!... BAMM!... BAMM!...
"Vier-chan! Hurry up in the toilet! We need to leave now."
"Are you still pooping, Vier?"
"I'm not!!!... And have some manners, both of you, Mifumi-sama, and Felin! The neighbors might hear you if you keep shouting like that!"
It's true. I'm not in the toilet because I need to do number 2. I'm just having a little bit of stomaches and being in the toilet helps me to relax even for a little bit.
The reason for this stomaches? It's because today is the day of the Adventurers' Academy Entrance Exam. Thinking that this exam will be one of many important turning points of our life as an adventurer, makes me a bit anxious which results in my current stomaches.
Besides, we never fought a Golem before. Most of our combat experiences are with fighting insect-like monsters that mostly appear at the Magical_Area, the Forest_Valley, near our hometown Greendale.
Just thinking about what kind of punishment Misaki-sensei has prepared for us in case we fail this exam is enough to give me goosebumps.
"Ugh!... I don't want to be hanged on my feet anymore..."
.

"You surely take your time, Vier-chan."
"Mhm!... Vier likes to stay in the bathroom these days."
"Oi!!!... Manners! Other people might hear what you're saying, Mifumi-sama, Felin."
After my little antics at the bathroom, our group is heading this early in the morning towards the west gate of the Adventurers Outpost Town which is the gathering location for the entrance exam.
Each of us is carrying the equipment that we prepared yesterday.
For Mifumi-sama, her equipment are the following...
(...Sorceress_Staff: Skills: Lava_Ball, Water_Blade, Whirlwind, Rock_Blast...
...Storage_Bracelet: Skills: Storage, Regeneration...
...Item_Bag: Spell: Storage...
...Enhanced Pickaxe...
...Camping Equipment...
...Sorceress_Robe: Enhancement: Physical and Magical defense...
...Greendale's Dagger...)
Mifumi-sama's Dagger which is now sheathed on her left side as her secondary weapon, also serves as the proof that she is a member of the Noble Baron House of Greendale. Its hilt has the decorative design of a spear's blade and two cross spears which is the symbol for Greendale House.
It's a cool-looking symbol to show off to everyone but we need to cover it up with a handkerchief to avoid unnecessary trouble from annoying people.
For Felin, her equipment are...
(...Black_Tiger Knife...
...Black_Tiger Dagger...
...Steel_Golem Knife...
...Steel_Golem Dagger...
...Item_Bag: Spell: Storage...
...Enhanced Pickaxe...
...Camping Equipment...
...Leather_Armor: Enhancement: Physical and Magical defense...)
Felin's Black_Tiger Knife and Dagger are stored in her Item_Bag because of Ms. Eun scolding that a child should not be wavering an expensive weapons like that.
Therefore, the Steel_Golem Knife and Dagger, which we bought at the Eirian_Blacksmith store, are the ones that are currently sheathed at Felin's sides.
Finally, for my equipment...
(...Double-Barrel_Shotgun...
...Six-round Magnum_Revolver...
...Steel_Web_Grappling_Gun...
...Fire_Grenade...
...Poison_Grenade...
...Sound_Grenade...
...Explosion_Grenade...
...Shadow_Grenade...
...Round Orichalcum_Shield...
...Slime_Watch: Skill: Storage, Regeneration...
...Item_Bag: Spell: Storage...
...Secret Shoe Storage: Skill: Storage...
...Enhanced Pickaxe...
...Camping Equipment...
...Leather_Armor: Enhancement: Physical and Magical defense..
...Iron Dagger...)
I'm carrying a lot of Magic_Item since I'm not that efficient in using Monster_Cores' skill. And I only have three Magic_Item guns. The Double-Barrel_Shotgun which is currently strapped on my back, the Magnum_Revolver which is strapped on my right side, and the Steel_Web_Grappling_Gun which is stored inside my Slime_Watch.
Since getting them licensed is such a bother I only have these three Magic_Item guns right now.
Yep!... Magic_Items needed to be licensed by the Magic Association or else a Craftsmaster won't be allowed to continue making any Magic_Items and will be penalized or in the worst case scenario, have their license revoked.
Without any food and drinks, that is all of the equipment that we're allowed to bring for the entrance exam. Apparently, according to the receptionist Ms.Klea, bringing food and drinks has been prohibited during the entrance exam.
I wonder why is that though.
.
.
.
""We're finally here.""
"Mhm!... We're not late because of Vier po..."
My hands swiftly move to cover Felin's mouth and stop her from saying that definitely not true statement.
Forgetting that matter, there are a lot of adventurers more than I expected. There are probably less than a hundred adventurers here today.
Most of them are older than our group with a few groups that have members close to our ages.
There is also a list of Adventurers' Party posted on one of the improvise boards but most of the names are unfamiliar to the three of us considering that we're new in town or that those groups have come from different Kingdoms. Probably, even from a different continent.
Well, what would you expect from a country bumpkin Adventurers' Party like us? We're so unknowledgeable.
It might also be that those groups are not that famous themselves but considering that they passed the Admission Exam at their place, means each Adventurers' Party is capable of their ability.
.
.
.
"It's quite unusual for your group to not arrive late, my Rival."
"It's good to see that all of you are doing fine, Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf."
"Thanks for all your help back then at the Greendale Town, everyone."
The three groups who casually greeted the three of us were our acquaintances who took the same Admission Exam in our hometown and traveled half of the continent together with our group on the Mana_Train.
It will be no difference to call them friends already but using the term acquaintances sounds more mature and cool.
"Mifumi-sama, Vier is making a weird face."
"It is called a smug face, Felin-chan. I wonder what Vier-chan is thinking right now?"
Setting aside those casual remarks from Felin and Mifumi-sama, the first group who greeted us was the Bronze_Rank Adventurers' Party Aurikal_Sword, and the one who keeps calling Mifumi-sama her Rival is their leader, Ms. Viscount... I mean Nerna along with her friends Acier, Kupfer, and Birini.
The second group is an all-male group, the Iron_Rank Adventurers' Party Oreo_Sky. Their members are Mr. Kole who seems to like our Adventurers' Party name along with his companions Mr. Ebom, Mr. Auryn, and Mr. Tawny.
The last group is the famous all-female group, which we almost accidentally sold at the open market in our home town... I don't want to remember that incident anymore so let's just forget that... Anyway, they're the Iron_Rank Adventurers' Party Poop_Shape_Cloud... I mean the Arachne_Star. Their members are the famous Oracle_Witch, Ms. Aster, along with her friends Ms. Mika, Ms. Noa, and Ms. Akane.
That is a bit short for everyone's introduction but it's not like I know everything about them so that's acceptable enough.
"Since the four of our groups are the representatives of Greendale Town's Adventurers' Guild, let's do our best so we can pass with flying colors!"
"""Yeah!!!..."""
With Mr. Kole's declaration, all of us shouted our cheers to show our determination to pass the Adventurers' Academy Entrance Exam.
