Volume 4: Chapter 32:

"Well, I'm off!" Keith stated as he was dressed up in some armor. It was time for him to go out and do some hunting. It had been some time since he did it.

"Do you guys need anything from the city?"

"Can you get me some metal, Leader?"

"I want to get something to eat."

"If you can, can you get some wood?"

"Gotcha!" Like that, Keith headed to the city. He looked at the guild. Keith hadn't come here for some time now. Guess I should go. When he entered the guild, all eyes were locked on him.

"That's the kid in the arena."

"Don't look him in the eye!"

"I heard he could destroy a troll ape with only a punch!"

"I heard he could punch through anything!"

"..." Keith was speechless, unable to say anything. What is up with these rumors?! Those guys weren't even trying to hide it. They talked loud enough for Keith to hear it!

How was he able to punch through anything? There were some gripes he had with that! Keith looked at the adventurers who said it. The moment he did, the adventurers looked down, not wanting to look Keith in the eye!

"He's going to end them."

"Good luck."

Keith shook his head as he walked to the counter, "Hello, Madison."

"Welcome back, Keith. How have you been doing?" Madison smiled

Keith scratched his head, "I've been doing fine. Sorry about making you worry during those times."

Madison waved her hand, "It's fine! As long as you're okay, that's great. Are you going on a quest today?"

"Mmhmm, I haven't been here for some time."

"If that's the case, please do some easy quests first. I want you to get back into fighting shape." It had been some time since Keith did some quests. He might need some time to readjust.

"Understood." Keith nodded. I need to find a lot of rush bulls. And I would need to get some chicken as well. As Keith looked at the quest board. And when he did, the adventurers quickly backed away from him.

"..." This is going to be happening for some time. Keith sighed as he looked at the quests. These are good. Some caught his eye. Keith took them and brought them to the table,

"I want to do these,"

Madison looked down at it and smiled, "Be careful out there."

"Understood!" Keith smiled as he walked out of the adventurers guild. When he did,

"Madison, you're so lucky to have an adventurer like that."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"He's a rising star." The entire guild saw the fight with Todd Mills. His abilities made it clear that he was going to rise in rank.

Madison shook her head, "Stop thinking like that."

"But why is he only taking lower-rank quests?" One of the employees interjected. Everyone saw the demolition Keith caused to Todd. His strength was much higher than anyone.

But the person continued to take lower-rank quests.

It was odd.

"Ahh, I forgot to tell him about it."

...

"Let's get as much as I can," Keith pumped his fists. As he continued to run around. His expression sparkled. He was going to catch as many rush bulls and chickens.

As he continued to search, he found a horde of rush bulls.

"That makes one thing done." Keith rolled his arms as he dashed at the rush bulls.

"I think I have enough here," Keith wiped the face. He was content. Now I need to find the chickens. The search began.

...

"Madison, I want to cash in all the stones I have," Keith returned to the guild and headed to Madison the first thing.

"Sure," Madison nodded. Like that, all of the stones were dropped on the table. The adventurers were surprised by all the stones that were there!

"Wasn't he gone for half an hour?"

"How did he get so many stones?!"

They were low rank. But how was it possible to get all of this?!

Madison started to count them up. Once that was done, she handed the coins over.

"Also, Keith. I need to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you want to take the rank-up exam?"
