The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 021: The Decided On Path Forward

Within Lamdrion, Vivian might not be the strongest adventurer, but he was the leader of the best adventuring party.

Plus, every member of this party were under Vivian’s care when they were newbies themselves. It’s because of Vivian’s directions that they’ve managed reached where they currently are, as one of Lamdrion’s top adventurers.

In addition, due to Vivian’s gentle and kind demeanor, she has trained quite a few newbies and gotten them to where they are today.

Therefore, within Lamdrion and even numerous other town, Vivian’s reputation is quite good.

Gentle, kind, and easy to get along with. She’s also the one who train many newbies, a beautiful girl, and equipped a set of heavy armor and a huge shield for the sake of protecting her comrades. Without any modesty, someone like that could be considered a goddess in the heart of many.

Leili and Vivian were old acquaintances, so Leili trusts Vivian quite a bit. Every single time the adventurer’s guild got a troublesome request, she would recommend Vivian to resolve it. Whenever something happens at the guild, Leili will also often discuss it with Vivian. Plus, if newbies with uncommonly good potential appears, Leili would directly recommend them to join Vivian’s party and have Vivian train them.

Although this strange newcomer couldn’t be said to be the type with unusually good potential, he was worth paying attention to if he really did have some kind of unique or special skill.

“You know as well, unique and special skills typically have effects surpassing that of normal skills. This is especially true for unique skills. Some unique skills might now be all that useful on the battlefield, but they could instead have powerful potential in other areas. Some could even completely change a person’s future and allow them to ignore various unfavorable conditions and, in the end, earn fame and fortune.”

Leili got serious again.

“Basically, anyone who awakened a unique skill have the possibility of becoming a top contender in an area. The best example for that are the two current court advisers of the Kingdom.”

Those two court advisers are quite low leveled. They haven’t even reached level 10, and they haven’t learned a single combat related skill.

And yet, their position within the kingdom is higher than the vast majority of high level existences.

This is because, of the two court advisers, one of them has a unique skill that raises the success chance of the [Taming] skill by a great deal. Due to the ability to tame high level demonic beasts like wyverns, they’ve managed to provide a great many wyverns for the knight orders of the Kingdom and produce various wyvern knights. The other has the unique skill to rapidly speed up the growth and maturity of any plant. He created a major surplus for the Kingdom’s food supplies and greatly shortened the growth time for numerous materials of magic potions. This was a great service that made the Mitra Kingdom a major power famed for its abundant food and potions.

With those as examples, the Kingdom will pay a great deal of attention to anyone with a unique skill. The adventurer’s guild would also pay a similar amount of attention to anyone who has or is likely to awaken a unique skill.

If not for that, then there’s no way Shien’s information would have ended up on Leili’s desk.

“Although the chances of this newbie having a unique skill is relatively low, he’s still worth the attention even if he had a special skill. If he was actually a prodigy who for whatever reason wasn’t able to property develop, that’s even better. Anyways, he does bear watching, that’s for sure.”

Leili had that kind of plan.

Of course Vivian doesn’t mind training a newbie either.

Or rather, at this point, there aren’t really many adventurers who have the patience and goodwill to train newbies besides Vivian.

Not to mention the fact that Shien’s little test with the magic scanner at the adventurer’s guild today had already spread. If they just randomly assigned him to someone’s party, then even putting aside whether they’d be willing to accept him, there’s a greater likelihood that he would end up being treated by the party as trash that doesn’t have a single skill, and end up getting left out or even facing discrimination.

When considering that point, putting him in with Vivian’s party is for the best.

It must be said. For a new adventurer that just joined today and is unknown whether they’d be able to become a proper adventurer, for Leili to make such a perfectly appropriate arrangement is already more than responsible of her.

Even if it was done in consideration of the chance of Shien having a unique skill, the chances of him actually having a unique skill is quite low. The likelier possibility is that he really is someone useless who couldn’t even learn a single skill and was not actually worth such careful arrangement.

The fact that Leili could go that far is probably also because she cares for others.

Only.

“It’s been a long time since my party has had a male newbie adventurer join in. This could be a bit troublesome.”

Vivian spoke like she’s troubled, which made Leili shrug.

It couldn’t be helped. Besides being capable, Vivian’s adventuring part also had another point that everyone knows of.

That is the fact that this party, including Vivian herself, was composed completely of beautiful girls.

In this world, there are quite a few women who choose to become adventurers, but female adventurers who are both beautiful and powerful do number very few.

For people like that, if they show up at the adventurer’s guild, they’d definitely become a target of recruitment for various parties and end up causing all kinds of conflicts. It could even arouse criminal intentions from some people.

Since she understood this point full well, Vivian paid special attention to raising that adventuring party. It’s for the sake of protecting those female adventurers from all kinds of bad intentions.

But, even so, a number of regretful events still happened in the past.

It was already said previously. Vivian’s is a kindly person, and she has a friendly attitude towards newbies. Leili would also often hand newbies with good potential over for Vivian to train. But although those people may have had potential, it doesn’t mean they were also moral.

There were past incidents where people who joined Vivian’s party had formed evil intentions towards the girls of the party and ended up trying to put their hands on those girls.

Therefore, it’s been a long time since Vivian has allowed a newbie to join her adventuring party unless the other person was female. Otherwise, all Vivian could do is give out a little help where she could.

This time though, Leili specifically arranged for a male adventurer to join their party, so Vivian was a bit hesitant.

Of course, it’s not like Leili didn’t consider that.

“With Deire around, if this newbie really does go overboard, then let her do as she did with the previous ones. Just go ahead and break his limbs and I’ll cancel his privileges as an adventurer and loss him out of the guild.”

Leili give those directions without hesitation.

“Alright then.”

After considering it a bit, Vivian finally gave a nod.

Thus, Shien’s path forward was decided on.
