Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger!

Chapter 303: A 'Friendly” Conversation

"Hoh, we finally meet, Shye Crowley, ace representative of this year's finest academy. I find it sad that our first meeting was because of a complaint, however, worry not as I do understand where you're coming from."

"Hello, Guild Master Corvus, it's a pleasure to finally meet you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shye offered a deep bow to his guild master, whom he quickly found himself liking.

Just from Corvus' initial words, it was evident that while he might not possess the same level of skill as Soaring Raven as an adventurer, he was undeniably a fair and empathetic guild master.

"Hahaha! I've heard of your epic tales as the notorious rookie. Makes me wonder how not even a single guildsman has recognized you." Corvus said with a beaming smile, probing how Shye would react.

Being a guild master, he understood the importance of knowing the personalities of his guild members, particularly someone like Shye, who was likely to elevate the overall rank of his branch.

A good casual conversation will surely do the trick.

"Hahaha, well, I'm donning mage equipment and is known as a mage by the guildsmen. Maybe that's the reason why." Shye replied with a mild laugh.

Even he found it weird that no one recognized him yet.

Well, it works in his favor though, hence, he had no qualms about his current situation.

After all, suddenly revealing the fact that he was also a mighty warrior would surely net him a hefty amount of points.

As for Corvus, he hadn't expected Shye's easygoing reply at all.

He thought that such a talented rookie would surely be someone prideful and arrogant.

He even heard quite a few rumors about Shye's unbridled arrogance, thus, he prepared himself for an unpleasant conversation.

Well, Corvus wasn't wrong.

As of late, Shye had indeed been someone rather prideful and arrogant.

Since Corvus at least made an effort to appease his heart, Shye didn't feel the need to escalate the situation.

Hence, he replied "cordially"—feigning ignorance.

"Oh! So that's what it was! I totally believe you, guild master! I now understand that you only want the best for me."

Hearing Shye's words, Corvus almost choked on his saliva and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This rookie was indeed a bit too vengeful.

His words sounded sincere, however, one couldn't know if he was being sarcastic or not.

Hence, Corvus opted to just change the topic.

"MHMM! I'm glad you understand. Now, let's get down to business. Regarding your complaint, I do agree that the rewards seem way too meager compared to the difficulty and danger you and Ramah faced. Tell me, what is it you desire?"

Hearing Corvus' words Shye's ears almost clapped in glee.

With such an advantageous position in a negotiation, he might as well kill himself if he couldn't capitalize

This time, the guild master couldn't hold back a shiver from creeping down his spine.

He knew that the rookie...was about to extort rewards from him like a veteran bandit.

However, what options did he have? He was unquestionably at fault for not verifying the information before permitting such a high-level quest to be posted on the quest board.

If it were any other guild members ranked lower than Emerald who took on the quest, they would undoubtedly have perished by now, all due to his negligence.

Upon realizing this, Corvus suddenly felt that rewarding this rookie for not only completing the quest but also saving a few guild members from certain doom was justified.

The initial stinginess he felt had now dissipated.

"Thank you, guild master, for indulging me. Here are my conditions..."
