『Free Knights Guild』
It’s a huge organization with branches in the capital, Academy City, and other cities. It’s an organization like the adventurer’s guild that gathers and sends requests to people who aren’t national knights, or knights or Kiryu, and the Zatsuryu who boast their strength. By the way, they’re state-owned.
「Hmm, so this is the guild. Quite the desolate place」
A Kiryu boy entered the Free Knights Guild.
It’s unusual for students to register in the guild and receive jobs. Students visit the guild for a variety of reasons, whether to earn money or as a place to train for the future.
They often receive work orders from the guild and travel outside the academy city, and in such cases, they can take a leave from school, treating it as an authorized absence. Some students take advantage of this to return to school.
The beautiful receptionist noticed the new boy.
「Welcome to the Free Knights Guild. How can I help you today?」
「I’m here to register」
「Certainly. If this is your first registration, your guild rank will start at the third rank in gold, is that okay?」
「What? A third rank? Are you making fun of me?!」
The guild ranks assigned for Kiryu are Gold, while Zatsuryu gets silver, and Humans gets Bronze, and they have first to third rank each.
The first rank is veterans. The second rank is common. The third rank is apprentice. There’s hardly any first-rank gold Kiryu out there. That’s because the scouting and good treatment of the national knights or territorial knights are so good.
When it comes to the Free Knights, a Kiryu who reaches the first rank in gold doesn’t exist.
「Do you want your body to learn my strength?」
The boy releases magic and threatens the receptionist. The boy was exuding arrogance in that he never considered that it was bad to hurt people.
「I’m sorry. Then, I’ll use my authority to certify you as a special rank in Gold. Would you please calm your anger?」
「I see. Special rank. That’s natural for me. I’ll forgive you this time」
「Thank you. Please proceed to the private room in the back to continue your registration」
The receptionist lowered her head and approved the special rank qualification, and then the boy went to the back, following the receptionist. Pleased with the gaze of the lowlives around him, he continued his registration in the back.

「This is the Free Knight’s guild. If you need money, I recommend taking a job here because it’s an easy way to get money. Let’s register today」
Melody-oneesama guides us into the guild, and a crowd of people looks away as soon as they see us.
Woah, we’re treated like tumors. Well, they don’t have to get themselves involved with a Kiryu after all. If this was a web novel, then there would be some assholes asking “Why are you bringing kids to this place” That’s unfortunate.
「Welcome to the Free Knight’s Guild. How can I help you today?」
「Please register these kids」
「Certainly. If this is your first registration, your guild rank will start at the third rank in gold, is that okay?」
「So she says. What do you think? Are you good with the third rank?」
「What even are the guild ranks?」
The Free Knights Guild isn’t taught in the class yet. This is a state organization, so I know that it’s bad if one acts violently here.
Melody-oneesama and the receptionist gave us a detailed explanation.
The guild ranks are gold, silver, and bronze, divided by the ability required.
Kiryus have combat power, massive annihilation power, and attribute magic, they get gold.
Zatsuryu have the ability can fight off weak monsters, and they’re much more sturdy and stronger than ordinary people, so they get silver.
And it seems that the ordinary people who can handle work get the copper rank. Well, even if they’re ordinary citizens, they’re still up to the standards in physical strength and specialties.
「So we’re starting at the third rank, as apprentices?」
「I’m being told that I’m a third rank…」
Lina-chan looks dissatisfied with the explanation. Nasha-chan too.
Mira-chan just accepted it, saying “It is what it is”
「If you’re not satisfied, I can use my authority to give you a special rank, would you like that?」
「Special? Do they have that?」
「Oh? You seem to have a discerning eye」
The receptionist recommends the special rank with a perfect business smile.
Please stop lying to Lina-chan.
「Girls, take the third rank. You don’t need the special rank, do you?」
「If you say so, I’ll go with the third rank」
「I-I was thinking of doing that in the first place!」
「I don’t mind」
「Then, please proceed to the room in the back. That’s where the registration goes」
The receptionist guides us to the back
「Why did you refuse the special rank?」
「Huh? I mean…」
Melody-oneesama’s teasing, or should I say that she’s being mean.
「You’re getting that “Special Rank” for doing nothing. In short, they isolate the “idiots who are troublesome”」
「Ahahaha, that’s an accurate way to say it!! I knew you were going to be fun」
Melody-oneesama laughed out loud and followed us to the registration.
Lina-chan and the girls got Gold Class Third Rank. I got Silver Class Third Rank.
I’m no Kiryu so I get the silver class, but the three of them caused some trouble by asking to bring me to the same Gold Class.
