Elena went to the adventurer guild alongside the guild messenger. He was looking at Elena with mad respect. It was his first time seeing with the capability of becoming a S rank and if the rumours in the guild were true that the chance of her becoming S rank was more than 100%.
After entering the guild, she was greeted with super loud cheering. Elena's prestige in the adventurer guild was insanely high. Only she increased the income of the high ranking ones with buying the materials in a higher prize, she also gave the low ranking adventurer easy monster catching job to get by.
Not only that potions and weapons were one of the most important items an adventurer would need and she made those things easily accessible to all the adventurers. Even outside practical gains Elena had helped several adventurer teams when they were in danger and also had given advice for free to many, which had saved countless lives. And she was also a divine class beauty. So why wouldn't they support her.
Her prestige was so high that if she told the adventurers to attack the King's castle 50% of them would attack without hesitation, 30% would attack after hesitating for a bit and the last 20% would run away. As everyone knows, Braves are temporary but cowards are eternal. Even some guild staff would also join them.
...
After getting congratulations from a lot of people and replying to each and everyone of them she was finally able to reach the guild master's room. His name was Vandel and he was a retired A rank adventurer with a level of 269.
Even after mentally preparing himself he still felt cold sweats running down his back. He could never get the scene of his bed filled with cuts out of his mind. He was a former A ranker for god's sake. Even tho after retirement he was not as strong as he was in his prime, it should still be impossible for another A ranker to something like that. He was 100% sure Elena was over level 300.
Elena quietly waited for him to calm down. After some time he finally calmed down enough to have a normal conversation. Without wasting any time he instantly gave Elena all the details she had to know about her rank up exam.
Basically there were three tests Elena had to pass in order to become a S rank adventurer. The first one was to hunt two S rank beasts. It was the simplest among all the tests. The second test was to investigate some kind of trouble. As an S ranker only having strength was not enough, you should also have good decision making abilities and a decent amount of intelligence.
The last test was the hardest and normally quite a few adventurers failed this test. It was to subjugate an ultra large sized bandits group. Sounds simple, right? But in an ultra large sized bandits group the number of members they had exceeded 10,000 and this was the minimum estimate. Normally an ultra large sized bandits group had a larger army than some small sized nations.
It was basically equivalent to fighting a whole army alone. Not only that but those bandits also had several magic items and other useful tools and that made the whole thing a lot harder.
While coming from Rin, even tho Elena only faced off against one S rank monster, the Wicked Forest of Ull had more then 100 S rank monsters. So, finding two evil S ranks and killing them would not be a big deal.
The second one was a bit tricky, not because she would have any problem completing the investigation but because these types of missions were quite rare and hard to find. But fortunately for Elena, the headquarters had already sent her a mission of this type. Even tho the location was a bit far from the capital it was still inside the Myrilia Kingdom.
As for the last one, that might be the hardest test for everyone but as a seasoned bandit hunter and as someone who specialised in looting bandits this was the best kind of mission for Elena. A bandit group with over 10,000 members was not uncommon in Elena's previous world and each and every time she raided such bandits' hideout her income was always top notch.
There was also an ultra large sized bandits group in the domain of Margrave Raflieta. And this location was not very far from the capital either. So after thinking for some time Elena decided to complete the mission of hunting two S rank monsters today and then going to the domain of Margrave Raflieta. There were still four days left before she had to join the academy as headmaster and she thought those four days should be enough for her to complete these three missions.
So after knowing all the information Elena politely thanked the guildmaster which sent another chill down his spine and left the guild. First, she went to her house and notified Shuri and Vista about what she would be doing for the coming days. Then she packed some food as she planned to have lunch inside the forest and went to the Wicked Forest of Ull.
...
Elena was jumping from trees to trees in search of a S rank monster. The first one she came across was a giant treant type monster. It was technically S rank but as it couldn't move from one place to another so the danger level of this monster was quite low so Elena left it alone.
The next monster she came across was a grotesque one. It had a cylindrical shape and a large mouth in the middle. From the corner of the large mouth seven tentacles like appendages came out and each of the tentacles also had a mouth-like shape at the end.
This monster had 8 small legs so the speed was slow but it had high regeneration, it could shoot beams from the mouth and also had the sharp teeth for close quarters combat. So it was a tough monster among the S rank. This monster's name was Asdynpiona and it was level 339.
As this monster didn't have anything that might help Elena in increasing her strength, so she easily killed it. She dodged all the beams and then got close to the monster to pierce it with a large ice spear to kill it. After that she had her lunch in a peaceful part of the forest and then she continued with her search again.
If Elena wanted she actually could just create two S rank monsters and complete the mission but she didn't do that as killing a few dangerous monsters from the forest would be beneficial and she also enjoyed the hunting process.
Before the end of the day Elena only came across 5 more harmful S rank monsters and ended up killing all of them. Those five were a large Poison Basilisk (Poesydeon), a Shadow Leopard (Nyxis), a large python-like monster without poison (Seariea), a tough boar (Dandogrando) and the last one was a large bird (Wievion).
All of their levels were between levels 320-340. Then after having an enjoyable hunting time Elena returned home. Next day she would go to the domain of Margrave Raflieta to do her favourite work and that was to hunt bandits. She couldn't wait for it.
