Volume 1 Chapter 6 Seeker Training Guild
"This is the 'Seeker Training Guild'... I saw it online, but seeing it in person is much bigger than I imagined."
I got off at the bus stop called 'In front of the Seeker Training Guild' near Ikebukuro Station's west exit.
Then I saw a building that looked like the 'Seeker Training Guild'.
It's a 60-story building near Ikebukuro Station's west exit.
The 'Seeker Training Guild' was on the 1st and 2nd floors of that building.
"Uh, wow, such a fancy entrance... I'm really feeling nervous."
I slowly entered through the fancy entrance.
"There are not many people here... Is this normal for a weekday afternoon?"
Inside, there weren't many people because it was a weekday afternoon.
The time was just a little after 1 PM.
Maybe lunch break just ended because the 'reception' shutter just opened.
I decided to talk to the woman at the reception.
"Excuse me, I came to take the 'Seeker Training Course'..."
"Is this your first time?"
"Yes."
"Huh? Are you maybe a high school student?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"Hmm... Normally this time is school time, right? Did you skip school to come here?"
"No, no... No, yes. I've decided to live as a Seeker, so I'm attending school as much as I can to graduate."
At first, I thought about lying, but from now on I really wanted to live as a Seeker, so I told her my honest feelings without lying.
"...I see. Well, there's nothing wrong with that. But high school students are still kids. You don't know anything about the future or society. So I don't really recommend you skip school to become a Seeker... But you seem to be a bit different."
"Huh?"
"I don't know what to say, but you seem pretty calm and collected for a high school student. You're definitely different from the high school students I've seen so far."
"Huh...?"
That's how the receptionist evaluated me.
Is she praising me?
"Yes. You should be good enough! Based on my choice, I'll let you attend the 'Seeker Training Course'!"
"R-Really?!"
"Of course...! I'm 'Orikasa Yoko'."
Then, Orikasa-san reached out her hand.
"Ah, nice to meet you! I'm Yuki Takeru..."
I introduced myself and shook hands with Orikasa-san.
"Hehe... I think you will definitely become a promising Seeker. My gut feeling tells me so!"
"I-I see..."
I don't know how good Orikasa-san's gut feeling is, but I can't be unhappy about such words... I mean, it's super nice to hear that from such a pretty lady!
"So from now on, I'll 'mark' you..."
"Huh!? (Gulp)"
When Orikasa-san winked and gave a playful smile, I got all flustered and my face turned red.
W-Wait... This is too sudden!
"Oh? You're surprisingly innocent? I thought you were popular..."
"N-No...! I'm not weak against girls! I-It's not like that!"
"Oh my, hehe... I like your desperate attitude. I don't dislike it at all!"
"(Kaaaaaah!)"
My already flushed face turns even crimson.
Huh?
What is it?
This is the Seeker training guild, right?
It's not a snack bar or a cabaret club, right?
Oh... her breasts are big.
Also, I'm not a virgin!!!!
Oh... that's a lie. I'm a cherry boy.
First of all, I'm panicking and thinking in a rapid-fire manner.
Then Orikasa-san,
"Oh, yes! The Seeker training course is about to start. The course is in the back room on the second floor, so go there. There's a sign at the entrance, so you'll know it right away. So hurry up."
"Yes, thank you!"
After thanking Orikasa-san, I hurried off to the second floor where the lecture was being held.

"That kid said he was a high school student, but he has a special vibe... He might look like a high schooler, but he seems more than that... No, actually, he feels like he has the same power as the few top Seekers in the country... It was that kind of vibe. Who is he really?"
Yoko Orikasa whispers to herself while watching Takeru hurry to the lecture hall.
