Volume 1 Chapter 8 First Dungeon
"Now, let's talk about something you've been waiting for... 'Seeker's Income'."
The crowd buzzes with excitement.
"First, let's talk about the average income for Seekers. If we assume a Seeker dives into a dungeon for 5 hours a day, for a month, a F-rank Seeker would earn... about 100,000 yen."
100,000 yen... huh.
That's a pretty low amount to risk your life for.
"Well, if you stay an F-rank Seeker, that's how much you make."
Voices of disappointment come from the participants.
But,
"If you rank up from F to E, you can make 400,000 to 500,000 yen a month. You can earn more than a regular office worker!"
"""""Ohhh!"""""
"And if you can reach D rank, you can earn 600,000 to 800,000 yen a month."
"""""Ohhhhh!"""""
The participants got really excited.
I got excited too.
"And if you reach C rank, you will easily make over 1 million yen a month."
"""""Woooooah!"""""
The participants shouted louder than before.
"I hope all of you aim to raise your rank to D... or even C in the Seeker business!"
The instructor spoke strongly.
C-class...?
It may be a long journey, but it's worth it.
"By the way, all buying and selling in the dungeon is done with the registration card. In other words, the registration card has a 'payment function'. In the dungeon, you can obtain magic stones by defeating monsters, but sometimes they drop items other than magic stones. Among those items, there are also occasional 'rare' items. In that case, it is quite common for a single item to be worth over 1 million, so if you are lucky, even an F rank can bring in some extra income! "
"""""Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"""""
"Also, the registration card can be used not only in guild transactions, but also to withdraw cash at banks and convenience stores. In other words, it can be used to make payments in towns just like a credit card."
Everyone listening to the lecture was shouting, "Wow, this is so useful!".
I think the payment function of this registration card is certainly amazing.
You can use it in town like a credit card.
"Well, this just shows that both the country and companies care a lot about the magic stones and items they can get from dungeons. More than anything, Japan has fewer skilled Seekers compared to other countries, so there are high hopes for Seekers here..."
That's the country's situation...
It's true that I read online that Japan has fewer skilled Seekers than other countries.
So that's why there are benefits...
I can agree with that.
"Because of that, I hope you all can aim for C rank, or even higher! That's all for the class! Dismissed!!"
With that, the Seeker training class ended, raising everyone's spirits.
Alright, let's aim for C rank and get pumped up!

"Good job, Todo."
"Oh, Yoko. Thanks, you too."
"How did the 'young Seekers' do today?"
"They weren't great. There weren't really any good ones this time. Maybe 5 or 6 could even become F rank Seekers?"
After finishing the class, the teacher, Todo, returned to the waiting room on the first floor and complained to the receptionist, Yoko Orikasa.
"Really? The boy I checked in earlier seemed like he had a lot of potential."
"What? You think he has potential? That's rare for you to say."
"Yeah. He looked like he had a lot of potential."
"Oh, so that's it? Maybe I missed it? By the way, is the 'boy'... young?"
"Yes. He said he was a high school student."
"A high school student?! That means he's skipping school! You let him through?! "
"Yes. He was a boy who looked very promising."
"Is he really that talented? What kind of high school student would make A-class Seeker Yoko Orikasa say something like that...? What's his name?"
"Um, I think...oh, this, this! Yuki Takeru-kun"
"Yuki...Takeru..."
* * *
"Okay, let's do this!"
"Okay! Let's get pumped!"
Yay yay....
After the Seeker training course ended, the participants entered the 'Seeker Training Dungeon' beside the Seeker training guild with high spirits.
This dungeon is small, only about 10 floors, and even on the 10th floor, only weak monsters appear. Right now, it is used to train people who want to be Seekers.
In other words, in this 'Seeker Training Dungeon', you can't leave until you reach level 2!
Oh, wait, you can leave if you want.
......'Seeker Training Dungeon'
"Hmm, is it just a cave...?"
...
...
...
When I entered the dungeon, I saw a scene that looked like a cave.
It feels a little damp.
"Take that!"
"Here we go!"
Clang! Clang!
Then, I could hear shouts and the sound of weapons clashing all around.
It seems like they are already fighting monsters.
"Oh, are they teaming up?"
Then, the two of them quickly defeated 3 slimes right in front of them.
Indeed, if you team up, you can defeat more monsters than if you're alone.
However, if you join forces with someone, you might be deceived if you don't know them well, but they're still like 'apprentice Seekers', so frankly, no one would deceive them.
Even if someone does deceive someone, if they are reported to the training guild, the person who deceived them will probably lose their path as a Seeker.
The disadvantages are too big.
"Let's fight together. Okay, I'll join forces with someone..."
I decided to follow the example of the two people before me and invite someone.
Now that I've finished the Seeker training course, there are other people with the same goal of "leveling up to level 2," so it should be easy to recruit them...
"...ah"
Looking around, I saw other Seekers working together to hunt monsters.
Moreover, it seems that the other Seekers had already formed groups.
"Oh, I'm totally late..."
