The Decided Direction

In Lamigium, Vivian wasn't the strongest adventurer, but she was the most outstanding captain of an adventurer party.

Moreover, everyone in this adventurer party had been taken care of by Vivian during their rookie days. It was thanks to Vivian's guidance that they had grown to become premier adventurers in Lamigium.

Not only that, but due to Vivian's naturally gentle and kind personality, she had guided many rookies, enabling them to succeed.

Therefore, Vivian's reputation, or rather her popularity, was very high in Lamigium and even in other towns.

Gentle, kind, approachable, a guide to so many rookies, plus a beautiful girl who donned heavy armor and raised a giant shield to protect her companions – it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say such a person was the goddess in people's hearts.

Ryley and Vivian had a long-standing relationship and trusted Vivian considerably. Whenever there was a tricky commission at the Adventurer's Guild, she would recommend Vivian to handle it. When something happened at the guild, Ryley would also often consult with Vivian. In fact, if there was a promising rookie, Ryley would directly recommend them to join Vivian's adventurer party for guidance.

The situation with the peculiar rookie this time, while not yet a promising type, was worth paying attention to if they truly possessed any Unique Skills or Special Skills.

"As you know, Unique Skills and Special Skills often have outstanding effects different from regular skills. Especially Unique Skills, some might be completely useless in combat but can achieve great things in other fields, while others can completely change a person's future, allowing them to disregard any unfavorable conditions and ultimately succeed."

Ryley became quite serious.

"Basically, those who can awaken a Unique Skill have the potential to be leaders in their respective fields. The best example is the two current court advisors of the kingdom."

Both court advisors had very low levels, both below level ten, and had not learned any combat skills.

However, their status in the kingdom was higher than that of most high-level individuals.

This was because one of the court advisors possessed a Unique Skill that greatly increased the success rate of the Taming skill, enabling them to tame high-level monsters like dragons in batches, thus providing a large number of dragons as mounts for the kingdom's knight order and creating numerous dragon riders. The other advisor possessed a Unique Skill that could rapidly cultivate any plant, providing significant assurance for the kingdom's food supply and greatly shortening the growth period for many medicinal herbs used in crafting magic potions, making the Kingdom of Mithra a renowned agricultural and potion-producing powerhouse on the continent.

In view of this, the kingdom placed great importance on individuals with Unique Skills. The Adventurer's Guild also paid attention to individuals who might possess or awaken Unique Skills.

If it weren't for this, Shien's information would never have reached Ryley's desk.

"Although the possibility of this rookie having a Unique Skill is relatively low, it's still worth paying attention to if they possess any Special Skill. It would be even better if they are a genius who was forced to underdevelop due to some circumstances. In any case, a little observation wouldn't hurt."

This was Ryley's calculation.

Vivian, of course, didn't mind guiding rookies.

Rather, nowadays, there weren't many adventurers left who had the patience and goodwill to guide rookies besides Vivian.

Moreover, the fact that Shien underwent a magic test at the Adventurer's Guild today had already spread. If he were casually assigned to someone else's adventurer party, it was one thing whether others would accept him, but it was more likely that he would be treated as a useless person who couldn't even learn skills by the adventurers in the party, leading to neglect or even insults.

Considering this, assigning him to Vivian's adventurer party was also a good move.

It had to be said that Ryley was truly diligent and dedicated to make such thorough and proper arrangements for a rookie who had just joined today and whose ability to become a formal adventurer was yet to be determined.

Even if she did this considering the possibility of Shien possessing a Unique Skill, given Shien's situation, the probability of him having a Unique Skill was indeed very low; it was more likely that he was truly a good-for-nothing who couldn't even learn a single skill, and not worth such dedicated arrangements.

Ryley's ability to go this far was probably also due to her considerate nature.

However...

"It's been a long time since my adventurer party had a new male adventurer join. It's a bit troublesome,"

Vivian said with a troubled expression, causing Ryley to shrug.

There was no helping it; Vivian's adventurer party, besides being excellent, had one well-known focus.

That was, in this adventurer party, including Vivian, all members were beautiful girls with outstanding looks.

In this world, there were quite a few women who chose to become adventurers, but women adventurers who were both beautiful and skilled were also very rare.

If such people appeared at the Adventurer's Guild, they would become targets of contention for various parties, eventually causing various disputes and even some people's ill intentions and malice.

Understanding this clearly, Vivian intentionally cultivated this adventurer party, aiming to protect these female adventurers from various ill intentions and malice.

However, even so, there had been a few unpleasant incidents in the past.

As mentioned earlier, Vivian was kind and treated rookies kindly. Ryley also often entrusted promising rookies to Vivian for guidance. But having potential did not necessarily mean having humanity.

In the past, there were cases where individuals who joined Vivian's adventurer party developed ill intentions towards the girls in the party, which ultimately led to malicious incidents where they attacked these girls.

Therefore, it had been a long time since Vivian allowed a new member to join her adventurer party. Unless the candidate was female, Vivian would only offer some assistance within her capabilities.

This time, Ryley arranged for a male adventurer to join, and Vivian was truly hesitant.

Ryley, naturally, had not failed to consider this.

"With Tier around, if this rookie really doesn't know his place, then let her handle it like before – break his limbs, and then I'll revoke his adventurer status and expel him from the guild directly,"

Ryley instructed without hesitation.

"Alright then."

Vivian considered for a moment and finally nodded.

Thus, Shien's destination was decided.
