My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Monday!

Here is the chapter, enjoy.

ED: Ignite

Akira made use of his experience of working all kinds of part time jobs in order to earn living expenses, and was able to become a yellow-ranked adventurer without any problems.

He only completed five odd job commissions, but he headed straight towards the dungeon.

There was a reason why he was in a hurry.

He had an extremely bad premonition that somethings going to happen.

Hes had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen ever since he arrived at this continent, but a massive alarm the likes of which he had never experienced before was going off in his head today.

And, the closer he got to the dungeon, the more intense the alarm.

It might be better to get it over with quickly and then get away from here.

Luckily, Kurous house, the place that Amelia and Yorus been visiting every day, was quite a distance away from the dungeon.

The probability of Amelia and the others getting caught up in it was low, but even so, Akira wanted to take Amelia away from this continent.

Akira himself did not notice it, but perhaps it was the threat detection skill that had been warning him about this matter the entire time.

That Amelia, will end up having to use Resurrection Magic again.

shit.

When Akira arrived at the dungeon, part of the dungeon was already covered in a thick fog.

And, the guild staff members were in a panic, the growls and roars of beast could be heard from the opposite side of barricaded dungeon.

The beastmen who were better at sensing danger than humans because they were related to beasts were not here in this area. Those who were here were human guild staff members, laborers who were working away from home, and adventurers who came for the dungeon.

Oi! Run away from here!!

The beastmen adventurers who had much higher ranks than Akira were leading civilians to take refuge and had shouted in a hurry.

Since the guild staff members also ran away after noticing that, it was now useless to have the blockade around the dungeon.

One couldnt blame the guild staff.

People need to take care of themselves.

Much less the civilians who did not have an ounce of combat ability.

Besides, even if it was completely blocked off, the monsters that are coming up from the lower levels would definitely destroy it. In a sense, it could be said that they made the right decision.

Oi! You too, get away from here! Cant you sense it!? Unless we form a raid, we wont be able to defeat the monsters that are coming!!!

When I looked over towards the large amount of presences that were gradually approaching the dungeon entrance, a good-natured beastman caught hold of me arm and pulled me away.

After they had taken refuge with the other adventurers, Akira and this adventurer were the only ones left standing near the dungeon entrance.

The dog tag that hung around his neck was red.

It was one rank higher than my yellow rank.

Aah. But, how are we going to deal with this?

He assumed that the adventurer aimlessly pulling him somewhere.

When Akira tried to shake him off, the red-ranked adventurer broke into a run.

He was holding onto Akiras hand, so Akira started running as well.

For now, were going to the guild and confirming the situation. Adventurers from the gold to yellow ranks will definitely be organized into the subjugation team, so if were late, well be left out and well die!

Youre awfully used to that, when I said that, he responded with, You too.

Certainly, Akira gave a wry smile.

When one had ran the dungeons for a long time, one may grow accustomed to the feeling of being driven into a corner or being in a tough spot.

Many adventurers above the yellow rank had already gathered in front of the Adventurer Guild.

Akira communicated the current situation to Yoru through telepathy.

I understand. Master-dono, hold them back as best you can over there. We will do our best to lead the civilians to a safe place and avoid any injuries.

Aah, if you die, I will as well. Be careful.

fuu. Who do you think I am?

That was a foolish thing to say. Lets stay in touch. Ill leave Amelia to you.

As soon as I cut off the telepathy, the guildmaster Linga appeared in a somewhat elevated place.

Theres no need for an introduction, for now, form a pair with someone close to you. That person, will be your partner who you will trust your life with. If you partnered up with someone weak, then that just means you ran out of luck.

The things he said were absurd and normally, Akira wouldve said, Theres no way I can entrust my life with a fellow I dont know!, but this time, he couldnt say such a thing.

Truthfully, there was no obligation for the human Akira to join the subjugation team, but if hes lucky, he could rank up, and above all else, Amelia was nearby.

Amelia was, more or less, a silver-ranked adventurer, and Yoru was there as well, so he didnt think that they would be killed, but even so, men wanted to protect the fairer sex.

Oi, do you wanna partner with me?

Aah, please take care of me.

The one who suggested that to Akira was the the red-ranked adventurer who had dragged Akira over here just now.

Im Sena. I probably dont look like it, but Im the younger brother of Linga, the guildmaster over there.

I really couldnt tell.

Linga was a leopard beastman while Sena was a wolf beastman.

Im Akira.

I kept my self-introduction simple.

If he was Lingas younger brother, then that was all the more reason to not let my guard down.

Seems like Im stuck with a troublesome person..well, he was the one who approached me first anyway.

I know this is sudden, but are you a vanguard? Or a rear guard?

His bushy tail could be seen waving around.

Sena looked me up and down and said this.

Im a vanguard. My occupation is an assassin.

Then, we make a perfect pair. Im a rear guard, a flame magician.

I gave the smiling Sena a curt nod before observing the area.

It seems everyone knew each other with the exception of a few people who were introducing themselves.

Then, you will move in pairs, and when something unusual happens, let the other parties know. I dont mind if those who are not confident in their skills join other groups. I have dispatched those who are quick on their feet to neighboring towns and the royal capital. Even so, we are the only ones who can protect this town. We will not allow the demons to defile our town!!!!!

Oooooooooooh!!!!

As everyones morale went up, I was the only one who had a wry look on my face.

demons?

Why did you say, that it was demons?

From the gossip that Ive picked every now and then, I knew that the phenomenon of the sky turning dark resembled the incident where Yoru brought about Adoreas Nightmare from around a hundred years ago.

However, I did not hear that demons would be here.

I did not hear any such thing from Yoru either.

Its not like everything I know comes from Yoru.

Its just that, I heard Yoru had reaped many beastmen lives on the orders of the demon king-sama.

Even so, Yorus involved, so if the demons were at the forefront, then he wouldve told me.

A hundred years ago, the one who lead the monsters was most likely the monster Yoru.

If that was the case, then wouldnt it be obvious that an intelligent monster would be leading them this time as well?

If youre making speculations, then it would be all the more improbable.

Even if you were the guildmaster, you yourself should know just how much influence those words have

So that meant that, he was confident in what he said?

Oi, you go into a daze a lot. Are we partnering with other people?

Sena exasperatedly turned towards Akira who was lost in thought.

Not thinking too deeply into it, Akira shook his head.

I dont know how strong you actually are, but its impossible to for me who has been working solo all this time to work with someone else, and even if theres more people, we wouldnt work well together.

Sena nodded, and he bowed his head apologetically to the two people who came to sound out their group when Akira had been pondering over something.

Akira, Sena. you two will be backing up the red, silver-ranked groups.

Just as we were about to move out, Linga came over to say this.

Eh, is that ok? Sending a yellow rank into the front lines.

Sena looked at me with worry.

This might have been the first time that someone was concerned about my abilities.

So far, I had only shown half of my strength, since not saying anything meant that there wouldnt be any complaints.

Aah, this guys no problem. When push comes to shove, leave him behind and escape.

Gotit.

The two brothers were smiling.

I take back what I said.

They were very similar.
