A minute later—
"Guildmaster, i've wrote the quest." Theresa came back to where Varnir was standing, she then handed the quest paper in her hand to him.
The quest was exactly as he had said before, an investigation for the possible orc dungeon, with the reward being 30 Gold coins for clearing the dungeon.
"Hmm, the reward's are a bit low, why is that?" Varnir asked Theresa.
"That's because you're going with them, so the rewards have been significantly reduced because you'll be the one that did most of the work in the end." Theresa replied calmly.
"–Haha, you're not wrong.. Good work, you can go back to your spot." Varnir said, his hand gestured to shoo Theresa away so that she could go back to work.
"Understood." Theresa nodded before turning back and walking away.
"Mhm, this should caught some of their attention." Varnir whispered to himself, he then walked forward and revealed his presence to all of the adventurer in the building.
Step!
Step!
"He- hey.. Isn't that.." One of the adventurer said, he seems to have noticed Varnir.
"That's the guildmaster!" Another one shouted, and from that shout, everyone in the guild soon shifted their attention towards Varnir, they looked in curiosity as they saw the mysterious paper that Varnir was holding in his hand.
"Is he about to give a quest!?" An adventurer guessed.
"A quest?.. Could it be related to the abnormal amount of orc slaying quest!?" The adventurer's friend added while rubbing his chin.
Varnir kept his pace steady, his step was loud enough to echo throughout the building and when he finally stopped infront of the quest board, he turned to the side, facing all of the adventurers that previously made way for him and was staring with eagerness.
Varnir took a deep breath, and with a loud shout, he then announced the quest that he made.
"SPECIAL QUEST! Investigating and Searching the location of a possible orc dungeon! Reward is 30 gold coins! Minimum requirement to accept this quest is being a C-Rank! We needed 4 more people! You don't have to be in a party to join!" He said.
As soon as Varnir was done with his speech, all of the adventurers instantly whispered to each other, the entire guild hall was filled with the sound if whispering, it seems like they're all discussing about whether they want to join or not.
And not even 5 seconds later, Varnir saw a hand being raised among the crowds.
"I'll go." A voice was heard, it came from a man in between two tall adventurers, his hand barely passed their head as he raised it high into the air.
"Introduce yourself." Varnir said, it seems like he doesn't fully trust anyone until they introduce themselves.
"Frank Tailon, C-Rank Swordman." The man said.
"Alright, you're in." Varnir didn't waste a single second before accepting the man into the quest, he then looked away from Frank and searched for another hand among the countless faces.
Seeing as how easy it was to be accepted, many adventurers soon quickly raised their hand at the same time, they who claimed to be a C or even B rank shouted at Varnir, begging for his attention.
"MY NAME IS–
"IM A C-RANK MAGE!"
"C-RANK TANK HERE!"
"IM A B-RANK!"
Various screams was heard, each of them being an introduction of themselves, and Varnir who heard the echoing shout across his ears then decided to just pick the strongest among them all.
.
.
In the end, the party was full, with its member being Varnir himself, 2 B-Ranks, and 2 C-Ranks. None of the people that was accepted into the party knew each other, they actually had their own party, but for this quest, they had to leave them temporarily, now the 4 people excluding Varnir have to get along as they will fight together in an undiscovered dungeon.
"Alright, thank you everyone.. Then, we will depart as soon as possible, and what i mean by that is- Right now." Varnir said.
"Huh?.. HUUUUHHH!!??" One of the C-Rank adventurer who was accepted suddenly screamed and demanded an explanation. "Guildmaster! C- can we atleast prepare!? I don't have any healing potion and my armor are also needed to be repaired!"
"Hah? Why do i have to care about that? If you're not in your best condition then you shouldn't have entered this party– What? You want to get kicked out? You'll lose 30 golds you know." Varnir responded with a smug and mockery.
"Urgh!.." The C-Rank adventurer, whose name was Jose, couldn't fight back against the Guildmaster Varnir, since he didn't want to lose the 30 gold coins reward, he reluctantly fell into silence as he doesn't have anything to say anymore. "I- I'll go."
"Good, let's go." Varnir instructed everyone in his party to follow him, but instead of following, the people in his party felt confused.
"Umm.. Guildmaster, are you coming with us!?" One of the B-Rank, named Zahir, asked Varnir with a bit of uncertainty.
"Hm? Of course i'll go, didn't i told you?" Varnir replied calmly.
"Eh!?" His party and all of the other adventurers in the building said the same phrase, their face was dumbfounded as they then screamed together.
"G- THE GUILDMASTER IS COMING!? I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS!" An adventurer complained and pointed his finger towards Varnir.
"WHAATT!! IF I KNEW THE GUILDMASTER WOULD GO, I WOULD'VE ENTERED IMMEDIATELY!" Another adventurer added to the commotion.
"H- HEY! SERIOUSLY!? ISN'T THIS JUST GONNA BE A FREE 30 GOLDS FOR THOSE PEOPLE!?" An adventurer with a magic staff looked at the 4 people that were accepted into Varnir's party.
"IM SO GLAD JOSE WENT IN! JOSEE!! DON'T FORGET TO SPLIT THAT REWARD TO US YOU BASTARD!"
"FRANK!! IF YOU DIE I'LL PERSONALLY KILL YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE!! YOU BETTER COME BACK ALIVE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"
Whilst everyone was screaming and shouting at the 4 adventurers that were in Varnir's party, a man who looked to be 24 or even younger, was confused instead of angered, he doesn't have any idea why being in the guildmaster's party was such a big deal, so he asked the adventurer beside him.
"Hey, What's happening here?" The man said.
"Huh? You don't know!? The Guildmaster, Varnir la Yurthen, is the only A-Rank adventurer in this town, and he's also a hero to many people, his contribution to Beakwood was undoubtely massive, and if he himself went into a fight, then its basically a guaranteed win.. That's why we're jealous of that 4 people who got accepted, we all know that Varnir would just be the one that did most of the work while they only cleaned what's left of it.. It's a free ticket of receiveing 30 golds.." The adventurer explained.
"But that's weird, you look young, but you don't know about Varnir, where did you come from?" The adventurer now asked the man.
"Im from Direwell, had a quest of escorting someone to this town, and i arrived a few minutes ago, i thought i'd meet someone here, but it seems like she's not here." The man said.
"I see, Direwell huh, im not too fond of that place, but you seems strong, what's your name?" The adventurer asked again, wanting to know the man better.
"...Gauss".

1 hour later, inside the Orc Dungeon Cave—
Syla and Fedhr was still walking through the cave, with the trail of orc corpses following them behind, the two of them traveled while turning at multiple crossroads.
The atmosphere of the cave was damp, almost like it was wet, and the sound of water droplets falling was even more frequent than the one at the cave entrance.
"How long we've been walking.. I can't tell.." Syla said.
"Another crossroads.." Fedhr pointed his finger towards the path infront.
"Ah damnit.. This place is feels endless.." Syla scoffed.
"Go right." Fedhr suggested to go to the right direction, where the road looked darker and damper than the one on the left.
"Sure.." Syla accepted the suggestion pretty easily, it was mostly due to the fact that she had crossed multiple paths that she ended not caring about which path they should take.
"The more moss we see, the closer we are to the core.." Fedhr suddenly uttered, his words made Syla's jaw drop.
"R- Really?.." Syla said in bewilderment.
Grakh!
Grukh!!
Just when they thought they were safe, a group of orcs soon came from the dark path infront of them, they all looked hungry, and enraged, their eyes glowed with red as their mouth drooled nonstop, dropping their saliva to the ground below.
"Haahh, let's just quickly get to the boss room already.." Syla said, she yawned at the sight of more orcs.
Swoosh!
Boom!
Unlike what she thought an hour ago, Syla now didn't care whether she should shoot her fireball or not, previously she feared that the cave might crumble when met with a fireball explosion that has the same explosive power as a grenade on earth, but after walking for so long, she eventually just decided to try. And to her surprise, the fireball did nothing to the cave when she tried it, that's when Syla realized that she could just control the size of the fireball so that its explosive power wouldn't destroy the cave structure.
"Maybe i shouldn't use fireball.. It became so boring now.." She said.
"I agree." Fedhr replied with his usual blank face, he looked so eager to use his large sword, but now that Syla was able to kill the orcs using just her fireball, Fedhr's hand began to feel itchy.
