Hey, did you see the news yesterday!?
That thing about the 【Muscle Warriors】!
671. Anonymous, 2nd Year Magician Student
The first-year ones, right?
Yeah, that was old news already.
672. Anonymous, 2nd Year Adventurer Student
Sure, it was surprising enough when five 【Muscle Warriors】 formed a party,
but now they’ve gone and created an all-first-year 【Muscle Warrior】 guild.
That news spread like wildfire in an instant.
673. Anonymous, 3rd Year Warrior Student
W-Wait, really? I didn’t know that!?
674. Anonymous, 2nd Year Priest Student
So what?
You just didn’t watch the news, dude.
675. Anonymous, 2nd Year Adventurer Student
By the way, any updates on that?
676. Anonymous, 3rd Year Support Student
Yep. Those five 【Muscle Warriors】 apparently turned down an offer from B-rank guild <Muscles Are Strongest>,
and decided to form their own guild instead.
A bunch of folks rushed to <The Musclers> yesterday to get the inside scoop.
The leader’s a bit intense, but once you talk to him, he’s a reasonable guy. He answered everything properly.
…Though a few people came back traumatized.

Ah, the infamous muscle-style hospitality…

Muscle-style hospitality!?

Let’s not go there.
That story’s forbidden (shivers)

Wait—were you the recipient of that hospitality!?

No, I didn’t get any… exactly…

Then why are you shaking!?
684. Anonymous, 2nd Year Magician Student
Hey, Support-senpai.
Do you think this whole thing is them trying to rival <Eden>?
685. Anonymous, 3rd Year Support Student
Definitely a big part of it.
<Eden> is that unprecedented guild packed with powerful job holders like the 【Hero】 and 【Saint】.
Everyone assumed they had no competition.
But now, these five first-year 【Muscle Warriors】 formed their dream guild, <The Machos>, and stepped up to the plate.
686. Anonymous, 2nd Year Magician Student
That name is definitely a jab at <The Musclers>.
687. Anonymous, 2nd Year Priest Student
Honestly, if it isn’t, I wanna peek inside their muscle-brained heads.
688. Anonymous, 3rd Year Support Student
By the way, <The Musclers> is just a nickname.
Their official guild name is <Muscles Are Strongest>.
Everyone just calls them <The Musclers> because it’s easier to say.
689. Anonymous, 2nd Year Magician Student
What a confusing name choice…
690. Anonymous, 3rd Year Support Student
Regardless of the name, they’re a guild to keep an eye on.
For now, let’s just watch how things play out.

Hey, listen up!
Some crazy news just came in!
790. Anonymous, 2nd Year Axeman Student
What? What kind of news this time?
There’s nothing on the student terminal yet.
791. Anonymous, 3rd Year Trap Expert Student
Is it about a girl!?
792. Anonymous, 3rd Year Investigator Student
As if I’d bring you girl gossip.
I just got word from the <Rescue Committee>.
The first-year 【Muscle Warriors】 dream guild,
<The Machos>, was wiped out in a Beginner-mid tier dungeon!
793. Anonymous, 2nd Year Priest Student
What!? Wiped out!?
794. Anonymous, 2nd Year Adventurer Student
Hold up, hold up, hold up! You serious!?
You’re saying that dream guild got beat!?
795. Anonymous, 3rd Year Investigator Student
The <Rescue Committee> is on its way now.
According to the report from 【The Machos】, "all their muscles are unharmed."
796. Anonymous, 3rd Year Warrior Student
"All their muscles are unharmed”… what a statement.
I can’t even tell if they won or lost.
797. Anonymous, 2nd Year Adventurer Student
So they’re just waiting for rescue then.
Well, good thing everyone’s okay.
They’re still first-years, right? Haven’t even taken classes yet.
798. Anonymous, 3rd Year Pharmacist Student
They were probably prepped by the teacher who accompanied them in the <Beginner Dungeon>.
Taking monster hits without blessings is dangerous. They should’ve been properly taught that.
799. Anonymous, 3rd Year Investigator Student
True. And remember, first-years have been living without job blessings up till now.
Unlike us, who’ve gotten totally used to relying on them, I bet they’ve got a stronger sense of danger.
800. Anonymous, 2nd Year Axeman Student
Okay, got it.
But man, they already made it to a Beginner-mid tier dungeon (Shotchu)?
This year’s first-years are really fast movers.
801. Anonymous, 2nd Year Priest Student
Well, <The Machos> just formed their guild yesterday.
One of the requirements to start a guild is for the leader to clear a Beginner-mid tier dungeon.
So that means they cleared it yesterday.
But today they got wiped…? They should’ve been strong enough. What beat them?
802. Anonymous, 3rd Year Investigator Student
It was <Debubu>.
803. Anonymous, 2nd Year Priest Student
!? That muscle-killer!?
804. Anonymous, 2nd Year Adventurer Student
Ah! That’s right! <Debubu> hangs out in those Beginner-mid tier (Shotchu) dungeons!
That fat menace gave me hell too!
805. Anonymous, 2nd Year Magician Student
Yeah, no way muscle types can handle <Debubu>.
He’s called the Muscle Killer for a reason.
Who would've thought the dream team would hit such a wall...
806. Anonymous, 1st Year Unawakened Student
Um, sorry to interrupt, senpai!
I’ve been wondering—
Is it really okay to get wiped out!?
You mentioned something about rescue, but…
807. Anonymous, 3rd Year Support Student
Allow me to explain.
808. Anonymous, 3rd Year Investigator Student
There he goes. I’ll leave it to you.
809. Anonymous, 3rd Year Support Student
Right.
This is something you’ll also learn in the <Beginner Dungeon>,
but once you get a job, one of the blessings you receive is an HP barrier.
Thanks to that, we can actually fight monsters.
When that HP hits zero, we call it "incapacitated.”
Once you’re incapacitated, monsters completely lose interest in you—
So if you can be moved to a safe area away from monsters, you’ll be fine.
However, escaping the dungeon on your own gets tough.
That’s why your student handbook has an <Emergency Report> function,
which alerts the <Rescue Committee> stationed on the surface to come save you.
810. Anonymous, 1st Year Unawakened Student
Oh, I see! Thanks so much for the detailed explanation!
811. Anonymous, 3rd Year Support Student
You're welcome. One more thing—
While incapacitated, never attack a monster. It’s the biggest taboo.
812. Anonymous, 2nd Year Priest Student
Just imagine: you're incapacitated, no blessings, and you try to pick a fight.
The monster's gonna be like, "Weren’t you just knocked out!? Why are you attacking!?”
That kind of aggro spike is game over.
Never do it, got it?
813. Anonymous, 1st Year Unawakened Student
Y-Yes! Thanks again, seriously!

Aww man, he stole the spotlight at the very end.

Sorry to cut into the convo,

Anyway, we have to find out! Let’s confirm if this tip is real!

It’s already too late!? 【Hero】 already has his own guild!

Looks like a bunch of people rushed in after Investigator-senpai’s post.
Still, where there’s a crowd, 【Hero】 is bound to be nearby. Found him!
169. Anonymous, 3rd Year Pharmacist Student
Who’s that catgirl next to him?
She looks like a first-year, but I’ve never seen her before.
170. Anonymous, 3rd Year Investigator Student
According to my investigation, she’s a hopeful applicant for 【Hero】’s guild, <Eden>.
Apparently, she approached 【Hero】-kun herself, not the other way around.
171. Anonymous, 2nd Year Alchemist Student
Wait, what!? What’s going on here!? What about the agreement!?
172. Anonymous, 3rd Year Pharmacist Student
Calm down, Alchemy-chan. That agreement was something we upperclassmen decided on.
That girl’s a first-year.
173. Anonymous, 2nd Year Alchemist Student
Even if she’s a first-year, there’s no way the Princess Guards would let her join a guild that the princess is part of!
Don’t tell me… she actually passed their strict screening!?

We must admit… we were caught off guard.

Never expected such a lucky– I mean, such a *romcom-style* crash to happen in real life.
It was completely out of left field.
176. Anonymous, Princess Guard #3
Yeah, if it were the usual recruitment type, we could’ve blocked it,
But there was no way to prevent this one.
And we can’t just interfere—we’re meant to work from the shadows.
177. Anonymous, Princess Guard (Extremist)
Normally, anyone foolish enough to aim for the guild where Her Highness resides would be eliminated by force or reasoned with and released by us.
But if this is truly Her Highness’s will, then we will simply watch over.
Our goal is to ensure she enjoys a peaceful, pain-free school life.
Crushing the guild <Eden> was never the point.
178. Anonymous, Princess Guard #3
Besides, we do need more members if the guild wants to make progress.
It’s not like we’re trying to completely lock it down.
We just really like seeing the princess smile, that’s all.

Grnnnghhh...

Ah, 【Hero】-kun and the catgirl just went into <Marvelous>.
I love their curry, honestly.
