Adventurer of Many Professions-Chapter 157: Recruitment Letter!

Raymond sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.

Seeing all three of them looking at him with concern, he knew they wouldn't let this go easily.

"Alright, alright… I get it," he said, raising his hands in surrender. "But trust me, I wouldn't have done it if I thought it was truly dangerous. I knew what I was doing."

Still, Arya frowned. "But how could you be so sure it wouldn't turn into a disaster?"

Raymond hesitated for a brief moment before answering.

"Because I knew I could handle it." His gaze was calm and steady. "I fought those Red-Eyed Crows without even using a single skill. If I had really been in trouble, I still had plenty of tricks up my sleeve."

That revelation made Sylph, Lorene, and Arya pause.

Sylph raised an eyebrow. "Wait… you didn't use any skills?"

Raymond nodded. "None. Just my natural ability."

Lorene's eyes widened slightly. "That… makes sense. If you could do all of that without relying on your skills, then I guess it wasn't as dangerous as we thought."

Arya, however, was still processing what that meant.

She thought back to when she first watched him fight. At the time, she had assumed his effortless precision came from using some kind of passive skill. But now…

"If you've gotten this strong without skills," Arya murmured, "then just how strong have you actually become?"

Raymond didn't answer.

Because even he hadn't fully grasped the extent of his growth.

As they walked through the guild, Raymond reflected on how easily he had handled the mission.

There was no doubt that his strength had increased significantly. But was it just from training? Or was it the result of something more?

He couldn't shake the feeling that his rapid improvement was tied to two major developments:

• The creation of the magic device "Dark Moon" over the past half-month, which had forced him to refine his control and techniques.

• The progressive awakening of his multiple classes, each subtly enhancing his abilities beyond their individual strengths.

For now, he pushed those thoughts aside.

There would be plenty of time to test his limits.

For now, the mission was complete, and there were bigger things to prepare for;

Recruiting a warrior to join their team.

Even though Raymond hadn't unlocked any active skills from his awakened professions, the passive enhancements alone were astonishing. The sheer synergy between his ten awakened professions compensated for any gaps, covering weaknesses and reinforcing strengths in ways he hadn't even anticipated.

Each profession brought its own unique advantages, and together, they had elevated his strength to a completely new level.

Arya seemed to realize this as well. A small smile played at her lips, but she still crossed her arms and said, "We believe in you, Raymond, but you need to believe in us too. I shot and killed one Red-Eyed Crow, and Sylph's Explosion Magic wiped out five more. That only left one, and honestly? Even without your help, it wasn't that much of a threat."

Sylph nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! With Arya covering us with her bow and Lorene boosting us with Blessing of Courage, even if one got close, we could take it down with a single solid hit!"

Raymond sighed, too lazy to argue with them. "Fine, fine, I get it."

But then he shot a playful glare at Sylph. "You used to be so obedient. Ever since Arya joined the team, you've been getting stubborn..."

Then, turning to Arya, he sighed dramatically as he rubbed his temples. "And you! Stop contradicting me all the time..."

Arya blinked and touched the back of her head, feeling a little guilty. Now that he mentioned it, she had been questioning Raymond's decisions more often since she joined the team.

Before she awakened, she had rarely spoken up against him, trusting his judgment completely. But now? It felt like she had regained some of her own confidence.

And maybe that wasn't a bad thing.

Still, she glanced at Raymond, then softened her expression. "I understand..." she said, her voice surprisingly gentle.

Sylph's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Arya to surrender so easily.

"Wait; what? Just like that? You're suddenly all obedient now?" she asked, looking between Arya and Raymond in disbelief.

Raymond smirked but decided not to push the moment further. Instead, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, enough of that. Now that we've wrapped up our commission report, it's time to focus on our next priority, recruiting a new teammate."

Their playful banter immediately shifted into something more serious.

This had been the plan all along, finding a warrior to complete their team. For their future growth, having a dedicated front-liner was no longer an option, it was a necessity.

Sylph grinned. "Right! Recruiting a new teammate is our biggest task right now. Let's go downstairs and ask the guild staff for a recruitment letter."

There was a spark of excitement in her voice. As much as she enjoyed teasing Raymond, she took their team's safety very seriously. And this next recruit? Their job would be to protect them all.

"Let's go," Raymond agreed, leading the way.

Descending to the main floor of the Adventurer's Guild, they headed straight for the front desk.

A young receptionist stood behind the counter, her expression brightening the moment she saw them.

It was impossible not to recognize them.

Raymond and his party had become well-known names throughout Wittes Town, especially after their recent missions. Among adventurers, their dual-class captain, explosive magician, and talented new archer had sparked plenty of conversation.

And now? They were at the front desk, requesting something.

The receptionist's voice wavered slightly as she spoke, clearly trying to maintain professionalism.

"Ah Mr. Raymond! What can I do for you?"

Raymond gave a polite nod. "We need a recruitment letter."

The receptionist's eyes widened slightly.

"Oh! Of course. just a moment!"

She turned and swiftly pulled out a clean parchment from the drawer, carefully placing it in front of him.

"Here you go, Mr. Raymond. Would you like a pen as well?"

Raymond smiled. "That would be helpful. Thank you."

As the receptionist handed over the pen, she couldn't help but steal a curious glance at the paper in his hands.

Raymond and his team were recruiting.

That meant one thing, they were growing again.

Excitement sparked through her, but she quickly masked it with a professional nod. "You can fill it out here if you'd like."

As Raymond took the pen and prepared to write, the murmurs around the guild hall began.

The moment Raymond's team stepped up to the front desk, adventurers started paying attention.

A group at a nearby table leaned in.

"Hey… is that Raymond and the 'Explosion Magician' Sylph?"

"Yeah, it's them!"

Another adventurer narrowed his eyes. "They just asked for a document from the receptionist. Can anyone see what it is?"

A couple of hunters and archers, blessed with sharp eyesight, focused their gaze on the parchment in Raymond's hands.

And then, someone finally made it out.

"It says… Recruitment Letter."

A brief silence.

Then, a sudden wave of whispers.

"Wait, are they recruiting?!"

"No way! They're actually adding someone to their team?"

"Who do you think they're looking for?"

"They must be after a warrior. Their team's only weakness is their lack of a dedicated front-liner."

The realization sent a ripple through the guild hall.

Raymond and his team were already on the fast track to success. Anyone joining them now would be securing a golden opportunity.

And so, as Raymond steadily filled out the recruitment notice, more and more adventurers turned their attention toward him,

Each one wondering who would be the next warrior to join his ranks.

"It's a recruitment letter!" shouted an archer, his sharp eyes catching the bold title on the parchment in Raymond's hands.

"What?! A recruitment letter?!"
