Adventurer of Many Professions-Chapter 162: Reaction!

"Hey, does anyone know what's written on the recruitment notice Raymond's holding?" an impatient adventurer called out, trying to get a glimpse of the paper clutched tightly in Raymond's hand. His voice carried a note of frustration.

The 'archer' teammate beside him squinted in the direction of Raymond, but shook his head with a sigh. "No, I can't see it clearly. He's swinging his arms around too much as he walks, it's all a blur!"

"It's fine, we'll see it soon enough once Raymond and the others post it," another adventurer chimed in, eager to know the details.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Let's hurry up! We can't miss it or we won't even get a chance to squeeze in and read it!"

With a renewed burst of energy, the group of adventurers began to swarm behind Raymond and his team like curious followers. They kept a respectful distance, making sure not to disturb the group, but their excitement was palpable.

As Raymond and the others quickly exited the Adventurer's Guild, the crowd remained hot on their heels, eager to catch a glimpse of the coveted recruitment notice. The four of them made their way toward the Recruitment Column outside the guild.

The Recruitment Column was already brimming with other posted notices, but it was large enough that there was still room for Raymond's. However, the prime spots, the ones where adventurers could easily see and read the details, had already been claimed, and only the less conspicuous corners remained available.

Raymond wasn't too concerned; as long as the notice was up, it would do. He approached a slightly hidden corner and was about to stick the "recruitment letter" there when, out of nowhere, an adventurer dashed up and swiftly ripped down another recruitment notice that had been posted in a prime spot.

"Ugh, I've been trying to recruit for days but couldn't find anyone. I'm giving up on this one," the adventurer said dramatically, shaking his head in mock despair.

Arya and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was clear the adventurer was intentionally clearing the spot for Raymond and his team.

Raymond chuckled as well, giving the adventurer a grateful nod. The adventurer, seeing Raymond acknowledge him, turned red with excitement, but Raymond quickly refocused, placing their recruitment letter on the freshly vacated spot.

"Thanks again," Raymond said with a quick smile before turning to his team. "Alright, let's head to a tavern and grab something to eat."

"Sounds good!" Sylph responded, already looking forward to the meal. After all, the reward for their recent commission hadn't been split yet.

Without wasting any more time, the group set off toward a nearby tavern. As they walked away, the group of adventurers who had been trailing them wasted no time in rushing forward to the newly posted recruitment letter.

"Hurry, hurry! Let's see what Raymond and his team are recruiting for, and what the requirements are!" one adventurer shouted eagerly.

"Hold up! Let me through!" another yelled, trying to push through the throngs of people to get a better view.

For a moment, the Recruitment Column was a chaotic sea of adventurers, all trying to squeeze in to read the notice. Some who couldn't get close enough shouted out to those in front of them, "Hey! Someone, please read it out loud for us! We can't even see anything!"

"Yeah, come on, help us out!" a voice called from the back. "What are the requirements? Who's recruiting?"

It didn't take long for the murmurs and jostling to subside as the adventurers who managed to get to the front finally began to see the contents of the letter.

"Ah, got it! It's a warrior they're recruiting!" one excited adventurer announced.

"Warrior?! I thought they were looking for a swordsman or an assassin!"

"Yeah, I was just about to say that! I knew it wasn't going to be any of those, warrior makes more sense, especially since Raymond's a dual-class adventurer. He's a warrior and a fighter, right? So, even though he's not mastered the 'Flowing Like Water' technique, his flexibility and agility more than make up for it. He's more than just your average warrior!"

"Okay, okay, but what are the actual requirements? How do we qualify?" another adventurer urged, growing impatient.

"The first requirement is... magic affinity must be at least 2," the warrior at the front read aloud.

At that moment, the crowd fell silent. Then came the collective gasp.

"What?! Magic affinity of 2 or higher?!"

The disbelief was almost tangible as adventurers processed the information. Magic affinity, something that not many possessed in abundance, was a crucial factor in qualifying for certain professions. For Raymond's team to demand a minimum of 2 was an eye-popping revelation.

"How can they possibly ask for a magic affinity that high?" one adventurer whispered, still trying to wrap their mind around the figure.

More and more adventurers began to gather around the column, discussing in hushed tones, some making their way to the front to get a glimpse of the notice for themselves. It was clear that Raymond's recruitment letter had already stirred up a whirlwind of excitement and speculation.

The rest of the requirements, and more details of the team's expectations, were soon to be revealed, one way or another, this was no longer just a simple recruitment notice. It was a beacon that had drawn the attention of the entire guild.

And now, it seemed everyone who could meet the qualifications would be fighting for a chance to join.

"Magic Affinity must be at least 2? That's way too high of a requirement!" one adventurer exclaimed, disbelief clear in their voice.

"Yeah! Hardly anyone has a Magic Affinity higher than 1! The idea of reaching 2 is almost unthinkable!" another added, shaking their head.

"But wait," a third adventurer chimed in, "don't forget, nobody on Raymond's team has a Magic Affinity lower than 2! The lowest is Lorene, the priest, hers is 2.4!"

"That's true," someone agreed, their tone hesitant. "But Raymond's Magic Affinity still seems to be a mystery, right? We don't know what it is for sure. Maybe he's got the lowest of all!"

This sparked a bit of uncertainty among the crowd. After all, Raymond hadn't touched the magic crystal ball this morning to reveal his Magic Affinity, leading many to speculate that it was too low and he was avoiding it to protect his image.

Just as the murmur of doubt spread, a voice suddenly broke through the conversation.

"Raymond's Magic Affinity is 3.8!"

A shocked silence fell over the crowd, and several adventurers turned toward the speaker.

"What? 3.8? That's... that's ridiculously high! How do you know that?"

"Three point eight? That's unbelievable!" another adventurer exclaimed. "I knew he was a dual-class adventurer, but 3.8? That's almost unheard of! But where did this information come from?"

The adventurer who had spoken earlier grinned. "It's written right here, in the recruitment book."

"What? It's actually written on the recruitment letter?" one adventurer asked, incredulous.

"Wow, this morning, Raymond was so secretive about it, and now they've just come out and said it." Another adventurer voiced the growing realization. "I guess they decided to make it public to help attract the warriors they need for their team."

"That makes sense," one person murmured. "Otherwise, if Raymond didn't reveal it, people would have definitely thought his Magic Affinity was too low, and that's why he wouldn't make it public."

The conversation buzzed with excitement and speculation, but soon enough, a few skeptics began to voice their doubts.

"Even though it's written in the recruitment book, we've never actually seen it ourselves. How do we know it's true? What if it's a trick? Maybe they wrote a fake number just to lure people in!"

"Yeah, there's no lie detector on this. Even if we ask him about it during the interview, how can we know if he's telling the truth?"

"Don't be ridiculous!" an adventurer shouted back. "You're interviewing Raymond, one of the most famous adventurers in town. If you really think he's lying about his Magic Affinity, just take him to the guild hall and use the magic crystal ball! You'll find out the truth right there!"

"Exactly!" another adventurer said, "The magic crystal ball isn't just a decoration, it's a tool. No one would let someone slip by with false claims when they can check it in front of the guild!"

The crowd was abuzz, arguing and debating the truth of Raymond's Magic Affinity. But as the discussions became louder, one adventurer at the front of the crowd suddenly raised his voice, cutting through the noise.

"Enough, enough! Stop arguing!" he shouted. "I've got the details right here, Raymond and his team are holding their interview in Interview Room 4 on the third floor of the Adventurer's Guild!"

At these words, the crowd fell silent once more, eyes widening.

"What? The third floor? Interview Room 4? But that room is only available to Silver-level teams!"

"Yeah!" another adventurer exclaimed, "Our team tried to use it before, but the front desk turned us down! They said you have to be at least Silver-level to even apply for it!"

A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd. If Raymond's team was indeed using this prestigious room, it could only mean one thing.

"So... is this some kind of special exception for Raymond and his team?" an adventurer asked, awe creeping into his voice.

"It must be," another adventurer replied. "Think about it, they've shown incredible potential. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit Gold-level soon, and becoming Platinum-level is almost a given at this point!"

"Yeah, remember how quickly Raymond leveled up? It only took him a month to reach Black Iron! And if it weren't for the delay caused by the Black Wind Group, he'd probably be Bronze-level by now!"

The crowd began to buzz with excitement and admiration. Word of Raymond's rapid rise through the ranks was spreading, and people were starting to realize the sheer potential of his team.

"That's incredible!" someone said, shaking their head in disbelief. "Raymond's team is going places."

At that moment, it was clear: the recruitment letter wasn't just a call for new teammates. It was a declaration of Raymond's growing power, and everyone in the guild now understood that joining his team was no longer just an opportunity, it was a ticket to greatness.
