The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Ah—" Yu Jin braced himself on the ground with both feet and roared, the huge sound wave shaking the earth around him.

The Mountain Demon Roars – Roars into the distance, sending nearby enemies flying and creating a shockwave. After activation, it unleashes a powerful attack, striking fiercely.

“Wait…” Serius tried to say something, but his voice was quickly drowned out—Ember’s voice was too loud.

Then he saw Ember raise the massive rock hammer above his head, and a tremendous force began to accumulate within him.

"Boom!!!" A huge sound came from the embers, the earth trembled, and dust flew up.

After a long while, everyone saw a black shadow jumping out from the dust and smoke, and Yu Jin ran out from it.

"What the hell!" Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sight before them.

The throbbing black shadow was not Ember, but the Crushing Giant's Hammer! Ember was holding the hammer in one hand, and the giant hammer swayed with the movement of his arm. He also held a piece of white paper in his other hand.

"President, do you think I passed?" Ember handed the note to Serius, his face full of anticipation.

Serius took the note with a trembling hand. He looked at it and saw that it was the same note he had put inside the gate of the ruins.

He glanced at the embers holding the Giant Crusher, which was larger than a thug, in one hand, and then at the ruins in the distance.

He announced loudly, "Very... very good, newcomer, you've passed the second test!"

"Really... unpredictable." Diluc twitched his lips; Ember always surprised him.

"Wow! Ember is so strong!" Amber looked at the huge crater in the ground and wondered how many Earl Bunny would it take to blast it out.

"Alright, now we've finally reached the last item! Takeoff test, let's begin!" Serius quickly recovered.

The title of branch president of the Adventurers' Guild is well-deserved!

The last test is the simplest of the three, much easier than getting a pilot's license!

"Come on, newbie! As long as you can fly down this slope successfully, you will officially become an adventurer!" Serius pointed to a high slope and said with great enthusiasm.

Another newcomer is about to become an adventurer! It's so exciting!

To everyone's surprise, Yu Jin's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. Indeed, becoming an adventurer was not so simple. It seemed that the last test was the real challenge.

"Hey, it seems like Brother Ember doesn't have the Wings of Wind," Galuro whispered to Cole.

"Uh, I don't remember." Cole scratched his head; Ember indeed didn't have Windwings.

"What? He doesn't have the Wings of Wind?" Serius overheard their whispered conversation and was somewhat incredulous.

He looked at the embers standing against the wind in the distance, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.

As Yu Jin stood on the high slope, he felt a gentle breeze and made a decision: was that the only option left?

He took out a half-blade, raised it above his head, and began to spin it continuously.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" The guan dao sliced ​​through the air, and the enormous lift carried Yu Jin away from the ground, sending him flying into the sky.

Hidden Technique - Spiral Ascension!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Ember spun the Guan Dao above his head, slowly flying to Serius's side with a gust of wind.

The powerful winds bent the trees and flattened the grass.

"President, did I pass?" Yu Jin stopped rotating his arm.

Serius rubbed his bloodshot eyes—sparks from the rapid spinning of Ember's hands had gotten into them.

He shouted, "Newcomer, celebrate! You have now officially become an adventurer!"

"Great!"

Chapter 26 The Grand Disciplinary Officer, Seno Arrives

2023-08-28

"I'm back," Yu Jin called out weakly into the house.

Life after becoming an adventurer was somewhat different from what he had imagined. He originally thought there would be powerful monsters and endless conspiracies waiting for him to eliminate one by one, but unexpectedly, he had only been taking on some odd jobs in the past few days.

The mighty King of Cinder, the consort of Calya (?), and the King of Elden is actually looking for someone else's cat!

While these are interesting, they still fall short of the adventure that Ember envisioned.

But on second thought, this is normal. Powerful and even ordinary monsters are usually dealt with by the Knights of Favonius beforehand, and peaceful Mondstadt rarely has any conspiracies.

What's left for the Adventurers' Guild are just trivial matters. In fact, in everyone's mind, apart from those famous and renowned adventurers, adventurers are just people who do odd jobs.

However, this cannot stop young people's enthusiasm for going out and adventuring, although they usually can't stand being in the wild for more than a few days before giving up.

All of this left Yu Jin feeling disappointed, but since it was his first job, he was still very enthusiastic.

"Oh? Silly boy, you're back. How was your adventure, great adventurer?" Lisa saw Ember's expression and knew all about his troubles. She immediately covered her mouth and chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. He felt that Lisa was being too polite. He was just a novice adventurer, so how did she call him a great adventurer?

"You flatter me. I'm just a small-time adventurer. I didn't expect you to have so much confidence in me, Lisa." Ember was a little touched. Was this what it felt like to be recognized?

"Slap!" Lisa covered her forehead speechlessly. She really couldn't tell whether Yu Jin was genuinely stupid or pretending.

She said somewhat awkwardly, "Never mind, let's not talk about this. Seno is coming. Since your two little ones are going to Sumeru, you'll definitely have to ask him to pick them up."

"No problem!" Yu Jin patted his chest. It was only natural to go and greet someone if he had asked them for help.

"That's good. Seno will probably arrive this afternoon. You can wait at the city gate. I've described what you look like to him, so he should be able to recognize you quickly." Lisa casually gave Yu Jin some instructions.

Ember nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and then he said to Galuro and Cole, who were eavesdropping behind him:

"You two, come with me to pick up Sino this afternoon, let's see how it goes."

"Oh!"

"clear."

Two girls emerged from behind the bedroom door, their voices filled with resentment. They hadn't expected the separation to come so quickly, and they were both finding it hard to adjust.

Clearly, they haven't yet adapted to the convenience of the sun bracelet's ability to teleport anywhere.

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I still have a lot of research to do. Bye-bye~" Seeing the somewhat sad atmosphere, Lisa felt she should give them some space, so she left.

But she was wrong, because Galuro and Cora were simply sad because they couldn't be with Ember all the time.

After another afternoon of chores, Ember stood at the entrance to Mondstadt as promised, accompanied by Galuro and Krystal, attracting the attention of people from all over.

The reason is simple: Ember's attire was too conspicuous.

However, being conspicuous has its advantages. Soon, Ember saw a man with a completely different style of clothing from Mondstadt walking towards him.

The man had white hair and wolf-like eyes, wore a jackal hat, and had a blue patterned skirt tied around his waist with a gold openwork shoulder strap, making him look both agile and wild.

His exposed tanned skin, covered with numerous scars, combined with his distinctive clothing, made him resemble a ferocious desert jackal.

So this must be Seno; he's dressed quite scantily. Yu Jin thought to himself with a slight sigh, but he didn't really have the right to judge other people's clothing.

"You must be Mr. Ember." Seno noticed Ember's figure at a glance. There was no other reason than that his more distinctive attire was enough to make him take a second look.

“Mr. Seno? I’ve heard so much about you. These are my two younger sisters. I’ll be entrusting them to you to take back to Sumeru.”

Yu Jin grabbed Seno's hand and shook it. He didn't know what he should do, after all, he had almost no experience in this area, and he only knew this from books.

Seno looked at his constantly waving arm and couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had heard from Lisa's letter that Ember was somewhat special, but seeing it today, he realized that it really was quite special.

Seeing that Ember showed no sign of stopping, Seno subtly withdrew his arm and then said to Ember:

"Of course, it was our dereliction of duty to begin with, and bringing back the lost people of Sumeru is also part of my responsibility."

Seno patted his chest and said somewhat apologetically to Galuro and Cole. It was Sumeru's negligence that allowed the Fools to take advantage of the situation, and as an upright Grand Disciplinarian, Seno naturally wanted to make amends.

However, he did not forget his duty during this visit. He looked at the crowd around him and said:

“Mr. Ember, I have prepared a place for us in Mondstadt. Why don’t we go there and have a chat to discuss that person?”

"Huh? Oh, oh, oh!" Ember was a little taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that Seno had come to investigate the Doctor, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, okay, I have a very good impression of that guy."

How could I not remember him? The PhD is a man without kidneys!

"Okay, that's good." Seno nodded and led the group toward a building in Mondstadt.

"You're here, my junior? Your senior has missed you a lot." As soon as Yu Jin entered the building, he heard a familiar voice, but this time it wasn't calling him.

"Senior, it's been a long time." Seno clearly knew Lisa's character and wasn't too surprised.

Yu Jin glanced around and saw that there were quite a few people in the room, including Lisa, Qin, and Kaiya.

"The Grand Disciplinarian has traveled a great distance to Mondstadt, but the Knights cannot give him a proper welcome. We hope you will not mind."

Jean bowed slightly to Seno as a token of apology, while Kaiya stood behind her, seemingly lost in thought.

"It's alright, it was my request in the first place, and I should thank you." Seno waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

"And Cole, I want to apologize to you. It was my negligence that led to you being treated unfairly. I have already dismissed the knight involved." Jean looked at Cole behind Ember and apologized to her again.

"Alright, we weren't even paying attention, but you brought it up again. Let's get down to business." Yu Jin scratched his head and said somewhat impatiently, because he felt that the conversation had been pointless.

"Pfft—well, I told you he's interesting, didn't I?" Lisa chuckled, breaking the somewhat formal atmosphere.

“It really is just as you said. Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ember, and also, Cole.” Jean thanked Ember and Cole behind her.

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. My dear friend is itching to tell us about his triumph over the Doctor," Kaeya said with a smile, looking at Ember who seemed hesitant to speak.

"Defeat the Doctor?" This was unheard of. Seno looked at Ember with a serious expression. The Doctor was a thorn in the side of the Order of the Fathers.

For many years, the Church has spared no effort in searching for his whereabouts, but unfortunately, they have always found very little.

This time, someone actually managed to defeat the Doctor, which truly surprised Seno. The Order of the Church hadn't faced the Doctor head-on for many years, and their information about him was outdated.

"Then Mr. Ember, could you tell me what impressed you most about the Doctor?" Seno looked at Ember with burning eyes, full of anticipation.

"Remember?" Yu Jin stroked his chin, thought about his fight with the Doctor, and then said without hesitation, "He didn't have kidneys!"

"????"
