The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

"Who's the idiot that's causing a ruckus in my test pavilion?!"

Of course, comes the evident stern old man in charge of the place.

One that will find offense to us making a scene.

Right now we are dealing with serious matters!

He shouldn't come in between me and getting justice!

I gesture the committee member to keep apologizing.

He seems unsure but he does do it in the end.

"Hey, are you guys new here?! Aren't you aware of the rules?!"

So he says while glaring at the three of us.

His white brows are thick and furrowed.

So thick I can't see his eyes.

How does this guy even manage to walk?

He seems pretty lively in any case.

Not the old decrepit old man that I was expecting.

Why am I only noticing that one feature of his?

Well, it is just too obvious in his face.

He might be here to interfere, but I cannot let that happen.

[We are peacefully resolving a conflict of monumental proportions at the moment. But do not worry it won't come to any violence!]

"What?! Then I will be worried! What am I supposed to do if there is no fight? This would be troublesome."

What is he going on about?

Why would it be bad that people aren't fighting?

What kind of attitude is that?!

Is this guy really someone in charge of this place?

He seems to be pondering for a few seconds before his eyes light up.

"I guess we would do this!"

He turns toward little Bai.

"Yo, boy! You are that guy that tamed a slime, right?!"

"Yes, what about it?"

Talk about stating the obvious haha.

Naw, little Bai just loves to go around carrying a slime.

Kinda like a natural beauty-mask for the skin.

As if?!

Also, this is weird.

Since taming it, he manages to give it orders.

Who said slimes are braindead?

Little Bai hasn't been corroded even once by mistake.

Yep pretty damn obvious that it's tamed.

Ever wanted to cosplay a skeleton easily?

Get a slime and look perfect after it is done helping you get rid of the extra weight!

Aka all the flesh, muscles, and bones.

Or not.

Guess there is more to it than it meets the eye at first.

So much for a dumb species that eats everything in sight.

Still what kind of punishment does this elder have in store for us?

Besides doing some noise we didn't do anything much.

"You are here for your test, right? We'll go in there and you'll show us what your slime can do!"

"Yes!"

"Good kid, now time for business."

He turns around and …

"Everyone! Time to open the bets! As usual, I will be the banker. Today we will bet on the performance of this student t right here and his slime!"

I can hear various exclamations.

Something about how it has been a while since the last gambling den.

Something about the best betting strategies.

Something about little Bai and the slime.

Something about how handsome that committee member is and how pitiful he looks.

Are these girls blind? I'm right next to him.

Why is no one commenting on my handsomeness?!

Damn it!

Seriously what is wrong with this elder?!

He's already making rounds collecting coins.

Lots of coins!

Seriously, how many tamers are participating in this?

How are they going to hide an operation that big?

The worst is the guy is still hollering about how people should join.

This is some dedication right there.

He is apparently done as he approaches us.

"Alright, boy let's bring you to the testing area."

Little Bai looks at me

"Wish me good luck! I'll need it!!

Oh yeah, he will. For sure.

[Good luck man! You can do it for sure!]

How does the weak triumph over the strong? Effort!

How does a slime triumph then? A freaking miracle!

That when I hear someone interrupt!

"Wait, stop this for a second!"

Comes running another guy.

Now that I see it up-close, he has the same robe as that guy in charge.

The newcomer seems mad.

"How dare you do this!?"

Nice.

There is the real stern elder!

I knew there was no way betting on students' performances would be allowed!

This would obviously be unprofessional and give a bad image to the guild.

"Well, you know me I can't help it…"

Did one just admit a gambling addiction?

"You should know not to be so impatient! How many times do I have to tell you to wait for me before you start?!"

Wait …

That's it?

This isn't better.

This new guy just wants to join in the action!

How ridiculous is this place?

Meanwhile, my friend is heading into a passageway to test his might.

Actually, the might of a slime.

The committee member has recovered too.

He is now handing a pouch filled with money to that first elder.

Is he betting too now?!

Then he comes back toward us lazily.

Why is he signing autographs on the way?!

Wasn't he the one that was asking for one from my mentor earlier?

Seriously what is up with this place?

"Now we just need to wait. Actually, youngling you didn't bet anything right? You should totally participate. If anything it promotes cohesion in the group!"

He's talking to me?!

[I'm so broke. I really wish I could.]

Talk about fearsome ways to make people sin.

Presenting it in such a convincing way.

The other joins the argument.

"Youngster I also recommend you participate. This way you could make some profit. Not only that but it will train your analytical ability. After a few rounds, you'll improve your skills for sure.

"It will help you for sure to get used to stressful situations. Then when you are in danger your instincts will resurface and empower you!"

"It is also a great way to make friends. You might have one right now but he seems busy with his own stuff. How about getting a few more friends? If you join we can be your friends too."

Yep, both of the men are not to be trusted.

I kinda understand people that say the world is a scary place at times haha.

Oh well, it can't be helped.

By the way, I truly wonder if...

Little Bai will be fine, right?!
