Exiled Noble Lady Crafts While Traveling in a Campervan in Another World - V8 Chapter 10

Chapter 296, “The Street and the Snowman”

The protagonist navigates entry restrictions to explore the third layer, ultimately opting for the “Layer 3 Exam” to obtain entry permission. They apply for the exam with two companions, one of whom already meets the entry criteria. The protagonist completes the application solo and awaits the exam details in five days.

Chapter 295, “Procedures for Taking the Exam”

I understood the conversation.

I ask, “Um… so does that mean entry is prohibited beyond the third layer? Are we not allowed to enter?”

“…Unfortunately, that’s correct.”

“By the way, I’m not an adventurer. Does that mean I could ignore the Adventurer’s Guild’s intentions and enter on my own?”

“Entry restrictions are determined by the country’s laws, not just the Adventurer’s Guild…”

Determined by the law…

Meaning, entry restrictions apply to everyone in the country.

If it were rules set only by the Adventurer’s Guild, I could have ignored them since I’m not an adventurer.

Hmm.

Troubling.

To fight the Ice Dragon, I have to explore beyond the third layer.

I really need entry permission no matter what.

I ask, “How can I obtain entry permission?”

“If your adventurer rank is AA rank or higher, you can enter.”

So I have to register as an adventurer and then aim to reach AA rank.

It might not be impossible, but it’s a hassle.

I further inquire, “…Are there any other methods?”

“Yes. For those who are not adventurers, we have a system to issue entry permits.”

“What kind of system is that?”

“We present a challenge to those who wish to enter the Karzza Great Snow Mountain.”

“A challenge?”

“Yes. If you clear that challenge, we will grant you an entry permit. This system is called the ‘Layer 3 Exam.'”

I see, I see.

A challenge, huh.

I don’t know what it entails, but it might be faster to register as an adventurer now and aim for AA rank.

Alright. Decision made.

“Well then, I would like to take that ‘Layer 3 Exam’ as soon as possible. Where can I apply for the exam?”

“You can do it here. …Um, are there three people wishing to enter the mountain?”

Of course, it’s me, Aristi, and Nina, three in total.

I nod, “Yes.”

Then the receptionist adds, “For a party of three, you need at least two people with entry qualifications.”

“So, in other words, two out of the three need to be AA rank or have an entry permit to enter?”

“Yes.”

In that case, only Aristi and I can take the exam.

I quickly translate and convey all this to Aristi.

Then Aristi says, “I have an adventurer card.”

“Eh, really?”

“Yes. I used to be an adventurer in the past. I was exactly AA rank.”

Is that so?

That’s news to me.

Hmm.

In that case, Aristi can already enter at this point.

All that’s left is for me to get the entry permit.

(Then, I’ll be the only one taking the exam.)

I understand this.

I speak to the receptionist again, “I’d like to proceed with the exam application. I’ll be the only one taking the exam.”

“Understood. Please fill in the necessary details on this document and submit it. If you can’t read or write, we can assist with that.”

“It’s okay. I can write it myself.”

I quickly glance over the document.

It asks for the examinee’s name and the reason for taking the exam.

I fill in the required information on the document.

Once I finish filling it out, I submit it.

The receptionist says, “I’ve received it. Regarding the challenge, I will inform you on the fifth day at 12:00 noon. Please come to
