Bangboo vs Ethereal (III)

(Idle)

Coach Aster: En-nah! (This must be because we've got an awesome assistant instructor!)

(Idle)

Ultimate Support: En-nah-ehn! (Checking my exam data... the medkit's already loaded!)

(Idle)

Butler: En-nah... (You didn't have to go out of your way to bring me here...)

Lycaon: No need to be so formal. I did it because of the client's request, after all...

(Talk to Lycaon)

Lycaon: Master Proxy? I didn't expect to run into you here.

What brings you here, Lycaon?

Lycaon: Oh, a client requested that a certified Combat Bangboo accompany him into the Hollow...

Butler's taking the exam too?

Lycaon: Yes, a client requested a certified Combat Bangboo to accompany him into the Hollow...

Lycaon: To fulfill his request, I searched for related info. Loads of posts on the Inter-Knot hinted vaguely that if you're eager to complete the exam in no time, Reverb Arena is your go-to.

Lycaon: Plus, they mentioned a "talented yet oddly dressed Bangboo Coach" who gives off a vibe like... Oh, I don't mean Coach Aster today! But seriously, there's something uniquely intriguing about this whole situation.

Not really sure why.

Lycaon: Well, I've also heard that the new assistant instructor is even more reliable than that odd Bangboo Coach they had before...

Lycaon: Oh! So you're the one helping these Bangboo with their exams? Your free time... is as packed as ever.

Perhaps the reason lies with the reliable assistant instructor.

Lycaon: I've indeed heard that the new assistant coach here is way more reliable than that strange Bangboo Coach.

Lycaon: Oh! So you're the one helping these Bangboo with their exams? Your spare time... is as packed as ever.

Lycaon: So, would you mind keeping an eye on Butler's exam too?

No problem!

Leave it to me!

Lycaon left after bidding farewell to Butler.
Could the "talented yet oddly dressed Bangboo Coach" he mentioned possibly be that friend of Coach Aster's?

Well, let's not dwell on the unknowns for now! Anyway, Butler is a seasoned little Bangboo warrior...
Finishing this exam should be a piece of cake for it!

Inquire about the purpose of Amillion and Safety's visit

 Step Description

---

Butler needs to take the combat assessment too? It seems that the certificates issued by the Marcel Group have a lot of credibility among Bangboo...
Oh, there are some familiar faces. Are Amillion and Safety going to take the assessment as well?

(Idle)

Safety: Nha-nah? (Are you here for the exam too?)

Safety: En-nah! Nah? (I'm good at taking down a single Ethereal! What about you?)

Amillion: En! Ehn-ne-nah! (Amillion! Go! Knock 'em out!)

(Talk to Amillion)

Safety: Ne-nah... Nha-nah! (I'm not quite sure what you're saying... but can we take the exam together?)

Amillion: En-nah! Nha! (Together! Win!)

What a coincidence!

You're here for the exam too?

Safety: En-nah. (Oh, it's you.)

Safety: En-nah-nah, nu-nah... (Ben suggested I take the certification to get familiar with some of the unique situations and Ethereals we might come across in the Hollow.)

Safety: En-nah-nah-en... (Not sure what kind of teammates and coach we'll get, though...)

Amillion: Ehn-nah! Nha! Nha! (Proxy! Guide! Bangboo! Defeat! Ethereals! Smashed!)

Safety: Ehn-neh... (Ugh...)

Safety: Nha-nah-en... Nha-nah! (Whatever, if you run into tough Ethereals... just call me for backup!)

I'll help you too.

Let me take you to the coach.

Introduce the little Bangboo to Coach Aster

 Step Description

---

Butler, Amillion, and Safety are all going to participate in the assessment. As a friend of their parents, I'll do my best to guide them.
I should go find Coach Aster now and see what today's assessment entails.

(Talk to Coach Aster)

Coach Aster: En-ne? (More candidates showing up?)

Amillion and Safety look like they're ready to take the exam.

Coach Aster: En-nah. (Hello! Welcome to the Combat Bangboo Certification exam site at Reverb Arena.)

Safety: Enh-nah! (Hi, I'd like to take the exam!)

Amillion: Ehn! Nha! (Take! Exam!)

Coach Aster: Nha-nah-en~ (The assistant is here, too. Good. Everyone, please log into the system now~)

Take the Bangboo to attend the Tactical Assessment

 Step Description

---

Once I'm ready, I'll take the little Bangboo to attend today's Tactical Assessment.

(Proceed to Day 03 stages)

(After completing Tactical Qualification Assessment 06)

Nicole: Are you the battle exam coach? Will our Amillion be able to get that... certificate or whatever?

Coach Aster: En-nah... (Let me check...)

Coach Aster: Nha-nah, nha-en-nah! (Yep, your Bangboo has passed all the tests and can now get the Combat Bangboo Certificate from the Marcel Group!)

Nicole: Awesome!

Nicole: I knew those guides weren't just talking... See? The certificate's right here!

Nicole: If I put it up on Cunning Hares' promo page, our clients will definitely add more Dennies for Amillion~

Typical Nicole.

Nicole: Ah, Proxy, you're here too!

Nicole: Hang on...

Nicole looks confused as she checks the message she just received...

Nicole: Wait, I just updated Amillion's certificate and a client already took the bait... I mean, placed an order?

Nicole: Alright, I'm taking Amillion with me now! See you next time, Proxy!

Nicole: Oh, by the way, this exam site... I bet it's all thanks to you, right?

Nicole: I get it — Marcel Group will never hear a peep from me!

Nicole leaves happily with Amillion.
That reaction... looks exactly like when she's scammed a huge sum of Dennies from a client.

And what did she mean by what she just said? Something feels... off.

Coach Aster: Enh-nu... (That parent was acting kinda strange...)

Coach Aster: En-nah! (But, congrats to everyone for passing the exam and getting the certificate!)

Coach Aster: Nha-nah! En-nah, nha-nah! (You're the best assistant instructor I've ever met! Whether it's social interaction classes or battle exams!)

Coach Aster: En-nah, nu-en-nah... (Every time I run into you, things just seem to go very smoothly...)

So, about the assistant's bonus...

Coach Aster: Nha-nah—nha-en! (Of course, no problem — see you next time!)

That's because you're always so generous.

Coach Aster: En-nah? Nha-en-nah! (Really? Alright, see you next time!)
