Isn't that Dedero who hogs the upstream territory.

Why doesn't the guild master step in?

Why doesn't the guild master step in?

The old guild master individually might be a decent enough man, but the guild itself is already thoroughly corrupt and only serving itself, at the expense of the adventurers. The guild master probably can't do that much anymore, bound as he is by the rules and traditions of the rotten organisation.

There are plenty of examples already:

• The rules dictating adventurers aren't free to form parties as they wish, which forced Touru, Sora, and Mu rank up before they had accumulated enough wealth, to be able to work with Euril. The adventurers are the ones risking life and limb to fight monsters, yet the guild reserves the right to place such arbitrary rules on them. Even now Euril can only work with them for three days before taking an obligatory break because of nuh-uh important guild rulez.
• The rank up exam itself. The guild gave a strict time limit, yet in practice Touru & Co could only make progress depending on the mining team's progress. The mining team was actually the priority for the guild, producing valuable resources, so the rank up examinees were tasked with protecting them and making sure they can work in peace. But the examinees themselves had to reach the bottom in the limited time and collapse the dungeon. The whole thing was a contradiction. If the miners had got lazy or cowardly, or had wanted to be very thorough with their work, the examinees would have failed, no matter how hard they would have tried.
• The guild doesn't bother to do anything about the Red River situation, where strong adventurer groups have claimed, by force, the best spots, preventing anyone else from gaining access to the resources the river is supposed to offer adventurers to grow and rank up.

These are so clear examples of corruption and forgetting its original purpose that it's no wonder if adventurers get disillusioned. Is it realistic? Hell yes. Even today organisations forget whom they are supposed to serve and only start to work for themselves. In the past it was even worse.

Thanks for answering.
