"Last time in… never mind, I'm not in the mood"
Sam was in a bad mood, he was angry that a goblin makes him use the only health potion that the Lamp gave him, and was analyzing why the goblin was able to bite him after the missing Jap.
"I'm in better shape, so why I couldn't take back my arm in time? Even in a heated state, I should able to do the basics; maybe that's why I haven't gained a technic related to that"
While he was thinking about the battle, a group of people can be seen in the road. The group of 3 and a kid was looking for something when they see a daydreaming Sam.
"Heey, mister over here"||
But Sam was not listening. "He didn't hears us, let approach and ask him about that"
When Sam finally wakes up from his daydreaming, without answers, Sam notice the group wearing all red, looking at him.
"Hello friends, you need me for something?"
"Yes, we are a group of iron adventures, we were battling a group of goblins yesterday and some of them escaped, we are currently chasing them, you happen to see three goblins on your way here?"
"There was four goblins, and yes I see them, they should be rotten under a tree a couple of hours this road"
"You defeat them, very well for a normal villager like you" the red team was seriously surprised; no normal villager could defeat four goblins on they own, even if they were wounded.
"No big deal, they only manage to wound me a little, and I'm no normal villager, I'm currently going to Magda town to register as an adventurer.
"That's great, you can come with us, and since there no more goblins we are returning to Magda as well" The man then turns to his companions receiving an approval.
Moving all together in way to Magda the leader speaks again. "Let's do the introductions, I'm Liam, the handsome leader of this group"
Then the lady speaks "I'm Elena and the priest of the group, this man on my left is Juda, the rogue or thief of the group"
"and this little girl" "I'm not little" "You have 8, of course you are little" Said Liam taking the loli to his shoulders. "As I was saying, this little girl is my child ||Petunia||, and is a surprisingly good archer; and all together form the adventurer group ||–The Red Shirts-||"
"Cool name" – I actually didn't listen to the name, but I don't want to ask again- "So Liam, Elena, Juda and little Peanuts, my name is Samuel; you can call me Sam, a pleasure to meet you"
Sam then feels pain in his ankle, "ousch". In that moment the trio of the red shirts starts to laugh.
"Bad uncle, my name is Petunia, a name for a grown up, not Little Peanuts" then she immediately start to attack Sam again.
"Jajaja, Dear just let him be" then he look at Sam, "This is going to be a fun journey" Liam said spoken to himself.

"Here we are Magda town"
After a couple of hours more, the group reached Magda, a fairly big town of a couple docent of hundred.
Reaching the entrance, they are stopped by the guards.
"You know the rules, a copper coin per person for the entrance showing any form of identification"
Liam the lead "Here you have, our adventure card showing our status of iron adventurers"
"And here is my copper coin and a letter from the village chief of Rial"
Having no problem here they go directly to the adventures guild branch, Liam's group to finish a mission report, and for Sam joining the guild.
"Question, why did you not pay for the entrance?"
"Oh that? You really are a never out of village boy. Depending from the level of adventurer you are and the city, you can skip the payment; this is just a town, so from level iron adventurer, one doesn't have to pay the entrance fee" explain little Pea.
"Got it" then Sam fiercely rub little Pea head.
"I will kill you uncle" But before Peanuts kicks Sam, she was stopped by his father. "Easy you two, we are already in front of the adventurers guild"
Sam then notices the sign by the door of a building –I should remember this sign-.
"We are going to the second floor, that's where you receive missions and fill the reports, everything else it's managed by this lady here in the first floor"
Liam and his group then look at Sam. "A pleasure to meet you, but from here on, we are separating, after this we are going to Salas city, if you look to us, you can see us there when you reach iron adventurer. Goodbye Sam"
"I will surely look for all of you, goodbye mi friends"
Before the group vanish from Sam sight, Little Pea turn around and said "I'm not your friend, and I will not miss you smelly uncle" and quickly disappear before Sam could fiercely rub her head again.
After having a new objective (rubbing fiercely little Pea head in Salas city) Sam approaches the entrance table.
"How can we help you?"
"Yes, I want to join the adventures guild, how I can do that?"
"Nothing more easy sir, just fill this form and pay a deposit of 5 copper coins for procedures" Said the lady taking out a paper.
The Paper just was stating that being an adventurer it's a job that you can die at any time and the guild it's not responsible for your security, and because the adventurer job conflicts with the kings army, the king law are more severe with them. After signing that you accept the terms, Sam receives another paper, with only stating your name and where are you from. Sam becomes 5 coins poorer and giving the lady the village chief letter, she said…
"Everything in order, you are now officially a wood grade adventurer"
"Wood grade?"
"Yes sir, adventurer's grades are from beginner to hero: wood, iron, copper, silver, gold and platinum. One last think sir, your adventurer card and necklace will be ready tomorrow, anything more?"
"Nothing more, I will just come back tomorrow, can you tell me a good inn?"
"Nice inns for travelers and beginners adventurers are in the end of the street, very well sir, have a nice day"
Sam heads out and begin to look for a cheap inn, with he found at the end of the street just as the receptionist lady told him.
"Welcome to Marie's inn, how I can help you?"
"How many it's the stay for a day?"
"Its 1 copper coin and 5 stone coins more if you want breakfast"
Paying the full money Sam goes to his room. Putting down his stuff and taking his clothes of, Sam takes a breath.
-I will do a couples of karate katas if I can see anything wrong with my body, this weakness almost kill me-
An hour later Sam reaches to a conclusion, "My body it's slightly different but doesn't have anything wrong, what it lacks is muscle memories" –I should probably have to train this body from the beginning right away, but this is my first town, I'm going to find something fun to do-
After taking a bath, Sam goes outside the inn looking for something "fun" to do.
