"One line please, one line each attendee!"
The guild hall, located at the far left of the town square has always been lively but at this year, many have tried to pass the beginner's test to become an adventurer. Although many tried, only few have succeeded in passing the tests run inside the hall. Quests are given to the examinees and they are tasked to do it in time.
"Noisy..."
Darius mumbled as he passed by the guild hall. He was rejected yesterday for him being so bloody and dirty. Today could be just a normal day for him. He went to the large doors of it and entered. Adellene came along as well with him inside.
As they came in, teens like their age came and tried the beginner's tests. There were different kinds of people inside the room with them walking around with their own groups.
"I will surely pass the exams. I have this magnificent sword my father gave me. He said it was made by the best blacksmith here in Aurinburg."
"You know, it doesn't matter on the sword. It really matters most on how you use it."
"I wonder what kind of monster we're going to find there... I hope its not that dangerours."
"I really hope its not."
"Oh don't worry I'm here to protect you."
Chats going around like wild fire made Darius annoyed but Adellene was glad that there are young, spirited and hopeful to become adventurers.
"Hello sir! Thank you for coming here today. Here is the form, also here's for you miss."
"Ah-ehh, I'm not gonna become~"
"Oh sure you will! Just go line up to that attendee."
Darius just glared at the two while they are chatting. After a few senonds, a group of flashy beginners enters the hall and looked at the announcer.
"Oh you all must be of the noble clans. Come right this way please!"
The nobles were directly lead to the room with a private attendee. Everyone was not pleased to what has happened right there.
"Hey! What do you thing you~"
Adellene let out a shout but was quickly covered by the Darius. He then whispered to her ears.
"What are you doing? Do you want your head to be on the line?
"Wha–no of course not. But they cut in the line..."
"Just don't mind it they are nobles, we can't go against them."
Later on Darius loosened his grip and bowed to the noble group.
"Sorry about the ruckus my ally have made."
"You lousy low life, you better put some knowledge to that brain-dead woman beside you."
...
The nobles just continues to away from the crowd and went to the private attendee.
"You know, it's really unfair for them to juat walk away yes. But the have more political power againts us who live in the farm lands or just going in taverns and inns. I hate to say jt but they are always at the top. So you should stay quiet and let them do what they want."
Adellene just stared at Darius as he said those words. Even she cannot deny how gloomy the air went after that incident.
" Darius. Hey Darius! I want to be an adventurer... Although I'm quite new to the outside world, can you~"
"No."
"But I co~"
"No."
"You know that I~"
"No."
"Hey at least let me finish what I'm gonna say! I really don't want to be in danger or a burden to you. But let me just do what I feel is right. It really hurts when someone just looks down on me you know!"
Darius became silent and just look at her. After a few minutes he let out a sigh and look at her with strong eyes.
"No."
"You won't stop anyway since I'm not under your protection or anything."
-Darius Bane, Adellene Turien. Please come in front-
Both of them quickly heeded and followed the announcer. They were lead to one of the rooms inside the guild hall.
"Hello, Sir Darius Bane and Miss Adellene Turien. I am Lin Gauff, your attendee for your interview."
"Hello! It~"
"I'll go with the question directly. Why did you choose this way of living?"
"Well... I haven't really been thinking about it but I think I have to."
"Why adventuring though?"
" You see, there were disrespectful nobles earlier but still got away with what they did. Darius said we cannot challenge them or anything because they are nobles. It's just unfair. That's why~"
"Ah so you just wanna do it because you feel it. Didn't you know that there are dangerous things about being an adventurer? Murlocs, reapers, necromancers and their undead minions, demons, sea serpents, dragons, and the imps and goblins. Ughkkk."
Adellene's face have gone pale and gloomy.
"Hmmmm... That's true. But I think I can manage! I will train to defend myself from them then."
"Well you got a gua~"
"He won't mind if I go missing or anything and I don't care about it."
"Hmm..."
Lin just sat there, shocked of what is going on in front of her. She thought that the guy beside the new girl examinee was a body guard.
"Are you rea~"
"Yes! I am sure and done with my decision."
"Well I guess there is no turning back for you then. Here's your test quest. Oh I almost forgot, once you've done everything, jist come to the front desk and we will see if bith of you passed the test."
Both of them looked at the quest. Adellene's eyes were on fire as she received her first quest. After their interview and getting the quest test, they both went to Rain for the things they needed.
"I guess were doing this together huh?"
"Yeah right! I'll show those nobles that I can do it as well."
"Just don't hold me back."
"What did you say? Hmmp???"
"Nothing."
