A week had passed from when Adam came to the 'World After'. He was already accustomed to his daily routine of doing the chores of the inn and was getting more friendly with the surroundings.
He finally got a day off when he asked Paul that he had some things he needed to attend to. Paul despite his heavy build was a really kind and caring guy. He gave Adam a day off without much questions.
Adam for the first time was about to go to the city. His world was limited to the inn from the day he came here. He looked at his cupboard and found the same clothes that he was wearing but they looked a little less worn.
Adam was sighing with disappointment when suddenly Emily came inside his room. She saw Adam being sad, looking at his cupboard. She immediately got a vague idea about the situation.
She grabbed Adam's hand , pulled him close and whispered him "Wait for an hour , I'll help you out".
Adam got embarrassingly red and was surprised at Emily's behaviour. He didn't even noticed when she came in the room. When Emily left , Adam was agitated. He was thinking about what can she help him with.
For the whole hour , Adam was thinking about Emily's words as he remembered her getting close to him and grabbing his hand. He got red again. This cycle repeated for a while.
After an hour, Emily came to Adam's room , all dressed up in a gorgeous black and blue dress, with a feathered hat on top. She was excited and told "Let's go Adam or the day will end".
Adam was still clueless and thought maybe she wanted to go on a date with him. His thoughts were all over him. How can she be so bold? and why now ?
All the confusion went away as Adam got into the city. The only thing left was the curious Adam starring at everything with sparkling eyes. Emily took him to a Clothes Shop and asked the person in charge to show outfits that will suit him.
Of course Adam noticed what was going on. He was disappointed and also embarrassed about all those over the top ideas he was having about this whole thing. While Emily just wanted to buy him new clothes.
It was common sense to call someone an able person when they turned 16 in this world. Adam was 15 and judging by how assertive Emily was , she would probably be older than him.
With all these thoughts in mind , began a never ending trail of hell. Adam just wanted to buy something other than what he was wearing while Emily was rejecting everything he wore and told him to try another one.
Half a day had passed and Adam was at his limit. If Emily would reject one more outfit then he would make a run for it and would run untill he'll be nowhere to be found.
Finally , Emily smiled when Adam was wearing a Light Grey shirt, with a black overcoat. He was wearing black pants and had a unique vibe coming from him. Almost like a gentleman with a wild look.
After this was finished. Adam finally had a chance to go to the Guild Hall. When he reached at the Guild Hall ,he saw a majestic dragon crafted out of wood on the front with the words " Twin Dragons ".
As he went inside, he could sense the power of the people inside. Maybe it was like a 6th sense but he already knew who he should not mess with for now.
Adam went to the reception where a Lady with a green and white uniform was standing attending to people. When Adam got his turn , he was nervous but to his surprise he wasn't allowed to take the power level measurement test.
According to law , only after turning 16, people had the liberty to take the test and become an adventurer. He was angry but all he could do was curse his age. Now he had to wait for a whole year to take this exam.
The receptionist also said that after turning 16 , children are expected to attend the Magic Academy to ensure that none of their talents would go to waste. Adam accepted his truth and left gritting his teeth. Emily had already left after buying him clothes.
Adam was indebted to her and wanted to return the favor. He also thought that why isn't Emily attending the Magic academy. He had questions but the most important one was that how would he complete his quest.
He had gained nothing, the whole day got waisted. When Adam reached back to the inn and went to his room, he thought maybe he should train for the year to have a decent power level to attend the academy next year.
He was determined to get his bar high enough to call himself at least average. By looking at his appearance he already knew that he was weak. And having a cute face does not count as strength so he was pretty sure that he'll have to workout.
Adam made his routine such that he could get at least 2 hours a day for this workout. On his first day when he started his basic workout, the system showed up.
[ REQUIREMENTS MET ]
Basic Training Quest:

Adam was delighted. He already wanted to workout but now he got a bigger motivation. His days of training his body began. Adam had no idea what should he do about mental training , all he did was physical workout.He also got to know that Emily was actually of the same age as him and will attend the Magic Academy , the next year with him.
Adam was happy to know that he'll have someone he already know so that it wouldn't get too lonely. He also learnt how to access the Status Window to view other people's information. He looked at Emily's ,

He was surprised to see the race mentioned as it was not there in his case. There were mysteries that needed him to level up to unveil.
