Vier made a hand sign telling us to come closer. The young man was standing in front of a counter with a beautiful woman behind it.
Her long wavy hair has the same color as Vier's, they are golden. The woman's eyes are like a bright blue sky. Her lips were seductive red.
And I'm sure, the men out there must have glanced at her, once or twice, because of her sexy body that wrapped in Adventurer's Guild's tight uniform.
The friendly smile she gave me made my cheeks heat up. I know that red, dyes my cheeks.
"Her name is Ellis, she is the advisor I told you about."
The woman makes a small wave of hand after being introduced. Her smile becomes slightly wider. "Hello, my name is Ellis, nice to meet you, miss..."
"Eclaite, my name is Eclaite."
"All right, nice to meet you, Miss Eclaite. What's the name of this cute little girl?"
Ellis moves her body to lean against the counter table to look at Kimi. She also gave my sister a friendly smile. And yes, her chest that is being pressed by her weight was extremely tempting.
"My name is Kokuryo Kimi! Nice to meet you, gorgeous sister."
"Oh my gosh, I didn't expect you to have a sweet mouth. Nice to meet you too, Kimi."
"yes!"
"Miss Ellis, have all my request been prepared?"
"Of course."
Ellis back to her seat. She moved her arms to retrieve the stuff on the counter shelf. Soon, papers, pen, and Magic Tools are ready to use.
And Vier, he took out money for the registration fee. "You don't have to think about this," he said before I could say something.
Vier cut off my chances to say no. Now, all I can do is promise myself to repay his kindness in the future.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Everything is ready. Miss Eclaite this is your registration form, please fill it out."
I received a form and then remembered my Special Permit. So, I took that Special Permit from inside my bag. Then, I gave it straight to Ellis. "I just remembered. Miss Ellis, I think you're going to need this document to make my Adventurer Card."
"Oh, what kind of document is this?" Ellis tried to figure it out after she received my documents.
Of course, I made the readable part of the document face down when I hand over it. I do that because I didn't want Kimi and Vier to know what the document was. And true to my expectations, they couldn't contain their curiosity. The two of them peeked at my document.
I didn't give her an answer. Therefore, Ellis decided to read my Special Permit. The woman opens her eyes a little wider and makes an "Oh!" sound Before putting the parchment onto the counter table and of course, with the back facing up.
She's waiting for me to finish filling out the registration form then… "Please wait a minute, I'll make your Adventurer Card."
After leaving that sentence for us, Ellis took all my documents to the back room. She returned fifteen minutes later. She put a white card - at the size of an ATM card - containing my personal information on the counter table.
"To complete the registration, all you have to do next is drip your blood onto this Adventurer Card."
"Drip my blood?"
"Yes, once this adventurer card is colored with your blood, the card can only be used by you. That way, this card will turn into a blank card when someone else uses it."
I nodded and then I give the adventurer card a drop of my blood. A blue light envelops the card when my blood is absorbed by it. Seconds later, the blue light disappeared and Ellis made a smile.
"With this, your registration is complete. Miss Eclaite, welcome to Adventurer's Guild."
"Thank you."
I'm an F-Rank Adventurer now. Therefore, I must listen to an explanation of the basic knowledge addressed to Newbie Adventurer.
"First," Ellis began. "This is your Adventurer Card. The card contains your personal information such as name, age, race, level, and gender. The card also showed your adventurer rank, the number of successes and failures in completing Quests, the Special Emblem of an organization or noble family, and the title you get. Finally, the card also can be used in trade. The transaction is recorded and the money will be deducted from your savings at the bank or Adventurer's Guild."
That's quite a surprise, I didn't know that this card had such numerous functions.
"Adventurer Card is reasonably important. Therefore, you have to take good care of it. Even though the card has a security mechanism, there's a small chance that your card can be used by someone else. And if the card is completely lost, ten silver coins will be taken as the cost of reprinting the card."
Kimi and I made an understanding nod and Ellis continued her explanation.
"Next, I will explain about rank. It starts from F-Rank dan this rank can go up to E-Rank, D, C, B, A, and finally S-Rank. To get the right to take the Rank-up Test, you need a certain number of quest points and the ratio of the successes and failures of quests. Are you still following this explanation?"
A nod was the answer I and Kimi offered to Ellis, who smiled kindly. The woman said "Good," then her explanation continued.
"Rank-up Test is held once a month. Working on five quests one rank above your adventurer rank is the test. If you succeeded, your rank will go up. And if you fail, you can take another Rank-up Test three months later."
Ellis made a pause to pick up two books and a piece of paper in the corner of the counter table. She put those stuff in front of me.
"These books are an encyclopedia of monsters and medical plants, these books are yours. As for this paper, you can call it an example of a Quest Notice. You can pick up papers like this on the Quest Board and always remember, you can only pick up quest papers according to your rank and one level above or below your rank."
Ellis made a pause, again. She told me to put the books into my leather bag. I had no reason to refuse so I did what she asked.
"Lastly and the most important, Adventurer's Guild are not responsible or will interfere the fights between fellow adventurers."
"All of that was the basic knowledge for newbie adventurers. Is there anything you want to ask?"
Those explanations are comparable to the rules for adventurers in Ark Fantasy Online. Therefore, I shook my head. I've memorized it.
"All right then, do you want to take a quest?"
"That's also no, Miss Ellis. We're not ready yet and we don't have the tools we need to work on a quest."
"I see."
"I'm going to take over from here, Miss Ellis. Thank you for the help you gave to us."
Seeing Vier say his gratitude, I followed by saying, "Thank you."
Kimi who see us, mimicked.
"You're welcome. And if there are things you two don't understand, you can ask me right away."
Ellis gave a wave and a smile before we left. The three of us walked towards the Adventurer's Guild exit.
Kimi grabbed my left hand and tugged it a few times.
"What's wrong, Kimi?"
"We're going home?"
"Maybe after my business with Vier is done," I told Kimi and turned around to see Vier. "So... Vier, there is something you want to talk about?"
"I don't want to take too much of your time. I just want to know your next plans. That If you don't mind I ask."
"I don't mind it. Cabal also did the same thing."
"Cabal asked me something like that?"
"Yes, like that. About my plans, I wanted to practice using weapons and practice how to fight. I do need preparation before taking a hunting quest."
"You truly take the basic preparation, it wasn't a bad decision." Vier made a nod to his head.
"Oh yes Vier, do you know a Dojo that can teach me a fighting style using spear?"
"Hmm… forget the Dojo. How about I teach you how to fight? You said you wanted to use the spear, right? Coincidentally, I'm pretty good at using my spear. What do you think about this idea?"
"That invitation is kind of misleading isn't it?"
"Misleading? What do you mean?"
I didn't say anything but smile at him and take a step away from him.
A moment later, his face turn red. Then, he tried hard to explain that he had no intention like that. He just wants to teach me a means to fight using a spear.
I made giggles at his behavior then agree with his offer.
