Chapter - 4
[1 month later, Felix was washing his face and saw]
Felix: "Why do I have hair growing above my lip"
Felix: Yeah this must be what father about becoming a man
Felix: "Like Father told"
[Felix looks at the sky thinking]
Felix: Is this the right time to enter the town, or should I just sneak in and steal a map
[Felix takes a rock and sharpens it, cuts his hair, washes his clothes, and dries it with heat from his palm]
Felix: Why does it feel weird to stand naked now unlike before
[Felix dresses up and heads to the town gates and gets stopped by the guard at the gate]
Guard 1: ..Hey kid, I need to see some identification before you enter..
Felix: "Uhh, I don't have any"
Guard 1: ..Then leave before a monster comes here..
[Felix stays and practices mana sense a rare general skill instead of leaving]
Felix: Luckily, I found useful magic in the first page of Mother's book and the reason I started reading was due to the most common form of torture, boredom, also loneliness during this one month
[One guard comes out and speaks to the guard on duty]
Guard 2: ..Hey Mike, it's my shift now, anything out of the ordinary..
Guard 1: ..The only unusual thing is that kid over there..
Guard 2: ..What does he want..
Guard 1: ..He wants to enter and has no identification..
Guard 2: ..Call the guild master..
[Guard 1 goes to the guild master and says]
Guard 1: ..Master there is something out of the ordinary, a kid wants to enter and has no identification..
Alton: "Well, the patrol team is gonna come soon, let's go"
[They reached the gate and the patrol team comes arrives a minute later]
Alton: "Is that the kid"
Guard 1: ..Yes, master..
Patrol team: ..Master, we are here..
Alton: "Follow me, I'll be talking to that kid over there"
[Felix notices them and turns around]
Alton: "I am the guild master Alton, I am in charge of all matters relating to the security of the town"
Felix: "Okay, so I just want to enter okay"
[Patrol team member says]
Patrol team: ..It's sir..
Alton: "You are a security risk because you have no form of identification"
Felix: "How do I not become a security risk, sir"
Alton: "You can join the guild"
Felix: "And how to join sir"
Alton: "You are so clueless, so we only keep a rank test every month once and you missed it but you can join the patrol team to get an improvised rank test"
Felix: "How dangerous might this be sir"
Alton: "Not too much and which class do you belong to by the way"
Felix: "Uhh, I just punch, sir"
Alton: "Interesting"
[Felix follows the patrol team]
Patrol team: ..Master, is this kid gonna be useful..
Alton: "Well, I think he will be"
[A fire lion comes out of nowhere]
Alton: "Group defense position"
[The patrol team forms a circle and Felix is left out]
Felix: Stupid adults
Alton: "Kid punch it! It's only a small one"
[Felix punches the lion on the head when it attacked him and it's dead]
Alton: " What, how is this possible, what's your name kid"
Felix: "Felix, I am Felix sir"
[The other patrol team members are murmuring]
Alton: "Felix I guess you can join the guild now and you are C- rank"
[They finished their patrol and head to the town and directly to the guild and the female receptionist says]
Receptionist 1: ..Master, who's this kid..
Alton: "Well, even I don't know but he seems to be useful and willing"
Receptionist 1: ..Master should I get him registered..
Alton: "Go for it"
[The receptionist calls a beefy man to escort Felix to a room and he has a form in his hand]
Beefy man: ..Kid what's your name..
Felix: "Felix"
Beefy man: ..Well, I'll be helping you in filling your form today..
Felix: "Oh thank you"
Beefy man: ..Let's start with your full name..
Felix: "Felix Leohart"
Beefy man: .. Birthplace..
Felix: "I don't remember"
Beefy man: ..Okay, that's not a problem, then battle rank..
Felix: "C-"
Beefy man: ..Oh nice and class..
Felix: "Do I have to do that now"
Beefy man: ..Then null, but you need a proper class to get B- rank and above clearance level..
Felix: "What's that"
Beefy man: .. Okay D level clearance..
Felix: "What's clearance"
Beefy man: ..Basically how much info you can get from the guild and be careful, there are some bad people in the guild..
Felix: "Who all "
Beefy man: ..Now Felix, go give it to the lady at the desk..
[Felix gives it]
Receptionist 1: ..Here you go..
[She gives a card and Felix after taking the card]
Felix: "Thank you and can you give me a crash course on how the guild work and what is this I.D used for"
Receptionist 1: ..There's the request board and you have to go there to take a request, tell the receptionist that you are going on the request and your battle class should match the request. You can use your guild I.D to enter cities and towns..
Felix: "That's gonna be useful to me"
Receptionist 1: ..And please be careful around the factions..
Felix: "What do you mean?"
Receptionist 1: ..There are factions in the guild between classes and the knights are the largest faction and they are in a need of mages..
Felix: "Is there any specific person I should worry about"
Receptionist 1: ..I'm sorry but that's only B-level clearance..
Felix: "And anyway I have a bunch of squirrels, where can I sell them"
Adventure: ..Hey kid, check out the continental merchant company..
Felix: "Thanks"
[Felix towards the receptionist]
Felix: "Do you happen to know the closest city in the direction of the capital"
Receptionist 1: ..It's towards the north, grain city..
