The fifty thousand Divis is almost finished and one week will soon be over when the accommodation fee he paid at the inn will expire. "I have to get a way to earn money that will not endanger my life", Louis thought as he left the inn the sixth day.
Louis walked around the inner city looking for a way to get a job, but unfortunately for him all the companies needed Education certificates or connection to offer jobs. Louis was tired but as he touched his pockets, the scanty cash pushed him to search further.
It's been a long tiring day for Louis as even a drop of water had not touched his mouth, of course water was not free until the inner city. It was already dusk and he still had not gotten a job. Tomorrow was the day his accommodation fee will expire.
Louis had slept yesterday hungrily, trying to conserve money. Hunger woke him up as his stomach and intestines were squeezing causing a very severe pain. Louis who could not manage any longer packed all the cheap set of clothes he bought and went to the restaurant downstairs. He ordered for the least nutritious meal but anyways he was filled.
The only place in the inner city where he could get a job was the Warrior Guild but the missions could be life threatening and that was the reason he had been resisting the thought in his heart. Now he had no other choice as Louis walked out if the inn towards the Warrior Guild building in the inner city.
He soon got to the front of a giant building near the city gate, with two the sculpture of Leo Rue, one of the matyrs of the human race. A lot of people are coming out and going in to the building. The majestic building is the Warriors Guild Office in the city and it is the most guarded building in the city, more secure than even the Rosett Estate.
"This is more majestic than the picture in the library. CHAAI How will the one in the Kings Capital or the one in the SRC Central City look like?", Louis imagined as he made his way to the major entrance of the building very much guarded by Warriors.
"What do you come here for?", one of the beautiful receptionists asked Louis who was still deep in thoughts in a sweet voice.
The question brought Louis back to his senses. He stuttered, "I came to register for a Guild Card".
"Your ID Card, please".
Louis handed his ID card to the lady who went to a machine and swiped the card, the machine flashed green and in less than a minute another card with the Warrior Guild's logo was printed out and given to Louis.
"Do not loose this Card as to replace it requires a long process and of course a lot of money", Elsa said as he gave Louis his card.
It was just his personal details in front with a QR Code on the back. The Guild Card was of more importance and recognized globally by all Empires, the ID Card can only be tenable in the Kingdom.
Louis checked his Guild Card and the spaces in front of Power level and Occupation was left empty. Those two spaces needed a paid examination which of course Louis was able to afford as that was his first time.
"Miss Elsa, please where is the Examination for Scientist, taken?", Louis asked.
"Follow me", Elsa said as she was moved by Louis humility and politeness. She walked towards the elevator, Louis ran to join her before the elevator door closes.
The few seconds in the elevator was silent as neither Louis nor Elsa started a discussion.
"We are there", Elsa said ending the embarrassing moment. "This is the third floor, where qualification exams are held for Occupation", Elsa continued to explain.
"Understood".
Elsa took Louis to an old man dressed in a white garment, his long hair is already grey with a white goatee. "You are unlucky. This man is the only less busy examiner, he asks very hard questions", she murmured in a voice only her and Louis could hear.
"Good evening, Mr. Fallon", Elsa bowed as she greeted him.
"This boy wants to write the Scientist Occupation Qualification Examination Level 01 (SOQE 1)".
"Okay Elsa, you can go back. As for you boy follow me", Old man Fallon said to them as he turned back and walked towards one of the empty rooms.
The interview went on as Mr. Fallon was asking a lot of tricky questions. The questions were not hard for Louis as his knowledge level was already at the level five according to the classification in this ' world '. He just needed to get a means to update his knowledge and be more conversant with the world's equipments. He still occasionally missed few questions to avoid trouble. The tough interview section went on for thirty minutes before it finally ended.
"You are brilliant, boy", Mr Fallon said.
"Bring your Guild Card", he continues.
Louis handed him his Guild Card without hesitation. Mr Fallon laughed as he took the card to a kind of printing machine, he printed LEVEL 1 SCIENTIST on the card before he stamped it and signed.
Mr. Fallon returned the card to Louis who collected it with a cold face and went to the elevator.
"Interesting boy", Fallon murmured as Louis was going out.
Louis got to the ground floor, he went to ask for his one time entitlement as a Level One Scientist, a sum of Two hundred thousand Divis which was addrd to his ID Card. (ID card also serves the role of the bank card).
"Congratulations Louis. With your current level, you have the permission to visit the first four floors and to get a level one Warrior Communication Device (WCD 1), remember to download our app and register by scanning the QR Code on your card. You can get the function of each floor on the app", Elsa who just came back to the ground floor said to Louis.
"This WCD 1 is a gift from me", Elsa put in Louis's palm before he could reject it.
"Thank you Miss Elsa", Louis said.
Mission Completed, Louis left the office for the inn as he had already finished the purpose for coming to the Warrior Guild's Office.
