10 minutes later.
All the bounty hunters were laying on the ground moaning and groaning in pain after they were beaten black and blue by me.
[Notice: You have acquired 11,000 Experience Points]
"Woohoo! look at all these yummy experience points?" Bunny rejoiced.
"What are experience points used for anyways?"
"They can be used to upgrade the system of course, you currently have 27,000 experience."
"How many do I need to upgrade the system?"
"Around a million."
Gee! Seriously a Million! This system is both expensive and perverse. I turned to the receptionist lady who shrieked and shuddered when she looked into my black eyes with blue pupils.
"Am I qualified now?" I queried.
"Yes, I'll go and get your papers right away," she responded then scurry away.
My eyes returned to its original human colour and I waited on a stood by the counter. A minute later she came back out with a paper and a machine that looks like some kind of laptop without the keyboards.
"Fill out this form and when you're done, place the paper on this glass," she instructed.
The paper asked for a name, I wrote Gemini, It asked for Class so I wrote Gunslinger, It asked for my signature and blood seal.
"What do you need my blood for?" I queried.
"This device will use your blood to measure your strength and automatically imprints that information on your card."
This sounds like I'm checking for HIV or something.
I pricked my index finger and a single drop of blood came out. Even though I'm an Automation, I have organs that function like an ordinary human body and blood circulating through my wire-like veins. I dropped the blood in the box and headed the paper back to the woman. She took the paper, placed it in the device and closed it.
"It will only take a few minutes before the card is ready," she explained.
A few minutes later.
She opened the device and a black card came out.
"A black card?" the receptionist was bewildered.
"Is that low?"
"No, black is the highest card a Bounty hunter or Mercenary can get, it's been 20 years since this kind of card was last seen," she responded then she took up the card and gasped in shock when she looked at it. "No way."
"What?"
"Strength: SS, Magic: SS, AGI: SS, Dexterity: SS! No way! rank: SS!"
"Is that bad?"
"No, that's incredible, more than incredible. The highest rank in this world is S rank but you've managed to reach double S just who in the world are you?"
I glanced at Bunny.
"Oh I forgot to tell you master, that even though your avatar S ranked in the system your rank in this world is SS meaning that you're amongst the strongest in the world right now!"
"Why didn't you tell me that sooner?!"
"I forgot, whoopsie Hehehehe."
You damn kangaroo!
"Excuse me, who are you talking to?" the receptionist queried.
This is bad, if people find out what rank I am this will make my mission even more impossible. I took out my sword, then pointed it at the woman's neck and she shrieked pathetically. She was quivering with fear, sweating and looking at me with a pained expression on her face.
"Host, you can't kill her or you'll be penalised," Bunny warned.
Tch, Fuck this annoying.
I pulled my sword back and rested it on the table. "I was going to kill you but it would be meaningless. Listen, I want you to do me a favour, will you keep this a secret for me pretty please," I requested.
"What why? With your power, you could easily become the strongest bounty hunter this world has ever seen, right now your strength is equal to the hero's or even the dragon lord's."
"I know but I don't want to be famous. I'm trying to find the people who killed my mother, that's why I became stronger and decided to become a Bounty Hunter," I explained, then I started to cry. "If this got out then I'll never mind the man who killed my mother, I won't be able to avenge her death, I don't want him to get away. Please help me."
I kept crying, removing my mask and wiping the tears from my eyes.
"Wow, Master your acting skills are devilish."
Can it!
"My parents were killed as well and even to this day I don't know who did it. Every day I get tormented by the same nightmare so that's why I'm going to help you."
I stopped crying and glanced at her.
"I'll keep this a secret but you have to promise when you find your parent's killer, you'll be finished with this life and live as a normal girl," she requested as she handed me the card.
"Yes," I responded with a smile.
She blushed and relaxed with a satisfied smile on her face. "So adorable."
[Notice Side Mission Complete: You have acquired 1000 Experience Points and 10 Card Points]
I've completed the mission.
"Oh, here, this is for you."
I took up a big of silver and gold coins that I robbed from the bounty hunters then gave it to the receptionist.
"You're giving this to me?" She asked in bewilderment.
"Yes, it's a thank you gift."
"It's the money you took from the bounty hunters."
"Hehehehe."
"Don't you need it more than me?"
"I don't need money, what I need is information."
"Information?"
"Yes, a group of people are targeting Princess Elizabeth, do you know why that is?" I queried.
"Hmm..." she began to ponder. "A lot of people are targeting Princess Elizabeth, for her body and for a chance to blackmail the king. However, there has been a rumour that the King favours Princess Elizabeth over Petra and that filled Petra with jealousy. I even heard Princess Elizabeth will soon be betrothed to a prince from another kingdom. So if someone is targeting Princess Elizabeth it would have to be Petra."
I see... Those are some valuable information, I suspect Princess Petra as well.
"Thanks for the information, I'll see you around," I got up and walked away.
"Remember what I tell you."
"I know, don't worry."
After leaving the guild, I returned outside where the sun was bright, the streets were busy and everyone was loud. I went into a back alley where I changed back in my male form and headed back into the streets.
"Let's see."
"What are you going to do now, master?" Bunny queried.
I smirked and glanced at her. "What does it look like I'm going to do? In a fantasy story, the main character must travel the kingdom and get to know the place. First order of business, find some clothes," I informed.
With my handa in my pocket, I walked through the streets.
"Look at that boy."
"He's dressed weird."
"He looks so handsome, just like a prince."
"Master, looks like your true form is getting praise, Fufufufu," Bunny chuckled happily.
We found a small clothes store and walked inside. There was a girl who was polishing the counter, she had red coloured hair tied in a ponytail and yellow eyes. The bell on the door rang when we walked in and she turned to me with a smile on her face.
"Hello and welcome to the Lovalia Clothes and fabric store . How can we help you?"
"I'm looking for clothes," I responded.
"What kind of clothes are you looking for?"
"Something casual for day to day wear."
"Then allow me to show you."
She showed me all the clothes she had and honestly none of them suit my style.
"These aren't what I'm looking for," I stated.
"I'm sorry if we don't have anything that will suit you, but if you would like, we can make clothes that suit your taste."
"Interesting, then I have some ideas for you, do you have some pen and some paper?"
"Ugh... sure."
She went around the back then came back with a quill pen and papers. I used the Quilt pen to draw some t-shirts, pants, hooded jackets and a vest.
"These will do..."
I handed back to her the papers and she skipped through them.
"Some of these clothes are unusual."
"Can you make them or not?"
She smiled. "It's a change but I live for the challenge. I'll make these closed for you and get back to you right away."
"How long will that take?"
"Considering, gathering materials, trials and errors and working off time... about two weeks."
"Two weeks!"
I can't wear the same clothes and underwear for two weeks.
"Hehehehe. Looks like you'll have to buy some female clothes especially when you have a female form. This is the perfect time to get used to your body fufufufu," Bunny teased.
"Right, can I get two dresses and two female underwear," I requested as I sighed.
The woman looked at me scornfully. "You're not going to wear them are you?"
"They're for my sister!" I barked.
"Oh, I'll get them right away."
Yes, I am going to wear them. To think that the great Neon would be reduced to wearing womens clothes. I'm so embarrassed, I think I'm going to cry.
