In the throne room now stood the group of four.
Sena saintess
Arthur knight
Hood archer
Hali mage
Three new additions to the heroic party. Ones that were chosen by legendary weapons.
Sena looked at Hali, a young boy who was young in the group and a small one also. He held his wand that was as big as him, and standing next to Arthur and Hood didn't help; they were, after all, outstanding for their age.
With a warm smile, Sena extended her hand to Hali. 'it is my pleasure to meet you, Hali,' she said, her voice filled with genuine kindness.
P-princess. Hali answered while bowing, as he was far from relaxed and comfortable.
Now, it was time for them to leave the castle.
King went through many options, and the only way for them to grow powerful without Demon God noticing too early while gaining experience was by becoming adventurers.
They would pretend to be an ordinary party on newcomers and slowly rank up the ladder until they reach S rank.
Sena bid farewell for now to her father, Autricie, and mother, Niva, as she still found it hard to ask about bloodline. Part of her wanted to forget what happened that day in the hospital.
The only person in the party who could possibly be recognized by people is Hood, but he only knew high-ranking nobles; Sena was hidden for a long time, Arthur was, for most people, just a guard, and Hali was a novice mage from the magic school.
After traveling for a week, they arrived at Grundel, a free city full of adventurers and merchants. Grundel isn't part of any kingdoms and powers. They are ruled by S-rank adventurers as they all get voted in the city council. After traveling together for a week, they all got more familiar and friendly with each other, especially Hali, whom they had just met.
Okay, let's go and apply to the guild as new adventurers.
They entered the guild, just one of many branches. It wasn't a place taken care of like a palace or noble house; it looked more like a bar.
They came to the receptionist as Sena asked.
What do we need to do to become adventurers? She knew the answer, but they wanted to be extra careful not to be considered an experienced group from the beginning.
Take these tasks for beginners and complete them. Said the woman without any enthusiasm in her voice.
Sena took the paper she was given.
The task was to be part of the group that would clear gobline nests around the city.
The group is meeting tomorrow.
Let's go and find a place where we will be staying. Said Hood.
They were waiting in front of the carriages near the city gates tomorrow morning.
Soon, groups started to appear, and almost all were novice adventurers except for one leading them, Joklem. He was a C rank tasked by the guild to help during the first mission. One by one, people came to him so he could write them down that they appeared before the start. If they survived and completed task, then an adventurer's license was the reward.
First, Arthur came to him.
Name kid. Joklem was a bold, scowling man.
Arthur.
After saying his name, he left instantly. Arthur did not try to hide the fact that he did not like this man.
Next
Hood came up and said his name without surname.
A pretty boy wants to be an adventurer, huh? Hood ignored his comments as he passed by him, just like Arthur.
He barely looked at Hali as he just wrote him down.
When Sena's turn came up, he didn't rush at all. He feasted his eyes from her white hair and blue eyes to her boots, not trying to miss anything while staring.
Sena.
Oh, what a beautiful name. If you want a stronger party, just come to me.
I will be fine. Sena ended this as soon as possible so Arthur and Hood don't have time to react.
After finishing everything, Joklem led newcomers' carriages to transport them to the mountains where the goblins were.
Sena and her group were in the carriage with a man and a woman a little older than them.
It is nice to meet you, said a woman in a friendly tone.
My name is Lucia, and this is my fiancee, Klem. A Muscular man with a big sword smiled at them.
I'm Sena. Those are my companions: Arthur, Hood, and Hali.
Oh, so young and already trying to become adventurers.
Sena smiled as she asked.
What about you? What do you two want to become adventurers.
A license makes traveling and finding a job much more accessible, which is essential for our future. Klem added.
They also pay more when you have experience.
By the way, did you guys hear about Joklem? They said he was thrown out of his own party for trying to sleep with some of the members and now needs to work as a dog for the guild as punishment. Klem said as he was laughing, Arthur and Hood also shared a laugh after hearing this.
Soon, everyone arrived at the location. Everyone opened up more during the trip except for Hali, who was still shy.
Joklem separated all parties and said that two goblin heads per person are needed for qualification.
Sena and her party went to the cave where the goblins were and attacked instantly; goblins weren't on their level, and they didn't need to worry about them. This could also help Hali to gain confidence.
Sena watched him as he was summoning fire and burning goblins; his mana definitely wasn't a problem. He just didn't realize how strong he really was. After defeating goblins and taking their heads, they were able to go back.
Wait, Lady Sena and Arthur. We won't return so fast. Let's wait for a little more. This is our first task, after all, and that bold doesn't really like us.
Hood, you need to stop adding lady, just Sena.
He nodded with a blush on his face.
