As Ingrid enter the mercenary guild he go to the counter and talk at the lady sitting inside that appears to be a employee in there.
"Hi I would like to get registered as a mercenary I would like to get my license as fast as possible!"
The lady look at him with disgust as Ingrid look like a beggar taking a dangerous job just to make a living.
"Hey girl are you sure your in the right place being a Mercenary is no joke go back where you belong and just beg at the street!"
Ingrid look at the lady with cold eyes as if he would kill her at any moment before Ingrid unsheath his katana a man suddenly shout and try to stop Ingrid from killing the lady.
"Hey!. Do you know where at you follow me I'll test you if your fit for being a mercenary!"
Ingrid follow the man to the back of the building and get to see and somewhat Like a arena made out of white tiles.
"Girl what's your name?"
"My name it's Ingrid? And I'm not a girl I'm a man!"
"Ohh sorry my bad"

"Ok now that we're here I'll test you you'll be facing the monsters that we caught last week they are really starving so it will be hard for you!"
Ingrid look at the man showing seriousness in his face.
"Bring it on or whatever!"
"Ok for sure. But be careful!"
Before they start people started taking a sit at the side as if they are excited on what will be the outcome of the test some are excited because they want to see Ingrid died on the spot some of them are gambling on will he succeed or not.
"Boy what kind of beast you want to fight?"
"What's the hardest?"

The man is amused on what Ingrid decision what will be he laugh on what a foolish decision he just make.
"You'll die. But it's not my fault"
'in really not sure if his confident or just brave his muscles are thin and he might just end up dead on the spot!'
"Release it"
'i need to push my self to the limits since I can't use 'it' on my own Accord'
Before releasing the blood wolf the people started betting on what will be the out come as expected they think Ingrid will just die in the spot without fight and they started voting on Ingrid will fail but only two person bet on him that his gonna pass it.
"The gate is opening I need to calm down"
