Chapter 7: Becoming an Adventurer

The morning after I cured Reno’s older sister Minya and won their trust, the two came to the inn. Reno greeted me with a big smile full of energy, her beautiful features glistening in the morning sun.

“Good morning, Mister Lars!”

“Good morning, Lars.”

“Oh, good morning. Reno, Minya, it’s nice to see you.”

“What are you doing today?”

“I’ve been thinking about it since yesterday, but I think I’ll become an adventurer. If you go into a dungeon, Minya, I would be able to form a party with you. I can also use it as an ID card.”

Minya’s black hair shook as she nodded her head. “I agree. If I vouch for you, Lars, you can become an adventurer.”

“Thank you, Minya.”

“As expected of my sister!”

“Well then, should we go now?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve paid for protection the rest of this month, so I’m going to scavenge in the dump!” Reno said with a smile. After saying goodbye, Minya and I headed to the Adventurers’ Guild.

The Adventurers’ Guild was a beautiful white building along Main Street. I went inside with Minya following me. The woman at the reception desk glanced at us once before returning to the documents in her hands. Then, her eyes widened and did a double take at the woman behind me.

“Eh?! Lady Minya of the Black Gale?”

The reaction surprised me – Minya seemed to have been a powerful person with a title.

Minya stretched, flicking back her cat ears, and said with a clear face, “Yes. I’ve fully recovered, so I’m here again.”

“Ah, yes! Please come this way! Whatever can I do for you today?”

I went up to the counter, “I’m here to become an adventurer.”

“If you want to become an adventurer, you need to train at a training center and then take an exam, or be recommended by a high-ranked adventurer… But either way, the registration fee is 5,000 kali.”

“Ah, I’ll vouch for him. Lars has the ability to work as an adventurer.”

“Okay, Lady Minya! I’ll get his paperwork together right away.” The woman at the reception desk rushed to the back room, while talking to her boss, she gathered a crystal ball and papers.
Minya, on the other hand, was staring at an adventurer further inside the guild with dark eyes. Somehow, I could feel the cold bloodlust emanating from Minya’s toned limbs.

I softly asked, “What’s wrong, Minya?”

“Hm. There they are. How unpleasant.” Following Minya’s gaze, I looked towards the back of the room.

The back of the guild was laid out like a tavern, and there were some men drinking at the bar. Men many times larger than me, with thick and protruding muscles. Just by looking at them, I could tell they were strong, veteran warriors. They were making a lot of noise while drinking sake.

Quietly, I asked, “Did they hurt Minya?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll help you with them, but somewhere more private later.”

“Thank you,” Minya raised her black tail and nodded.

The receptionist returned and placed a crystal ball on the counter. “Please gently hold the crystal, I will record your information onto your adventurer card.”

“Of course,” I grabbed the ball obediently. It emitted a faint, pure blue light as the woman filled out the card.

She handed me my new ID. “Yes, here you go, you’ve completed the registration. Since this is an official document, please do not lose it.”

“Understood.”

“Then 5000 kali, please.”

“Here,” After handing over five gold coins, I examined my new card. Various numbers and skills were written on it.

I looked at the card and tilted my head.

“E means E rank, so when I level up, my abilities will increase by 0.1, huh. Weak… Hmmm?” I couldn’t make heads or tails of some of the writing. Since I was unsure, I asked the woman, “Um, the notation here is strange.”

“Did I register you incorrectly? Ah, it’s likely that you’re forcing yourself to use magic even though you don’t have an affinity? Since the writing is wrong – well, I can’t adjust it here, so please use it for now. Once I figure out why it came out abnormal, it may be possible to issue you a new one.”

“Haha, I understand.”

Looking at it again, I notice my occupation was unemployed. Not even a villager. Even registering as an adventurer didn’t remove my joblessness. No matter how hard I try to get a job, it will be in vain. Even simple [Heal] spells took time to cast and I still couldn’t fight. Wow.

Seeing my depressed expression, Minya came to my side. “Then Lars, do you want to go to a dungeon now?”

“Yes, please.”

“Then, let’s form a party.”

Minya handed both cards to the receptionist. The woman put the two cards on top of each other and put them in a press. With a bang, ‘Party’ was written on the cards. Perhaps because of the party effect, I was able to sense what direction Minya was in.

After that, Minya took me to the dungeon in the hills outside the city. She lifted her chin and strode majestically down Main Street. Watching her from behind, her long tail swayed and swayed, and she had the air of a strong, confident warrior.
