9 Chapter9: Becoming An Adventurer

Not long after we left the Inn, we finally arrived at the Adventurers Guild.

[ and here we are, this is the Adventurers Guild at Citrine City. It's pretty big compared to the other Guilds of other cities. ] Yugo-san said while admirably looking at it.

What stood in front of us was a large yellow building. It's the biggest building I've seen in the city so far, there's a symbol hanging on top of the roof, I guess it's the symbol for the Guild itself.

[ The color yellow, represents the city while that symbol is from the emblem of the family that owns the Guild. ] Katherine-san explained.

[ there's a family that owns the guild? ] I thought Adventurers Guilds are supposed to be owned by a company or a country.

[ you didn't know? they control almost all The Adventurers Guilds in the world. They are also the most wealthy, most powerful, and most known family in the world, so as they say. ] wow, owning the Adventurers Guild would of course make you rich, but being the richest and the most powerful?

[ Must be nice... ]

[ of course, they can even build their own country with that kind of money and power, not to mention that they also control all of the adventurers, they can already have them as their army. ] wow... the richest family in the world. I wonder if I can ever have the chance to meet them.

[ well anyway, let's go inside now. Our party also have a mission that needs to be accomplished fast. ] party? does that mean that Katherine-san and Yugo-san also have other members?

[ Just follow our lead and you'll be fine. ] Katherine-san then opened the door, and I followed behind her and Yugo-san.

The inside was large, But all I can see were people wearing armors and weapons.

[ Hey, look at that! Katherine-sama and Yugo-san brought a new guy.]

[ look at that guy's look. Is he from a different race or something? ]

[ not human? ]

[ Idiot, do you think that a noble girl would bring a guy with different race with her? ]

[ But he doesn't look that strong.]

[ Must be an errand boy.]

I heard chatters from around us. Wow, they really mistook me for an errand boy, but to also mistook my race.

I followed behind Yugo-san and Katherine-san until we finally reach the counter.

[ oh! Katherine-san, what can I do for you today? ] at the counter, there was a beautiful receptionist with blue hair.

[ I just want to help Haruto-san here. He said he wants to register as an adventurer and as a coincidence, we live in the same inn. So I want to help him as his neighbor and senpai. ] as I thought so, Katherine-san is really nice when she's not drunk.

[ Is that so? then, we can arrange that now. So is that the guy?] she pointed at me while looking at me as if she's trying to analyze every single part of my body.

[ Yes he is, why don't you introduce yourself Haruto-kun? ]

[ Yes, My name is Haruto Yuki, I'm from a different country, that's why my appearance is like this, but I hope you treat me well. ] I introduce myself as such, including the made up lie that "I'm from a different country" just to avoid getting asked about it.

[ well, if you want to register as an adventurer, there will be an examination to evaluate if you are qualified enough to be one. Magic is not included in the examination, they will only test your abilities and skills. ] magic is not included in the examination? why is that? I thought that this world revolves around magic?

[ Well I say that magic will be not included, but it would be measured, and 50% of the qualification to become an adventurer is based on that. ]

[ ... ] what?

[ oh..... I forgot to tell you in advance, but Haruto-kun doesn't have any magic.] Yugo-san said from behind us.

[ ... What!? ] both Katherine-san and the receptionist was shocked.

[[[ Bwahahahaha!!! ]]] suddenly, the crowd from behind us burst and laughed like it's the end of their world.

[ what a joke! is this really true? I haven't seen any human in my life with no magic! ] A good looking guy with red hair suddenly shouted while still laughing at me.

[ how can a guy like you, obviously caught the interest of Katherine? Katherine! what did you see in this guy? I'm a 1000% more better than this guy, and just look at his face! is he from a breed of orcs or something? Hahahaha, what a guy. Look I'll pay you 5 copper coins if you tell me how you caught Katherine's attention like that, even introducing you to the guild like this. ] What an arrogant guy. I don't want any trouble so I'm just gonna ignore him.

[ just ignore him Yuki-kun, It's just that guy is trying to get Katherine sama's attention since she became an adventurer. ] Yugo-san whispered to me,

yes, ignoring him is what I'm trying to do.

[ Hey bastard!! are you trying to ignore me? ya being arrogant now? ] The fiery guy suddenly tried to walk towards me but he was stopped by Yugo-san midway.

[ Stop this kid, don't try to impress everyone by trying to beat up a newbie.]

[ huh!? trying to impress everyone? No! you fucking idiot! I'm just gonna teach that guy a lesson for being arrogant! ] wow, I just tried to ignore him to get away from trouble and yet...

[ Well anyway, even though I don't have any magic, I can hunt some small and weak monsters, so I guess I can take easy rank-F missions to earn some money. ] I looked away from the red-faced guy and looked at the receptionist and said that.

Swwooosshhh!!

A punch suddenly came from my left side, but I dodge it at the last moment.

[ Hey!!! ] I looked at where it came from... yes, it's from that red-faced, red-haired guy.

[ You bastard! not only ignoring me, but also dodging my punch!? ya really being arrogant now. Weak bastards like you should just stay and take anything thrown at you! ] just what is this guy saying?

[ hey look, I dodged it on reflex so I won't give you my sorry for doing so, and if I ever took that punch, it's like I'm saying I don't have pride at myself at all. ] Isn't that obvious? Everyone would dodge an attack thrown at them.

[ !!! You really fucking basta- ] Just as he was about to come at me again, He was punched in the face by Katherine-san.

...

[ wow.... ] every one that was noisily laughing earlier was now silent. I looked at the guy who was picking a fight with me. He was now 4 meters away from where he was before trying to attack me. Katherine-san is really scary...

[ Well anyway, can you examine him now? we also have our party's mission yet to be finished, so I'll leave him to you. He can also have my recommendation, so you can make an exception for him right?] Katherine-san broke the silence and said so.

[ ... ye-yeah, I will do so. ] the receptionist who was full of life earlier was now pale.

[ well then, take care of your self now Haruto-kun, we will separate from here so be careful not to get into trouble. ] Katherine said so with a beautiful smile as if nothing happened.

[ ye-yes, thank you for taking care of me. ] I replied nervously as I don't know what to reply to her.

[ yes, if you have any problems, just ask for me here, I will help you. ]

[ Yes, thank you.] Just what did I do to receive this kind of treatment from her? Or she's just really kind... at least when she's not drunk.

[ we'll leave you now Yuki-kun, We won't be back for a while, maybe for three days. ]

[ what?... ] Katherine-san suddenly stop moving.

[ For three days!? ] Katherine-san shouted.

[ yeah yeah, so come here now Katherine-sama.] Yugo-san then dragged Katherine-san away.

[ NOOO!!! ] well I guess that's how it is, I'm alone again now with all these gazes directed to me.

[ the-then come with me, Haruto-san.] The receptionist called my name as I was looking at Katherine-san and Yugo-san getting farther and farther away.

[ Yes! ] I'm getting excited. Now, I wonder what kinds of adventurers are waiting for me.
