The Guild
Chapter 4
"So lugh, where are we going right now ?"
Lisa said
Lugh replied
"Huh, didn't I tell You? We are going to the guild "
Lisa
"Th-the guild?"
Lugh
"Yes the guild "
Lisa
"But why!"
Lugh
"To get you registered "
Lisa
"Do I need to get registered?"
Lugh
" you can have an identification card that is issued by the guild,
which will work everywhere"
Lisa
"I see"
"Oh and one more thing, take this"
Lugh said while handing her the
application form
"I have already filled it out for you,
so all that is left for you to do is the test that they will conduct"
Lugh said
Lisa Was looking at her name on the application form with a serious face,
Because looking at her name, made her memories resurface
Lisa asked lugh with a concerned look
"Will everything be ok in the test"
"Of course, you don't have to worry about a thing, you will ace that test"
Lugh replied with a reassuring smile
( time skip in front of the guild building)
Lisa
"Wow😲, so this is the guild building, it's so huge"
; I was a slave for 3 years,
and in those years I was being moved from house to house because of my disobedience,
all of the houses I went to were nobleman's houses,
back then I was emotionless,
I couldn't look at things for their beauty,
I used to look at everything negatively,
but it's different now because of lugh,
I am safe and to think that looking at a building like this would amaze me this much
Lugh
"Let's go in now"
They entered the building and Lisa looked at the interior with curiosity,
And lugh was observing Lisa
"Lisa, we are now going to the reception desk, so I advise you to be careful around the - receptionist "
Lugh said this while sweating
Lisa thought
"Did he just stutter? wait is that cold sweat....
just who is the receptionist to have made lugh to be so scared"
Lugh took Lisa to the reception desk, but no one was there,
Lisa looked at lugh who had a unique expression on his face
Lugh went near the desk and rang the bell which was kept on the desk 3 times
"He i-s coming"
Lugh said
Lisa thought
"another stutter?!!"
Suddenly she noticed a man coming from the black room behind the desk
And that man came out
He stood in front of Lisa
Lisa
"Wait, Wha???????"
Lugh
"So Lisa, he is the receptionist, his name is Lancelot" said lugh while stuttering a bit
In front of Lisa was a man with an unparalleled cute face, a short stature, and he had cat ears,
he was a demi-human
Lisa
"Lancelot?? Him?????!!"
Lisa thought
"HIS NAME AND HIS FACE DOEST MATCH AT ALL!!,
but he sure is cute"
Lancelot spoke up
Lancelot
"I heard from lugh about you in advance,
so let's start with the test without wasting any time"
Lisa
"Ha!,ohh!, sure!!"
Lancelot
" you only have to do one test since all the other formalities have been dealt with by lugh,
So the first test is gonna be to measure your mana capacity,
We will be using this mana measuring stone (MMS) to measure your mana,
all you have to do is hold the MMS and try to absorb the mana from the stone
in your body"
Lisa
"I see, that's pretty simple, can I start ?"
Lancelot
"Of course just hold the stone and try to absorb its mana"
Lisa took the stone and started to do as told
The Colourless stone started to fill up with blue light
Lancelot
"Mrs you have such a pretty mana tint,
MMS is being filled so fast, you seem to have good mana capacity"
The MMS is now filled with Lisa's mana and is shining with bright blue
Lancelot
"wait?!, its already filled?,
Then that would mean you have enough mana capacity and mana density to cast tier 2 spells"
The MMS is still trying to absorb this overwhelming amount of dense mana and it cracked
Lancelot
"IT CRACKED?!!!!!, HOW???!!!!!"
The stone failed to absorb Lisa's dense mana and it shattered completely
Now Lancelot's face had completely turned pale as if his soul had left his body
After finally realizing what had happened Lancelot sprinted somewhere screaming
"GRANDMASTER!!!"
Lisa's head was literally in smoke due to this messy situation
Lisa thought
"What is t-this mess?"
She then remembered what Lugjh said
when lugh said to Lisa with a reassuring smile
" you don't have to worry about a thing"
Flashback end
Lisa looks at lugh,
but he is looking in a random direction as if to avoid Lisa
Lisa thought
" I can't believe this guy, he is ignoring me intentionally,"
"Umm, excuse me, I am the guild master my name is Todd "
After hearing the guild master, Lisa looks in his direction.
Lisa
"A Monkey? Wait his name is Todd?
Yea Todd is the monkey demi-human who is also a guild master
Todd
"Young lady, you have QUITE the talent in the capacity and density of mana,
you have broken the MMS"
Lisa
" How does MMS work??"
Todd
"You dont know?, well its simple, MMS is used to determine three factors about one's mana,
the first is mana efficiency,
which is determined by how fast the stone is being filled with mana
The second is the mana capacity
which is determined by how much the stone is filled with mana
If 10 10%of the stone is filled with mana,
then it means your mana can be given a value of 100,
if its 50%then it means mana capacity is 500,
If it is 100%, then your mana capacity value is 1000,
normally no one has that much mana, so the stone stops there,
but in your case, the stone was still trying to absorb your mana,
that means the stone is incapable of determining your mana capacity
Lisa
"Does that mean I have a mana capacity value over 1000??"
Todd
"Yes, if u train hard you may even be able to cast high-tier magic in no time"
Lisa
"What about the mana density,? what is it"
Everyone there went silent but Todd who had been talking with a polite voice until now spoke in a serious tone
Todd
"Mana density is measured by how much the stone is glowing with mana
Sometimes there are cracks in the stone when it is unable to handle the mana density but in rare cases,
since the stone is very strong it does
not get a crack easily,
But your mana is very dense to the point that the stone shattered completely
Do you know how the mana density of a person increases "
Lisa
"I know mana capacity is increased by exhausting your mana,
I don't know how its density is increased. Todd
"Mana density represents the hardships of the person,
the trauma the person goes through,
The physical pain of the person,
The physical breakdown and breakdown
Factors like these make the mana denser"
Hearing this Lisa thought
"The hardships of the person densifies the mana,
If so then the mana I possess is that dense,
why? Those 3 years I was mana less,
my mana couldn't densify,
since I had none, to begin with,
Then that means--"
Todd
"I was wondering, just what have you been through to have such dense mana"
Todd said this with serious eyes
Lisa thought
"Is he suspecting me?
What do I do,
if this goes on I will find out,
my past will be revealed "
Lancelot whispers in Todd's ears
"grandmaster you should look who her companion is or we might be in big trouble"
Todd
"Huh!, what did u say, should I be scared-"
Todd looked at lugh who had hidden his presence until now,
lugh had a smile,
but his eyes were giving Todd a death glare
Todd turned pale😨 after realizing that Lisa is Lugh's partner
Then Todd tapped Lisa's shoulder and said
"YOU POOR THING,
YOU DON'T KNOW JUST HOW MUCH I PITY YOU FOR BEING FORCED TO BE IN A PARTY WITH THIS MONSTER
LANCELOT! JUST GIVE HER THE ID "
And Todd sprinted back to his office
LISA
"Just what is wrong with these people and their sprinting habit after meeting lugh"
Lancelot
"Dont mind the master he is just. scared of lugh,
since he also shattered the stone and is taking on S-rank monster extermination quests alone and completing them
Here is your ID
Lugh
"Let's go Lisa"
Lisa
"Oh yes"
"Well thanks for everything I will be going now "
Lisa said to Lancelot
Lancelot
"No worries ma'am, goodbye"
After they came out of the building
Lisa
"There is one thing that is still bothering me"
Lugh
"What is it ?"
Lisa
"I still don't understand why you were acting the way you did before meeting Lancelot,
and you even hid your presence,
initially, I thought that you were scared because the receptionist was a scary person"
Lugh
"No, it's not that, it's quite the opposite"
Lisa
"...."
Lugh
"He-s is too cute ..."
Lisa THOUGHT
"HE WAS ANXIOUS BECAUSE OF LANCELOT'S CUTE FACE !!!!"
Lugh remained silent the whole way back to the inn
At night after dinner, they both went to bed in their separate rooms,
Lisa was thinking something while on her bed
Lisa's thoughts
"There is no way my mana would be that dense,
So there is only one possibility,
This mana that I have is originally Lugh's so its density is from the hardships that lugh went through,
just how much did he go through "
Lisa got up from the bed
Lisa
"I need to get used to using this mana"
She slowly got out of the room to not wake up lugh and left the inn
Lisa thought
"I'll go take a small job from the guild "
After arriving at the guild
Lancelot
"Oh my, why did u come this late?"
Lisa
"I was having trouble sleeping so I thought a small quest would help 😅"
Lancelot
"Oh is that so, well job's are posted there on the bulletin board "
"Well I Suggest you take slime killing quest "
Lisa
"Slime killing quest?"
Lancelot
"They are pretty easy to kill, and when they are not on alert they move very slow"
Lisa thought
"Lugh said something thing similar as well"
Lisa then said
"I'll take this one "
Then after taking the quest, Lisa went toward the forest
Lisa
"This is the spot, but I dont see any slime, wait what's this noise"
Then she went to check where the voice was coming from
There she saw a slime
And followed the slime,
to find the opportunity to attack it,
and she saw a whole group of them,
And quickly hid in the bushes
LISA pov
"There is a whole group of slime's here
it moves by crawling but when alerted it starts jumping to run away,
quite annoying,
I can use a fireball to attack it"
She quickly left the cover and attacked a slime using fire magic
"FIReBALL"
But she still didn't know how to control the intensity of the fireball,
So this fireball wiped out the whole group of slime with a small explosion
While the Shockwave from the explosion was blowing her hair
Lisa thought
"Wait?!, what, isn't FIReBALL supposed to be a basic spell"
This explosion surprised Lisa
Lisa
"If I stay with lugh my standards of what's normal will be messed up", then she sighed
Lisa suddenly started to get sleepy
Lisa
"What is going on,? Is it because of using mana? no that can't be pos---"
Lisa fell unconscious there in the forest in the middle of the night
.
.
.
.
.
Then two people started to approach Lisa's unconscious body
They started talking
One guy said
" We finally caught her,
The captain will be so happy "
Other guy said
"Yeah, we might be favored more by the captain,
Hey let's not waste any time,
Let's pick her up and leave before that boy finds out "
Other guy said
"Yes let's, do it, quickly"
.
.
.
.
They took Lisa and went deep into the forest
