Becoming an Adventurer!

Stone and Kretoss finally reach their destination, The building was as bustling as ever.

After they entered the building everyone looked at Stone in a very strange way possible.

'That guy isn't normal!' This single thought raced in every single person's mind who knew about Kretoss and his temperament.

After Stone was in front of the Reception Kretoss waved his hand with a light smile and said.

"Good luck out there, Young Friend!"

'Young friend!' A gasping sound reverberated in the room.

"Thank you, Old Kretoss!" Stone totally ignored the gazes of the Adventurers and receptionists alike, as he already knew the reason they were like this.

'Not surprising!' Stone shacked his head inwardly.

"Good Morning, Miss Emilia!" Stone was lucky to find that there was no one waiting for his turn in front of Emilia's reception.

"Oh, Good Morning! How can I help you?" The surprised Emilia calmed herself and with a slight smile, she repeated her usual sentence.

"I would like to become an adventurer!"

"Very well then! Please follow me!" With a warm smile, she guided Stone towards the backyard of the building.

"This will be where you will have to pass the test. So... The test will be divided into two, the first test will be a demonstration of your skills, You can think of it as your role/type as an adventurer. We can use it to know where to assign you if you decide to join a party or if you're invited to a special expedition."

"As for the second test, it will be just a duel between you and a Grade-10 Instructor Adventurer, It's just to see if you're qualified to be an Adventurer."

"Welp, Please demonstrate your skills on those dummies, while we wait for the Instructor who'll be here in a minute."

"Alright!" Stone then unsheathed his already summoned 'Shadow' Blade, As for the sheath he bought it with his armor.

He slowly bent down a little, Clutched his Blade's Handle very tightly, Fixed his breathing, Focused on his target...

And with a *Boom* Stone Dashed leaving a heavy footprint as he was already in front of the Dummy.

Using his [Rotating Dash] his speed was increased by 30% as well as his flexibility giving him even more momentum to deal a critical strike.

*Swishh* *Slash*

Stone used his [Slash] Skill to have more slashing power, He landed steadily and the Dummy's head fell right after.

'Splendid, I never thought he was this skillful, He will certainly be able to have me get a pay raise for recruiting him.' Emilia was Overjoyed by Stone's Ability.

"Do you have any other technique?" Emilia said a bit excited, The stronger and more promising this newbie is, The higher will be her pay rise and she will also benefit if he somehow becomes famous.

"No, other than fighting with my blade that's all I can do!" Stone obviously lied.

He was also not planning to show any other skills, He wants to only use 2~3 and hide the others as it will be certainly helpful later.

No one knows what Fate holds for you.

Emilia wasn't disappointed, Even if Stone only had a few techniques it was still good, even with those techniques he will be able to make a name for himself with a bit of effort, And when he levels up and learn more techniques later he will become even better.

Furthermore, Youths of his age in this village know close to no technique.

"I like your Blade Art, It's steady, basic, and not too flashy, also it can be used by anyone who got a good understanding of Swords in general. Can I note it down and put it on the Guide Book? It may be helpful later, and we're also trying to fill the Guide book with some basic techniques to prevent meaningless deaths of our newbie adventurers, and strengthen them even further." Emilia said with a smile anything that can bring her profit will be worth it, Of course, Stone will also get a share of the payment, it will also rise depending on the popularity.

For now, he will have 0.4% including the Chicken Hunting Strategy, Techniques are hard to come by so he was given +0.3% of the whole Guide Book's price, Also the book's price will continue to rise as it gets filled with more and more info and techniques.

The current price of the Full Guide Book is 80 F.C, it's very expensive for newbies but it's 100 times worth it.

So Stone will be getting, 3.2 F.C from every book sold, So for every 10 Books, he will get exactly 32 F.C!

Furthermore, They can just directly buy a page from the Guide or a specific Info/Technique.

If they do that, Stone will actually get a fixed percentage of 50%.

As for how a Technique's price gets increased, It's simple, for every 100 Buyers the price increases by 1 F.C!

Stone smiled a bit, Although he won't lack money outside this world, It was a good idea to get some more cash, Furthermore, He wasn't planning to live depending on his parents anymore.

With a slight nod, Stone accepted her request.

Yes, He wasn't planning to sell every skill he has, But he's the only one here who knows that although it's easy to replicate the technique, they won't be able to bring out its full potential.

Maybe for people who got the same skills as his, Adding to the fact that... He only learned it in a short time because of his talent and [Weapon and Martial Mastery] Skill of his, It was fine to reveal it to the public.

Basic skills can be deadly, But only when it's in the hands of someone who knows his stuff.

Stone wrote the movements and breathing patterns on a note back that belongs to Emilia, Although some moves were changed here and there, there were a lot of similarities.

He named it, [Darkening Slash]!

The reason he put Darkening on the name was that the first time he used this technique It was against the Black Chickens.

Black Slash doesn't go well and Dark Slash too, so he adjusted it a bit and gave it the [Darkening Slash] name.

He found it a bit cringe and sounds childish, but it will do well, for now. It will also attract more buyers this way.

Emilia Smiled, Although she won't be getting a lot, But, depending on the popularity of the Technique as well as its Creator she will be able to get some Coins or even more a pay rise.

She was currently dancing in the clouds.

Although she looked calm and a bit distant from the outside, she was just a bit too insecure, After all, Many young girls of her age get harassed or even more almost every day.

He gave her the note and relaxed his muscles a bit, Although not too much he used a bit of energy to use that technique again!

Right then, A red-haired handsome middle-aged man lazily came out of a room from the other side of the backyard.

He had a fierce battle aura around him As if he was prepared for battle every single moment, which contradicted his lazy behavior.

Then...

*Fwoosh*

He vanished!

*Clank*

"Haha! not bad little guy, You seem to have mastered the basics, But you have close to no experience in battles. Guess it's just talent then!"

*Swishh*

*Clank*

Stone was pushed back a few meters, He was caught off guard, Totally off guard!

If it wasn't for his body suddenly moving he would have been badly injured.

'This guy isn't joking around!'
