Adventurer Registration [Pt 2]

"Hello, young man."

Burke was seated behind a more distinguished desk, her chair also looking more comfortable, then the one she used to occupy a few days ago.

She had her own office on the First Floor, and her job was a more specialized version of the receptionist's duties.

High-profile cases went to her, and she approved. She also dealt with top-class Adventurers who couldn't bother standing in front of an ordinary reception.

Based on her ten-year experience, it was something she could do pretty easily—and she did her job flawlessly well.

She enjoyed it too.

Burke had her own space, and since she wasn't as busy as before, she had more than enough time to think.

"Hello. May I have a seat?"

"Please do." Burke smiled, her eyes gleaming behind her glasses as she saw the handsome blonde walk towards her.

He had a serious look on his good-looking face, and Burke couldn't help but fawn over all of his manly features.

Jet was a lot more good-looking, just going off her memory of him, but this blonde was incredible in his own right.

"My name is Sebas. I'm to take the Heroic Rank Test, so I was told to meet you to sort out my details."

"Oh? This is quite the season." Burke chuckled in pleasant surprise as she opened her drawer to bring out a form. "Have you gone through initial registration already?"

"Not yet. The person attending to me said I can do everything here."

"Yeah… I suppose."

Burke brought out a few more papers and placed them on her desk.

"Fill these." She said with a broad smile plastered on her face while keeping her gaze on him.

Not long after, the Sebas fellow obeyed and gradually did so. One look at his pristine handwriting told her that he was a distinguished fellow.

She didn't realize it when she licked her lips.

"So… a Heroic Rank Adventurer, huh?" Burke said with a relaxed grin. "Any reason why you want to go so far so quickly?"

"Well, I am not the only one who has done this, right?"

As Sebas asked, she slowly shook her head. "But only one man has been able to succeed on his first ever Test."

"Well… I look up to that man."

Sebas' determined face and dreamy smile caused Burke's heart to skip a beat. She found herself grinning a little stupidly as she nodded.

"That's not a bad thing. Jet is a pretty admirable man…"

After all, if it wasn't for the epiphany she received after her encounter with him, she wouldn't have had the courage to seek out more.

The reason she remained as a base receptionist was to meet as many men as possible in her line of work. However, after realizing that she was just wasting her time, and the man she met weren't the ones she desired—neither were they the ones who desired her—she chose to change.

'I don't meet as many people in this position, but that's a good thing.'

She could filter out all the useless men from her life, hence making more time for the men who were truly decent candidates—like the one in front of her.

And because she now had a position of authority, they wouldn't be able to look down on her.

"Indeed. I heard you were the one who filled out his form. Also Lady Lux's." Sebas said with a nod.

"Yeah. It was a memorable last moment in my previous work station."

"If you don't mind, while I fill this form, could you tell me more about Sir Jet?" He asked.

The man really had a brilliant gleam in his beautiful eyes. How could she refuse him when he spoke to her like that?

"Well, what do you want to know?" A broader smile appeared on her face. "Besides, since you want to take to take the Heroic Rank Test, you plan on passing, right?"

"Of course."

"Then wouldn't it be better to ask him yourself, once you become a Heroic Rank Adventurer?"

Sebas looked a bit shy once she mentioned that, so she instantly knew what was going on.

'You want to know more about your hero before meeting him, huh? What an adorable man…' He was just her type.

"Well, where to start." Burke grinned, interlocking both fingers as she parted her lips.

"Jet is…"

*********

A lot of irrelevant information was added to the mix, but Adonis pretty much got the gist of things.

'This woman doesn't really know anything.'

It seemed like he had wasted most of his time learning things that were unnecessary, or irrelevant in his investigation of the two evils that threatened the city.

'The only useful thing I got was their appearance, but I could have gotten it from anywhere.'

The girl seemed pretty identical, for the most part, but the man was completely different from the descriptions of Jet from his past life.

'He has a pale skin and handsome face this time? In the past he had a horrible scar on his face, with a menacing aura.'

Their attires were also different—and this applied to Lux as well.

'He's dressed as a gentleman now, but he was more like a Dark Mage back then. As for the girl, while her appearance and attire's design was mostly the same, she was dressed in all-

black as well.

—Same as Jet.

'Maybe they're different Dragons this time. It would explain why they're early an look different.'

But what could have sparked such a change? If Adonis had to guess, it would be the appearance and death of the Dragon Commander in the Capital.

The Alliance was still yet to face the consequences of doing such a thing, so Adonis had assumed that the Dragons were unaware of such a thing happening.

But now… he wasn't so sure.

'The effects have begun to ripple, huh?' He thought to himself as he finally finished writing on all his Forms.

'What a mess.'
