Chapter 84 - 83 - License

"First you fill this out." Rose took a form and also a pen: "You can sit at one of the tables to fill out, when you're done bring it to me."

"Right." I went to one of the tables and sat down, some adventurers were looking at me looking surprised. Perhaps it is really rare for any child to join the guild.

But I didn't mind that and started filling out the form.

Name, a weapon, age, type of magic you can use, it's simple things. I was able to fill everything in quickly and gave it to Rose.

"All right, so you use a sword. Can you use two types of magic? Fire and wind, that's good."

"Well, but I haven't trained much magic yet, but I can use a sword well." Of course, it was a lie, but I can't just say that my magic is at such a high level.

"How did you find out that you were able to use magic? Was it your parents?"

"That's right, my mother can use magic and she helped me."

"Amazing. But now let's move on. I'll write a few things here and then I'll need your signature." Isn't it a big bureaucracy to join the guild? In my old world, they just needed our name and age.

"Right." I waited for Rose for a while longer while she wrote some stuff on another paper. It didn't take long, she had written fast.

"Here, read it and then sign here, after you sign I will ask the guild to manufacture your license."

"All right." I took the paper and sat down at one of the tables again. I started reading and I realized it was a contract. 

People under 15 would have to sign this, it wasn't for all adventurers. I had to make it clear that I would be responsible for all my actions since I'm not an adult.

Usually, adults are already responsible, they don't need a contract like this.

"But that's okay." I made a very simple signature with my name on it and then handed the paper to Rose.

"Okay, now I'm going to ask them to prepare your license, could you wait for a few more minutes? If you want, I can bring you something to drink or eat."

"No need, I'm going to sit here."

I sat back down to wait for my adventurer's license to be ready. For a moment I started to regret that decision, as I was scared of what my mom would do if she found out about it.

Man, even though I'm stronger than her these days, she scares me.

I'll have to hide this adventurer's license in a place Lisandra would never look because if she finds out about it for sure she'll talk to my mom.

'I just have to get it into my head that this is the best decision. By taking this license I can leave town and level up.' If I don't get stronger quickly, I'm afraid of what might happen.

What if that supposed war of the gods happens sooner than anticipated? This scares me a lot. While I want this war could be called off, I'm not confident I'll be able to do anything about it.

After some time of waiting, more adventurers started arriving to pick up their quests.

"Look, it's that boy we brought that time, how is it?" It was Viaric and his group, the same guys who brought me to the capital a month ago. Since we arrived I hadn't seen them again.

"Oh, your name is Viaric, right?" I won't deny that I had forgotten and had to look at your Status to remember.

"That's right, what are you doing here? Did you come to ask for some help? If you want we are available, hahaha."

"It's not that, I'm waiting for my adventurer's license to be manufactured, but it's taking longer than I thought."

"License? Are you going to start working as an adventurer? Pfft... Hahaha." Viaric started laughing at me along with his friends. Danan and Daleof, look stronger than before.

Looks like they've been training a little.

"Yes, why?" As I remember, I didn't help during their battle so they probably don't know that I know how to use a sword or magic, did I show them my magic at some point?

I don't remember. Even if I did, dumb adventurers like them would forget about it.

"Aren't you afraid to die? A person who doesn't know anything about using magic and a weapon can't become an adventurer, are you sure you want that?" Viaric had a sardonic smile on his face.

"Yeah, now excuse me you're pissing me off."

"What?"

"I said you're pissing me off so could you please get away from me?" I stared at him with an overwhelming intent to kill. Viaric pulled away from me quickly as he sweated.

It looks like my intent to kill and my intimidation is already strong enough that I can scare off some veteran adventurers.

How weak they are.

"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. Working as an adventurer is not something a child should do. Come on guys, we need a mission or we won't have a place to sleep tonight." Viaric turned and walked towards the wall where the guild's missions were displayed.

Was this guy that annoying? Or am I easily irritated? I need to control myself a little because I could end up getting into a fight within the guild, and I'm not really into it.

But it was good to see they're okay, for the strength they had, I thought maybe they were already dead.

I think their only problem is money.

"Noah, it's ready." As I looked at Viaric and his companions in doubt as to which mission they would take on, Rose called me over.

"It took longer than I thought."

"I'm sorry about that, the person who manufactured the licenses is a little sick, so she was replaced by someone else."

"Don't worry, where is it?"

"Here." Rose handed me a small white card. On it was written my name, my age, and my rank which was currently F. Besides that there was also an image of me there, how did they do it?

My hair is already a little long, I think I need to cut it later. And it's also weird how my hair that used to be black is getting lighter, my appearance is changing little by little.

'Maybe this is the effect of puberty? Does going through puberty change hair color? Huh? I don't remember this happen in the first time.'

It's a good thing my eyes stayed blue, they were beautiful like Lisandra's and I didn't want them to change color. My hair is changing to a lighter color... But my mom's hair is so dark... It's weird.

But I think it's okay.

"I'm a little surprised, how did you manage to put an image of me here?"

"Oh, this is kind of a magic copy tool, you can usually put a picture of a person you imagine on paper. I don't know how it works either."

"So that's just how you see me in your imagination."

"Look, I tried to recreate you as faithfully as possible, it's identical."

"Is it always you who do this?"

"It's always the receptionist who does this. Since I took care of you and the person inside the room doesn't know what you look like, I have to make this. It's normal."

"I see, I'm cute, don't you think?"

"I can't deny it, sometimes I feel like gouging out your eyes and stealing them for me."

"Ugh, scary."

"I am joking."

"I know that you'd never gouge out my eyes just because they're beautiful, wouldn't you?"

"Of course not." Rose was smiling at me.

"Okay, I think I'll go out for a bit now, thanks for helping me." I kept my license in my pocket.

"I'm just doing my job, see you later. And if you're going out, talk to me first so I can know."

"Hm? Are you worried about me at this level?"

"I am, so try to do this, got it?"

"Of course, I like you so I won't worry you." What I've done more recently is make Lisandra worried about me. I hope I don't do this with Rose.

"Is good to hear that."

After that, I didn't take one mission, I just decided to head out of town. Since it would still take a while for lunchtime to arrive, I think I would have time to go out for a while and get a feel for what it's like out there.

I hope there are enough monsters.
