Chapter 136: Guild Membership Card (4)

After that, Jacob left there to return to the middle of the training ground. He still needed to return to his duties towards new adventurers and so on.

Martin and his comrades approached and sat on the opposite side of Sylvia's line.

"That's easy, isn't it? The guild just wants to ensure the minimum proficiency for each of its members. To be honest, it's not that far from being an ordinary formality." Martin smiled broadly.

"Um, very easy. We just need to go to the legality room for membership card creation and return to the registration counter. After that, we can go on a quest!" Sylvia clenched her fists excitedly.

"Hahaha, it's good to be excited. Young girls have to be like that. Alright, let me show you the legality room. We'll settle things quickly."

After Martin's laughter and encouragement, they immediately left the guild training ground area to return to the main building.

The legality room was located to the east of the main guildhall. It was like a general government secretariat office. Apart from a few guild staff, there were very few adventurers who had business there.

"This is the legality room. Just pass the documents you're holding to the counter over there." Martin pointed to a special counter from several counters and desks that were there. They approached there together.

"Hi, Mia. Working hard as usual." Anika greeted her acquaintance at the legality counter.

"Ah, it's you, Anika. How are you?" The girl who was working on documents behind the counter greeted Anika with a smile.

"We're good, ah, we have four new adventurers. Can you help arrange guild membership cards for them?" Anika turned her palm towards Sylvia and her party.

"Sure, it's my job. You already got the documents from the Guild Instructor?" Mia repositioned her glasses, then nodded.

"Yes, here it is. We have followed the procedure. Please let us know if anything is missing." Sylvia gave the documents to Mia.

"Naturally, please wait a moment." Mia put the documents on her desk, then did the inspection, and so on.

After legalizing the four sets of documents for the four new adventurers, she took out four transparent cards with inscriptions and the Highmight Guild logo engraved on them.

"Aisyle."

"Yes." Elysia answered Mia's call.

"Can you come here for a moment? Your card is ready to be processed." Mia stuck a card to an encryption crystal that useful for encoding data to the guild membership card.

"Hold this crystal, and it will do the rest."

Elysia received a green crystal with a transparent card embedded in it. Instantly, the crystal glowed slightly and was followed by a magic circle to scan her physical body for a moment, then the crystal dimmed.

'What? This method is similar to the way a membership card is made in the Holy Library...' Elysia muttered in her mind.

Slowly, the transparent card embedded in the crystal she was holding changed color to white, then the owner's identity began to be engraved there.

'Not similar anymore, but the same. What's different is that membership card alone can change color depending on the color of magic energy detected by the crystal.' Elena responded with careful observation.

'Un, that's right.' Elysia agreed, and she returned the crystal to the lady staff on duty. "Here's the crystal, Mrs. Mia."

"Okay, here's your guild membership card, Aisyle. You are now an F rank adventurer. Welcome to the adventurer's guild as an official adventurer." Mia received the crystal, pulled out the card, and then gave it to Elysia with a warm welcome.

"Um, thanks, Mrs. Mia." Elysia nodded once with a subtle smile.

She took a brief look at the guild membership card in her hand. Her name, age, then her rank was clearly engraved there. There was also special magic encryption that was the same as the one on the library card.

"Next up, Aivlys."

"That is me!" Sylvia appeared beside Elysia.

Henceforth, the same procedure was repeated for Sylvia and Dylan. The two of them manipulated the encryption crystal to detect the color of magic energy that matched their identity.

After they finished, Vanessa was the only one Mia hadn't yet summoned for the card.

"Hehe... This is the most unusual, a Spirit Beast registering as an adventurer. Aisyle, Vanessa is your contracted beast, right?" Mia giggled softly. The glasses woman with short black hair deliberately said that to attract the attention of her other colleagues.

"What? Contracted beast?"

"Spirit beasts after all that have existed as adventurers? Where, where?"

"Who is Vanessa?"

"Wow, this is the first time in the history of this guild. The Guild Master will definitely be shocked and choked when he finds out about this, hehehe..."

Sure enough, Mia managed to attract attention from her co-workers and some random adventurers. All of them looked at her from their respective chairs, either at another counter or at the opposite table.

"Yes, she is my contracted beast. This is Vanessa, she is a good girl. Is there something wrong with the documents for her, Mrs. Mia?" Elysia asked in confusion.

"Ah, nothing. Fortunately, no rules are prohibiting a Spirit Beast from registering as an adventurer. It's just our first time. The higher-ups will definitely be surprised too." Mia covered her mouth with her palm and waved her other hand to tell Elysia not to worry.

"Oh, thank goodness then." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief, then stroked the white cat nestled comfortably in her warm embrace.

"Wow! Is that a Spirit Beast? She is no different from a normal cat. I need to be careful with that pretty cat." A man who was handling documents at another table muttered in admiration.

"Hahaha, who would have thought that behind that cute little body, she has a huge power that can knock you into the blue sky." The other man joked lightly.

"Excuse me, the young lady who was dressed as a princess knight, can you turn back for a moment? I can't see the cat, like the others..." A woman who was handling a client's document muttered with a plea.

"Ah, sure." Elysia turned around. She felt the cat in her arms had become a show and entertainment for them.

"Wow, so pretty and cute... Spirit Beasts that I know are always big, sometimes they are oversized ones. Is she the descendant of Spirit Beasts or above who has caught up with her parents?" The woman muttered cheerfully.

Unfortunately, the question was not answered. Elysia did not want to answer it to a curious and unknown person. All personal information must be kept away from strangers, especially those who just want to know.

Elysia just smiled softly at the guild staff that asked her. She just nodded slightly, not for confirmation or anything, but only for formality. Elysia also didn't know about Vanessa's parents. She let the lady staff guessed it with her own imagination.

After that, she turned back to Mia. Waited for Vanessa's turn and then put the white cat on the counter table.

"Hehe, sorry for the little event. Hi, Vanessa, hold this crystal with your little paws, okay? Purr, purr, lovely cat." Mia put the green crystal in front of the cat, then wanted to pet the cat happily.

However, the cat didn't want to be touched by strangers at all, not to mention being petted by people she didn't like.

"Mew!" Vanessa clawed the approaching hand, but it managed to escape just before the cat's claws scratched her.

"Ow! That was close. She was quite fierce."

"Hehe... She doesn't allow everyone to touch her. Come on, Vann, we'll finish your membership card." Elysia responded to the somewhat surprised woman.

Vanessa immediately went through the same procedure until her guild membership card was ready. Dark Blue card with the same engraved writing as the others, but there was written 'Spirit Beast' next to Vanessa's name.

"En, thank you for the help, Mrs. Mia. Then, we excuse ourselves, have a nice day." Elysia nodded after seeing Vanessa's card, then bid her farewell to the lady staff.

"Uh, wait a moment. It's not over yet." Mia immediately retorted.

"Huh? Is there a procedure we need to do?" Sylvia tilted her head slightly. She was clueless.

"Yes, the registration fee for each adventurer member is 10 silver coins. You have four, which means 40 silver coins. Then, 32 Withrollite Stone Orbs that your party destroyed during the test. One silver coin per orb. You still need to pay a registration fee of 72 silver coins." Mia nodded with a professional smile.

"What? Was it all calculated and handed over to us? But, I already paid 10 silver coins at the registration counter earlier..." Sylvia muttered as if in disbelief at this broad daylight legal robbery.

"That's the registration fee for your guild party. It's different. It's a procedure and is given to adventurers who are tested, whether successful or not." Mia explained kindly.

"It's okay, Lys. Let me pay for it. You already paid the lodging fee for 3 days and the registration fee earlier." Elysia volunteered with a light smile.

She was somewhat amused because a Devil Saint and the Devil Princess of the Devil Continent's sole ruler would argue over money.

"No need, Ais. I will fund everything in our adventure. Thank you for offering, and I received your sincerity. Emm... Psst... For your information, I'm actually rich, so don't worry, hehe..." Sylvia shook her head slowly with a happy smile, then she softly whispered the information straight into her friend's ear.

Elysia shivered a little because of the soft voice and direct breath to her ear. Still, the perpetrator had walked over to Mia to pay the requested coin.
