Chapter 84 84: The Registration

"I would like to register for the upcoming boss rush. Here are my papers and experience certificate. Will this be sufficient?"

Keith passed his fake papers as well as his experience certificate toward the checker in front of him. The man looked at Keith with a critical eye, looking at his papers and not finding anything wrong with them.

He returned them but the man still did not look happy with Keith. His eyes were filled with displeasure and annoyance but he remained calm.

"You want to participate in this boss rush? Kid, dream on. You have no experience on your resume and you also do not have enough social credit in the guild to participate. I cannot allow you into the team."

The man at the front desk denied Keith directly and not for a good reason.

This was an entry-level boss raid that did not require any experience. This boss raid was designed to give people experience with raids but many people did not know this and fell victim to the front desk manager.

In the original game, you needed to complete a series of side quests to gain experience before you were allowed into the final party but Keith did not have time for this bullshit.

He was about to bribe the front desk worker when he did not even need to do that. Someone else slipped in a gold coin which startled the front desk worker.

The presence of that hand suddenly appeared and circled Keith's waste, only to place a coin in front of him startled him.

"Here, why don't I pay for his entry into our team? I am sure this much can compensate for his lack of experience, right?"

A husky voice spoke in Keith's ear as a well-proportioned body with big breasts pressed against his back. The female was teasing Keith and helping him out at the same time.

The front desk worker groaned as soon as he noticed the new female enter. But he also did not refuse the money being offered to him.

"Katy, you cannot keep on taking guys into your squad just because they look handsome. One of these days, you will end up with a heavy death toll on your consciousness when something goes wrong. You need to be careful in a dungeon."

The front desk worker warned the female and Keith was shocked when he heard her name.

'Katy Pell' was the person Keith was looking for in this raid. But it seemed like she had come over to him all on his own.

Keith did not even have to wonder if this was the 'Katy' he was looking for or not. Anyone who had a name in the game did not share it with mobs. Keith was going along with this logic and keeping his calm.

The female finally left her spot from behind Keith and threw herself in the seat adjacent to her.

Katy Pell was a female who was Keith's age. She had ash hair and brown eyes, a standard combination compared to other unique characters.

She was not a stunning beauty, but Katy was still pretty enough to turn heads wherever she went. And she was currently helping Keith out.

"Aww, are you jelly that I helping a newbie out? But you also must understand that this is a standard raid for newbies. We will not have any people to do a raid with if you keep on driving everyone away like this."

Katy scolded the man at the front desk with gentle words. Had Keith not known that this was the way Katy talked, he would have thought she was flirting in front of him.

But Katy was just this kind of person so there was no need to guess what she was thinking about and what her intentions meant.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ The front desk worker seemed to know Katy quite well and he sighed with a smitten face.

"I know we can't keep on driving people away since we need them but I don't want to send you in with someone incompetent as well. I am worried about you."

Now it was getting ridiculous and Keith felt like he was being ignored by these two.

*Cough*

Keith's cough brought all the attention back to him and the two 'maybe-lovebirds-' broke apart their flirting.

"So, am I on the team or not? I wanted to give you this letter before you rejected me but wherever."

Keith handed the letter he has asked Clair to forge. It was from a relatively unimportant person in the branch. He had asked Clair to find someone who could vouch for his skills but was still not high enough on the ladder to be considered suspicious.

Katy was the one who opened the letter and she looked impressed.

"Well, looks like we will not have to worry about his lack of experience anymore. The letter is genuine as well since I scanned it with my skill."

Katy had high praises to speak for Keith and he relaxed to see that he would not be questioned any further.

He had no idea what Clair had written in the letter he had handed over to Katy but he was sure she was sensible enough not to cause him trouble-

"Well, what do you know! This person might not have in-guild experience but he has already taken care of a Draken all on his own. He must be one hell of a fighter."

The front desk worker spoke as he read the letter he had picked up from the table.

'Clair, what the fuck? When did I fight a Draken? No, more importantly, why did you write such an impossible feat for me?'

Keith wanted to rip the letter apart and start anew. But what was done was done and he now had a reputation to uphold.

Thankfully, he did have the earring to provide him with mana and his seal which helped him see how much mana he was putting into his attacks. That should help him out in the long run, right?

"Ah, your name is Noah, right? If you are interested, why don't you do a solo dungeon run before we fight the boss? We will be heading out tomorrow so you still have time to get all your kinks out."

Katy offered Keith this opportunity, likely noticing his nervousness.

Keith wanted to deny whatever Clair had written in the letter but habits were hard to overcome. And his current body was trained not to back down from any challenge.

"Hmm, if you are offering me the use of the training grounds, then I shall not refuse you. I will see you tomorrow."

Keith quickly took his leave but even then, he was full of grace. He could not fight his habits after all.

Once he was gone, both Katy and the front desk worker dropped their smiles and a serious expression took over their expression.

"So, do you believe everything that is written in the letter, Katy? I cannot believe a newbie like him defeated a Draken. I think he forged the letter somehow."

The front desk worker tried to reason and explain how 'Noah' had come into possession of this latter. But it was no easy feat to get this recommendation from the guild.

Katy shook her head at her partner's reasoning, not believing what he was saying right now.

"No, it is not possible. I scanned the letter and it was a genuine guild letter. It seems like we have a big shot at our party this time. But there has to be a catch if someone who defeated a Draken is in the beginner class and not higher up."

"Then, do you think the guild high-ups suspect something is going on here and decided to send a checker to look over things?"

The front desk worker asked, now afraid suddenly. The guild was like a battlefield where everyone was trying to get to the top.

"Hmm, not likely. But I do think things are about to get interesting. If it turned out to be something big, I will look to smoothen things but if not, I think I found my next big story to tell the masses."

There had seldom been a time when Katy was this excited about a raid. Usually, they were filled with uninteresting people. But this time it was different.

This time, someone interesting had shown up out of the blue and decided to take her by storm.

"Katy, do not do anything rash in your desire to get a good story. I know you and how you think. Nothing good will come out of taking unnecessary risks. Moreover, you can get someone killed if you are reckless."

The front desk worker warned Katy, now narrating his own experience. But Katy seemed not to be worried about her situation.

No one had died this far and no one will die from a beginner's raid anyway. The front desk worker liked to speak too much to scare her.
