2 Lesson 2 Adventurer Registration and Buying a Dragon

At a critical time when the sun set, I reached the town of Togai.

"All right, we can manage to register adventurers by the end of the day with this!

I walk into town looking for the Adventurer Alliance building. [M]

The building of interest was quickly found.

Because the building had signs with wings on it.

It is a symbol of freedom, a wing sign praised with the conviction of the first Adventurer Guild Leader that the adventurer is free.

"This is the Adventurer Alliance..."

It fills my chest with gratitude.

This is where my adventurer life begins!

"Don't! I need to register as an Adventurer before the Alliance closes!

◆

When I walked into the Alliance building, it was full of people.

Wow, are all these people adventurers?

Wow, there are so many adventurers out there.

I'm thrilled.

I shouldn't, I almost forgot my purpose again.

When I find the receptionist, I rush to the queue.

"That's a great queue."

"What, Bowes, is this your first time in line at this hour?

Listening to my solitude, the adventurer in front of me turns around.

I'm a little scared of your face, but you don't seem like a bad person.

"Yes, this is my first day"

"Oh, are you new? My first job was good... you don't have any luggage. Could it be you're going to register as an adventurer?

Is there something wrong with you?

"Yes, I left the village as soon as the ritual of adulthood was over."

"Oh, I see. So at this hour."

Good, it doesn't look like he was doing anything crazy.

"Ha ha, sometimes there's something like you. I admire adventurers, and when the ritual of adulthood is over, they come with their feet."

"Was there someone who did the same thing to me?

"Oh, that's quite a lot. Well, as soon as I sign up, I want to get a request, so there aren't many of them coming at this hour. In the evening, after work, the others will come to report the completion of the request, so get mixed up."

I see. Is there a lot of people there?

"You, where are you from? You've come quite a long way since you arrived at this hour after the mitzvah, haven't you?

"Yes, I wore it from the village of Zenje"

"Zenje? That's a village you've never heard of. What neighborhood?

Uh, my village is a secluded village with no other villages nearby.

"The village of Zenje lies west of this town, beyond the mountains."

"Take the mountain!? I'm from afar again"

I was surprised. What I did seemed so out of common sense. [M]

You shouldn't. I decided to live in plain sight next time in my life.

"I grew up in a mountain, so I came through a shortcut."

Speaking of which, the hunter knows the secret mountain path.

"Yes, it is! I was taught when you let me help you hunt to be an adventurer!

"I see."

Yeah, it's okay because I wasn't lying to you about teaching me how to beast.

Let's keep it a secret that you flew in the sky.

"Oh, I think I'm free."

"Oh, well, then, first"

"Yes."

I had a good time because I was talking to Mr. Adventurer.

I'm glad the first adventurer I ever talked to was a sweet guy.

Oh, I was so upset to hear your name.

Let me know if it happens next.

"Next please"

Whoa, it's my turn.

"Welcome to the Adventurer Guild. My name is Elma and I'm at the reception. Adventurer registration is what you need."

"Yes! What did you find out?!?"

"Hehe, 'cause you, you were just talking to Mr. Garland out loud. I heard you perfectly."

"Wow."

Shit - you were having a conversation that loud.

Ugh, I was too excited about the adventurer I first met.

"Then you'll be registering. Can I read and write letters? If you can't do it, I can give you a pen."

"That's okay. I can write it right."

'Cause I've been a wise man in my previous life, and I can read and write in a few languages.

"Then please fill out this document"

"Yes!"

I will write down my name and age in the documents provided. [M]

"Done!

Mr. Elma nods satisfactorily when he sees the documents he receives.

"Confirmed. That's a beautiful letter."

I can't believe it's a beautiful letter, it kind of illuminates me.

"Even if you can write, some of them are pretty dirty. If you can write a beautiful letter, we're looking for you in our guild."

Uh, is that an invitation to become an employee of the Adventurer Guild?

No, no, I'm gonna be an adventurer!

"No, please be an adventurer!

"Hehe, I get it. But when you retire, think again."

Well, the Adventurer Guild is also a place to get a new job when you retire.

Apparently, adventurers are also tough jobs, and there's a chance they'll have to retire because they're badly injured.

Well, I don't think I'm going to retire easily because I can use restorative magic.

"Then you will take the next practical exam"

"Practical exam?

What the hell does a practical skill do?

"Let's actually fight to see if we can do it as adventurers."

And I heard voices from behind.

Turning around, there was a guy in his 30s or so with a mustache.

Although the mustache grows, it does not feel unclean because it is properly brushed.

The outfit covers the body with half plate mails, chest and shoulders, plus metal small hands and leg armor, while the rest is covered with leather armor made from demonic skin.

Nice gear for ease of movement and defense.

Is that it? Is it possible that the small hand doesn't use some misrills?

Besides, the sword equipped at the waist is also hidden in the sheath, but the part of the shaft and grip is well made, and I can tell at a glance that it is a good product.

Above all, this man's standing was the most core of adventurers in this building.

This guy is definitely strong.

"Hey Elma. Can you leave this Bowes exam to me?

"" "What!?" "

Not only Mr. Elma, but also the adventurers around him, give a shout of surprise.

"Mr. Aug, what are you talking about!? You are an A-rank adventurer!?"

This guy is A-rank!? Sounds reasonable and strong.

"Nah, I'm a promising future boy who's come to be an adventurer at this hour. I'd love to coach you first."

That said, this man, called Aug, puts his face closer to Mr. Elma and whispers something in his ear.

Too bad I can't read my lips because I hide my mouth with my hands.

It would be rude to use sound collecting magic in a place like this.

"Okay. If that's the case, I can't help it."

Looks like we've decided to talk.

"Mr. Rex, suddenly, I'm sorry, but your exams are not with the Alliance staff, and this Aug is in charge."

"Okay."

"I'm a bit of a problem, but I'm a real A-rank adventurer, so it could be a better experience than fighting a retired Alliance employee opponent,"

Well, if the active adventurer is the opponent, you'll learn a lot!

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Org!

"Whoa, you're doing great. Uncle, I like healthy young people like that."

And that was then.

An official rings the bell and raises his voice.

"It's time to end buying and accepting materials! Hurry up if you haven't already!

The moment I heard the words, I remembered something important.

"I shouldn't, I have to ask you to buy"

"Hmm? What, you wanted me to buy you something?

"Yes, I was trying to get them to buy the material from the demon I came hunting for today's inn and food expenses! Because I have no writing."

"Ha ha, I see. Fine, ask for the purchase first. You'll be done with your assessment while you do your exams."

"Thank you! Sorry, please buy it!

I'm glad Mr. Org is a kind person.

"You're buying. Now put the material on this buying platform."

"Yes!"

I take the head of the green dragon out of the magic bag and put it on the purchasing table.

The purchasing table stings with the sound of guisilli.

"What?"

The staff member's eyes become Kyoton's.

"The torso is bigger, so I'll put it on the floor."

I take the green dragon body out of the magic bag and gently place it on the Alliance floor.

"Please buy this Green Dragon!

I asked the clerk to flip me back to Mr. Org.

"Thank you for waiting! Thank you for your exam!!"

"Kind of."

Is that it? I wonder what's wrong, Mr. Aug.

"That you hunted?

"Yes! I hunted on my way to town!

"You hunted with someone?

"No! I knocked him down with an unintentional blow from the blind spot!

"How?

"I cut my neck in two with my sword!

"Oh, my God."

"Yes!

"Wherever you are, you look like a dragon. And there are feathers."

"Yes! It's a green dragon!

"Dragon after all. It's not like Wyburn or anything."

That's a dragon. Because Wyburn has integrated forelegs and wings, and most importantly, it's definitely weaker than the Green Dragon and it's not a lot of money.

What's the matter with you? Mr. Org, you look kind of sweaty.

It's getting dark out there, and I don't think it's that hot.

"Now take the exam..."

"Pass!!"

"Huh?"

Mr. Org suddenly said something strange.

"I haven't fought yet!?"

"No, I'm fine! This is a test to see if we can fight demons and bandits properly!

Is that what you mean?

"So I can defeat the demons on my own. I don't need to test you or anything! Pass! Super pass! Congratulations, new adventurer! You're one of us from today on! That's why you don't have to fight!

Kind of like, Mr. Org, weirdly desperate? Is it your fault?

"Erm, Mr. Elma, this is about passing, is this good?

"... Huh? Is that me!?"

No, because you were in charge of me. Isn't Mr. Elma the only one here?

"Right. Isn't it good to pass because the examiner gave you a pass?

"Bye!?"

"Yes, congratulations on your passing, Mr. Rex"

"... Yay!!"

Finally, I'm an adventurer!

There were things that didn't fall in the middle of nowhere, but that's what Elma, an employee of the Alliance, said, so you're okay!

Now I can live as an adventurer!

All right! Good luck and live plain. Ooh!!

◆

Having become a successful adventurer, I completed my remaining adventurer registration before the Green Dragon purchase appraisal was completed.

And my gaze nails on one card offered in front of me.

"This will be your Adventurer Alliance registration card. Present this card at the desk when you receive a request, and also at the desk when you have fulfilled the request. Adventurers start with the F-rank at first, but gaining track record increases the rank. Good luck with the more types of jobs you get when you get a higher rank."

"Yes! Good luck and increase your rank!

I stare up close at the card I received without seeing my face burn. [M]

Wow, this is my adventurer card.

"Well, if Mr. Rex doesn't have to work hard, he's going to get a rank soon..."

"Huh? Did you say something?

"No, it's nothing. By the way, this is an appraisal of this dragon..."

"Yes!"

Dragons are dragons, albeit not very strong.

I'd expect it to be quite a price.

Even so, for some reason, Mr. Elma looked at me with an unfortunate look.

"Actually, it's this dragon, but we have a hard time buying it."

"... Huh?

What's that supposed to mean?

"I mean, we can't buy it!!"

"Yeahhhhhhh!?"

Why?!?
