Chapter 302: A name like any other

Chapter 302: A name like any other

Sofia entered the Administrative building followed by Leverle, and all she could think about was how weird it was to her that these Exidian people, who all had horns, also almost all wore hats.

Why so many hats? Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Even the receptionist inside wore a tiny hat that basically only covered a third of her head.

Just why?

Still, Sofia greeted the receptionist, Hello.

Oh! Another human lady. Welcome, the receptionist greeted Sofia before she noticed the person behind her, Doctor Leverle?

The demon closed the door behind him. Ellena? You grew lots. Are your eyes still good?

Couldnt be better! All thanks to you. Did you come to have this lady registered?

Indeed. I am to be her guarantor, I need her to get a mithril grade ID.

Mithril? the receptionist repeated while glancing at Sofia, I must inform you that even at her level and with you as a guarantor, the request might be denied if her qualifications are unsatisfactory. The upfront cost is ten thousand.

My level? Lady you are level 68

Send the bill to Bishop Clement, Leverle answered.

The receptionist nodded and left her desk, she walked past Sofia and the Doctor to lock the front door, then asked them to follow her as she climbed the stairs in the corner of the reception hall.

Upstairs, she led them to a large room which contained a steel chair inside of an intricate ritual circle carved into the floor.

Please sit, the receptionist told Sofia while she entered the adjacent room in which she could see through a window in the wall. The receptionist sat behind a weird contraption on the other side.

The ritual circle lit up several times accompanied by strange clicking noises, then the receptionist came back with a notepad in hand. Please stay seated. First I will need to see the four top lines of your status.

Alright.

The receptionist narrowed her eyes as she read the four lines.

Name : Sofia Aphenoreth

Age :21

Class : [Saintomancer]

Level : 249

Oh, shit!

Sofia Aphenoreth. Noted. One of the human ladies from three days ago had the same last name, was that your sister?

Sofia had a cold sweat when she heard the receptionist read her name out loud, and Leverles head had snapped in her direction like a tracking spell as his body instinctively inched closer to the wall behind him. But he said nothing.

My older sister, yes

Safe? Shes not going to disappear, right?

Hmm, you do look a bit alike now that I know that. Humans are still a bit hard to differentiate from one another I must admit the receptionist complained, sighing lightly. Your age is locked? Is that an error?

No, its a feature. I no longer age. You can attribute that to my class, I bet you have never heard of it either.

I have Indeed not, but perhaps the older employees of this office have? I am the only one taking the late afternoon shift, though. I could search to see if we have any other Saintomancer registered, but that would take a while. You can request for it later if you want, this kind of registry inquiry is only a few silver, if your Mithril ID gets accepted, that is.

It is my pleasure. Please check that the information on it is all correct while I go fetch the rest of the package, Ellena announced as soon as Sofia grabbed the card.

It was tightly packed with data and even showed engravings of Sofias face from the front and the side.

Mithril rank ID n138

Sofia Aphenoreth

As of issuing:

Human Female

Yellow hair, blue eyes, white skin

Aged 21, Height 196 cm, Weight 486 kg

Nobility rank : Baroness (Foreign)

Class ID : Saint, Benefactor Deity: Sorrow, Level 249

No criminal records in Exidion

Guarantor:

High Priest of Deaths church - Dr. Leverle (Mithrium n6)

Wait I never mentioned Scripture. She just marked me as Saintess of Sorrow?

I could understand a receptionist making that mistake but, the Empress validated that?

Wasnt the Emperor supposed to be over level 500? Theres no way his wife wouldnt have noticed this, right? Maybe she was too spooked by my name and approved without looking over the rest? Well, whatever. Lets just say its all correct.

Also, fucking hell. Half a ton? Im wearing the anklet, too, so the real number is double that Its a wonder Im not breaking everything I touch. And everyone else is the same, for that matter.

I suspect theres more at play here, because even if my steps are heavy theyre not that heavy.

While Sofia had an existential crisis over weighing more than the average stone ogre, the receptionist came back with a stack of loose pages of paper.

Is your card alright? she asked.

Yes, all good.

Nice! I brought you two maps, you have this one for the Empire and its surroundings, this one is the district of Exalta on one side and the location and names of major shops and places of interest on the other. The fourteen other pages contain all the rights and laws that apply to you as a Mithril ranked foreigner, please read them in detail when you have the time.

Will do. Is that everything?

Yes. I would offer help to find lodgings for your stay, but I assume that you do not need my assistance, the receptionist explained as she threw a look toward Leverle who was already waiting near the door.

I should be alright.

Then we are good.

Oh right, does this card expire?

The receptionist shook her head. The Mithril rank IDs are valid for life, only the Imperial couple may deliver or annul them.

Good to know. Thank you, sorry for keeping you on the job so late. Night is almost here already.

I get a good commission on Mithril IDs, so this is nothing. Ellena went to open the door for them to leave. I should be the one to thank you, actually, the bonus pay will be a real lifesaver. Have a nice stay in Exidion, lady Aphenoreth. And it was nice to see you again, Doctor.

Sofia and Leverle left, making a beeline for the Academy. It mattered little that it was soon to be night, it was not like them nor the headmaster needed to sleep anyway.
