Chapter 53: Registering in the Adventurers Guild!

-----

"Gwendolyn, how hard is it to cultivate to Rank 3 at your position? Don\'t you have enough money for the resources to do so?" asked Frank.

"Ah, well, my talent is not the highest, so if I don\'t bring myself many materials, I might take several years until I finally reach that Rank. Unlike Reuberto, who has Rank A, I am Rank B. Reuberto was so talented that he easily reached Rank 3 at the age of twenty… Meanwhile, I am already in my late twenties and here I am, still stuck at Rank 2! Sigh. And it becomes even harder to have enough money because I use that for our life as well, food, materials, and many other things drain my money very fast… However, as long as you get rich later on, I am sure that I will be able to reach Rank 3 and even Rank 4… After all, even after everything considered about strength, money moves the world" said Gwendolyn.

"Haaah… It is rather unnerving for you to think that I will get rich, and putting so much faith on it might be a bit too pressuring for me, don\'t you think?" said Frank with a bitter smile.

"What? No way, I am gambling a lot on you, boy. So you better do your best, okay?" said Gwendolyn.

"Sigh… (Since when I became dependable to others? Ah, right, the magic showoff, there it is…)" thought Frank.

"I will make sure to not disappoint you, Gwendolyn…" said Frank.

"Sure, but what about your mother and your sibling? You should tell them what you are now, right?" asked Frank.

"About that, I think it could be better for it to remain a secret," said Frank.

"I see… Well, it can\'t be helped," said Gwendolyn.

Although Frank had partially lied about having a family in Terra, he referred to his Family on Earth when Gwendolyn asked him. He didn\'t want to reveal anything to them for now due to the dangerousness of his powers, they were simply way too amazing and could bring a lot of unexpected visitors to his life and family.

Although his family was already being protected by the Monk Clan of Tokyo, it was still better for things to remain a secret within them.

Frank and Gwendolyn finally reached the Adventurers Guild Building after a few minutes of walking, a large building that seemed to have up to three floors and that distinguished itself from the rest of the buildings on its quality, seemingly resembling that of an aristocrat.

Inside the guild, there was also a bar and a restaurant, where Adventurers would come to rest after having done their quests.

In Terra, Adventurers were not much different than Adventurers in other fantasy world settings. They were people strong enough to be capable of slaying monsters that appeared in Dungeons, and they brought their corpses and Mana Cores to the Guild to sell them and make a living through it.

There were also many Quests set by citizens, which required adventurers to hunt special types of monsters or do special tasks such as the creation of potions, the gathering of herbs, and so on.

Not all Adventurers were incredibly talented Magus, as they would often be stuck at Rank 1 with a few spells, but that was often enough to do a lot of simple tasks and make more money than the common folk that was not even capable of conjuring a spell.

However, on a few occasions when talented Magus registered as Adventurers, they would quickly raise in the Ranks and become prestigious Adventurers, which could go all the way up to Rank S.

There were even Quests especially for Rank A to S Adventurers, often made by rich aristocrats themselves, requiring the extermination of certain powerful monsters that were storming a certain town or had appeared around a dungeon, and were threatening the life of a large number of citizens.

In Terra, Dungeons divided themselves in the same Ranks as Adventurers, from F to S.

S-Ranked Dungeons were incredibly dangerous dens of monsters that could easily destroy a whole city overnight if there would be a \'Dungeon Outbreak\' or \'Monster Wave\', where monsters would fill a dungeon so much that they would be expelled by the dungeon itself, storming their surroundings and creating total mayhem and chaos. Such places need to be constantly cleaned by strong Adventurer parties to maintain peace and prosperity.

And even Dungeons of the lowest Ranks such as F and E needed to be cleaned at least once a month, so there would not be many threats of dangerous Dungeon Monsters roaming the surrounding villages or towns.

Although Dungeons were treasure troves of materials through monster corpses, Mana Cores, and treasure chests, they were also dangerous dens of calamity, brought upon by the Goddess of Chaos. Proper caution and care needed to be taken for the people to live peaceful lives.

Due to this looming threat that would never end, Adventurers were always required.

Frank and Gwendolyn entered the building as they glanced at the dozens of Adventurers Parties, picturesque groups of peoples of all shapes and sizes talking, celebrating, drinking, and planning their next course of actions.

There was a bard in the Guild, giving the atmosphere an even happier and carefree tone as the music and songs filled the ambient.

"Ah, there isn\'t a line today, come, Frank…" said Gwendolyn.

"Alright," said Frank walking near Gwendolyn as she presented him to the receptionist, an adorable Frog-kin Beast-girl… which seemed rather familiar to Frank.

"Ah, registering…? It has been a while since- Huh? Ah, it\'s you!" said the girl, as her emerald and golden eyes shined brightly after glancing at Frank\'s face.

"It\'s you, it is nice to see you," said Frank.

"Oh? Do you know him?" asked Gwendolyn.

"Yes, miss… Actually, you were there as well, but I guess it is understandable that you did not recognize me at that time as I was wearing a hood to protect my skin from the intense sun…" said the frog-kin girl with a cute smile, her appearance was that of a normal human girl, however, her skin had a few green-colored marks, while the rest of her skin was pale white, and her hands were covered in a bit of sticky fluid. Her hair was deep green, resembling algae, but her smile was bright, despite the gloominess that her species\'s appearance often brought.

This girl was the frog-kin girl that Frank had stumbled across yesterday in the streets, after having calmed her anxiety down through Gift of Life, Frank quickly let her go. He would not have imagined that she was in fact the receptionist of this Adventurer Guild, or well, one of the many that there were.

"Let me register you straight away!" said the girl, as Frank smiled over her cheerful personality, which she did not show when he first met her.

"(Should I ask her name…?)" Frank wondered.

The girl asked Frank a lot of questions regarding his magic affinities, his complete name, his time of birth, and many other things. He was registered by her as Life Attribute Magician with both healing and offensive spells. And due to his Mana Levels, which were calculated through the large crystal sphere in the counter, Frank was given E-Rank instead of F-Rank, despite being Rank 1 on his cultivation.

"Amazing, Frank-kun, you\'re most likely an A-Grade Mana Core User! Such talent… Geez, I envy you… I am but a pitiful C-Grade, only because of my auntie that I managed to get into this prestigious Job…" said the girl.

"It all has been quite confusing, as I had just discovered my talent just today in the morning… By the way, what\'s your name?" asked Frank.

"Ah, my name is Clishya, but you can call me Clish! Here!" said Clishya, giving Frank a small medallion made out of iron, which cost a few coins that Gwendolyn paid.

"This is your Adventurer Register Card, make sure to not lose it! It will automatically register your Rank whenever it increases through merit or strength. It also comes with a few magical functions such as the ability to calculate your Mana Level," said Clishya.

"That\'s very useful… Thanks a lot for your help and patience, Clishya. (I wonder who made such artifacts…)" said Frank.

"No worries, Frank-kun… W-Well, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, I work here almost every day… There is also a lot of E to F-Rank Quests in the Quest board, so make sure to come back again to grab some quests, I will make sure to help you take them as fast as possible!" said Clishya.

"Sure, I might come back tomorrow, so until then, see ya," said Frank.

"Thanks a lot, Clishya-san," said Gwendolyn.

"Bye, bye, thanks for registering~!" said Clishya as she waved her hand.
