“Callus-kun.” I hear a voice call out from behind me. It’s Claire. It seems that it came from the old man’s house.

“What is it?”

“Umm, Callus-kun, what are you doing….. after cla.s.s? If you want, we could go to register at the guild right now.”

“Guild registration?” I’ve just learned something new.

“I received that job change item from you yesterday, Callus-kun. Because of that, I want to be able to enter the cave for training, because you need to be in the guild to enter it.”

Is that so?

“So I want to register, and I wanted to know if….. Callus-kun wanted to go with me.” Claire’s pestering makes sense. Her eyes have the same look as the pet I used to keep in my parents home in my previous life. She hugged me. Well, taking yesterday into consideration, it isn’t surprising, wouldn’t you think?

“I understand, let’s go together.”

“—-! Thank you!”

☆　　☆　　☆

We left the village and walked for about thirty minutes. We went to a neighbouring town called Gordon. It was certainly different from what I had been expecting. Claire led me into the guild building to register.

“What are you doing miss? This is not a place for children.” Said the woman behind the counter. She looked down and despisingly saw us as children. Is she really that blind? Anyway, Claire was all business in her speech.

“I want to register the two of us in the guild.”

“You two?”

“Yes!”

“Pu!” exclaimed the woman as she compared Claire and I, and began to laugh suddenly.

“Go home, this isn’t a playground for children.” I was offended.

“We have come of age.”

“Right, right, you’re adults now.”

“Pardon my language in front of children who have just had their ceremonies, but the guild requires registrants to be at least level 10.”

“Ugh…..”

Claire groans. I can’t support her, as she’s still level 1.

“My level is over 10.”

“Wha?”

“Eh?” Both the woman and Claire were surprised.

“What sort of foolishness are you saying?”

“It’s true! Callus-kun was level 9 yesterday, but for him to go up so suddenly—-”

“Wait, What?” The woman’s expression changed. It changed at the same we heard Claire’s response. As I listened, she stared at me.

“Are you really over level 10?”

“It’s just 10, actually.”

“Wait a minute.” The woman disappeared behind the counter, and returned almost immediately. A gla.s.s of water is presented to me.

“Take this. Try to imagine your levels. Your Job levels, that is.”

“I just have to think about it?”

“That’s right.” “I understand.” Holding the gla.s.s, I closed my eyes. I found that it was easy to visualise. Ninja level 7, Dragon level 3.

“Ohh.” I opened my eyes when I hear Claire speak. The water that had been clear had just turned orange.

“Going past red into orange……. This boy is really level 10?” I saw that the woman could not quite believe it.
