When I returned the gla.s.s to the counter, the water had become transparent again.

“I really don’t understand this, what’s up with this water?”

“This is water that was received from the church. It is holy water that reacts to the Total Level of a human being by changing its color. It changes roughly every ten levels, going from red, to orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and finally purple. Because it turned orange for you, your level is 10.”

“Oh, that’s really useful. But it can only measure up to level 69.”

Hearing that, the woman laughed blankly and said, “There are only five human beings in this world who have managed to surpa.s.s level 70. It’s fairly rude to think of comparing oneself to such celebrities.”

…..Is that so? So anyone that’s gotten that high is a celebrity. If I keep at my current levels of activities, I could reach that in another two months. Well, it’s something to keep in mind.

“So I can enter the guild?” The woman returned to her original expression. The impression of her despising children has disappeared.

“It’s alright, since you pa.s.sed the test.”

“Test? Is that something everyone has to go through in order to join?”

“That’s right.”

“Understood.”

Claire I returned to the cave together. It’s the same cave we went to with the old man yesterday. Because the gatekeeper was there, I had to present my guild papers that I had received from the woman at the guild.

“I came for a guild test.”

“Huh?” The gatekeeper compared the paper and me.

“Already taking the guild test at your age? As expected of a pupil of the sage.” Unlike the woman, I was impressed with this man.

“Do your best.”

“Ok.” Nodding, Claire and I entered the cave. The guild test requires the collection of the fur of pillings.

“But only the handful of golden fur on its back.”

“Uh huh, and I’ll store them in this bag.” When collecting fur, you can’t burn the pillings.

I used the level Dragon skill, Wind Breath. Using level 1 and 2, I’d defeated pillings with a single blast, and it was no different with this skill. Turning the bodies over, the golden fur was not conspicuous. I cut it carefully and placed it in the bag I brought along.

“This is pretty difficult work. If you’re patient, we can have it done in a week’s time.”

“Umm…..Callus-kun.”

“Yeah?”

“May I fight as well?” was what Claire said.

“What’s the matter, all of a sudden?”

“The reason I wanted to enter the guild, was to train so that I could level up and use the job change item that Callus-kun has given me.”
