Chapter 90 - 83: Entry Exam (1/2)
After running off towards the Guild Leader's office, the girl then came back after a few moments. She told the two of them to follow her to the Guild Leader's office, and Hikaru agreed along with Hiroshi.
As they were walking up the stairs, the receptionist girl was trying hard to break down in front of them. From what she'd seen, the one wearing that flashy armor is a very strong individual. She could say that he's stronger than the Guild Leader, who's a Tier 9 Magician.
But the one thing that worried her the most was that thing, the blood red cloak that appeared behind that guy for a brief moment. It was emanating a lot of killing intent, as if it's the very manifestation of that intent. She, herself, is a Tier 5 Assassin, so she could see what that cloak was made off. Even though she has no explanation as to why that happened, she is sure of something. That cloak was not made from any kind of material.
As they turned to go to a hallway, which has no rooms other than a dark oak door at the end of the hallway, they walked towards that door.
When they finally reached the door, the girl then politely bowed to them before going back to the counter, the reception.
Hiroshi knocked on the door as he asked, ”Can we come in?”
”Ah, yes. Please.” A male voice sounded inside.
Hiroshi opened the door and walked in along with Hikaru.
When they came inside, they saw a man in his late thirties behind a desk with doc.u.ments neatly assembled on top of it. The man has mid-length grey hair, slitted eyes, sharp thin eyebrows, long ears, and he was wearing a grey robe with a badge with the number ”9” carved in it, signifying his Tier. He also had his staff right beside him. It was a thick long stick with a white sphere on top of it.
The man then stopped what he was doing after the two of them came in and waved his magic staff that was right beside him, before two chairs suddenly appeared in front of the desk.
”Please have a seat, the two of you.” The man politely offered them
”Thank you.” Hiroshi and Hikaru said at the same time as they sat on the chairs.
”Now, I won't be talking too long, since I have a lot of work to do. We'll skip the pleasantries. You two don't have ID cards, am I right?” The man asked.
They both nodded.
”Well, that would be easy. 10 Gold coins should suffice for each of your ID cards. That's a total of 20 gold coins. Do you have any coins on you right now?” The man asked politely.
”Yes, here.” Hikaru extended his right hand towards the man, the Guild Leader, before 20 gold coins stacked neatly appeared on top of his palm.
The Guild Leader then took the gold coins and handed two cards towards them. It was their Identity Cards. There wasn't really anything there, it seems like they would have to write their names there.
Hikaru and Hiroshi then stood up.
”I am grateful for your time. May I ask for your name?” Hikaru said quite politely as well.
”Ah, I haven't introduced myself, have I? My name is Alphonsus Ellsworth. As you can see, I'm an Elf. Anyway, I'll be going now. I really don't have time, so I'm sorry that I have to leave just after meeting someone as amazing as you.” Alphonsus said, he was quite disappointed that he didn't get to talk with Hikaru longer.
Hikaru knew what he meant. There are different types of magic in this world, and the one Elves uses is Spirit Magic. They can communicate with the Spirits, and they can even see them while normal people can't. Right now, Hikaru is wearing the Ring of the Unseen. He can see the spirits around Alphonsus dancing in joy as they tell him how amazing Hikaru is.
The spirits look just like fairies, but there's a difference. Spirits are ethereal creatures, while Fairies are creatures of high-powers. It was said that they are one of the closest beings close to godhood. Of course, there's no proof of this, since Fairies haven't been seen by anyone except the previous Heroes.
After getting their blank ID cards, they will then have to fill it in with their names and register it at the guild counter, where they met the girl.
