35 Time Skip (2/2)
”Anyways Noah, were you always in this type of position compared to some of those more well-off warriors of this city?” Leo asked Noah trying to drive the conversation back so that he could learn a little more about his instructor on a deeper level.
”Oh Leo, you do not even know the half of it.” Noah started to think back to the days when he was younger.
”You see Leo, I was born into a commoner household and had no choice but to start training myself once I reached the age of five years old. Once I became eight years old, I was able to get tested at a small school that accepted younger commoners to help them grow into strong warriors.”
”Once I reached the age of twelve, I was able to join a small guild that many commoners who were unable to be picked up by a strong faction chose to go to in order to earn enough money to feed their families. There, I was able to take on small quests and after completing quite a few of them, the alliance approached me at the age of twenty-one.”
”And as you can see, I made the most out of that opportunity and everyone under the banner including strong executive leveled experts give me respect. I have to admit though, of all my years helping to train new commoners within the alliance, you are monstrous!” finally finishing his story, Noah put his hand on Leo's shoulder while smiling out of acceptance for his strength.
”Oh?” taking a moment to absorb everything Noah had told him, Leo had a bright idea.
”Hey Noah, since my punishment from the council finished this past week, I am thinking of joining that small guild so that I can take on a quest. I feel that the only way I could increase my power now is to experience such thrills and adventure!”
”Luckily for you Leo, the small guild is an independent faction that is rather neutral with our alliance. So, you can try to go and get tested so that you can take on some quests through them. Since you are still technically a commoner, that would be the only way that you can receive that type of work.”
”Only problem, is that you must prove yourself worthy to join the guild as an unaffiliated member. When it comes to them accepting you, no one can help you but yourself and your power. Therefore, if you are to attempt to join them, you need to get prepared accordingly.” Explained Noah as the two got up to walk back to Leo's residence.
”Well Noah not to brag or anything, but if you were able to join them when you were only a little older than I am now, they should have no problem accepting me once they realize how strong I am!” making a thumbs up with his hand towards Noah, Leo felt a little overconfident.
”Well actually Leo, the city was nowhere as developed as it is now when I first joined the guild. I believe right now their current age requirement is sixteen years old, but you might be able to convince them otherwise if you give it your all.” Noah responded in a stern tone like a true teacher that wanted the best for his student.
