"Alright. Since you already reach the age of 15 and met the requirement, please fill this form."
Inside the second floor of the Adventurer guild building, behind the reception desk, a receptionist lady smiled at Rert and put a form where several column like; Name, Speciality, Ability, and etc written.
"Except Name, Speciality, and Ability, other columns like Experience and Address is not a must be filled, so you can rest assured and just fill what you fine to reveal," The receptionist patiently continue explaining to Rert.
Rert looked a bit anxious, but he already began to fill his form, albeit looked a little conflicted in whether he should fill this column or that.
Meenwhile.
After finished the explanation to Rert, the Receptionist lady, Hara looked at her left side, to the direction whom her coworker serving.
A stunningly beautiful mage girl with white long hair!
What a pure-looking Maiden!
Even if Hara is a woman herself, she couldn't resist the girl's charming appearance and couldn't help but blush a little.
That very gorgeous girl right now is filling her form with ease and a thin smile, seemingly very cool at the situation.
Looking at her pink lips, Hara's cheeks flushed even more.
W-what a divine girl!
The charm is too overpowered!
Hara fanning her heated face while kept a bit amount of envy to her coworker that so lucky that she could help the maiden at her assignment.
She then glanced at the boy in front of her.
Compared to the neighbour desk beauty, the boy's appearance is average.
Red hair and green eyes.
His facial proportion is a bit nicely formed though. Cute, maybe. But not so special at all.
Just what the relationship between the two of them!?
Hara frowned, narrowed her eyes at the boy.
The two of them enter the Guild at the same time and seemingly is something resembling... aquintance? There's no way they a couple, right!?
Without even realizating it herself, Hara drowned in her own thought and wild imagination.
Rert tilted his head at the receptionist lady's red face in front of him, but he don't pay much attention to her and just put his form after he finish filled only Name, Speciality, Ability, and Weapon.
His name's of course is Rert.
Speciality is swordmanship and animal or monster tracking under his father guidance.
Ability is his mastery at low-level magic called Whisper.
And, lastly, Weapon, is his sword his father gave.
Hara's imagination stopped when she heard the sound of paper flipping.
She looked at her desk and found that Rert finished his form already.
She read the form for a while, a bit surprised after found that the boy in front of him was not so ordinary his appearance tell.
But still, he's not deserve the maiden at all!
While hiding her inner thought behind her business smile, she nodded at Rert.
"It's seems you are combat experienced to some extent. It is excellent. Lately, there is too much kids same age as you, who not had any combat ability and experience that pushed themself to become an Adventurer, without knowing what awaits them after they enter the world of Adventurer."
To be honest, Hara a bit impressed by the boy's spec, for his age, at least.
The boy not say much and only let out a laugh to Hara's words while scratching his cheek.
Hata's sharp eyes and her polished woman intuition as after 5 years worked as the receptionist does not miss that movement.
Her eyes narrowed again a little.
A virgin, I see.
She smiled relaxedly after confirmed it.
After cleared her throat, she then gave Rert a quest paper.
Not a difficult one. Just normal easy quest you can find at every Adventurer branches in the world, except at tundra or desert towns/cities.
The quest to gather herbs.
"Herb?" Rert asked.
"Yes. Herb gathering is easy and low-risked, but also needed a bit knowledge level and caution, since you would enter the forest where monsters lurking after all. So, we Adventurer Guild decided that this type of quests is very suited as the assignment test for the tested assigners like you. Even a virgin like you should be able to do it."
"Ah, yes, thank you for the explanation... Eh, what?" Rert nodded, but then it is seems that the receptionist lady is saying something weird at the end of her explanation...?
But the receptionist lady kept her smile tightly, tilted her head innocently.
"Hm? Is there still something you found confusing about?" She asked.
"N-no... Nevermind," Rert erase his doubt and thanked the receptionist lady.
He waited Riana to finish her form and received a quest, before walked out of the room together, going to complete the assignment quest.
After the door closed, the smile on Hara's face quickly disappear like a lie, replaced by a cold face.
"I hate lucky boys. Tch."
That day, until the lunchtime came, Hara confused as to why her coworkers looked at her with strange eyes.
***
"I am never thought that I would assign as an Adventurer in my life..."
Walked by Rert side while the two of them on the way to the north forest of Harad Town, Riana smiled and sighed bitterly while holding the quest paper of her.
"Herb gathering... Gather 10 stems of Moongrass... Reward: 5 copper coins."
She muttered the content of the quest paper with dispirited tone.
Rert noticed that, so he looked at Riana with question Mark popped up from his head.
"Look, I am is a very great person, you know?" Riana explaining.
"Okay..." Rert nodded.
In term of facial beauty, yes. Rert convinced.
"5 copper, 5 copper coins, you hear me!? That's too small amount of reward, don't you think, Rert?" Riana complaining.
"Well, the quest is to gather Moongrass, after all. That's not rare herb, you know."
Even Rert, living his life in a very remote place like his village until today, is knew about this grass.
They could just walked to the mountain at the back of the village for a while and searching at the shadowy areas to find them grew in a bunch.
Moongrass also had a very benefical to fasten the healing process of wound by just crushing it by stone and put it to cover the wound. So, this Moongrass is very popular. Everyone who often going to the forest and do a job with high-risk to getting wound would knew about this herb.
"Look, I already found one, Lady Riana!"
Rert squated in the midst of the bushes. Not long after, he shouted while holding a grass with 4-7 white shimmering petals above green leafs and stem.
Riana sighed at the sight.
Well, in the end I should do it. I had no coin on me right now, after all.
Lowered her shoulders, Riana push herself to start the Herb gathering with the unwillingness to sleep outside.
Even if 5 coppers is not much for her, who used to wielding a bag full of gold, at least she needed them now for her lodging tonight.
