Harry left the castle and got out onto the streets, mulling over what to do next.
(Now then, gathering information first is a must in RPG and it also applies to everything else)
Technically he could have asked the king and such, but there was a risk of getting dragged into something unforeseen and becoming unable to leave the country when he stayed there any longer.
Therefore he left the place as fast as possible. Besides, there were four very capable people. He had concluded that he wasn't needed.
Accessing his knowledge from games, books, and experience, he also remembered the term Guild when thinking about magic. The king had told him that a Guild existed in this world.
Harry decided to ask the townspeople about the location of the Guild. By doing so, he came to know that it was close by.
He headed there to register as an adventure for now. Living and travelling here wasn't free. Somehow or another he had to save up money.
By the way, the money of this world could be stored on a Guild Card. Likewise it was possible to pay with the card. That's what the townspeople taught him.
When he arrived at the Guild, the interior was rather crowded. Sturdy guys, likely adventures, lined up in front of various counters. The nearest counter had a sign above it with register application written on it.
As his black hair and dark eyes were unusual, Harry became the center of attention as soon as he entered. Naturally, since he was dressed in an unfamiliar priest clothes.
He went to the counter, assuming indifferent to all the gazes on him.
"Hey, I want to register."
When he bluntly said that, the woman at the counter explained with a business smile.
Various quests were filed to the Guild. An adventure earned a reward by carrying out these requests. The quests were classified into levels of difficulty from F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS till SSS.
A Guild Card was handed out upon registering, but it served the same purpose as the Citizen Card that all citizens had. An ID so to speak.
The adventurers were ranked into the same categories as the quests as well. Although there were very few adventures with a rank S or above. Particularly the SSS rank had only three adventures from the 'Humas'.
The woman at the counter gave him a white card and told him to drip his blood onto it. He prickled his finger with the small needle he received. After dripping the blood on it, the card started to disperse and vanished.
"Huh? It's gone?"
"Please recite ≪Guild Card≫ in your mind."
When he did as he was told, the card appeared in his hand. But the card wad different than before. It had been completely white, but now it had a blue border.
"The colour represents your rank. From the lowest blue to violet, green, yellow, orange, pink, red, silver, golden and finally black."
Harry listened to the explanations with nods. Looking at his new Guild Card, he confirmed the inscription.
Name: Harry Potter
Sex: Male
Age: 18
From: Unknown
Rank: F
Quest:
Equipment:
-Weapon: Mystic Wish (Wand)
-Guard: Kannagi Robe
-Accessory: Sleipnir
Rigin: 0
He was glad that the FROM column listed his birthplace as unknown. If there had been written that he was from another world, it would have been troublesome to explain. Equipment meant his gear. It was subdivided into Weapon, Guard and Accessory. But he asked about the one thing that bothered him more.
"Hey, what's this Rigin stuff on the card…?"
"Mh? That is the currency…"
The woman tilted her head baffled. Naturally the people of this world knew that Rigin was the currency. But just as natural, Hiiro didn't know that as he was only summoned here a while ago.
On further inquiring, he learned that Rigin nearly had the same value as Japan's yen and that the sixth column Quest displayed his currently active quests.
(Quite a handy card)
With just one single card he could trade and identify himself. Moreover, the card was usually within him and could be taken out at any time.
"Where can I take quests?"
"Please choose from the bulletin board over there. But remember that you are a rank F. You can only accept quests up to one rank above yours, meaning E."
"I see. How do I raise my rank?"
"When carrying out quests and raising in levels, your rank will go up naturally."
"In short, after I completed a number of quests, this blue border will turn… uhm, what was it again?"
"Violet."
"Then it'll turn violet?"
"Yes."
Harry was awestruck at the serviceableness of the card.
"Better not waste any time."
Saying that, he headed for the bulletin board.
Church Roof Repair F
Help repairing the roof of the Amaruq Church. Experience preferred.
Reward: 10000 Rigin
Lucky Herb Harvest F
Collect Lucky Herbs on the Asbit Plateau.
Reward: 300 Rigin per bundle
Goblin Hunt E
Kill 10 goblins in the Clair Forest.
Reward: 35000 Rigin
"Wait the minute, inventory!." Harry thought.
While it may be true that he didn't have any riggins (local currency), he did have his gold currency from Elder Tales and other miscellaneous items and potions.
Harry felt like having a eureka moment. So he went ahead and asked for the nearest bank and found that 1 gold was equals to 10,000 rigins.
"Jackpot." Harry thought.
Harry exchanged an equivalent of a million rigins and went to go sight seeing and splurged a bit of his money though foods, alcohol and the occasional gambling.
By the end of the week, Harry was bored and restless, he already explored what the city has to offer. So Harry took some monster extermination quests.
The monsters were no match for Harry as he bulldozed though them earning him a quick buck and gaining him a reputation as a rising rookie.

In the meantime, the four heroes received training in magic right away. Vale Kimble, the captain of the second division from the Victorias army, was in charge of it.

Each of the four told Vale their ≪Status≫.
"Oh, all of you are so outstanding!"
Listening to them, Vale widened his eyes and leaked an astonished voice.
"What's so outstanding?"
Taishi asked as their representative with a doubtful look.
"Let me explain: Originally one is supposed to only have one attribute. Of course there are exceptions and talented individuals possess more than one, but I never heard of anyone having three or even four attributes. Moreover, the light attribute is basically only used by ‚Pheoms'. That all of you have it shows that you are truly Heroes."
Everyone smiled embarrassed on the exaggerated praise. They were happy, albeit the cheating status.
"And as far as I can tell from your magic, Taishi-sama and Chika-sama are the vanguard type, whereas Shuri-sama and Shinobu-sama are the rearguard type. Your basic statistics seem to confirm this, too."
Indeed, Taishi's and Chika's ≪Status≫ emphasised on attacking, whereas Shuri's and Shinobu's emphasised on defending and supporting. Their magic were in accordance with that too.
"It's quite the balanced party."
"Haha, just like in our online game!"
"Yep!"
Taishi and Chika looked at each other and smiled. The four of them had formed a party in an online RPG before. Even there, Taishi and Chika had been attackers, whereas Shuri and Shinobu were supporters, just like now. They were given the exact same roles in this world.
"I'm sure our ≪Status≫ will grow according with our role when we level up."
"Oho, just like a RPG. By the way, what about you, Captain Vale?"
"You can call me just Vale, Taishi-sama."
"Mh, really? Okay, Vale, what's your level?"
"Mine? I am level 48."
"Woah~ Nothing less from a captain. I guess you get experience points from defeating demons?"
"Indeed. Completing quests will also gain you experience points."
"Quests!?"
All four got hooked.
"Jesus! There are quests!? That means there's a Guild too?"
"Ah, yes. Adventures are registered in a Guild."
They all were in awe with „Ohh~". The words quests and guild certainly pique their interest as they had always admired the game world.
"C- Can we register there too?"
"Why, of course. After some basic training, I would like you to register and polish your skills."
"Hell yeeeeeah~!"
Vale blinked with surprise on their excitement.
"Y- You are this happy about it? Danger always follows an adventurer. I am quite surprised to see you so excited about it."
"Man, it's a Guild! Adventurer, you know! And quests to boost! Naturally this excites you as a gamer! Right, everyone!"
"Yeah, I'm itching to act."
"Yes. I'm a bit scared, but it'll be fine with everyone together."
"Yeah~ You can't really do without a Guild~"
Each of them voiced their opinion.
"That sounds quite promising."
However Vale misunderstand their optimistic thoughts, he felt hope in their brave words and showed a smile.
"Ah, but what about him?"
Taishi asked as he suddenly remembered. Chika reacted to it.
"Him?"
"I mean that Haughty priest."
"Oh, right…"
Chika replied indifferently as she wasn't interested.
"He got involved in all this because of us, right? You know, I feel a bit sorry for him."
"Oh come on, he said he wasn't resenting us, so don't need to worry about him."
"Mhm~ But…"
"To begin with, I don't like his attitude."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, he's always by himself and gives off the vibe that he can do everything by himself. It's not pleasant to watch."
The other three kept silent on Chika's outburst of anger.
He was like air and gone before you noticed it. Either he skipped most of his work altogether or he as a low attention span, a perfect lone wolf, or a loner."
"Was that priest a friend of yours?"
That Vale added dono instead sama to his named showed the difference in their assessment.
"He's no friend!"
"You might say… he's a stranger, we just met after the summoning."
"Mh, I see. But will he really be alright on his own?"
"Eh?"
"Our world is overflowing with danger. The 'Evila' for one, but there are strives between the same race as well. To survive on his own, it is very likely that he will become an adventurer. But it does not seem like he possesses outstanding fighting talents like you, so…"
He might end up dead. Everyone present thought that. A heavy silence hung in the air. Although he wasn't their friend, it was indeed unpleasant to lose a classmate.
During that, Chika was the first to start a conversation.
"Aw, geez! There's no use to worry about such a selfish guy! Instead, let's think about getting stronger first!"
"You sure are vigorous, Chika."
"What, got a problem? Besides, when we defeat the 'Evila' and bring peace, then he can live in peace too, right?"
Everyone had her mouth gaping open on these words. No one imagined that Chika, angry until a moment ago, would voice such a view.
"Chika-chan… You're so kind."
Saying so happily, Shuri showed a smile, whereupon Chika turned bright red and shouted.
"N- No! I was just… Aw, geez! We're done with this topic! No more! Got it?"
The other three looked glad as if to say "Sure, sure".
"Chika-sama has a point. We have to think about training you now."
Everyone nodded upon Vale's words. Then their magic training started.
Back with Harry
Alberta
The port city Alberta where the ocean breeze is always pleasing. The Merchant Guild is also located here. However, you can't find many merchants here because most of the trades that are done here are between in larger cities... A ship that sunk with a large amount of treasure was found recently attracting much interest.
This news were the hottest topic upon the guild, everyone was spreading rumors about the recent sunken ships that crashed some coastline near Alberta.
Harry of course was intrigued by the news, especially since Alberta is quickly becoming a tourist spot attraction.
Harry packed up, not that it was a problem with his inventory space of his enchanted magic bag. He sung a tune and paid a carriage to get there rather than walk on foot. Harry had the money to spend and technically, he was on vacation.
It took 6 hours of travel time and thankfully, it was peaceful and no bandits or monster came after him. Well, if there was, the offending party might wished that they didn't attack this particular carriage.
Harry finally arrived in Alberta and quickly took in the sites. Harry was laughing internally when he was targeted by pickpockets who in turn were zapped by a shock from his enchanted bag that was only keyed in his signature. Harry's laughter gave the thief and the surrounding people the shivers. Nobody steals from Harry potter. Seeing as this was a port city, wild fresh fishes and imported goods came through here daily.
While Harry was sightseeing, he saw a familiar mob of hair from a magician judging by the robes. At first he couldn't believe it, he double checked and triple checked his eyesight.
"Oi, villain with glasses." Harry shouted.
The familiar figure stopped dead in his tracks and his eyes shifted to the source of the disturbance. The figure in question was shocked beyond belief as what he was seeing with his own eyes.
"Harry-kun!?, how?." The figure asked in disbelief.
"So it really is you Shiroe-kun."
