Chapter #2 Adventurer's guild & Adventurers

In the royal capital, buildings were mostly 2-storied. And as arsh was heading for adventurer's guild, he came to halt and looked up to adventurer's guild. 3-storied Adventurer's guild building as it stood there, looking sturdy not too flashy and there you can see a big sign board carved on it "Main branch of the adventurer's guild of Drac'Rst".

So coool!! So this is the adventurer's guild! Alright! I just have to go and register myself as an adventurer! Right! Here goes nothing!

Arsh looked at the guild's entrance as he began moving and entered the adventurer's guild.

                       XXXXXXX

Arsh was in awe as he was standing inside the guild. To his left there were adventurers taking up quests as they were looking at the quest board. And his right was stairs connecting first, second and third floor. On the first floor was tavern, some adventurers were chatting and laughing sitting together whilst eating and drinking. On the second floor was guild master room, where guild master do his work and attends his important guest and on the third floor was inn.

Arsh was watching and admiring adventurers who were geared up with different kinds of armors and weapons as he unconsciously walked up at the reception counter.

"Welcome to the adventurer's guild main branch. May I help you, sir?" Arsh's chain of thoughts interrupted by a sweet voice.

Arsh looked at the receptionist behind the counter, he opened his mouth but no words came out. In his village there were girls but not as pretty as her, arsh was dumbstruck as he stood still staring at her face with his sharp eyes. He had heard stories from few village folks who make their trip to the near city for business, about elves were prettiest but he can confirm that she was a human girl. Her brown hair braided as she was looking at him with her brown big eyes, her red lips form slight smile and slight pink blush on her white cheeks . Receptionist felt little uncomfortable by arsh's gaze and decided to ask again.

 "Hrm. May I help you with something? "

Arsh struggled as he finally form some words. "I..i..i.. want to become adventurer"

 "I see. So, you want to become adventurer" receptionist replied softly as she took out a form and gave it to arsh. "You have to fulfil this form. Fill only what you can understand and then we'll proceed further"

 "Y-yes!"

 Arsh gave her energetic reply and began to fill the blanks. His name, age, gender, race, village name and that much is obvious, arsh didn't know about his skills. After that he handed the form back to receptionist. 

 Receptionist took the form from arsh and disappeared inside the room behind the counter. After a short while later she came back and handed him a copper plate and began describing guild's rules.

 "Here. It is your proof that you are an adventurer from now on. If you happen to lose it, then you have to pay five gold coins as a penalty and penalty will multiple according to your rank because it's an adventurer responsibility to keep it safe. It has your name carved, it works as your identity as well. You have just joined so you're received this copper plate and as you progress and rank up, we'll give you new plate according to your rank. There are 6 rank there. Copper, Ruby, Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum."

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

 Receptionist took a deep breath, satisfied with herself and nodded.

 "Do you want to ask something you don't get it?" She asked arsh. 

Arsh was clenching the plate in his hand so hard that his hand turned red.

Yes! That's it! I'm an adventurer now!

 Arsh looked at straight at receptionist' face.

"How to become a hero?"

 "Ehhhh" receptionist made a stupid sound as she was looking at arsh back, loss for words.

 "Cough" she cleared her throat and looked at arsh with serious expression.  "What did you say?! You want to become a hero?!"

 She unconsciously raised her voice, enough to reach to every adventurer in the floor room. All adventurer's attention now at the reception counter. Receptionist shrieked as she realized what she had done.

 "Yes! I want to become a hero! So tell me how can I became a hero!"

Arsh was ignorant of receptionist's feeling or adventurers gazes. As he confessed in loud voice.

She rolled her eyes nervously as she heard him, she didn't know, to laugh or to cry at this situation. 

"Hey, you kiddo! What did you say, what do you want?"

An adventurer stood behind arsh as he asked him. Two meter tall, on his shoulder rest a big axe, thick and sharp blade and as long as his own arm, bald head, wide eyes and on his face plastered amusing smile. Looking down at arsh.

"Yes! I want to become a hero! Baldy sir!"

Guild floor resounded with noises as all adventurers burst into laughter. It was likely forbidden word and no one call him that except some of his close friends.

"You brat! What did you call me!"

Adventurer raised his voice as he asked arsh.

"Yes! Baldy sir!"

Adventurer enraged as his face turned red. He grabbed arsh's collar and lifted him.

"Are you making fun of me!"

Arsh tilted his head innocently as he looked at adventurer. 

"No, baldy sir."

"Do you not like your body in one piece! Are you asking for beating? "

Adventurer spat this words as his head was in steam. 

"Okay. that's enough, neil. He's just a kid"

Another adventurer came to them and said to neil (baldy).

"What? Do you wanna go with me, dai?

"I never said that. I meant, let him go, since he doesn't know about you. You're a experienced adventurer, you know. Have some self control"

Receptionist was shrinking behind the counter while watching them.

"S-sir. Inside the guild v-violence is n-not a-allowed" She stuttered as she said that.

Dai turned his head and looked at her with gentleness in his eyes.

"It's fine. You needn't to worry so much, chiyoko"

"Umm... yes" chiyoko replied (receptionist) nervously. 

Chiyoko wasn't new in adventurer's guild, its just as her nature like that. Soft, gentle and nervous in this kind of situation. 

Dai was an experienced silver rank adventurer. Blonde hair, elegant expression on his handsom face, golden eyes slightly narrowed. He was a third son of middle level noble house, so he didn't have had much of choice but he was still intelligent and mastered in swordsmanship. He decided to became adventurer, as it was still good status among nobles. He had been adventuring for 6 years now and because of his hard work he was still alive and a respectable adventurer, it was kind of rare for nobles since they don't do much of physical work as much as commoners, nor there was any need. Just unlucky nobles who born as third and fourth son in line, have to live their life as commoners or worst.

Dai's party members came from one corner as they too were amused watching this scene and stood behind dai.

Neil finally cooled down and he put arsh back, gave him warning before leaving. 

"Dai came to show off before chiyoko, how romantic"

"Sssh. Idiot! Keep it down"

"But to think, there was someone who will declare that, he will become a hero"

"Yeah and he didn't even look like he was embarrassed"

"Yup, yup!"

Dai's party members were whispering while looking at arsh head to toe.

"He was daring enough to confess his dream even if it is impossible, after all, not everyone can do that"

Dai was staring at chiyoko as he said that and felt a pain in his heart. His party members felt silent as they understood the meaning behind those words.

Dai approached to arsh and extended his as he introduced himself. 

"Hello. I'm dai, nice to meet you. You are rookie, are you not?"

Arsh looked at his face, took dai's hand and shook it while nodding. 

"Yes, sir! I'm arsh! Let's get along!"

Arsh showed his white teeth as he smiled.
