Chapter 4- The Starting Point
----------------------------------------
As I introduced myself to them, the blonde guy started staring at me. I thought to myself, “It’s probably due to my unparalleled beauty. It is such a shame that I am too cute for guys to resist.”
Just after I thought that, he stopped staring and said ,”Hello! I am Isekai man .It's nice to meet you, little girl. Are you sure you want to join the guild? It is dangerous out there, and there are many beasts that could harm you. I think it would be best for you to stay at home and stay safe, don’t worry I will protect you, even if it costs me my life!” He exclaimed.
“Thank you for the concern isekai man. Can I call you Blondie? Yeah I will call you that. Anyway, I am not only old enough to join this guild but I'm also skilled enough.”
“So” he asked, “Are you a legal loll?”
I thought to myself with glee, “as expected this world has that exact same term. It also means that I can gather a harem!!” I responded with, “yes, I am a legal loli.Anyway, can I please know the details of this guild please?”
The lady manning the guild front office responded, “Of course you can! I am Einstein, and that's Tesla over there, killing the fishes by overfeeding them. We are the owners and founders of the guild and town. Please make yourself welcome after filling this Adult Intake Assessment Form. Or should I say, Loli Intake Assessment Form.”
“Ok, do you have a pen, no I mean a writing utensil?” Um yea, we have pens, pencils, magic markers, I will take it as you want a pen? Which pen do you want though? We have gel pens, biros, fountain pens and even ballpoint and rollerball pens!”
“Is this a stationery shop for you to ask me what type of pen I want? Just get me a pen already!”
I started to write furiously on the paper. The form asked for my name and I used my nickname strawberry as I was very cute. When my stats were asked, I remembered that I hadn’t checked my status yet. I yelled for my status in my mind, and there it was, I had persistence 5, magic proficiency 9, pain tolerance 7. My titles were: the almighty holy ignorant one, the wanderer, Other worldly wanderer, as well as idiotic mage. I wrote down the titles except ones that indicated I was from another world, as well as the ignorant ones, what have I done to receive those?
----------------------------------------
Right after I handed her a pen, she started writing on the form as fast as she could. It seemed that she had great penmanship, as well as great agility, by the speed she was writing in.
When she had finished, it had only taken her 10 minutes to fill out all the pages. The information was very easy to read.
I then asked strawberry, “Do you have a weapon?”
“No I do not...” the girl responded, “I only have my clothes and this fabulous hair,”
I continued, “do you have any credits that you could exchange for a weapon?”
Again, “she said no,”
When I asked her if she needed an explanation, she quietly whispered, “yes. Can you please explain.” Right after I had finished the explanation, Tesla came over and said, “hmm… looks like we need to take her to our school.”
I whispered back, “yeah, let's do that”
----------------------------------------
I asked “Um...have you forgotten about me? What about me? You let her join without a weapon! But you still haven’t talked to me yet!”
“We have a preposition for the both of you. How would you like to go to our school? You get a free weapon and training!”
I said, “ Sure, I accept! After all, a free weapon would make the life of the main character much easier. “I turned to the Loli and asked, “wanna go together?”
She responded with, “Of course. What's the catch though?”
Einstein said, “The catch is that you will have to stay here for the duration of the training and you also have to promise you wont go crazy for adventuring. We literally know nothing about what's out there.”
“Who is going to do the training anyway? You guys?” Then a very squeaky voice spoke up, “I can train adventurers. Pick me! There is literally no one better to train you then the great warrior Achilles of the Greeks, destroyer of the Trojans. And don’t worry, my heels are covered with armor that is on par with what Ares puts on when he goes into battle.
“Ah yes! Achilles! Whatever. Wait... Achilles?! Well whoever made this world is very weird. C'mon, they are giving us B-tech cheats! I previously thought that the gods were helping us flimsy adventurers. But seriously though, what is up with that voice? It's so squeaky. Wow!
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Then Tesla said ,”ahoys! Hello, it is nice to meet you!” He said, “So you are the guy in the legends I suppose! That's quite interesting as well! I read your legends so , I mean if Einstein is ok with it,” *Tesla turns to Einstein
She nodded and winked at Tesla and said to Achilles, "Welcome To The Team”
“As he got his spear out of seemingly nowhere, with some sort of inventory magic. It has to be, or is it because I am here that he has it? Nah that can;t be it unless I am the true protagonist right? The protagonist, yeah I have to be.”
“So uh, Achilles, what powers and equipment do you have?” I inquired, filled with curiosity
----------------------------------------
“Oh this equipment? Well what I currently have on is just a t-shirt with joggers, they are nothing special but I also got my spear as well as these heel protectors I got and I am now immortal so yeah that's that. OH and Tesla and Einstein and the others like 497 geniuses also are.”
Tesla and Einstein both nodded and Tesla responded “Yeah that's true, after all I am like the fixer upper guy here.”
So I asked them.” What kind of training they wanted, intensive, hard, or above average or normal personal training?”
The blond guy said, I want to take the above average training please, and the Loli behind him said, I would like to take above average as well please.
I thought to myself I wonder how well the little girl is going to be able to put up with these training lessons, anyways.
Well I asked her what her class was and she responded, “Oh me?? My class is of course the mage/wizard class!
I turned to Tesla and whispered I am a warrior not a wizard, should I bring Rasputin or Nostradamus to teach them? Or should I help them with just the basics of magic I know?
Tesla told me, you know we are sorta tight on credits right now, so just you is fine, for now.
Great news, I will teach you magic but in turn you have to take warrior training too, so you won’t be a defenseless wizard, but also an able bodied individual who can fight without magic, so in case you get in that situation is that ok wit5h you two?
Of course, that's actually better, it would let us become stronger than we could have separately so thank you, Sensei!
I said Oh my heel itches, please turn around, as they turned around I took it off and scratched my itchy spot. I said, oh I wish I didn't have this smooth and soft spot. Then Tesla turned around and asked, was that you??
I let out a high pitched scream while I covered up my heel and said, yes that is my real voice but to cover my weaknesses of my heel, but the squeaky voice is its side effect, I explained.
Well that was sure a surprise I said, and started laughing putting back on my heel protector, anyways your lessons will start today, As I was going to grab my equipment Tesla asked if I wanted any materials for anything, and I responded, yes, I would like something that would help me have a deep voice instead of this squeaky voice when I wear these heel protectors.
Then Einstein started to laugh for some reason, she said, did you say you wanted a deeper voice? I got the answer to your problems and that answer is sulfur hexafluoride, also known as deep voice gas,
She said follow me , I started to follow her, as she was summoned here as a genius so she must know!
Then Einstein started to open a door of a building, it seemed like a three story school, there were many rooms, but when we got to the third floor we entered the room with the number 4, she said it won’t be permanent but it will serve as a temporary relief from your problem.
Well as long as I don't have this voice I will be fine with it.
She called for Tesla and said hey can you get some oxygen cans and some fluoride? Please ask the gods that are employing you, ok I will try, He then stepped out of the room, I could hear him say Call Gods and something responding which god would you like to contact? Tesla said, I would like to contact Hermes., god of trade, wealth and more,
2 seconds later
Yo, is this working? Anyways, what would you like today? Oh me I would like some oxygen tanks, a chemistry set, alot of fluoride and some chocolate.
I could hear Hermes say ok, here it is that it will be 30,000 dollars, Tesla said, I don't need to pay, I made an agreement with the god's counsel, so yeah thanks, Plus Hermes you should know this aren't you a businessman? Hermes said oh no, I knew about the agreement already, I was just testing you. Hermes mumbled. He left and got the things and left
Now he came in with the items and said look what I got, it turns out I don’t have to pay, they are nice.
I squinted and started to laugh and said you didn't trick them did you?
He laughed nervously and said noooooo, and he glanced to the right.
----------------------------------------
As I laughed I thought about how the god did not know that I had scammed him, for I already had gotten my previous delivery a week ago for iron, and weapons.
I checked my status and it had a new title, "The Man Who Outwitted The Gods” I thought to myself well I guess that fits what I did, but this is an emergency!
As I thought to myself, Einstein was conducting those experiments for Achilles and I checked my chocolate bar, it was a bar of chocolate that never ran out, and gave you all the nutrition you needed. God's foods sure are convenient huh. I went and put it in the freezer to keep it from melting,
Einstein was finally doe and gave the guy a bit of it, it turned out that he had a deep voice but not had to have some canisters around with him, but to my surprise he had a solution to that, he had storage magic, I thought to myself, wow this isekai logic is Sooo cool!
Now that he had gotten it , his voice sounded deeper but it was still not like a normal voice but was closer, he was happy with that to which I said, well it's better than that squeaky voice huh.
Yeah it is Achilles responded but it's still better than that split edged hair cut of yours right tesla?
Well You are right I should get a haircut I acknowledged, wait, what did you say about my hair?
Einstein chuckled and said guys,stop arguing, and let's just go to the new recruits, We said yes mam, and followed her over to the guilds school area.
