“That is called potion made from an alchemist. That blue liquid is same as healing mage. He used that liquid to stop his injury and to heal back his injury. You’ll learn it in class after this,” said Myrell as she just explained briefly.
She then pointed her hand to her left side and said, “that building is called scout tower. They will collect information regarding Eldeize continent and gave that information to information center. I don’t recommend you went inside it unprepared. It’s best to at least have a scout guide you if you have any business inside.”
“The building behind this headquarter is boarding apartment, where all apprentice must stay as long as they are Order’s staff.”
“Let’s go inside Order’s headquarter first to get you register as it’s already 8 pm,” said Myrell as she looked at her pocket watch. She then opened Order’s headquarter main door followed by Kyle. Inside, Kyle could see a long corridor with rooms at his right and left side. This corridor floor is made of rich wool material and red in colour. There was also a counter at his right side near the main door, “again?” said Kyle in surrender look.
Myrell proceed to that counter and greeted a girl wearing staff vest behind it. Kyle just sighed while following her. How many goddamn questions must he answer this time. Myrell then said, “give me entrant form, agreement form and identity form for apprentice warden please.”
“Yes mad-,” as she look above and saw Myrell in angry face, she immediately change her bored tone to smiling face “yes miss Myrell.”
She then gave Myrell 3 thick documents and a feather quill. There was already black ink inside the quill tube. Myrell then take those 3 documents and sat beside Kyle at leather couch near the counter.
“Now Kyle, finish this 3 forms before we proceed for anything else,” said Myrell as she gave those 3 thick documents to Kyle.
‘That’s fast,’ think Kyle in his mind. Pleased as he doesn’t have to answer questions 30 percents important and 70 percents crap.
As he open agreement forms, he read a long essay, very, very long essay.
1: Do you agreed to serve in The Order.
2: Do you agreed to hunt any chaos art user for Eldeize continent safety.
3: Do you agreed not to be involve in any of 3 nations politic.
4: bla bla bla bla… as Kyle saw there were at least 100 questions, he ignores everything and turn to last page. There, he needs to sign his name as agreement purpose between him and The Order. He just wrote KYLE as his signature.
He then open entrant form and saw a very long essays. 1: Do you agreed not to damage any Order’s building. 2: Do you agree dnot to bring any servant/maids into your hostel. 3: bla bla bla, and Kyle just skip to the last page and signed his name.
“You should read your forms more carefully. You can get in trouble later if you break any agreement,” advised Myrell as she saw Kyle just read the first page and skip to last page.
“But I hate formality. My way in life is move your body to eat. That’s how I survive until now. Now, let’s just sign the 3rd form and get going,” said Kyle to Myrell in protest.
Kyle then opened his identity form. He thought he just could skip to last page and sign the form. What he saw was not long line of essay, but long line of questions. From first page to last page, everything was written in questions, “FUCK!”
Myrell who saw Kyle reaction laughed merrily, “bwahahaha. Now you feel what it means to do paper works. You shall taste what I have taste every day. Hahahaha,” said Myrell as she laughed.
Kyle then take his quill and -
1: What is your name: Kyle
2: what is your father’s work: farmer
3: what is your mother’s work: farmer
4: do you have any guardian: yes
5: what’s your guardian name (left blank if you don’t have any guardian): uncle Rupert and aunt Jeanna
6: what’s your guardian status: farmer
7: what’s your status: commoner
And the question goes on, and on until the fiftieth question
50: what is your arcane art: impact force
After he finished writing everything while sighing, staring at wall, and humming, He then stand up and shout, “I’m freeeee.”
“Now we shall proceed to another formal works, which require you to move around this district,” said Myrell to Kyle, making Kyle kneeling on the floor and hitting it with his hand.
With heavy heart as he drags his legs, Kyle followed Myrell to 3rd floor of Order’s headquarter. There, they went to another counter and Kyle gave his identity and agreement form. A staff behind the counter then stamps Kyle’s form with Shield symbol after checking his 2 forms for 20 minutes. They then went to 4th floor to Stamp Kyle’s entrant form.
They then went to 2nd floor counter, and Kyle gave his all 3 documents to a staff. She then takes all 3 forms and stores it inside a cabinet. She then gave Kyle 1 paper written as ‘apprentice warden acceptance letter’ and told Kyle to give it to master warden later.
“Finished already?” ask Kyle in tiredness.
“Not yet, we’ll go to medical facility next,” said Myrell.
They then walked out of Order’s headquarter and went to medical facility beside it. Kyle saw 2 doors in front of him, 1 written as ‘emergency’, and another door written as ‘main door’. Myrell then walked into medical facility followed by Kyle using main door. Inside, Kyle could see 2 counter booths. 1 written as ‘information booth’ and another as ‘check in’ booth.
Myrell said, “if you have any injury that is not life threatening, then you’ll need to go to check in booth, but if you have great injury such as your arm has been cut, you’ll enter through emergency door. Right now, we shall go to information booth,” said Myrell.
“Yes ma’am,” said Kyle. Slipping his mouth as he already tired from long procedure and -
DUSH!
Myrell hit him in his stomach strongly. Kyle then followed Myrell to information booth while cringing in pain.
“May I help you, miss Myrell,” said one staff in respectful attitude at information booth, don’t want to repeat Kyle’s mistake. That punch could make ordinary adult like her lay in medical facility bed for 2 days.
“This boy here needs medical check up for apprentice warden,” said Myrell to her.
“Follow me then,” she said as she walks to 1 room followed by Myrell and Kyle, who still cringing in pain. Inside, there were many equipments and a beautiful lady wearing white jacket sitting on a chair at her working desk.
“Doctor, miss Myrell bring this boy…” she looked at Kyle in questioning look.
“Kyle,” said Kyle to that doctor.
“Miss Myrell bring Kyle for apprentice warden check up,” said staff girl to lady in white jacket.
The doctor the bring out a paper form from inside of her desk and gave it to staff girl, She then told Kyle to stand at height gauge and record his height, 165cm. After that she check Kyle’s weight, Kyle’s pulse, weight lifting, reaction speed, and Kyle’s health, is he healthy enough to perform warden’s job?
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
After checking everything, she signed Kyle’s medical health acceptance letter which is ‘passed’ and told Kyle to give it to master warden. Kyle and Myrell then went out of medical facility and enter Order’s headquarter.
Inside Order’s headquarter, Myrell and Kyle went to 5th floor, which is the highest floor inside this building. When Kyle entered this floor using stairs, he saw golden color light everywhere unlike other’s building which usually used blue color lighting. Kyle could see many magical lamps on this floor ceiling. The carpet here also uses fine wool plus soft fur in white color. Before he takes any step further, Myrell told Kyle to change his boots to indoor type shoes at nearby shoes rack.
They went to reception counter in front of large door made purely out of gold, made purely in fucking GOLD. Whether the door’s knob, the door’s frame, everything is gold. That make Kyle drool in greed before realizing a girl at reception desk was looking at him weirdly.
“Welcome to Master warden floor, what’s your business here,” said the reception girl who is so beautiful, elegant with shiny black hair, white fair skin like a dove and alluring smile. ‘Damn, that’s girl should just married a prince and live happily ever after. She can even make 3 nations war against each other with that face,’ thought Kyle as he look at her, who are in her twenties.
“Hello Lina, is Master Renalt inside?” asked Myrell in cheerful voice.ed
“Yes Myrell, what are you doing here at this time? Shouldn’t you do your jobs?” ask Lina who change his smiling face to annoyed face seeing Myrell.
“Don’t be so strict. Conrad told me to bring this boy here to register him as apprentice warden,” said Myrell in her cheerful voice.
“You could just tell one of your staff to handle it right? Why did you handle this personally?” asked Lina as she doubt her motive.
“You know that I like to help people right? See this boy, he look so lost. We the Order’s staff should guide people who need help and-”
“Are you trying to spout nonsense Myrell? We have known each other since kids. We even enter as staff in training when we were in same age,” said Lina to Myrell.
Kyle felt suprised hearing both of them are in same age. He look at heavily make up face of Myrell, then look at Lina natural beauty face. He cannot believe his eyes, ‘although Myrell is beautiful, but she still looks like 34 or 35 years old woman. How is she in same age as Lina, who only look in her early twenties? That’s ridiculous.’
Knock!
Myrell knocked Kyle’s head when she saw Kyle looking at her in pity eyes and looking at Lina in admiring eyes. She then said, “what, you think I’m not as pretty as her?” asked Myrell in demanding tone.
“Well, miss. It’s not like you’re not pretty. You’re as beautiful as any women in her thirtieth could be, but when I’m looking at you and…Lina, it’s like looking at older sister standing next to her little sister. It’s just, she looks very young,” said Kyle in hesitation, afraid to anger Myrell and receive her punch again.
“Who’re you calling older sister huh? Do you know Conrad, Lina and me is in same age. The three of us came from same city in Elderam kingdom and enter The Order at the same time.”
“Yeah right Myrell, when Conrad said he want to become Order’s warden, you forcefully drag me along to enter The Order at the same time,” said Lina, sighing at her friend’s behavior.
Lina then heard a voice coming from her magic ball, “send them in.”
“You guys can enter,” said Lina as she pushed a green button at her table.
Kyle and Myrell enter the golden door, and Kyle was stunned as he look at how crazy rich this room is. This room is huge, completely furnished with leather couch, 2 big bookshelves, with beautiful flowers surrounding this room, and the wall is made of glass.
Outside of that glass, Kyle could see a beautiful garden with many trees and waterfall. He could imagine how great it is if he could just lay beside it, hearing water drops while sleeping on soft grass. The scenery looks so calming making Kyle forgot he is still inside a building right now.
“Have a seat,” said a manly voice.
Kyle could see a mature looking man in his late fortieth with muscular body, natural short white hair and neatly trimmed beard. He wears a rich looking shirt with shiny golden vest outside of it, and his appearance makes Kyle want to kneel down in respect.
“My name is Renart, The Order’s Master warden. I heard you want to be apprentice warden from Lina,” said Renart as he gave Kyle a warm smile.
Although Kyle could see how friendly Master Renart is, he could not help but felt like a rat sitting in front of a lion. Renart gave a very strong aura, like a general who has waging war everyday in his entire life. He could feel how easily Renart could kill him with only one slap.
“mmmy nname iisz KKyle sirz,” stuttered Kyle as he tried to control his nervousness. He just stand there like a stone. He forgots everything about his surrounding and even Myrell. He only see Renart right now, a figure too big to focus on anything else.
“You look nervous Kyle. Have a sit first and Myrell, have you finished your work yet?” ask Renart.
“Err, my staff is doing it right now Master,” said Myrell while fidgeting.
Renart then glance at Myrell. Before he could say anything –
“I’ll go and finish my work right now, Master,” Myrell left Renart’s room as fast as she can.
As Kyle was sitting in front of Master warden’s desk, he curse as he saw Myrell leave him, ‘damn you Myrell. How dare you left me alone in this situation.’
“Then Kyle, you said you want to be apprentice warden right. Why you want to be a warden?” ask Renart as he just ignored Myrell behavior.
“For money and better life Sir,” answered Kyle honestly. Yeah, he could spout justice or whatever in front on anyone else, but he didn’t dare to lie to Master Renart.
One wrong answer and he will be digging his own grave.
“That’s an interesting answer Kyle. Usually many kids will say justice, to prevent war, to prevent bloodbath, but your answer is interesting. Now I see why Conrad bring you here,” said Renart as he looked at Kyle interestingly.
“Well, as you’re already tired from your journey, take this Order’s insignia,” he gave Kyle a round small tablet with shield emblem.
Kyle received that insignia and kept it inside his pocket. Renart then said, “use that insignia for Order’s district facility usage. Now, you should go to boarding
apartment behind this headquarter,” and he just dismissed Kyle casually.
