"Oh my, welcome back princess ludia! What business do you have with ust today?"
After we woke up and ate our breakfast, ludia suggested that we go to the guild and explain how this whole adventuring thing works, to kill time before school starts on next monday, right now its friday so we will be spending the weekend doing quests. Ludia said that if she hires me as a temporary servant, i could join her lessons at school and help her learn, though it should be her helping me. The guild is about a 30 minute walk away from the royal palace. It is a huge building which gives off the feeling of a hotel. It has 3 floors with the first floor reserved for a restaraunt and reception, in the second floor are offices for counseling adventurer and on the highest floor is for guild employees.
"Hello maria! I came here today with my friend to register her as an adventurer and then you could maybe explain how quests and status plates work."
This is it! I finally get to slay monsters, get famous troughout the continent and create a harem from all the damsels i saved in distress! As i was focused in my delusions and unconsciously fidgeting, the older sister behind the counter brutally shattered my dreams.
"You mean this elf girl here? I'm sorry ludia, but to be registered as an adventurer you need to be atleast 10 years old, and doesn't she seems... how should i put it... 'Weak'?"
"Puhah" I felt like i was punched in the stomach and all air escaped from my lungs. I collapsed on the floor and held my right hand on my chest like i was in pain.
"What do you mean maria? i registed on my 7th birthday?" Ludia tilted her and blinked her eyes in wonder.
"It was changed to a minimum of 10 years 2 years ago. I can still explain the basics on being an adventurer if you are interested."
"How about it luna? It's fine if you don't register because if one of us is registered then we can still accept quests...but you won't be able to learn any skills from the guild or improve your rank."
"Y-yes... I'm okay with that." I slowly got up from the floor and pretended to be fine.
"Then how about we create you an unofficial status plate, luna? You can use it to inspect your status and compare it with the princess." Status plates eh? Maybe i can gain fame with my stats and the guild master himself will beg me to join and save this city from dragons!
"Yes please!"
Maria guided us to the second floor and made us sit on a couch in an empty office. She left but came back soon with a needle, band aid and the status plate. Cold sweat ran down and i swallowed my saliva as the needle approached me.
"I need to take a drop of your blood for the status plate luna, give me your right hands index finger."
Maria grabbed my hand i tried to hind behind my back and injected the needle in my fingertip.
"Auuu" i cried with teary eyes as the stinging pain hit me like a truck. Ludia patted my head and comforted me.

"Well done little sister, i almost cried when i got my status plate too!"
Maria placed the drop of blood on the status plate and my blood was sucked in. Letters then appeared, starting by my name and ending at blessings.

Thankfully, maria didn't read the status plate but instead handed it over to me, as reading other people's status plates without their permission is forbidden even for guild employees. Ludia immediately tried to snatch the card out of my hands but i knew she would do that so i held it tightly between my chest and hands.
"Muu, you're so boring luna, let me see already, i can show you mine too!" Ludia pouted as maria was holding her back.
"Let's wait until we leave the guild, please ludia." If i showed this to ludia right now, she would make a commotion, then maria would take a look too. Then i would be forced to be an exclusive healer for the guild! I'm sure of it. Ludia then stopped struggling and maria started explaining my status plate.
"You should see different numbers on your plate next to your basic stats like strength, endurance etc. The numbers simply indicate how strong those stats are and the letters infront of them mean which class they are in. For an example, if your strenght was F00 and you improved your physical strengh by exercising, it would eventually reach F100 and after that it would turn into E00 and after that it would change into D00. Classes start from E and stop at S+ so there is alot of room for improvement but so far only the hero has managed to get a basic stat to S+100. Quests also work in the same manner so even a beginner can take E-ranked missions. Highest level possible is 250 for all races."
if it's possible to improve then my name being spread troughout the continent is only a matter of time! Kekeke...
"Maria, do you have any E-ranked quests available? We need atleast three of those to properly introduce luna to adventuring."
Maria then guided us to a notice board on the first floor and recommended us quests. After grabbing 3 of them, ludia and i bowed and thanked maria before leaving out of the guild. As soon as we got out of the guild, ludia took me to a dark, empty street where common thugs would appear and demanded me to show my status plate.
"Let's exchange our plates at the same time, alright?" Ludia pleaded.
"Sure, if you promise that you won't faint from my amazing stats! Hmph!"
We took each others' plates and soon after...
"Ahahaha, y-your strenght is actually E 24, i'm suprised you can even eat by yourself, you're such a weakling luna! Kukuku!"
"S-shut up ludia, my dog is smarter than you and i don't even have a dog! Anyways, hurry up and look at my magic already!"
"Magic eh? Let's see... Kuk!... Luna, why didn't you tell me earlier?! This is amazing, i haven't seen anyone with an S+ stat before... and you even have a magic exclusive to demons... and that is S-ranked too! What are you?! And a blessing from the goddess of beauty!" Ludia's pupils widened as she kept reading and the plate started slightly cracking from her tight grasp motivated by envy. After she read that i also had a blessing from a goddess the status plate shattered and pieces of it dropped on the ground.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING LUDIA?!" I screamed at her as she turned to walk away from the dark street with a blank expession.
"Shut up luna, we have quests to complete so hurry up already, i won't wait for you."
I took my last glance at ludia's status plate and ran after her.
