Registration

The first thing I saw when I woke up was the receptionist who for some reason became very clingy when I woke up, then I go to the guild master office the moment I could stand by myself.

The old man called Gedolot only stay silent while he is seeing me in his desk.

“You can be a member of the magic guild, but to complete the registration documents need to be filled, first, your name”

The registration was very simple, name, age, gender and birthplace, it was really the typical document to register any fantasy guild, there wasn't a problem with the first three, but the last, the last can be a problem.

“Is Refia Village in Emory kingdom”

Well is a half lie half truth the exact place I was born I don't remember, it was a castle in some part of the Gardwell territory, it was a quiet place, in that place a maid was the one who breastfeed me since my mother had gatherings to attend, then when I didn't need to be breastfed anymore, my mother come to take me to the main mansion of the Gardwell household, then I lived the life Diana Gardwell would live and if I say the capital of Emory kingdom will only come with more questions that I don't want to answer so my best option was to say a randome village in Emory.

“...That's unexpected”

“There is a problem?”

“No, your reasons to join are unimportant to us, but remember that if war broke out in the two countries you will be in custody”

“Haha~, you don't need to worry about me~”

That's true, since I am exiled of Emery, I don't have reasons to go back there or help them in any way.

“Now, with all done, I will give you some explanation about the guild. There are investigation teams to search magic, sadly you can't join them right now and all members need to contribute in the magic guild in some way, if you are unable contribute after half a year of your registration then you will be expulsed of the guild, mainly taking the commissions in the board one time a month will ensure your place here, but if you created a new type of magic and teach other members of the magic guild to learn it we will give you a big sum of money and will give you a high place in the magic guild, this will also give you enough contribution to stop for two years, then you will need to contribute again”

“Wow, that's a lot, and why if someone created a new magic a high place is given to that person?”

“Creating a new magic will mean that you discovered or take notice of something of the world that no one did before, and creating a new type of magic is more difficult than creating a new weapon, creating a potion, finding a new plant or having trading routes in three or more kingdoms and creating a new magic mean that you are intelligent enough to have that place”

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

Well, I am not sure if it is more difficult but better left it that way.

“What are the benefits to have a high place in the magic guild?”

“Apart of the two year exempt of contributions, if there are ways to increase the magic power capacity, to have a better control in magic or having opportunities to make relations with the people of the nobility, all that can be given to you if you escalate a high position in the magic guild and a great part of the academies are always in need of capable magic teachers if you are contracted by one, your life can be ensured”

Apart of the interaction of the nobility all the other things interest me and having ways to increase my magic power capacity is a must.

I can use the sound proof barrier but I fear that there are people to use it in a bad way like assassination, actually all the magics I could give to them could make the difference in a fight or a war.

Well since I have some tricks in my sleeve I will try to use a magic that will be not that helpful, but since I don't know what magics are there, is better to do that later, first I have some questions

“Why the guild is so empty?”

“There are very few of people who can have the same magic power capacity as you, and they are not always in the big villages or cities of the kingdoms, some of them reach the guild, others not, in this city, if you exclude us here, there are only 4 members of the magic guild here in Visan”

“And why you have a big bear, is not annoying to have it all the time?”

“Say that when you get bald!”

“S-sorry!”

With a heavy sigh he stand out of his desk.

“Marcy, made the arrangements to get this kid in the magic school in the next week”

“Yes sir Gedolot”

WAIT?, what? school again!?

“Why I will go to the magic school?”

“Kid, you are underaged to be a working force to us, all the kingdoms prohibited all the guilds to use kids under the age of sixteen as working forces outside the cities or in dangerous works, but that not mean you are incapable to contribute, you will work as an assistant for another member of the magic guild, he always is in need of assistants, your pay will be the school tuition, this arrangement is not negotiable and will be the only way for you to continue in the magic guild, the other researchers already found their assistants, the search teams are full too and the comissions are dangerous, so is this the only way to still be part of the magic guild”

“Then why I did the test if I would be unable to work before I turn sixteen?”

“Are you deaf?, I said we lack people, better to nurture the talent than let it wasted away”

So you can use them later, right?

“Don't worry, it will be fun, having three years of school can give you a better understanding of the world”

“I will be fourteen in a month!”

“Then two years, but you will attend school, the magic guild don't want stupid people in our ranks”

Damn, school for two more years, well better start now since I can.

“Okay then, until I am sixteen I will go to school, when I will depart?”

“Two days, better prepare your luggage”

"So soon!"

"Don't look down in the magic guild kid, we have conections in many places"

With that my next two years are decided.
