Chapter 237: The Five Combat Type Divisions!
Soon, Weyron and the players with him arrived. Due to their huge number, the monsters blocking their way were easily taken care of. That said... Before they could even get close—around fifty meters away from the registration area where Pedro and the demi-human slaves were waiting, a giant eagle flew down in front of them.
Then, when it was near the entrance of the registration area, it gently hovered down into the ground and cried, "Kwiiiiyaaaak!"
The face of the demi-human slaves went pale as Faunia simply raised her right brow as if she was familiar with the gigantic eagle. On the other hand, the players could not help but be more cautious in their advance as they stare at the giant eagle—wary of the actions it makes.
"Don't be afraid! Just keep advancing! We have the Great Archer with us!" A voice within the crowd bravely shouted.
This, in turn, rallied the hearts of the players—consequently removing the fear they had in their hearts. That said, the eagle simply glanced towards them with a smirk. Then, in the next second, it started to shrink until they could only see the figure of a woman in a distance.
At this moment, the players could not help but shout in astonishment. Some of them even had theirs eyeballs seemed like it wants to pop out from their sockets. While some of them had their jaws drop wide open.
Soon, the woman disappeared from their sight as she entered the registration area that was patiently waiting for them. And it was only at that moment that the group of players was able to return to their pacing as they progress forward to the Registration area of the Adventurer's Guild.
At this moment, Sabrina had casually entered the registration area—ignored the registration booth, and headed straight to Pedro. She said, "Dear, I am back!"
Faunia could not help but force out a smile in response, like what someone makes after hearing a cringe line. Of course, Sabrina noticed it in response. So, Sabrina glanced at Faunia and asked, "I did not know that you are back!"
Faunia simply scoffed in response and said, "Do you even need to know that I am back, human?"
Sabrina's eyebrows furrowed as her eyes turned all-red as it glared towards Faunia. Her fists were tightly clenched making Pedro force out a smile. Fortunately, Faunia seemed unaffected by Sabrina's annoyance and simply retained her calm demeanor.
So, Pedro took this chance to interject by saying, "H-How was the trip? And… Where's Direction Idiot?"
Pedro glanced behind Sabrina—trying to find Loren. However, he was not able to spot even a strand of Loren's hair. So, Pedro could only glance back at Sabrina as he waits for her answer.
Since Pedro intervened, Sabrina could only calm herself—easing up his fists and forehead as her eyes went back to their normal state. Then, she shook her head and sighed, before saying, "I left her with Killer Smile! After all… The task of Killer Smile was very dangerous! It would not hurt to allow Sis Direction to be with him just in case! Besides… It's not that my job here would be that hard. I could handle it by myself at the least!"
Truth be told, Pedro had the same worry a few hours back. That said, he wanted to trust Mathew, Loren, and Sabrina's decision on whether Loren would go back with Sabrina or not. So, he simply left the final decisions to the three.
Well… Mathew was more than enough to guard the body of Werewolf Tam. However, they know that they can't still rule out the possibility of something unexpected from occurring. So, it was only normal for them to consider a contingency plan in case something bad happens.
In any case, Mathew, Loren, and Sabrina decided to choose the safer path. After all, Guarding Werewolf Tam was a far more important task than Guarding the Resting Area. And with the arrival of Sabrina, the temporary staff of the Adventurer's Guild is all filled.
Pedro simply handed over a card made of gold with three stars carved in it. Then, he scratched the back of his head and said, "My Dear… This is your Identification Card! Please take good care of it and never lose it! It would be your ticket in and out of the Adventurer's Guild in the future."
Sabrina simply grabbed the golden card and said, "You are my ticket in and out of this organization! Besides… Even if I lose the golden card… Can your men even stop me from entering if I wanted to?"
"Aish! Don't speak like that!" Pedro said whilst keeping his forced-out smile. Then, he continued, "I know that they are not strong enough to fight you but… Let's avoid trouble if there was no need for an argument in the first place!"
"I got it! I got it!" Sabrina grumbled in response. Then, she glanced to Pedro and asked, "My Dear… Where's the place that I am going to look after?"
Pedro simply nodded in response and said, "It is located on the left side of the Market Area! It's the Renting Area! And you know what you are going to do, right? All you need to do is to manage the resting area… Make sure that the adventurers would pay the renting fee of ten [10] bronze coins per night, while, at the same time, maintaining peace and order in that area."
"I know!" Sabrina grumbled in response. At this moment, she noticed Weyron and the other players getting close to their location. So, she could only sigh in response and say, "Then, I'll go to my post! Your visitors are about to come!"
Pedro simply nodded in response and said, "Enjoy…"
Sabrina simply waved her hand in response as she left the registration area. And only after a few minutes, Weyron and the other players arrived. That said, before they could get into the registration area, they were welcomed by Pedro—who just came out with a black cloth covering his face.
"Welcome Adventurers! I am Aron Death! And it is my great honor to welcome you all to the Adventurer's Guild!" Pedro said in a hospitable tone. Then, he clapped his hands and said, "Now… Before all of you could be given a chance to register and join the Adventurer's Guild, allow me to inform you on some important matters that you need to know about the Adventurer's Guild!"
At this moment, Pedro pointed toward the different colored flags with different white symbols in them. Then, he said, "First… There are five major combat types in the Adventurer's Guild, namely… The Sword Masters—with a blue flag that has two swords as its symbol. The Sharp Shooters, or also called Archers—with a green flag that has an arrow as its symbol. The Great Magicians, or also called Mages or Sorcerers—with a yellow flag that has a book as its symbol. The Berserkers, or also called the brute fighters—with a red flag that has a fist as its symbol. And lastly, The Eccentrics, or also called Unique Combatants—with a gray flag that has a human eye as its symbol."
"In each combat type, we decided to establish a division to ensure proper development of our members! Of course… This includes a good foundation to be established at the start. So… We are giving you the chance to choose which division you want to join if ever you have decided to join the Adventurer's Guild!" Pedro said as he smirked behind the cloth covering his mouth. "That said… Please keep this in mind! Each division was only established to ensure the proper development of our members on specific combat types! Should you want to change or learn another combat type, you can do so by visiting the Adventurer's Guild's Office."
Then, Pedro gestured towards them with two fingers up, and said, "Second… There would be a membership fee to be collected that costs twenty bronze coins! I know that some of you might think that twenty bronze coins for a membership fee are too much…"
At this moment, some of the players could not help but murmur and nod in agreement to Pedro. That said, before someone could complain to Pedro, he took out a rectangular metal card and said, "That twenty bronze coins that we would collect is just a payment for the Identification Card that we would issue to the official members. It is made of metal and was not free after all! Well… The Adventurer's Guild Members do not need to worry about gaining coins! Once you are an official member of the Adventurer's Guild, you would be given tasks—appropriate to your skill, to earn more coins! So, rest assured that joining won't just be a waste of your budget!"
Pedro paused for a second to tense up the atmosphere a tad bit. This way, the players would feel a bit pressured to join the Adventurer's Guild. Then, he took out a letter and said, "Finally… Joining the Adventurer's Guild would definitely bring you a lot of benefits! And one of which is gaining a Recommendation Letter from me, that would serve as your entry ticket into the Tarala Kingdom!"
At this moment, the players become rowdy. They can't help but discuss among themselves the benefits that they would gain—especially the Recommendation Letter from Pedro. And after almost a minute, Pedro faked a cough to get the attention of the crowd, and said, "Ehem! If you have decided to join the Adventurer's Guild, please kindly fall in line in the registration area of the Combat Type Division of your own choice! If you have further questions… Don't hesitate to approach me! That's all!"
