chapter 8

When we entered the town, it felt more like a city to me since it was so much larger than the one I stayed in before.I seems like everyone was running around looking for something. I later found out that market day is pretty much everyday since the stalls are open every morning. People were constantly bartering and yelling to others so they could sell their wares.

As we walked along, I kept on getting distracted and going over to food stalls to buy something. Alice got mad at me and I ended up having to hold her hand like a little kid. That wasn't very fun for me. Anyway we made our way through the town, asked where the guild hall was and went there.

As we were walking along a group of sophisticated women walked by and were making fun of us. One of the women said, "Will you look at that. A young lady who went sleeping around and now is stuck with a little kid. Serves her right. If only she was a little bit smarter. Ohohohoho!" the other ladies laughed with her. Then out of anger I shouted, "Alice! Did you see those women who don't look like they could land a man without paying them? I feel sorry that they have to waste money like that just for a bit of fun."

The women instantly turned around and started insulting us. " How dare a mere peasant insult us high ranking women?! You should be ashamed of yourself!" they kept on shouting. Alice looked like she was going to fight them so i simply turned around and said, " Would you like to say that again, bitch?" As I said that, I conjured up a large flame in my hand and looked at the ladies threateningly.

Hahahahahahahahaha! That shut them up! They quickly scurried off and continued to curse us even when they were running away. So pathetic. 

Alice and I continued on without another interruption and soon arrived at the guild hall. When we went inside, it was filled with an assortment of people. There were ogres, elves,dwarves, beastmen, harpies, dragonkin, humans, and even a lamia was there! They all turned towards us and took one look at us two and immediately went "AWWW!". They thought i was a kid didn't they?! I know I have a little kid's face but that doesn't mean that I am one! I'll have you know that I'm actually 5 feet and 4 inches!

Then one of the people who seemed like a worker here greeted us, "I'm sorry about that, it's just that we have never seen someone so skinny and sickly looking ever having that kind of face. Also you seem to be carrying too much stuff than you should be able to." she said apologetically. Yeah, now that you thingk about it, I do look pretty stupid. Haha oops. " It's alright. You see my friend here and I am looking to apply to become an adventurer. Could you tell us how we are able to do that?"

"Oh sure! But i don't think someone your age will be able to apply for registration" She responded after looking at my identification. "You know since you are only 14 years old. For proper registration you need to be at least 15 years old ."

"Why don't I just have Alice register and I become an equal without registration."

"Well that could work but for the quests you would want to take require at least 2 people."

"What if I pay an extra fee for registration? Besides it's not like there is anyone waiting for me."

"I suppose that is something you could do. As long as you are able to pay the correct amount for the registration and limitations fee then you are all set."

Great! Now all I have to do is pay up and then I can go on fun adventures. It doesn't even matter if I die because I can just possess something else. AfterAlice paid for her registration I paid a total of 40 silver. It's a complete ripoff you know! Alice only had to pay 20 silver. Now I only have 12 silver and 44 copper! Ugh! Well I ended up paying it in full which surprised the receptionist dude. He probably had no idea that a kid would have that much money.

We finally got our adventuring license. Alice had a professional license and I got a trainee license since i'm still young. The only thing that I can't do is take any human bounties until I'm 15 years old. Thats ok with me though since i don't really care for humans that much. Though they do annoy me.

Alice and I then walked over to the quest board and began to look at what we should get. It didn't take long until we started arguing about what quest we should take. She wanted to just hunt some simple velvet monkeys, but I wanted to take on the wust where we need to hunt some heated wolves and take their pelts.

In the end Alice won the fight saying that if it weren't for her I wouldn't even be here. So we decided to take on the velvet monkeys in the forest of adventure. I quickly sold the rest of the armor and weapons ,except for a nice dagger, that I stole from those bandits to the guild and obtained about 30 more silver. 

We then collected all of our stuff and went to the forest of adventure to complete our quest. Now I know what you're thinking. Oh this is going to be easy since Liz is a grand soul. I'll have you know that i'm still not used to this body yet and i don't even know what spells to cast. So wish me luck!

P.S. I think I'm out of luck.
