122. First Adventurer Quest

The next day, the group walk into the adventurer's building. People stare at them and whisper to each other. Nytri isn't bothered to care, she looks around the building with a smile. "Finally going to be and adventurer!" Nytri speaks with excitement.

They arrive before the counter and Nytri looks at the quest board in excitement. Kael speaks to the receptionist, "Greetings." He gives his best smile but somehow looks ferocious.

"Greetings?" The receptionist looks up with a questioning look, she sees the beast staring down at her and flinches. She notices it's a person and calms, "Morning. How may I help you?"

Kael looks over his shoulders at his people, "I'd like to register them as adventurers. Can we take a test?"

The receptionist shakes her head, "That won't be necessary. The guild master made a law to allow all dungeon dwellers to become adventurers without a test." She gets some documents ready, "May I have their names?"

Kael gives them their names and Nytri walks up to the counter looking at the document with smiles. The receptionist can't help but smile, "And what's your name little one?"

"Nytri." Nytri replies in excitement. The receptionist freezes for a moment but pretends nothing has happened.

"My name is Liara." The receptionist speaks, "This is your party right? Make sure to work hard okay?"

Nytri giggles, "Okay." The receptionist speaks to Kael for a moment and leaves to get their adventurers ID it's a wristband with metal strips on it signifying their ranks. She came back with gold ranks for the group and they left after picking a quest.

The receptionist goes to the guild master's office and knocks on the door. *Knock Knock Knock* "Come in." the guild master replies. Liara enters to see the guild master, his limb right arm is being healed by a multicolored wand artefact. He looks up at Liara, "Ahh, Liara. What brings you here?"

Liara walks up to him and puts the documents on his table, "A little girl just registered with the dungeon dwellers."

The guild master looks through the document, "So, what's wrong?"

Liara points at Nytri's name, "Isn't this the name of the child that died in a fire 7 years ago? From lord Harrington's mansion."

The guild master ponders on it, "They do have the same name but it could be different people. The one that died in the fire is not known, we couldn't get a description then. Besides, Harrington covered it up. Whatever be the case, just let them be."

"Alright." Liara nods, she turns to leave and the guild master speak, "Oh, about that thing, ha-" Liara speaks, "No, I'm not going on a date with your son." She leaves the offices

Nytri and her party leave the city to complete the quest to gather herbs, the party looks more like bodyguards for Nytri than a party. They walk for half a minute before reaching the field with the herbs. There are surrounded by trees with the herbs in the center, Nytri hears voices in the trees and flinches.

"Bandits!" She gasps in fear, the Azurians look at Nytri but get to gathering. Nytri appraises a bandit, "Wait what?..." Nytri observes all of them, "THEY'RE SO WEAK A COULD BLOW THEN AWAY JUST FROM BREATHING!"

The bandits walk out from the trees laughing maniacally, they number about 40. "Well looky what we have here?" The one looking like leader speaks with a wimpy tone, "A little noble girl and her guards!" he sneers, "Why don't you hand her over quietly and no one has to get hurt. We can split a reward with you. Seeing how a little girl is making you pick flowers, you don't enjoy it. So, what do you say?"

"I'm staying out of this." Kael says and vanishes with the Azurian. The bandits are shocked, Nytri walks to the bandits but to them, Nytri just vanished and appeared before them.

Nytri stands before the leader, he is shocked at how she just appeared before him. Nytri lifts her foot and swings it between his legs. *BANG Egg cracking* the bandit leader bends over in pain, "OHHHHH!!!"

Nytri grabs his head and brings his face closer to hers, "Take a good look, this'll be the last face you'll ever see." Fear courses through the bandit leader and Nytri brings her hands together smashing his head like a watermelon.

The bandits scream *ARRGGHHH!!* they start to scatter and Nytri looks at the corpse before her. Nytri eye with the clock symbol glows and the bandits start running backwards, they stop at the place they were before running. There are visibly terrified and they watch Nytri

Nytri closes her eyes speaking, "I have no need for you so you can just die." The bandits vanish silently leaving only their clothes behind, that also vanishes next. The Azurians appear and they continue gathering herbs as if nothing happened.

They bring the herbs to the city by nightfall and submit it to the guild. They leave the city and make camp outside, they stare at the stars in the sky.

Nytri looks at them, "Kids, this is actually fun."

Kael is lying down, "Really? I don't see the fun in it."

Kaida is over the fire roasting a rabbit, "Yeah, I kinda expected to fight powerful monsters but this is like your kid's school."

Nytri shakes her head, "Normal kids don't go around fighting trolls. Besides, I'm getting to live my dream of being an adventurer, despite being so underwhelming."

Rhydderch has a frown, "Our rank is too low so only lame quests. Can't we just kill a dragon or something to raise our ranks?"

"No," Nytri speaks, "I'd feel bad for the dragon. It did nothing wrong so we can't just kill it. Let's take this one step at a time, since there's no threat there aren't any fun quests."

Lilia looks at the flames, "If we don't find any good quests, can I summon a monster to wreak havoc?"

Eryndor holds Lilia's shoulder, "Lilia dear, violence isn't the answer."

Kael chuckles, "You said the opposite during lunch time back with grandma."

Eryndor shivers, "It was a fight for survival! Once grandma brought you to the diner table, you need a miracle to leave there alive." They all get gloomy.

"I saw my life flash before my eyes a lot," Kael speaks, "To think food is our greatest fear."

Sylwia hugs her knees, "It's not food, grandma wanted us to eat mountains of food when it's time to eat. Mum lost consciousness a lot and we had to use recovery magic on her."

"Yeah," Nytri speaks, "Diner time was the worst, mum would always catch us no matter how hard we tried. But I actually miss her."

Kael smiles, "Oh yeah, free food. No one hates that."

Nytri grins raising a brow, "No wonder the Xenos are better at gathering."

Eryndor squints her mouth, "Beginners luck." The rest support with, "Yeah!"

Lilia waves her hand, "They all started at a fixed level to Nytri so they had the advantage. We had to double our efforts to surpass their level."

"Hmmm?," Nytri speaks, "No wonder most of you surpassed my level." Her eyes glows cutely, "I didn't know my little babies were competitive." Nytri makes clones and hugs them all.

Rhydderch tilts his head, "This is quite nice from time to time." Nytri giggles and rubs his hair, she does the same for all of them.

Sylwia jolts, "Now that I think about, Nytri did a great job raising us. I mean we're over a hundred an all."

Nytri's clones vanish and she sits back down, "Well, it wasn't easy. I had to be at 20 places at once. But I enjoyed those times, Lilia use to wet the bed quite often."

They laugh and Lilia protests, "Mum! It was ink!" Her hair rises and moves like tentacles and she blushes hard.

Kaida pats Lilia on her back, "Don't worry about it, mum's just making fun."

Nytri nods, "Yeah, Lilia was born a kraken. And with big brother playing hunt on the surface, the earthquake would scare anyone."

"Oh yeah," Kael speaks, "Why was grandma always upset about uncle sleeping in the sea?

"Hmmm, about that," Nytri speaks, "Ryu would use his lunch to pay the fishes to massage him. He'd stick his tongue out and roll his eyes back, kinda creepy actually."

Rhydderch tilts his head, "So why was grandma upset about that."

Nytri giggles, "Mum thought Ryu was setting a bad example for me."

Sylwia looks at Nytri with worry, "Uhh, you didn't try that, did you?" They all look at Nytri.

"NO WAY!" Nytri speaks, "Those fishes would flatten me in an instant. They were like half of Ryu, but I did try their electric therapy."

Kael mumbles, "No wonder your lightening resistance is abnormal."

"Awww," Nytri teases, "Is someone upset their strongest lightening was useless on me?"

Kael blushes and rolls over, "GOOD NIGHT!" they burst out laughing.

Nytri gets up and starts tucking them in, "Alright kids, time to sleep." They wish her good night and fall asleep. Nytri looks over them warmly, "Sweet dreams." Nytri lies down then she notices movement. The Azurians crawl to her and sleep beside her, she chuckles and closes her eyes.
