Chapter 111: Highmight Guild
Chapter 111: Highmight Guild
Highmight Guild, the guild association scattered in various cities throughout the Human Continent. Whereas the main guild was located in the Western Region’s capital.
At this time, Elysia, two devils, and a large white tiger walked towards the guild in the city’s inner circle.
‘Vanessa… Looks like we’re the center of attention. But it seems aimed at you. Wait, when we enter that alley, please turn into a cat, okay?’ Elysia felt uncomfortable being seen by people who were still outside for some reason, even though it was late at night.
She was also reluctant to wake Elena up for advice. The latter slept soundly in the Soul Realm. Right now, Elysia was the only one who had to take care of the rest. She was thinking of a way to keep in touch with these two unusual demons and then the academy.
‘Okay, master. But when I do my innate transformation, I want only you to see and not the others.’ Vanessa walked beside her master, and she didn’t mind that… It was easy.
‘Okay.’ Elysia agreed, and a decision was made.
“Lys, let’s go down the alley first before the guild. Vanessa is too eye-catching right now.” Elysia tugged at Sylvia’s sleeve slightly to inform.
“Ah, sure. Let’s go over there.” Even though she didn’t know what her friend would do to make Vanessa’s big body inconspicuous, Sylvia plainly nodded.
The two of them and Vanessa immediately entered the isolated alley. Dylan just followed from behind as if he was trying to remember something, but no one knew what he was thinking at that moment except himself.
“Please wait here a moment, alright? Vanessa will transform, but she doesn’t want anyone to see. We excuse ourselves for a moment.” Elysia excused herself and took some distance after receiving Sylvia’s confirmation. Then, she and her white tiger were immediately enveloped by an opaque wind barrier that also resisted magical surveillance.
‘It’s safe now.’
‘Alright, master. Please wait for a moment.’
The instant after, the white tiger’s enormous body immediately turned into a ragdoll cat. The tiger’s fierce face immediately became the cute face of a cat who seemed to ask to be hugged and showered with affection all the time.
‘Yes, perfect. The wings are hidden, and everything is okay. I’m a cat again.’ Vanessa gave a confirmation, everything was under control.
‘Charming, it’s faster than before, when you transformed into a cat a few days ago. Em, now let me carry you.’ Elysia grabbed Vanessa’s petite body gently and hugged her.
Vanessa had flown for three hours with two girls on her back. Although Dylan’s acceleration magic also supported them all and accelerated their flight speed in the air, Elysia thought Vanessa was feeling tired and needed to rest.
The wind barrier disappeared, and only a girl appeared with a cute cat in her arms, but where was the big white tiger?
“Ais, where’s Vanessa?” Sylvia asked to make sure.
“She is Vanessa. This is the transformation I was referring to.” Elysia petted the white cat in her arms. The cat purred softly.
“Aww~ Now she really is a cute pet. Great ability. Does every Spirit Beast or above have this kind of transformation ability?” Sylvia’s eyes sparkled with admiration, and then she joined to pet the white cat in her friend’s arms.
“Maybe, but not all types of beasts have that innate ability. Let’s go to the guild. The Highmight Guild’s building is visible from here. We’re close.” Elysia pointed at a tall building that probably had five floors.
The Highmight Guild’s building rose higher than the other buildings around it and was easy to find.
“Yes, yes, let’s go! We need to register as adventurers today! Em, can I carry Vanessa, pwease?” Sylvia made one more wish as they continued on their way.
“Well, Vanessa doesn’t mind you, Lys. Please treat her gently. She’s been flying for three hours. She must be tired.”
“Puss, puss… Sweet you, you must be tired. Ow, little sweetie, do you like this snack? Ah, you like it! That’s great. We have similar tastes in the snack!” Sylvia pampered Vanessa as if the cat had just gone through an exhausting struggle. The cat deserved a prize.
She forgot about her father, who followed from behind in silence. He did everything, but he didn’t get anything as if it was his duty and obligation.
Dylan smiled wryly for a moment, then put on a cold face again. Somehow, he felt truly like a protector and guard of his daughter.
After walking briskly with light step magic to reach the city center faster, they finally arrived at the guild building similar to a large museum. There was a large and magnificent signboard ‘Highmight Guild’.
It didn’t take long to observe the guild building. Elysia and the two devils immediately entered the guild, which was always open every day.
They entered through the main door. The guild’s interior was really like a museum but complete with a joint bar and restaurant in another part of the main lobby.
The arrival of the three of them got the attention of several people who were on duty at night and adventurers who were indeed active at night. But their focus was on the two beautiful young girls who seemed like princesses from an aristocratic family. They simply ignored the man who was standing right behind them.
“Wuu… So, the guild is like this. Like an office but combined with a bar and restaurant, interesting. We need to register at the reception. Okay, alright… Where is the receptionist… Yes, found it. Come on, Ais, we will register as new adventurers.” Sylvia muttered to herself, then pulled her friend’s arm to approach the large reception desk that was like a counter.
“What do you need, young girls?” A fierce man with brown skin and wearing an eye patch greeted them in a harsh voice.
“Hello, we want to register to become adventurers. Even though it is late, can we register and be verified at this time?” Sylvia asked with a smile.
“Newbie, huh? The guild is open every hour. Every day, of course, you can register now. Still, official registration and verification will be done tomorrow between nine in the morning and five in the evening. Fill in this form first, and you will easily complete your registration.” The man handed over the paper registration form, and Sylvia accepted it right away.
The paper form was not for registration as an adventurer but for registration of a new guild party. Registration and verification for new adventurers were only done during the day.
Sylvia had been studying about the life of an adventurer on the Human Continent since several years ago, and now she would make that knowledge useful. She also wanted to impress her new friend.
Unlike the Devil Continent, which only had mercenaries and an open military… In Human Continent, they implemented a legal guild system and put mercenaries as a criminal organization.
“Name, age, strength rank, origin, talent, and ability… Fill, fill, fill. Yes, we now have a party group! Ais, please fill in yours, and we are done. It will be finished tomorrow with official membership registration.”
Sylvia nimbly filled out the form with the pen at the counter and left the rest to her friend. She didn’t know what to fill in with Ais’ data. Sylvia only wrote for herself and her father.
Elysia took the paper and looked at the data written there. It felt a little funny because she knew their real personal data.
Sylvia wrote her age to be the same age as Elysia when the latter told the former. Sylvia omitted 540 years and only wrote 16 years. As for her father, she subtracted 800 years and wrote only 121 years.
Not to mention the Devil Saint’s power rank, which was reduced to Apprentice Mage and Devil Emperor to Spirit Mage. Even so, Elysia immediately wrote down her and Vanessa’s data, of course.
“Yes, I’m done. We just have to wait for daylight tomorrow.” Elysia returned the paper to Sylvia and let her take a look.
Sylvia seemed to feel like laughing but held back when she saw the data written by her friend. Ais had written her origin with the same village name as the others! And yet Vanessa was registered as an adventurer too!? Spirit Beast as an adventurer? It never happened before.
Even so, Sylvia immediately returned the paper form to the Guild Receptionist.
“Hmm… Pitmedden Village, huh? It’s quite far from here. No wonder you came quite late.” The man stroked his chin but froze when he saw the Spirit Beast enlisted as adventurers. Were they playing around?
However, he just left it like that. This was only their party form, and a Spirit Beast could count as a party member. It might be different tomorrow for registration and verification as an official adventurer.
“Alright, I’ve received your party’s registration form. You’d better go to the nearest inn because it’s late. It’s not good for young girls like you guys hanging around at night like this even though you two have a Spirit Mage as your bodyguard.” The man suggested as if he was a kind man.
Actually, he was quite worried about these two beautiful girls being glanced around by adventurers who were active at night. Hopefully, there wouldn’t be any problems during his working hours.
