Chương 10: Chapter 10: Adventure Association

The adventure association branch located in Cloud Tower City was a magnificent dome-shaped building with more than 50 floors, from what he could tell. It was a pure white color, gleaming in gentle lights indistinguishable from moonlight. In the depths of the night, it was the most spectacular view of the entire city as it was lit up in a dazzling light easy on the eyes.

Directly in front of him was a large, thirty-meter-wide entrance that could perhaps fit two dozen groups of people at the same time. After walking through the curved entrance, Vincent looked around with curiosity as this was his time visiting such a glorious place.

Although it was late at night, he saw some adventures loitering in the building, and a few administrators of this adventure association's branch were also active.

There were many service Droids, but as it is late at night and the traffic was at the lowest point of the day, they were powered off. The droids eat up a lot of energy to run, after all. So, Vincent couldn't ask them for help and search for the registration office in this place that was more than hundreds of times larger than himself. 

"Hello, you seem to be lost. Maybe I can help you with something?" A man asked Vincent with a smile. His silky white hair and eyes covered with a blindfold with tiny ice's blue shards added a mysterious charm to his handsome otherworldly appearance, making heads turn for another glance. He was lean yet muscular, loosely wearing a black military jacket in contrast to his silver earrings and white shirt.

A look at the man's pointy ears, and Vincent understood that it is an elf from the world of Lorena. By crossing the world bridges through the spatial staircases, the demi-humans residing in the other planets could come to Earth. Some would come for work purposes, some just want to sightsee, and some are just seeking a better opportunity.

Vincent looked at the man as if he had seen his savior.

"Sir, this is my first time here, and I can't seem to find the registration office. I'll be very grateful if you show me the direction."

Except for Old Miller, he usually talked formally with others, and this habit showed its fang in this foreign environment.

"I don't like to be called that when I am off-duty, but you can call me Theodore. Would you like to follow me to the registration office instead?"

"That would be even better, Mister. Theodore."

"Follow me."

Vincent followed along as they walked towards the registration office.

"Here we are."

"Thank you for helping me out."

"No problem, I wasn't busy. Besides, I like to do good deeds. Now, how about I leave you up to your devices."

"Ah, yes, it was nice meeting you. Goodbye." Vincent said.

"May the spirit of adventure bless you. Good Luck!"

Theodore went away as Vincent reached the registration office.

Suddenly, Theodore stopped and turned to stare at Vincent's back with a gaze of deep interest. "The boy has a good body, but that's all. There's not a hint of supernatural cells in his body. That means he has no abilities. He isn't even from the Great Royal Truemight family, also. Then, why did my skill activate? Why was I attracted here? Hehe, we'll be seeing each other pretty soon. I have a feeling that that's when I will find out." Theodore's lips stretched back to expose a mysterious smile.

Meanwhile, Vincent looked around the registration office and thought himself to be lucky.

The reason being, no one was registering at this moment, and he immediately went up to the reception to get registered as an adventurer.

"And who might you be? What is your purpose for coming here so late at night, young man?" One of the receptionists, with a pretty face and shoulder-length smooth and wavy golden hair, spoke up in a pleasant tone while looking at Vincent with a friendly gaze.

A desk separated Vincent and the receptionist with a pretty face. Upon the desk, a few computerized holographic technologies were placed next to each other. There was also an orb with a mysterious feel to it.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Vincent, and I am here to register as an adventurer urgently," Vincent answered in a formal tone and with a pleasant smile on his face as he stood before the reception.

The lady was slightly surprised as to why a young boy has come to register as an adventurer. She thought, 'Maybe he is facing financial problems?'

"My name's Lorraine. But you can call me Lori." After she said those words, she put forward one of her hands. "Then, please provide me with your ID card."

"Uh, where did I put it… Got it! Miss Lori, here you go." Vincent pulled out his ID card from his deflated wallet and handed it over to her.

This just ascertained her doubts that he was poor and wanted to become an adventurer to earn money.

"This will take a second," Lorraine said as she powered on the device mainly used to register a person as an adventurer.

A holographic screen got projected in mid-air once she switched on the technology.

A moment later, she inserted his ID card in one of the three empty slots of one of the many ball-like machines. Immediately after, her eyes blinked in surprise as information about Vincent popped up on the holographic screen.

[Data found]

Name: Vincent Sangue

Status: Honorary Noble (Low-class)

Specialty: Unknown

Evolutionary stage: Unknown

Father: Aaron Sangue (Deceased)

Mother: Jennifer Sangue (Deceased)

[Caution: Treat this person with respect!]

She was surprised to found out that he was an honorary noble.

It was a title usually granted to war orphans whose parents have performed significant deeds of glory in the war before dying.

"Okay, then Vincent, please place your hand onto this orb. It'll determine the power level of your ability by scanning the amount of ability cell present in your body." Lorraine explained.

When ability cell multiplies to a certain amount, a person awakens an ability. The more ability cells a person possess, the higher the rank of his ability. The ability cells grow by consuming evolutionary materials. The typical evolution material a person can consume is beast's meat, magic herbs, and magic plants that suit their ability cells.

A person's ability is drastically enhanced each time there's a growth in their ability cells.

"Okay."

Following Lorraine's instructions, Vincent placed his hand on the crystal ball, and words began appearing inside the crystal ball.

[Ability: None]

Vincent knew that he didn't even have a hint of ability in his body. However, he was hopeful that the information presented by the blood evolution system was wrong. Still, concrete evidence was now right in front of his eyes, and he could no longer deny the inevitable truth.

Nevertheless, he hasn't lost any determination. There was another way to gain an ability, after all, and although it was riddled with deadly dangers, Vincent's had decided to walk this path of thorny roses.

Meanwhile, Lorraine's expression suddenly changed upon seeing the information in the crystal ball as she thought about it,

'Money must be the reason why this young boy in his teenage without an ability has come to register as an adventurer.'

"I don't have an ability. Will that be a problem?" Vincent asked Lorraine upon seeing her silence and troubled expression.

She replied: "Sadly, it will now be troublesome for you to acquire an adventure license."

"Can you tell me exactly how troublesome it will be?"

"First off, just like any other person, you will need to have adequate knowledge of one of the new world's professions and prove yourself as a specialist through a "compulsory" written exam. Then, since you don't have a supernatural ability, you will need to pass the adventure association's registration examinations the old-fashioned way. You'll need to prove that you're an F-rank combatant by battling an examiner. It's a choice that many ability users also take. Both the examinations are simple, however. Do you specialize in any new world's professions?" Loraine asked as she looked for any change in Vincent's expression.

According to her, since Vincent was but a young boy, there is a meager chance of him having learned any new world's professional. The time needed to understand the new world's profession is comparable to the old world's profession, after all.

Then again, she was worried that he'd leave the guild disappointed.

"I am an inscriptionist."

Vincent's answer was contrary to what she expected. Yet, she was pleased.

"Then we'll first check your knowledge. Then an instructor will test your combat prowess. Your combat prowess will be determined by the grade you receive in the tests. If you have any questions, then now's the time to ask," Lorraine said.

"I do have some questions."

Vincent and the receptionist talked as she provided answers to him.

Vincent came to find out that at first, the adventure association used to use energy gaugers to determine a person's combat prowess based on the units of magic power and battle energy. Still, it was soon discovered that anyone could fake his results by injecting a tremendous amount of magic power or battle energy in their body just a few minutes before the energy gauging registration test.

Typically, a person's heart will be able to retain a certain amount of magic power naturally. This amount can increase through awakening as new organs that can contain energy are produced. Similarly, a person will train his vessel to produce and contain battle energy. That's what Vincent did. However, due to the bad guys, who cheated in the past, he's the one suffering right now.

He just wanted to be done with the test as fast as he can, but now he'll have to fight for the adventure's license.

Oh, yes, without an adventure association how boring and unlawful the world would be... can you even think about people running around rampant. I definitely can not. So here's the first pillar of my world.

Support with power some if you like this novel.

Chương 11: Chapter 11: Specialization test

"Is there anything else you want to ask about?" Lorraine asked.

"Thanks, that was all. But I will trouble you to direct me to the examination center as this is my first time here, and I don't know my way around this place," Vincent said as Lorraine nodded.

Lorraine looked at Vincent with a smile. "No worries. Just follow me, and I'll bring you to the exam center."

"Okay,"

"Hilary, cover for me for a while," Lorraine said to her colleague.

"Alright but don't forget to treat me, later," Hillary replied.

Vincent followed along as they walked towards the elevator. They arrived on the 6th floor after taking the elevator. Then, as they arrived at the specialist's examination room, Vincent saw a row of tables and chairs. Except for them, only a middle-aged man with a scholarly look could be seen lazily sitting in a chair in this room, and he didn't even turn to look in their direction as if he didn't notice them entering the room.

"Hello, Old Jack!" Lorraine exclaimed.

The middle-aged man was shaken up from his dreamy state, and he lazily glanced in their direction, and said, "What brings you here, so late at night?"

Jack is the supervisor for the first test. He likes to work night shifts as there's a lot of time to slack off. Night's the time when only a low amount of individuals visit the adventure association.

"This boy here wants to take the examination. I'll leave him in your care. If he passes then take him to the combat examination center." She said before smiling towards Vincent. "I'll be in the registration office. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to bother me."

Vincent nodded. Then, Lorraine stepped out of the room and took the elevator to return to the first floor, and she then returned to her workspace.

Meanwhile, Jack carefully sized up Vincent and after a while, he asked, "What do you specialize in?"

"I wish to participate in the inscription specialization exam," Vincent replied.

Jack felt that this youth in front of him must be joking. To specialize in inscriptions, one would need to memorize over 30 books. It was already hard to purchase such books and even harder to memorize those books, but a person also needs to be able to inscribe them to pass the exam.

How could a person so young, be able to memorize and inscribe inscriptions?

Old Jack gazes at Vincent incredulously. "Are you sure? The exam set by the adventures association isn't easy to pass. First, I would ask you questions. The questions can only be answered by a participant who truly understands all the contents of the inscription. Then, you need to draw different kinds of inscriptions within a certain time limit. Otherwise, you will fail and won't be able to try this registration exam for six months," he said seriously.

If Vincent fails to pass the adventure association registration examination, then he won't be able to take the same test for six months. However, he was confident in his ability and knowledge.

"Yes, sir, I am sure." Vincent nodded seriously. "As long as all these questions are about inscriptions, I can easily provide an answer."

"Since you are confident, it must mean that you are have prepared for this. Just take a seat anywhere, and we'll begin the exam," Jack said.

"Do I need to take off my backpack?"

"Nah, there is no need. My eyes will be focused on you the entire time, so you better no cheat. Otherwise, you'll be automatically disqualified."

"I understand," Vincent said as he walked to the nearest chair and sat on it.

"I will ask five questions. If you can provide three correct answers then we'll move to the next stage." Jack said, "What is an inscription and how is it created?"

"Inscription is a type of expendable weapon created by using a beast's heart blood and its energy core," Vincent answered. He continued by providing the answer to the second question: "First, a beast's heart blood is used to inscribe inscription patterns. Then, a suitable energy core is integrating into the inscription to complete it. For example, energy cores related to flame and heat are compatible with fire inscription."

"All right! Question two. Name two types of things that can be created by using inscriptions? Also, briefly explain the method of their creation.

"They are beast's equipment and talisman. A weapon or armor gains a special effect once an inscription is successfully inscribed on them. Similarly, if a person draws an inscription on a piece of paper made out of energy conducting wood, he can create a talisman."

"What affects the quality of an inscription?"

"An inscription is made up of many inscription patterns. If the patterns aren't inscribed correctly, the quality of the inscription decreases."

"Define three different grades of inscription."

"No.1: Enchantment-Grade Inscription: Inscribed on armor or weapons to give them special effects. The special effects last until the inscription is damaged. The help of an inscriptionist is necessary to repair inscription patterns.

«No.2: Magic-Grade Inscription: Created by Inscribing a magic technique in the scroll. It can be quickly activated during battle to hurl a fireball at the opponent or create a shield to defend from the opponent's attack.

«No.3: Auxiliary-Grade Inscription: Inscription created to be used for auxiliary purposes such as instant clean, communication, voice recording, and image recording, etc are defined as Auxiliary-Grade Inscription›

After hearing Vincent's explanation, Old Jack beamed a smile. His words were clear and concise and easily understandable. That just proves his perfect knowledge of the subject of inscription.

"Good! Good! Let me ask you these two hard question 'when inscriptions were first introduced, there were classified into five grades each vastly different than the others. However, later on, one grade was banned. Which one is it? Why did the Earth Federation ban the practice and creation of this type of inscriptions?'" Old Jack was impressed with Vincent, and he asked a difficult and a disgusting questions in excitement.

Vincent considered for a moment and replied, "It was the Cursive-Grade inscription. Cursive-grade inscriptions create Cursive-grade weapons and talismans. They were considered the strongest type, also. However, the materials were only obtainable through the dead bodies of tortured humans and demi-humans. That's why there were banned."

Old Jack nodded his head in improvement. He had started to view Vincent in another light. It wasn't a daily occurrence to meet a talented and knowledgeable youth in the middle of the night.

Old Jack questioned him several dozen more times, but each time Vincent provided him with an accurate answer. Jack's eyes opened wide like saucers with his jaws threatening to touch the ground and his eyes threatening to pop out of their sockets as he was shocked to know that Vincent, a young boy is more knowledgeable than a professional inscriptionist.

"You have passed the first part of this test with full marks. Now, you just need to draw one correct inscription out of three to pass the second part. It has a time limit of thirty minutes." Old Jack said before he walked up to him, and passed a question sheet.

Vincent took it and read the questions. He needed to draw the inscription patterns of three distinct grades to pass with full marks.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of Old Jack, Vincent took the ink brush that was on top of the table and dipped it in the black inkpot. The moment it was stained with sufficient ink, he pulled it out and started to fill the answer sheet with answers.

The time limit of the test was thirty minutes, but Vincent completed the test in around 17 minutes. He purposely draws the shortest and easiest inscriptions of different grades as he wanted to be done with this test as soon and as fast as he can.

"I'm done," Vincent said as he handed over the answer sheet to Old Jack.

From the movement of Vincent's hands, Old Jack had already determined that he had passed as he was looking only at his hand movements throughout the span of 17 minutes. However, he still stared at the inscriptions drawn by Vincent, one by one, before he exposed a smile.

"Boy, you could become an expert painter with a little bit of training." Old Jack congratulated Vincent, "Congratulations! All the answers are right. You have passed this test with full marks."

Vincent smiled. It wouldn't be a lie to say that he was feeling a little bit prideful and happy. The years of hard work have finally paid off. He has been studying inscriptions ever since he was four years old, and then he thanked Old Miller from the bottom of his heart, as he truly taught the essence of inscription to him.
