3 Chapter 3 - Registering as an Adventurer

(Unedited)

=============================

~Nero POV~

After exploring the city a little more, I found and settled on a little but cosy inn near the edge of the centre of the city.

I ding the bell on the counter and silently wait for the inn keeper to arrive.

"Ah hello there young fella, what can I do ya for?" An older white haired gentleman says in greeting.

"Hi, I'm looking for a room for the next couple days?" I reply.

"Well your in luck we've got plenty of open rooms" the old man says jovially. "Would you like the breakfast and dinner deal 'swell"

"I do" I agree mostly due to the fact I've smelt the food coming from the kitchen and it smells amazing.

"It will set you back a total of 1,200 valis for the week?" The old man says/ asks.

"That's fine" I reply counting out the money for the innkeeper. "Here you go"

"Right, you room is 107" He says handing my the key. "The kitchen is always open so you can come in anytime as long as it's not too late"

"Got it" I say taking the key, getting into my room. I leave my bag in the room only keep my sword and dagger on me.

"I need to get some clothes" I mutter to myself.

~Scene Change~

Thanks to my exploration of the city a couple of hours ago, I knew the direction of the shopping district.

I get myself a couple of cheap shirts and pants, an extra bag for when I do into the dungeon. I grabbed myself an extra basic dagger just in case, and now I'm looking for a set of basic armour.

"Oh gearing up, I see" I hear and feel a familiar presence.

"Yeah, that dungeon is practically calling out my name" I comment idly looking around the armour shop.

"I see, you get much use out of that sword?" Ty questions coming beside me.

"I fought a couple of monsters on my way to Orario" I tell him.

"How did you fair?" Ty asks politely.

"Not a scratch on me" I say not bragging at all.

"Sounds like you know your way around a sword" Ty comments.

"Not like you do" I remark.

"Oh why do you say that?" Ty asks curiously.

"Your posture, clearly a fighter. Your hand is calloused and even has scars on it. Most importantly I just get the feel that your a fighter" I explain.

"Not bad kid" Ty comments. "Not bad at all"

"I try" I smirk at him, picking up a set of leather armour that caught my eye. It's tougher then the others, covers the most important parts and has a deep brownish red.

"I wouldn't go for that one" Ty says from beside me. "Hmm this one would suit you better"

Ty hands me a black colour set of leather armour, taking it, I can easily see this set will allow better movability and flexibility as it's less restrictive around the arms.

"This is good" I tell him around giving the armour the once over. "Thanks"

"Good luck" Ty says before leaving the shop.

'What an interesting Man' I think to myself.

~Scene Change~

After finishing up my shopping and putting everything in my room at the inn, I decided to make my way to Adventurers guild to finally register.

Entering the Guilds main room, I glance around the room looking at the different adventurers dotted around the room. Shrugging I queue up for the register.

Waiting in line, it's only a few minutes before I'm before the man in the booth.

"How can I help" he says in a full bored tone.

"I'd like to register as an adventurer" I tell him.

"*Sigh* fill out this form" The man says handing me a stack of paper. "I'm also obligated to tell you that without a Falna there's almost a 100% chance you'll die in the dungeon"

"Got it" I reply taking the forms.

I swiftly fill out the forms, it's just basic stuff like my name, age, do I belong to a Familia so on and so fort.

With the forms filled out I hand them back to the man in the booth. Who merely flicks through them.

"Now here's a list of potential Familia's looking to accept new adventurers, and here's the name of your Advisor" he drawls on handing me a couple sheets of paper. "Good luck kid"

"Hm" I grunt leaving with the sheets of papers.

Not really interested in the Familia sheet, I look a the paper that contains the info on my advisor, 'Aiden Thames' not bad name. It says he'll be in house tomorrow, I guess I'll just come back tomorrow.
