The Extra's Return

Chapter 65 Adventurers Association



Adventurers Association.

They were the largest association that existed on the Averus Continent.

The Adventurer's Association was spread throughout the human kingdoms.

In every human kingdom, there must be an Adventurer's Association. However, the Adventurer's Association in one kingdom was different from the Adventurer's Association in another kingdom.

Each Adventurer's Association in another kingdom had a different leader.

Not only the leader, but the system implemented in the association must also be different, in terms of administration, regulatory policies, laws, and others.

In short, different kingdoms had different Associations. Although they all seem different, they share the name 'Adventurers Association'.

If this was Earth, a trademark battle over the use of the name 'Adventurer Association' would already be happened. It was a good thing that there weren't any such laws in this world.

In the Misonia Kingdom, the Adventurers Association's main headquarters was in the City of Heinsburg, while the branches were scattered in every city.

One of them was in the city of Burgenfield.

Even though it was not the main headquarters, the headquarters building in the City of Burgenfield was very large.

The size and architectural level of the building could make everyone's eyes stick when they looked at it.

That was why I had no trouble finding where the Adventurer Association building was located.

Their building had a big name sign above their entrance.

It said, [Burgenfield City Branch Adventurers' Association] above the large door. It was written using letters from the language of Averus.

I stood in front of the entrance.

Many people were going in and out of the building. Most of them all wore armor on their bodies. Some only wore chest protectors and weapons, while others wore full armor.

I wonder if they were overheated or not.

Just as I was about to step inside, someone suddenly approached me.

"Oh, who is this? Aren't you the person from earlier? Why did you come here?"

I looked around to make sure he was talking to me.

"Me?"

"Yes, I am talking to you. Ha ha ha."

Among the crowd of people, I didn't expect to hear the voice of the person who greeted me. He came from the side and greeted me like an old friend.

"Who are you?" I asked calmly.

"Ah, sorry if I startled you. Perhaps you didn't notice me, but I was the one who was behind you when you entered the city."

"Why are you approaching me?"

"I just wanted to say hello. Aren't we both new to the city?!"

He smiled brightly. His lips widened all the way to his cheeks. The intention to be intimate really radiates from him.

Apart from his intention to be intimate, I knew the reason he approached me.

Most likely, he had seen me when I showed my ID card to the soldier that had been guarding the city gate. So, it's likely that he approached me because he knew that I was the son of a nobleman.

And so he continues to make small talk, from introductions to other trivial matters.

"Do you want to apply to be an Adventurer?" He asked.

"Yes," I answered briefly.

The reason why I wanted to register and become an Adventurer?

If you ask me, the position of the Adventurers' Association in a kingdom would probably be the same as that of a national ministry. So, being an Adventurer would probably be the same as being an employee of a ministry.

Indeed there were some independent aspects that the Adventurer's Association had. Not all the affairs of the Adventurer's Association could be meddled in by the royal family.

Nevertheless, it was true that there were many aspects where the hands of the royal family influenced any policies or decisions of the Adventurer's Association.

And one of them was a policy that the Adventurer's Association was obliged to accept Nobles who wanted to enroll. In other words, nobles were obliged to become Adventurers, regardless of their strength.

Using the ID card, which I already had, I was able to register as an Adventurer without a hitch. That's one of the benefits of being a noble child, being able to get an ID card and become an Adventurer.

However, what had happened on the ground was different from what might have happened when you read the policy.

Unlike the normal adventurers, who registered to take quests, members of the noble families mostly only registered as a form of formality. They became Adventurers, not of their own free will.

Because after all, that was the policy of the Misonia Royal Family. They required the nobles to register as Adventurers. If they didn't comply, they would be punished.

Of course, I didn't mean to register just as a form of formality. I registered to be able to take one of the quests that were always there.

"By the way, I came because I finished the quest. Then let's go inside."

Without me asking, he told me.

Even so, I still followed him into the Adventurers Association headquarters building.

Seen from anywhere, he was an ordinary middle-aged man. Though according to what he said during the small talk, he was a B-rank adventurer.

To confirm it, I used Judgement skills.

[Skill Judgement - Active.]

[Name: Fidel.

Title: Warrior, Swordsman, Adventurer.

Stat:

(Strengths: B) (Speed: E) (Endurance: D) (Agility: E) (Mana Core: Low.)

Skills:

Sword Mastery, Body Cultivation.]

This was the first time I was looking at someone else's status window. How could I not be surprised?

'From now on, I won't be surprised anymore about what things the World System can do.'

I continued to look at Fidel's status.

Fidel's two skills are common skills for Warriors.

Indeed, most great cultivation techniques belonged to noble families.

Ordinary people could only obtain their own cultivation techniques. Whether from dungeons or training by themselves and creating their own techniques, those two choices were the only choices ordinary people had.

"Aren't you going inside?"

Fidel asked me who stopped halfway.

I quickly shifted my focus from his status window.

I walked straight into the grand building belonging to the Adventurers Association.

The building was made up of several floors, making it look like it was looking down on the humans below.

'Even their entrances look really great.'

Using the Hear of Everything Skill, I could tell that this building's protection was thousands of times more advanced than the Barrier in Baron Warwick's Mansion.

'What would happen if someone infiltrated inside?

I could only smile when I thought of that. All sorts of calculations swirled in my head, preparing all sorts of scenarios that could possibly happen.

In contrast to the busyness my head was, my two feet stepped into the building automatically.

After going inside, I found a scene where a crowd of people was jostling.

"Hey, is there an interesting quest?"

"You'll die quickly if you look for quests that are only interesting, sir."

"Damn, you can't compromise!"

Most of them were waiting in line to have the receptionist show them the quests they could receive according to their rank.

There were also those who were discussing with their comrades. There was even a special seat for them. What's more, they can also order drinks and food.

Was this a tavern?

"Alright. Mesties, I will go to report the completion of my quest. See you later," said Fidel.

I just nodded without responding too much.

This was rare to see someone who had a personality like his, being kind to people he just met.

But instead, I did increasingly distrust people who had such traits.

I was more worried about the people who were kind to me than those who were hostile to me.

As soon as I was left by Fidel alone, I started walking towards the adventurer registration section.

I barged through the people until I finally came close to a receptionist girl. But I had to stop because of a sudden interruption.

The person I had just broken through stopped me in the middle of the street.

In an instant, I was suddenly surrounded by disgusting middle-aged men.

"Oh, who is this? Why would a kid come here? Are you lost, kid?"

The one speaking was a human… or a pig? I could barely tell the difference.

"What do you want?" I replied.

"What? Did you just ask such an obvious thing? Didn't you dare to nudge me earlier? That means you're challenging me. There's no way I'm going to let you get away with that!"

The fat pig in front of me leaned its head right into my face.

Didn't he realize that his body, which was fat, and his face, which was disgusting, would be an eyesore?

He didn't seem to realize that he had excess fat on his face and body.

"Haaah~"

Even if I made fun of him, it would be useless.

More importantly, seeing as people were starting to gather around me, was this going to be a situation that was definitely predictable?

I could only let out a vapor of annoyance.

My current body age was indeed only 17 years old. When you see that all the people in this room are adults, it's obvious that I stand out.

From the moment I entered this place, I was already noticed by a few people, but they were only female Adventurers.

But now, I could feel the fiery gazes of many male Adventurers, as if they held a grudge against me.

Even though I had taken precautions to keep myself from standing out.

I had placed the Svangur Sword on my waist. The Svangur Sword was wrapped in a sword sheath that I made from Slime. I put the Svangur Sword on my waist so that people wouldn't underestimate me.

But the result was still this.

On earth, I've heard that most stories will have a scene where a new kid was bullied by a senior.

They call it a cliché scene.

Was what happened to me a clichéd scene that I had heard about in the past?
