Chapter 60: Ch-60 Edge Lord
It was true that she was excited about their guild having received not just one but two new talented adventurers.
After all, more talented and strong adventurers just means that they could get through missions at a faster rate.
The truth is, pretty much all adventurer guilds are flooded with commissions 24/7 due to their popularity and lack of real competition.
While it\'s great that they have monopolies, it also leads to both the staff and adventurers needing to overwork.
So with a big smile on her face, she made her way towards her reception area to first complete Jasmine\'s registration before she started the newcomers.
After all, she wasn\'t rude enough to neglect the first talent that came just because of a new talent.
"Sir, please wait a moment. Let us complete the registration of the young lady who came before you first."
"Jasmine, please follow me."
William agreed, seeing no point in arguing, while Jasmine followed Bella to get her licence.
Jasmine was honestly really curious about the newcomer, but she was able to keep her curiosity at bay as she figured it would be awkward to try and talk to him right now, and getting her licence was also more important.
As both Bella and Jasmine made their way to the reception area, Bella took out an orb from one of the drawers.
As she grabbed the orb, she placed it on a white rectangular artefact that was on her desk.
This was an artifact that was exclusive to the Adventurers Guild and allowed them to create exclusive and unique registration cards for their members, allowing them to recognise each other.
"Mrs. Jasmine, please place your hand on this orb," Bella said.
Heeding her words, Jasmine followed her instructions as she placed her hand on the orb.
Once her hand was on the orb, she felt an abysmal amount of her mana being absorbed into the orb.
Before it stopped and the lid of the rectangular arti,fact opened, inside was a silver-coloured rectangular card with a picture of Jasmine, her name, her adventurers alias, as well as a giant B at the upper corner of the card, and at the bottom of the card was a big number 0.
"Congratulations on becoming a B-rank adventurer, Mrs. Jasmine," Bella announced with a smile.
Hearing her words, the whole guild hall erupted into claps and cheers, with everyone congratulating the newly registered B rank.
"Thanks everyone!" Jasmine smiled as she grabbed her licence.
She had finally done it; all her sleepless nights of hard work had finally paid off.
But no, she can\'t celebrate just yet. After all, this was just the start. Now she needed to actually complete missions and amass the funds she required for her mother\'s treatment.
"Congratulations on officially becoming an adventurer."
She heard a voice behind her, and as she turned around, her gaze once again met that of the masked individual.
Almost without thinking, she blurted out.
"Thanks"
She wasn\'t sure why, but for some reason she had a weird feeling about this guy, but she wasn\'t sure what it was.
"With that taken off, let\'s now proceed to the registration of the young man who has joined us here today," Bella said once again, moving her attention to the masked fellow.
She was honestly very excited about this, as she wanted to see what true talent looks like.
"Sure, let\'s do this," William replied.
"So, sir, what\'s your name, and what would you like your alias to be?" She asked once again, repeating the same question she had asked Jasmine before.
This was it. William had thought for a surprisingly long time about the name of his second identity, and in the end, he had decided.
"My name is John Sinners, and as for my alias, just call me Edge Lord," William replied.
\'God, this is so cringeworthy,\' William thought to himself.
But this was actually an experiment of sorts.
The languages of his old world, called Blue Planet and Astressa, were different.
The only reason he was able to communicate with people in this world was because he had grown up in it.
But even after his countless hours of studying, he never found a word similar to \'Edge Lord\'.
It was quite frankly an iconic word in his old world that pretty much everyone knows the meaning of.
And why is that relevant?
Ever since he had reincarnated, he just couldn\'t get rid of the feeling that somewhere out there another person from his old world had reincarnated.
So with a name like Edge Lord, he hoped that in case he ever came across someone from his old world, he\'d get a reaction out of them due to his name and thus be able to recognise them.
And as for everyone else, they would just react like this.
"Edge Lord, huh? What a fierce name, but I guess it suits you " Bella commented.
It seems his theory was correct, which was a good thing, or else it would have been embarrassing.
"Alright, all done now. Please follow me downstairs so we can help measure you," she said.
"Sure"
With that, William followed Bella downstairs for his test, and unlike the time with Jasmine, where only a few adventurers followed, this time pretty much everyone followed inside as everyone was curious about the strength of the masked man.
Sadly, the basement was not big enough for everyone, so they had to restrict it to only one-third of the population inside the establishment.
Which also happened to include the bespectacled man from earlier and Jasmine.
And as for everyone who didn\'t make the cut, they could only sigh in disappointment as they cursed their own bad luck.
Unbeknownst to them in the future, they would only curse their bad luck from today even more, causing them to miss all the sights the masked man was about to show everyone underground.
