"Very well

" I said in affirmation.

n

"T-Then, I'll bring the forms. Once you are done, please submit them here along with your fee

"

nNadia brought out 5 forms. Four are for Individual Registration, the last one is for Party Registration.

nWe each took our forms, and I took the Party Registration form. The contents are standard I suppose, none are outside my expectations.

nAfter reading through it, I filled the form with ease. I looked at the content and nodded in satisfaction. It looks good.

nI looked at him and from the look on my face, he knows I demand an explanation for what he has done or rather, what he hasn't.

n

"I... I can't read

" He muttered in an embarrassed tone.

nMy expression changed when I heard this. His words are true. After all, Shamac grew up all alone, away from normal civilization. Later on, he got captured and became a slave. He has received no formal education and as such, can't read.

n

"Very well, I understand

" I said to him.

nAs for the other two, Talia and Ana... Their forms are unusable. As they looked at me with expectant and proud faces thinking they have pleased me, I sighed. Foolish children.

n

"HEX #39, Causality Reversal

" I whispered.

nThe forms became blank once again.

nThey both made protesting looks, but one glare from my face was enough to caution them.

nI corrected the errors within them until It became consistent with what I expected.

nThis is satisfactory. I'll have to remember to teach Rio how to write.

nWe went back to the counter to submit our forms. The receptionist, Nadia read the forms and then faced us.

n

"This is perfect. But, I'm sorry... You'll have to give us an identification that you are truly affiliated with such a big organisation as Imperius.

" She stated.

n

"That's not a problem

" I said.

nI brought out my Imperius Coin Card as well as my newly obtained Grandmaster Card and showed her.

n

"T-This is...

" She said in surprise.

n

"I'd appreciate it if you keep all of this confidential... Especially this Grandmaster Card.

" I whispered to her.

n

"Of course sir. The Adventurer Guild is known for its confidentiality among clients and an Adventurer's personal information. Only the Guildmaster and the Receptionist know of such information, and we are bound not to reveal it, except under special circumstances

" She answered.

n

"Special?

" I asked.

n

"Well, in states of emergencies like natural disasters or monster invasion where such information is crucial, or a Royal order commanding the release of such information

" She replied.

n

"Ah, I see. Thank you then

"

nMy identity as Grandmaster of Imperius may attract the wrong kind of attention, which I'm not ready for now. But eventually... It will become very useful.

nAfter submitting our forms, I paid 40 gold with the Coin Card and Nadia directed us to the Examination room. From the looks of it, we'll be taking our exams separately.

n

"Don't disappoint me

" I told them, as we each went to our designated zones, secluded from the other.

nI entered mine, Room E-09. As I opened the door and got in, I felt another strange sensation within the room. It is similar to the one I noticed earlier, but slightly different. I tried not to show any reaction and behaved normally.

nI saw a man already waiting for me in the room and he beamed as he saw me. His smile widened as his eyes narrowed toward me. I can tell he has been anticipating this.

n

"Welcome to your Adventurer Test!

" He grinned widely.
