3 Days Later
10AM

Tesla arrived at the gates of Florenci City after waiting in line for a short while he is stopped at the gate by a guard.

"Hey kid, I.D. please." The guard says.

"I.D.? I don't have one yet. I plan to register at an Adventurer's Guild."

"Fancy yourself an Adventurer huh? The guard says looking up at Tesla on his horse. You look too young to become an adventurer..."

"Well if you want to enter you must pay a fee. The Adventurer's Guild is located east from the center of the city. Good luck kid." The guard tells him.

"Thank you."

Tesla pays the fee and enters. Florenci City on of the big cities in Venicia Kingdom. It had many buildings as tall as 3 stories and streets wide enough for horses wagons. The streets were busy with the hustle and bustle of people. He makes his way to the center of the city as the guard had instructed then heads east. He stops to to ask for more directions to the Guild. He wanted to get there as fast as possible. Finally he arrives at the Guild he takes a breath and walks in along with Blackstar.

The Guild was full of people. There were even some Elves and Dwarves. Most of the humans looked young around 13-15 years old. Tesla could tell instantly he was the youngest one there.

Because of that he instantly drew attention. He saw and could feel more than a few eyes on him as walked up to the receptionist. A young looking girl with glasses and long blonde hair with green eyes. She was dressed in a vest skirt suit. She smiled as he approached.

"Hello my name is Livian here to register for the Guild?" She asks

"Yes"

"Then please fill out this registration form. When you're done there will a magic aptitude test to see if you qualify."

"Magic aptitude test?"

"Okay."

Telsa takes the form Livian gave him. It asked to give his Name, Hometown, Date of Birth, Age and Gender. Well for his age he had to lie. The age minimum required to join was 9 years old however the recommended was 15 and up. This is because at that age most adventurers have gotten used to using magic and weapons. The Guild doesn't want to be held responsible for sending kids to their deaths. But for Tesla to reach his goal he needed to become one as soon as possible.

Tesla returned to the receptionist and gives her the form.

"Thank you please place your hand on this. We will now measure your mana. It will determine your magic rank."

It was a what could only be described as a crystal ball.

Tesla places his palm on the ball and it starts to glow it wasn't bright or anything but it was dim.

Livian frowns. Some guy standing next him looks over and laughs. A lanky looking man if he had to describe him.

"Haha whats with that pathetic amount of magic kid?!"

Tesla ignores him. "Is there a problem?" He asks Livian.

"Your magic level is low. Therefore it'll be hard for you to join parties. It limits your already limited options as a beginner adventurer. If you were Beastman however it might be different story since their physical abilities make up for their lack of mana." Livian explained.

The lanky dude did not like to be ignored and suddenly grabbed Tesla and Blackstar starts growling. Tesla gives him the signal to stay.

"You little shit you think you can ignore me? You think you can become an adventurer with such a pathetic amount of mana?"
