"A kid?"

"Who is this brat?"

"What's this kid doing here?" Many voices say as Alaric comes to the woman at the front, as she seemed... A bit amused seeing a child here.

"I wish to become an adventurer, please. Here's my resume." Alaric handed a paper to the woman as she awkwardly chuckled,

"And where are your parents, little one?" She wondered, as Alaric states,

"Back at Buena Village. Now can you look at my resume, I am kinda in a bit of a hurry." Alaric hoped as the woman sighed, looking over the paper... And was frankly surprised.

"Water Saint from Augusta's Dojo? Titled by Water God Reida Reia!?!" The woman's eyes widened as everyone fell silent. Reida Reia was here not too long ago!?! But how did they not see her...?

"Yeah... And if you look over here... I have experience with the X-Healing Spell and I have some blacksmithing experience. Pretty neat for a 10-year-old, huh?" Alaric wondered as he continued,

"Oh, and I have this cool Demon Eye in case you're wondering." He explained further, startling everyone as Alaric's left eye was covered like many other wielders. The woman seemed... Uncertain, but awkwardly states,

"J-Just a bit of blood... Please..." She asked as Alaric cut a bit of his finger, the blood was placed in a neat circle as it glowed, registering him as an F Ranked Adventurer. He comes out a bit more excited than ever,

"Sweet, got me a card! Now... How do I do jobs in secret...?" Alaric wondered as he didn't want to go out tired during his shifts in the afternoons... But then again... He is free in the mornings now...

"Hmph. It's settled then, mornings will be taking jobs and afternoons are working with Pilphar. I might be able to get him some nice quality materials to keep him quiet if he suspects me..." Alaric thinks as he smirks,

"It's settled! Dungeon quests it is!" Alaric walks to the quest board organized, he is...

"Wha? No way...!" Alaric is a bit annoyed, as it was simple flower-picking jobs, the more exciting ones being to collect rabbit hides...

"Hm..." Alaric growls, as he snatches the rabbit one.

"This should be easy. Collect 10 Rabbit Hides... This'll be easy!" Alaric states, and right he was, the skinned hides being nicely cleaned and piled, he places them on the counter as the woman from before is... Wow...

"You are a Water Saint, huh?" She is a bit surprised, as these rabbits usually are a problem for weaker adventurers...

"Alright, here's your 5 Copper Coin." The woman pays him, annoying the boy as he grabs another quest. It pays the same, and again, and again, and 10 quests later...

"Finally... The last... Quest." Alaric groans tired a bit from the excess running and errands, he places the 5 flowers on the desk, and the woman soon says,

"May I see your card?" She wondered as Alaric smiled, enthusiastically giving her his card.

"Heck yeah, E Rank here I come-"

"Hey, kid." Suddenly a man says to him, catching his attention,

"Seems you got some passion for adventuring, huh? You got from F to E Rank in just a few hours... Impressive." Says a man with a staff on his back, as Alaric smiles,

"Hehe, I was kinda trained by my master for some time..." Alaric states, as the man cuts to the case,

"Why don't you join us? We're D Rank Adventurers, and we can use someone like you on our team." He explained, as Alaric wondered,
