Vivian and Pana stepped outside the gate of Stonia's house.

Pana held her head down and wore a dejected expression on her face.

"Pana..." said Vivian.

Pana turned around and looked at her.

"Sorry about what happened. I tried to showcase my talents but it seems I wasn't enough," said Vivian.

Given that Pana was a receptionist in the Adventurer's Guild for assisting Adventurers with quests and Vivian was not only an Adventurer but also didn't know how to read or write, she decided to comfort her.

Had she been a complete stranger, she wouldn't even bother to comfort her, let alone talk to her.

Pana forced a smile and waved her hands.

"Please, you don't have to apologize or anything."

"But hey, maybe one day once I'm stronger I can work at her club as a bouncer and I'll try to put on a good word for you."

Hearing that, Pana's face brightened a little bit.

"Thank you. And sorry as well," Pana said and bowed. "I know that I've been acting shameless back there. It's just that, the reason why I acted the way I did was because I wanted to use her connections to have my son be mentored by a prestigious Scholar. He's still 4 years old but he will start his lessons at 6 years old."

Mentored by a prestigious Scholar...?

So there's something like a school here...?

As far as Vivian can remember, she has never seen school uniforms.

I wonder if there are like magic schools like the ones depicted in mangas and animes...

"I see. So I guess I have 2 years then?" said Vivian.

"You don't have to. I'll find another way," Pana said and smiled as she waved her hands.

"Okay, but I'll still try if I have a chance," Vivian said and smiled. "Anyhow, I'm sorry, but I have to go. I have an item that I had repaired yesterday and I have to get it."

"No problem. I too have to go back to the guild or my coworkers will get angry. Thank you and sorry for bothering you," Pana said and then bowed.

"Thank you too," Vivian said and then left.

When Vivian reached another street, she took out the coin pouch that Madam Stonia gave her from her satchel and opened it.

Her eyes widened and she let out a gasp.

10 GOLD COINS...!!!

She closed the coin pouch and looked around.

There were people around and she noticed a few people, especially men, threw a glance at her.

However, no one seems to be looking at her in a funny or suspicious way.

She returned the coin pouch to her satchel and went to the side to stop and think.

She took out the coin pouch once again and slid it inside her leather

armor and between her breasts.

At the moment, she had 2 coin pouches between her breasts but she didn't care. As long as she could secure it, that was the only thing that mattered to her.

Holy shit...!

I was expecting it to be silver coins, not gold coins...

Okay, what am I going to do with it...?
