The weather is great and there is a road so the journey is easy.

[I was mentally prepared for the long walk but... it really is far. It was really scary when I spotted a monster in the distance just now. I really wish they would stop sending people into another world empty handed. The only salvation I have is this rock I picked up that seems easy to throw.
Haa~ could I really survive in this world? Ahh~ this is terrifying.]

I continued to walk all alone to keep my feelings in check.
I couldn't bring out my courage without the cheat abilities of a light novel's main character.
Even if the standard goblin monster attacks me, I have a feeling I will lose.

Currently, the only thought in my mind was to survive.
Only that single thought.

While checking my surroundings, I reached approximately 300 meters from the city and finally felt relieved as I spot human figures. I brisk walk towards the door-like location.

"What a splendid outer wall. If the exterior is so splendid then the interior should be quite respectable as well."

While commenting aloud, rocky outer walls unseen in my previous life comes into view as I approach the city gates.

Identification is needed to enter the city. I pray to god that I can somehow enter while waiting in line.

"Show me your identification papers."
Said the gate soldier holding a spear.
He is slightly shorter than me but the thickness of his arms are at least three times larger compared to mine.
I would go down with just one punch from that log-sized arm.

I spun my words while holding that impression of the guard.
"I come from a small village. I was immediately sent out of my village after I became an adult so I don't have any identification papers. I came to this city intending to work under the Healer's Academy."
I told the gate guard while adding in some acting.
"Huh? The Healer's Academy? Please wait a while"

Eh? That did it? I intended to take advantage of the knowledge I obtained but did I just unnecessarily dig a grave for myself?
I felt anxious. Should I run? No. It will be checkmate if I run.

As I was deep in thought, the earlier guard returned together with a woman.

"Are you the applicant who wish to join the Healer's Academy?"

"Yes. I have aptitude for Holy magic and my profession is Healer so I came to the city with the intent to practice."

"Okay. Then firstly please follow me to obtain your Healer Guild's identification papers."
With only that said the woman starts walking away.

I thank the gate guard while thinking justwho is that woman? I frantically chased after the woman walking rapidly away to try asking her a question.

"Um, is there no toll for entering the city?"

She replied while smiling.
"Only the Empire requires Healers to pay a toll."

She continued on that there are other reasons but mainly due to the Healer's Headquarters situated in this country, just by being a Healer you will be treated better.
In addition, you can be jailed if you lie about having aptitude for Holy magic so it seems like nobody makes false declarations regarding that.

Right after reincarnating in this country, my 「Great luck」immediately worked in my favor. Does this exhibit the merit of having 「Great luck」? I grin to myself as I frantically chased after the woman.

As we walk on a beautiful cobblestone road, I had a feeling that I wanted to walk on similar streets in my previous life. But I couldn't make the woman guiding me wait so I put away my nostalgia and increased my pace.
