Bell stood, looking into the black space under Fel's hood. The hood bobbed a little in a nod of greeting before Fels said, "Hello Rabbit, been having fun?" Bell just sweatdropped before saying, "No?" Fel's cocked their head to the side before replying with, "Then you didn't enjoy going into the dungeon yesterday and breaking guild policy?" Bell completely stopped at the mention of breaking guild policy before hesitantly replying with, "S-sorry..." In all truth, Bell had forgotten of the guild policy that banned non-registered adventurers from the guild. "If it makes you feel any better, no one saw my face?" Fels just looked at Bell from under the shadows of his large hood and replied, "No, people didn't see your face, but would you please tell me what they did see?"
Bell shrank back as he said, "Me in my Rabbit gear." Fels continued to look at Bell and continued with, "Yes, and now the Loki Familia has reported a famous killer wandering around the dungeon. You have only recently been pardoned by the guild and people still have the mindset of the rabbit is a merciless noble killer. The fear of you is fresh and many would stop going into the dungeon for fear of meeting their end at your hands. Though you're here now and you're becoming an adventurer, I would like it if you refrained from using your Rabbit gear." Bell smiled and replied with, "Yes sir, I'll find some other gear to use in the dungeon. Other than that I just need to be registered as a level 2 adventurer and I'm good to go."
Fels walked over to the mahogany desk and started to pour some tea before they looked back at Bell and replied, "Level 2, huh? That is scary, I thought you didn't have a status before coming here." Bell just gave a nervous laugh and replied, "I seem to have a skill that allowed my life experiences to be transformed into my Falna, so I had a headstart and I also have a skill that seems to make me grow much faster." Fels stopped pouring their tea before holding the white cup in their gloved hands and swirling it while commenting, "A skill like that exists? How impressive. I would usually grant this to the public but, for now, I would say it furthers our cause to have your strength a mystery and rapidly grow. We'll take precautions to hide your strength as best we can." Bell nodded, his small smile never leaving his face as Fels then continued, "It would seem we have had a long enough talk, I expect you to follow through with not wearing your equipment in the dungeon, Rabbit, but other than that, have a good day."
As Fels finished he slowly vanished into a purple cloud of mist. Bell watched him go before sighing and walking out of the wooden door and down the stairs. The adventurers in the guild looked at him as he descended, they were curious. Bell kept smiling before turning away to leave, so much for Fels wanting him to keep a low profile but then announcing to everyone the guild wants to see me. As Bell walked over tot he door he heard someone call out, "Wait!" Bell turned to see a woman with brown hair and pointed ears as well as glasses on her face. Bell cocked his head to the side as she reached him and held out a metal card, "Your adventurer card, Mr. Cranel. Also, my name is Eina and I will be your guild advisor and relayer." The elf woman whispered the last part so only Bell could hear, and he nodded to her. Bell smiled before saying, "Thanks! I'll be off then, Miss Eina." She nodded as Bell turned and left through the double doors before turning back and heading back to work.
Bell walked through the town before realizing he hadn't turned over those magic crystals he had, but then realized he would've probably been questioned for having those. Bell shrugged before deciding now was as good a time as ever to head to the dungeon. Bell arrived at Babel tower and got a few snickers from people as he walked through them and into the dungeon wearing nothing but his plain white shirt and long black pants. Bell walked through the great stone doors leading to the underground dungeon and maintained his pace as he walked forward, clearing the first floor with nothing more than his fists. Bell was surprised that he was able to take on goblins and kobolds with just his fists but realized that was probably a perk of being level two. Bell reached the fifth floor with little difficulty before drawing the knife labeled I from the hidden sheath strapped to his back under his shirt.
