Chapter 300 A Mysterious Voice
-----
The Guild Master was someone that looked way past his forties, if not fifties… But he was somehow still in perfect condition and was buff! He looked so muscular I was surprised. However, his face was still covered in wrinkles and he had a long white beard made into braids similar to those of dwarf men I saw in the adventurer guild. His sharp golden eyes looked at our party as he analyzed all of us in silence.
"Welcome to the Adventurer Guild… I am the Guild Master, Bostranof Vargaza. I am an half-dwarf if you're wondering and… My bear is funny looking, girl?" He asked to me, as he looked down on me. I was admiring his beard, it was very well taken care.
"N-No… It is pretty!" I said. "You've taken care of it, haven't you?"
"Oh… Why yes! It seems you've got good eyes, lad." He said with a smile. "A-Anyways, ahem! It is an honor to meet four S-Rank Adventurers. It has been around five years since we had another like you in here… A receptionist just told me you wanted to meet me right away so I quickly brought you here. Is there something you require? I'll do anything I can within my power to help you out."
"Yeah, we want to make these children Adventurers." Said my mother. "Is that possible?"
The Guild Master raised an eyebrow as he looked at all three of us… His eyes then suddenly shone brightly with some sort of magic power, as his pupils shaped as magic circles. He was using some sort of magic or innate ability that allowed him to "see" through us with detail.
"These children are… incredibly strong for their age." He said. "I am pretty sure you're well aware that it is against the rules to register people below the age of restriction, isn't that right?"
"Yes." Said my mother, sitting in front of the guild master. "We are also well aware that S-Rank Adventurers get many benefits."
"Indeed. One of them is bending Guild Rules to your liking… Haha." Sighed the man, he seemed completely hopeless. He was trying to act intimidating but my mother's gaze quickly forced him to look elsewhere.
"The children are possibly D-Rank based solely in strength, and I would say that the red-haired girl had such an immense quantity of mana that I cannot even discern it. I would guess she could even reach as high as B-Rank based in that alone. If she has such a large amount of mana, I can't imagine what sort of destructive spells she would be able to conjure…" He sighed. "By any chance, are these kids your children?"
"Yep." Said my father. "This is Sylphy, our daughter. She's a half-elf." He said, pointing to me. Then, Shade and Nepheline pointed out to Aquarina.
"And this is our baby, Aquarina." Said Nepheline.
"Mooom! Don't call me "baby"! I am already grown up!" Said Aquarina.
"She's a bit grumpy today." Said Shade apologetically.
"And this is my adoptive son, Zack." Said Ninhursag. "I-I am not registered as an Adventurer but I am a good friend of the four…"
"She's as strong as an S-Rank Adventurer, part of the rare Skin Changer tribe. She can transform into a fifty-meter big chimera and wreak havoc, so she probably deserves at least B-Rank Adventurer Card which should be doable for you without needing the approbation of nobles or any sovereign, right?" Asked my mother.
"Y-Yes, a Skin Changer! This is my first time seeing one. Indeed, your mana capacity is overflowing too." Said the guild master. "M-May I see… your magic?"
"Sure…" Said Ninhursag, as she quickly shapeshifted into a large Gray Wolf.
POOF!
"Oooohhh! T-This is true polymorph magic! I had only seen two other Polymorph mages before, one of them was a Blue Mage capable of copying monster spells and skills… And the other was a half-demon that could only morph into a demonic monster." Said the man. "Incredible… can you take more shapes?" He asked excitedly.
"Erm… yeah." Said Ninhursag, as she began shapeshifting into an eagle, a large panther, a six-limbed lizard, and even a large crab! Wow, I didn't saw that one. So that's the pincer she got in her necklace for!
"So you're really one… amazing!" He said. Ninhursag felt a bit embarrassed by all the praises she was getting.
"Anyways! Are you willing to or not?" Sighed my mother.
"Oh right! Yeah, sure… Let me… do this and this."
At the end, we took a small written test which was quite easy to complete, it asked about basic safety stuff. Zack got the worse qualification but it was just enough to qualify anyways. After that the man asked us to touch an orb that somehow calculated our total combat power or something. For me it couldn't be calculated and showed weird signs… at the end he gave up on this and just gave us the cards after asking for a drop of our blood, Ninhursag included. We all ended as E-Rank Adventurers as my mother said it was better to start from scratch. The registration was quite easy and swift, and after that we quickly moved to a nearby butcherer for Zack's hunted beast.
We left the beast there for the butcherer to dismantle carefully. The man had praised him for how awesomely he managed to hunt down the beast, and I was honestly just as amazed as him. I continued praising Zack because he really deserved some praise, and he got quite embarrassed each time, which made it fun to tease him for. Aquarina was getting a bit grumpier, so I stopped after a little while… She's really jealous, isn't she?
After what seemed like an eternity, we finally got into doing some nice and fun stuff, and with everybody we explored the large streets of this city, buying all sorts of provisions for the Amazon people as well. And at the end, we went into a restaurant to eat some nice lunch, it was very filling and the food in here was truly wonderful!
However, as we finished eating, I couldn't help but think about something odd. I was hearing a strange… sound? Perhaps because of my enhanced senses and because I was using the Enhanced Hearing Spell, but I felt as if someone was weeping nearby.
