BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 [Bonus ] Registration
Looking at the building with a very good design, I thought;
\'As expected, Adventurers Guild is something else.\'
A building containing five floors with creamy color, giving the impression of something pure. There are some engravings on the walls making the building look, fresher.
Since it was fairly early in the morning, there weren\'t many people in the entrance hall.
Slowly making my way, I entered the guild building, walking past two guards waiting in front of the door, albeit not without using my [All Seeing Eye].

--------------
Looking at the system panel popping in front of me, I thought;
\'Hmm, guards as five-star knights. That\'s quite a force. Well, as expected from the guild, I guess?\'
With those thoughts, I entered the building.
The interior is something you would expect from an adventurers guild.
Three different tables were used by the receptionists, and behind them, three beautiful women were waiting. Since most of the adventurers are pretty basic people with brutal lifestyles, receptionists being beautiful and charming is essential to take customers, which is a pretty common practice on Earth as well.
"Miss Selina, are you free this evening? If you are okay, how about grabbing dinner?"
"Cough, sorry for that, mister…?"
"Johan."
"Ah, yes. Mister Johan, sorry for that. I am a bit busy in the evening, so maybe next time."
"Is that so? It is a pity, then."
Although it is early in the morning, you can still see a person trying to hit on the receptionist. A man is a man wherever you go, I guess.
"Hello. How can I help you?"
Slowly coming to the desk, the receptionist with pink hair and purple eyes behind asked.
"I would like to register as an adventurer."
"Understood. Please fill this form until I come back."
Handing me a form that asked for my name and other things related to my identity, like my age and my birthplace, etc., the receptionist went backside.
\'Hmm, going with my original name wouldn\'t be too much of a problem.\'
Thinking that I filled out the form.
"If you finished filling out the form, please put your hands on top of this sphere."
Coming back again, the clerk put a sphere with an empty glass in front of me.
\'Hmm, a rank determiner.\'
Thinking that, I put my hand on top of the sphere.
"Please inject your mana or aura in it. We will confirm your rank."
Hearing this, I started emitting my aura since my mana was sealed.
The moment my aura entered the sphere, it started shining, and after a second, a number of 1 showed on top of it.
"Hmm, a one-star knight. As you have written there. Now, please inject your mana in it."
"I can\'t use my mana for the time being. You can register me as a 0-star for now."
"Hmm? Understood if you wish to do so. Please come with me to the backyard."
Although the clerk was slightly surprised, being the professional she was, she managed her expression quite well and started leading me to the backyard.
\'And, here comes the famous combat determination.\'
"Although we can determine a person\'s rank with that sphere, we still need to see how they fight to assign them an accurate adventurer rank. You will fight with this golem in front of you. Your life won\'t be in danger, so please fight without worrying."
Explaining the process, the clerk pointed out the golem of 2 meters in height with a bulky build.
"Okay."
Without saying anything, I unsheathed my Nihil, taking my position.
In the game, before being an adventurer, the player would go through this process as well, and the more damage you inflict on the golem, the higher rank you would get.
Now, let\'s see how that works in real life.
"Start."
/SWOOSH/
Hearing the sign, I immediately dashed to the golem, attacking its shoulder with a thrust attack.
/SPLURT/
Since my specialty is speed, without even needing to activate my aura, I landed the hit, making a green substance spurt from the wound.
/SWOOSH/
And then dodged the following fist swing.
/PIERCE/ /SPLURT/
Counterattacking, I immediately pierced it again, opening another wound in it.
/THUD/
And the golem fell to the ground.
"Mister Callius, please retreat back for a second."
Hearing the clerk\'s voice, I got back.
\'Hmm, the first phase is just easy as I expected.\'
Thinking that I remembered the fight in the game. First, you would fight a level one golem with the average stats of a one-star rank knight. If you beat it, its stats will increase to the two-star knight, and that would go on like that.
Considering that, the first fight was easy.
"Now, I will increase the strength output of the golem, so please keep that in mind."
Signaling me, the clerk got into her safe position, recording the fight.
"You can go now."
/SWOOSH/
This time, before I attacked, the golem was before me attacking.
/CLANK/ /SWOOSH/
Immediately blocking its fist with my sword, I retreated back using the unique footwork of our family. However, the brute force behind that strike was no joke. My hands were tingling.
\'Using Trick of Light won\'t be helpful in this state since the golem is not looking at my movements but using a mana sensor for it. And it is fast, but I can see it.\'
/SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/
Another attack of three came following me.
However, this time I was not caught off guard.
/PIERCE/ /SPLURT/
Immediately dodging the attacks, I dashed to its back, stabbing the joint points I figured with my [All Seeing Eye], making the golem stagger.
/SWOOSH/
When it comes to speed, I still can cope with it even though it has two-star stats.
/SLASH/
Dodging the following strike by lowering my center of gravity, I dashed to the golem, slashing its other weak point and making it immobilized for a second.
\'Sword of Lightning, Piercing Rain.\'
/STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/
And following that, I attacked at a very fast speed without letting it regain its composure, marking the end of this round.
/THUD/
Staggering, the golem fell to the ground just as before.
Since the golem is a product of magic, it works with mana, which means if one can cut the mana supply of the golem, it can easily be defeated, just like the way humans work.
This was the method I used to defeat the golem in this round.
"Mister Callius."
"I know."
The moment the golem fell to the ground, I had already retreated.
"I will now increase the stats of the golem to the third-star level. Do you want to fight with it again?"
"Yes."
"Understood."
Hearing me confirming, the clerk went to the same place.
"Signal me whenever you are ready."
This time, she gave me enough time to prepare, which is certainly a good thing.
\'Now, without using my aura, I won\'t be able to defeat it.\'
Thinking that I immediately started using my aura. Filling every nook and cranny of my body with aura while also covering my sword with it, I took my position.
When a knight uses his aura, it will increase the physical aspects of the knight while also increasing the attack power of the weapon itself.
However, every person\'s aura has its own properties. In my case of me, mine would increase my speed. I have yet to see other benefits, so that\'s all I know.
Feeling the strength of my muscles increasing, I exhaled my breath, focusing on the golem standing.
"We can start."
"Understood...…. Go."
/SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/
This time deciding to attack first; the moment I heard the signal, I immediately dashed to the golem in my front.
Albeit, it was a lot faster than I expected.
/SWOOSH/
Dodging the fist of the golem in my front by a hair\'s breadth, I tried to attack its opening.
/CLANK/
But my attack got blocked by its hand.
\'Its intelligence increased as well.\'
Trying to stab.
Getting blocked.
Dodging the following attack and counter-attacking.
The fight suddenly turned into a fight of endurance.
No matter how hard I tried, I wasn\'t able to break its defense.
And the wounds I had accumulated with constant fights started piling up as well.
\'I can\'t continue like this. I need to break somehow.\'
/CLANK/
With that thought in my head, I attacked, albeit it got blocked again.
However, at that moment, something caught my attention.
\'It is reading my movements.\'
At that moment, I remembered my fight with Julia.
\'Don\'t forget, all those people you are trying to read like a book have the pen to write it.\'
Remembering that phrase, I took another position.
"Huff."
Slowly exhaling my breath, I emptied my head, focusing on the golem with my [All Seeing Eye].
\'An opening on its right.\'
Seeing the opening, I immediately attacked.
However, just like it had already read my movements, the golem raised its hand immediately, blocking my strike.
.
.
.
Or not.
It was a feint.
/SWOOSH/ /STAB/
The moment the golem raised its left hand, immediately dashing to its back, I stabbed the new opening, which I led intentionally, making its left arm completely devoid of any mana supply.
And that was the breaking point of the fight.
Since its arm was immobilized, the equilibrium was over, meaning the fight had already finished.
\'Sword of Lightning, Piercing Rain.\'
/STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/
Stabbing the immobilized golem before me, I immediately marked the end of the fight.
"Huff, huff, huff."
/CLAP/ /CLAP/
"That was good."
The moment I finished the fight, between those heavy breaths, I heard a clapping sound coming from the sides.
Turning my head, I saw a man with a slender body standing beside the shop clerk holding his crane.
"Ah, sorry for interrupting suddenly like that. You must be confused…."
Saying that the man started approaching me.
\'He must be the guild master of this branch.\'
"I am the Guild Master of Chusport City, Phillip Castillo."
Extending his hand, the man before me said.
"I am Callius. A wannabe adventurer."
"Hello, Callius. Welcome to the guild. Congratulations, you will be the first person to start as a D-rank while being a one-star knight."
That was the starting point of my adventurer career….
