Mercenary System

9 Chapter 9: Mercenary Guild

Morning of the next day

Razlov slowly got up from bed and wash his body using wet towel, since there's no bath in this Inn. Today he will be going to the Mercenary Guild to register as a mercenary, after 3 days of information gathering.

"Good morning Razlov. You're going to walked around the town again today?" Selina greets and ask.

"Good morning too Miss Selina, I'll be going to the Mercenary guild to register" said Razlov

"You want to be a mercenary?" shock at what I said, as Selina ask.

"Yes"

Selina shock reaction could be understood, because being a mercenary is a dangerous job. Although being a mercenary let you earn big it also has a big risk, you may die anytime in this kind of job.

"Then I will not advice you to stop, since I see that you know what your doing and you also look smart. Just be careful when your doing jobs." a tinge of worry flash in Selina's face.

"Thank you for your concern Miss Selina, I'll be careful in my future jobs." said Razlov

"Then be on your way. Ohh, do you want to eat breakfast?" Selina ask.

"No need, I'll just find food to eat on my way to the guild" said Razlov, then walk to the door.

Razlov slowly walked to the commercial district where the guild is situated. He arrive at guild just as he finish his last piece of skewered meat as breakfast. The guild is a big building with 2 storey floor, just like Flying Fish Inn the first floor is also a pub while 2nd floor is an office for the manager.

"Its been awhile since I manage to a earn a huge sum of money from a job."

"Well, only in war can we mercenary really earn big."

"Yeah, I miss the days when the empire was waging war against the alliance"

Before entering the door, Razlov could already hear conversation between mercenaries. Mercenary is basically an arms for hire, that's why when there is war the only people who are excited of it is none other than the mercenaries. They could earn a huge sum in exchange for their service.

Entering the guild and looking around, he could see people staring at him due to his outfit. After awhile they stop staring and continue what they were doing. Razlov walk to the reception area where a woman in her early twenties is standing, which is likely the receptionist.

"Hello, how may I help you?" ask the receptionist

"I want to register as a mercenary, is there any requirements I need to fulfill?" said Razlov

The receptionist seems to be not shock at what he said. Its seems to be that this is not the first time that a young man registered to be a mercenary in this guild.

Suddenly a muscular middle age man walk and stop beside him. Everyone in guild stop what they're doing and look at our direction waiting for a show.

"Kid, this place ain't for the likes of you who still reeks of mother milk" said the muscular man in a mocking tone.

"Go home and suck on your mother titties" said the muscular man why making a sucking motion

"HAHAHAHA!!"

Everyone burst in laughter at what muscular man said and motion.

Razlov ignore the muscular man said and treat him like a fart. The receptionist seems worried that she keep advising him to be calm in low voice.

Seeing that he is being ignore, the muscular man burst out with an angered tone.

"Kid! din't you heard me, I said scram out of here" said the muscular man in a angry tone.

Razlov continue to ignore him. There's no use in bickering with a drunk man since reasons wont work on it.

"Hahaha! Solba the kid is looking down at you!"

"Solba, he treating like an air not worth the kid attention!"

"Hahahaha!!"

'You!' seeing that he continue to ignore him plus the instigation of the crowd. The muscular man called Solba suddenly throw a punch at Razlov.

Suddenly a man with red hair who was on the same table as Solba, shouted to stop him.

"Solba stop!"

But its already to late. Solba's punch was already right in front of Razlov face.

Razlov tilt his head and body a little, just enough for him to dodge the punch. After dodging Solba's punch, he immediately gave a counter attack. Razlov gave an uppercut palm strike in the jaw of his opponent.

His counter attack directly hit the mark. Making Solba stagger a few steps back and stop then.

"THUD"

Solba fall's down while his back on the floor and his eyes rolled up. It seems he fainted from the damage that he recieve.

Well there is no need to doubt why Solba fainted. Razlov use palm strike to give shock to his opponents brain. Resulting in Solba fainting as a defense mechanism of his brain to reduce the damage.

Silence pervaded the surrounding, everyone stared eyes wide at Razlov. They are having difficulty processing what happened just now.

Razlov slowly turn his gaze to the slack-jaw and shock receptionist and ask.

"So is there any requirement in registering?" ask Razlov

Everyone recovered from their shock expression after hearing Razlov while they still keep staring at him in a cautious manner. The receptionist with a tinge of red on her face due to shame of her unsightly expression, slowly gaze down not daring to look at Razlov.

"Y-You just have to fill in some papers and a drop of blood for identification card and 2 gold coins for fee." answer the woman while her gaze was still on the ground.

"Thank you, then I would like to register." said Razlov with a smile

"Y-Yes, here is the paper to fill in." said the receptionist while a tinge of red on her face which is clearly different from earlier due to shame.

While Razlov was filling the paper, the red hair man who tried to stop Solba walk to him.

"Kid, I'm sorry at what my comrade did. I know what he did rude but please forgive him. He may look tough on the outside but he is soft on the inside. Solba just want to stop you since being a mercenary is a dangerous job." said the red hair man

"Don't worry about it" said Razlov while still filling the papers. He din't mind since his opponent did not even land a hit on him and his not a narrow minded person.

While the red hair man and Razlov was talking the other comrades of Solba drag him to their table.

"Why don't I treat you to lunch as an apology." said the red hair man

Razlov consider whether he should accept the offer. After deliberating for a second he accepted it since it could help him know how world of mercenary works.

"Okay, I'll just finish what I'm doing and I'll be there when I'm done." said Razlov with a smile

"Great! just come to our table and I'll treat whatever you want to eat." said the red hair man

Razlov finish filling the paper then the receptionist ask for his blood. The receptionist take out a small black metal box.

"This is 'Identification Box' a magi-tech that issue identification card as long as you put identification plate in the slot of the box and a drop of blood in the blood needle. It will take 2 hours to finish making the identification card." said the receptionist seeing my bewildered expression.

"Now, please put your finger in the needle and pay the fee." said the receptionist with a smile

Razlov took out 2 gold coins, gave it to the receptionist and put his finger in the needle for a drop of blood.

"Now please wait for 2 hour to get the identification card." said the receptionist

"Thank you" said Razlov
