Volume 1 Chapter 12 If I Had Friends With Me
We walked a little from the square and arrived in front of the Adventurer's Guild on the main street.
With Fatina in tow, we entered the guild building.
Our purpose was to do the Adventurer Registration and have Fatina's abilities appraised.
"So this is the Adventurer's Guild. It's my first time here."
Fatina looked around the guild with curiosity.
Since the village is near Voltana, it seems she has been to the town itself, but she has never been to the Adventurer's Guild.
"When you do the Adventurer Registration here, they appraise your Level Cap and skills for free."
"Oh, I see! Then I want to register right away!"
As usual, I approached the counter and spoke to the receptionist.
"I want to request Adventurer Registration for this woman."
"Oh, you're...!"
The receptionist seemed to want to say something the moment she saw my face.
It must have reminded her of the time she bought my Killing Bear.
But after a while, the receptionist returned to her usual expression.
"Ahem... Well then, please tell me your name. And, please hold your hand over this crystal ball."
"I'm Fatina. Nice to meet you... Is this okay?"
As Fatina said this and placed her right hand over the crystal ball, the crystal ball shimmered and letters appeared on the paper.
The receptionist took the paper and began to read it aloud.
"Um, your Level Cap is... 10? Huh!? No way! Level Cap 100!?"
At that voice, all the adventurers in the guild looked at us at once.
To be honest, I was surprised too.
I had never heard of an adventurer with a Level Cap of 100 before.
"Huh? Is there something strange about that?"
Fatina asked the receptionist with a puzzled look.
If I thought about it, she still didn't have knowledge about the typical Level Cap of adventurers.
"Oh, this is not just strange! No one has ever reached Level Cap 100 from this guild before! And on top of that, with four skills!"
'Huh!?'
'What the heck is that!? I've never heard of it before!'
'Wait a minute! Even two skills would be rare, but four!?'
'This is just too amazing! Who on earth is this person!?'
"Your skills are [Sword Saint], [Magic Resistance], [Growth Enhancement], and [Healing Magic (Holy Magic)]!"
"Um, which one is impressive?"
"[Sword Saint] is the top-tier skill of an extremely rare swordsman blessed with exceptional swordsmanship. It is said that the owner can become a magnificent master of the sword as they grow!"
"That's great! With this, Ark-sama, we'll be able to defeat that monster!"
Fatina is overjoyed to hear this.
Certainly, with the skill of [Sword Saint], she should be more than capable of facing that monster.
Furthermore, even though she is a swordsman, Fatina has the [Healing Magic] skill.
This valuable ability allows her to recover while battling monsters, demonstrating high endurance.
The [Magic Resistance] skill grants strong resistance against magic.
As some of the monsters' attacks are magical in nature, this skill should enhance the resistance.
Furthermore, the [Growth Enhancement] skill applies additional adjustments to the status upon leveling up, resulting in a greater increase. In other words, the growth rate per level is higher than that of other individuals.
This makes for an excellent compatibility with the level 100 Fatina.
Her abilities as a swordsman were impeccable.
"Hey, you! Join our party!"
"No, join ours!"
"It's obvious that you'll join our party!"
Upon hearing of Fatina's abilities, adventurers from the guild flocked to her.
"Um! Um, excuse me! We already have someone to team up with!"
If things continue like this, it will become a huge commotion.
I quickly take her hand and move away from the guild building, heading a little further down the main street.
"Phew... Thank you very much."
(But if it's Fatina's ability, maybe it would be better for her to join a stronger party and train, rather than teaming up with me)
While our goal is to defeat the monsters that attacked the village, I should still make the best choice for her sake.
"By the way, Ark-sama, may I ask what the appraisal result was?"
"I have a Level Cap of 1 and can only use a magic called 'Instant Death Magic'."
"Oh, I see. But if I were to form a party, I would prefer it to be with Ark-sama. Is my ability not good enough?"
"Huh?"
I was caught off guard by her unexpected words because I hadn't talked about my Instant Death Magic in detail yet.
I never expected to be told something like that.
"This morning, I heard that Ark-sama went searching for an inn in the middle of the night to put me to bed. I trust Ark-sama more than anyone else, so I want to form a party and fight together."
"..."
Unable to find the right words, I could only stare at Fatina's face.
"Is that not a good enough reason?"
"No, I understand."
I turned towards Fatina again.
"Fatina, I want you to join my party."
"Yes! I look forward to it!"
Fatina nodded enthusiastically with a smile.
"Well then, where are we going from here?"
"First, we need to prepare equipment to fight monsters."
To defeat the monsters that attacked the village, we need to raise Fatina's level.
For that, we need weapons and armor.
"Ah, then it's with Gail-san, right?"
"Gail-san?"
A name I didn't recognize came up, so I couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? The owner from the backstreet shop, you know?"
I still didn't know the name of that shop owner.
And so, we returned to the backstreet shop.
"Hey, how did it go?"
As we opened the door and entered the shop, the owner greeted us from behind the counter as usual.
"Well, I'm at Level Cap 100, and I have the skill [Sword Saint], so I think I can fight!"
"L-Level Cap 100!? What's that!?"
The owner seemed too surprised and raised his voice.
"But she's an extraordinary girl... and with the [Sword Saint] skill. I guess there's no choice but to team up with big bro to defeat that monster, right?"
The owner grinned as he looked at me.
"...Yeah, we just formed a party earlier."
"Oh, really? That's great. By the way, I haven't asked before, but what kind of abilities do you have, bro? You're a magician, right? I remember."
"I'm Level Cap 1, and my skill is [Instant Death Magic]."
When I said that, the shopkeeper's eyes widened in surprise.
"I can't believe you're the rumored weakest adventurer! But you're plenty strong. And it's interesting that you have a combination of Level Cap 1 and 100. Hahaha."
The shopkeeper laughed and started arranging various items on the counter.
Among them were black leather gloves that could slip off your fingers, silver gauntlets and breastplate, and swords, among other things.
"You're going to level up from now on, right? Come and get your equipment here. The girl's equipment is for a swordsman, and yours is for a magician."
"Oh, um... But I don't have any money..."
"Oh, don't worry about that. I've given plenty to this brother here. It won't cost you anything."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Well, there are various reasons for that."
It's probably the material from that skeleton ogre that he thought was stolen anyway.
"Well, if you're up to the upper layer, armor is fine, but if the sword isn't of the highest quality, it'll quickly break down. Especially if it can withstand the skills of a [Sword Saint], a silver sword. That would be good."
The shopkeeper pulled the sword that was on the counter out of his sheath.
It was a sword with a silver blade that glowed dully.
"This one is effective against undead. It's the best item I have so far."
"Thank you! I'll cherish it!"
"Hey, don't worry, good luck to both of you!"
Fatina carefully held the sword given to her by the shopkeeper.
After preparing our equipment with the help of the shop owner, we decided to immediately head to level up.
