Chapter 25 Adventurers Guild

Daedalus left the guard station and then began walking towards the town's main plaza to see if he could find anything interesting to buy or information. Reaching the plaza Daedalus saw a crowd of people gathered around a single relatively large building. Walking over Daedalus asked one of the people beside him "Why is there a crowd over here?"

The older man that he had just asked the question to looked at him and smiled amicably before saying "This is the adventurers guild building for this town, it opens early every morning for the adventurers. See they are opening the door now, I assume you will be signing up as an adventurer, good luck I hope you get a good rank."

"Yes, thank you, I will see you around." Daedalus said with a smile before walking towards the door of the guild.

After waiting about ten minutes Daedalus finally got in and walked to the counter that had a banner saying "become an adventurer today". Arriving at the counter the lady behind the counter said "Hello sir, are you here to sign up as an adventurer?" with a smile.

Daedalus replied with a curt "Yes." and she handed him a few forms to fill out. Most of the forms were simply who are you where are you from. After filling out the forms Daedalus handed them back and she said "Ok now all that is left is the combat test, this test will be administrated by the guild master. Follow me."

Arriving in the guilds basement Daedalus was told that he could get ready in a changing room to the right of the small arena. Daedalus went into the changing room before looking around, after confirming no one else was there he took his armour and shield out from his space ring and began putting the armour on. This was no Void Walker but just something he had made while practising during his training so it was quite bad in his eyes, it was the same for the sword.

Walking out of the changing room he was immediately shown to the small arena were they told him to enter and prepare to fight. After waiting for thirty minutes Daedalus was getting bored when finally a man walked down from the stairs and said "Sorry for taking so long I had to deal with some important papers." before walking into the arena.

The man was a human, almost two metres tall, wearing a good quality leather and steel armour with a short sword and shield on his back. Daedalus could also feel an overwhelming amount of danger from the man to the point he began to go slightly pale, however Daedalus grit his teeth and said "Can we start now."

The man simply smiled and nodded before gesturing with his hand as if to say "Come show me your strength." Daedalus seeing this suddenly sprinted forward his sword dragging slightly behind him before slashing at the man with all his might. However to his shock the man reached out in what seemed like a slow gesture but was actually as fast as lightning and grabbed the blade between his finger and thumb, before snapping it in two.

The man punched Daedalus in the stomach lightly sending him flying into the arenas net unconscious. As he was knocked unconscious Daedalus heard the man say "A good seedling, already quite strong probably c rank or so."
