Chapter 273 The Recommendations

"V-viscount... Kromet? THE (Red-eyed hunter)?! And duchess Arina? THE (Sorceress of metals)?!

Who the hell are you two..."

The beautiful lady with a blank, horrified expression shouted with actual fear in her eyes, and the two of them couldn't help but sigh at this pitiful female.

They already knew this would happen, and her behavior was genuine.

The infamous bloodthirsty red-eyed hunter was a well-known <S> ranked adventurer and was known for the gruesome amount of dead bodies he would just so casually take out from the big storage devices.

And the way those beasts were killed was just unthinkable to the ones who had seen them.

And then there was the all-famous <SS> ranked adventurer and now, one of the most anticipated members of the elder council of magic.

She is known throughout the continent as (Sorceress of metals), because of her unparalleled affinity with this element and ways to use her magic.

She specialized in support magic and mostly used barriers, enhancement spells, as well as some powerful destructive series spells.

And she was unparalleled among any other mage in the empire when it came to barriers and trapping spells.

She also had a unique series of magic as her other specialization, but few knew about it.

And she was an accessory creator, some of the best out there.

She used this unique series of magic in attack and defense alike, but she was ultimately known for her unparalleled support magic.

And then… the mage of pure destruction.

The mage who actually induced fear in others' hearts with his cold, emotionless gaze.

And though who had actually witnessed it, would believe it is nothing less than a demon's or a supreme being's gaze.

His powerful destructive magic was not as refined as hers, but every one acknowledged him for his genius spell-casting.

Even after everything others had heard, those few who had witnessed him using magic in an actual fight couldn't help but accept that he was amazing.

The power of his spells was visible in just the way he could cast countless spells in a short time and kill with high destructive power.

But that power, that high destructive prowess, was mostly best in wide-range attacks.

To kill a large group... that was his magic.

And though he was good with wide-range magic, his single-target potent magic was no joke.

There had been many incidents where he defeated powerful beasts alone.

And these two famous people recommended the two of these children.

This was shocking in itself and after seeing these two things and thinking things through in her chaotic state, she thought things through.

...which was quick, seeing the gravity of the situation.

They had already shaken their heads in a 'no', so she wasn't going to get any answer to any of her questions.

The recommendations were there just for special cases like them, and as someone who had worked as the receptionist for quite a while, she understood special cases like them.

There always popped up people who shook the whole rankings, defied logic and general common sense, and possessed strength, unlike anyone.

And who wouldn't want to be the personal receptionist of someone like them?

If they do well, it will be their profit as well.

And she was just amazing to think things through like this in that much of a chaotic atmosphere.

With a long breath, she calmed down and first set down on the couch in this VIP room and the two of them also set down without much thinking.

They also set down, and she was massaging her forehead to clear up the remaining tension, and then she picked up the glass of cool water, all three of them, and drank all of them one by one.

And then she took a deep breath...

"Lucifer and Uriel. Quite the peculiar names two of you have.

Anyways... the recommendations are legitimate, so I will accept them.

You don't have to show your IDs now, which you might actually don't even have.

Anyway, the process from now is simple and I believe the two of you know everything, right?

About how the written exams work and the practice dual to decide your ranks, right?"

She was just looking down, not even looking at the two of them with her forehead on the interlocked hands on the table before the couch.

But she did look up just to check if they knew what she was talking about and when she saw the two of them nod without hesitation, she just nodded back and returned to her previous state.

It was ironic how the lady who spoke with the two normal-looking children so casually was acting like this.

And the two of them were now acting just so casually, unlike the outside, that it surprised the lady even more.

She didn't know who the two of them were, but the two knew quite a bit about this young and good-looking receptionist lady.

Her name was Stella, quite a beautiful name from the boy's point of view.

A normal commoner who just looked beautiful and had a special innate skill.

There was nothing much special about her aside from her special appearance and wonderful managing skills that made her so unapproachable and, at the same time, the most reliable one among the new receptionist.

She could finish any work so quickly that she had most of her time free and the people who did give her any task or asked for help with great difficulty in approaching were content with her proficiency and prowess.

And that was the very reason they asked this amazing lady, and not anyone else.

"Anyway... it will be ten silver for the license test. The written exam should be easy for you, naturally.

The time limit for it is three hours, and then the practical.

As you have the silver recommendation letter from such a famous figure, I don't know how the higher-ups will react, but don't worry.

No one would want to bother the ones with the backing of prominent marquis and duke households.

But still, I don't know if you can afford it, but I suggest you get the alliance confidentiality agreement.

Though it would cost an absurd fifty platinum coins for each of you, I assure you no one aside from the standing of a branch manager would be able to see your details.

It's a good idea if you want to keep your details hidden, not that I'm saying this because of my cut of the money.

Definitely not..."

Her voice was definitely not genuine about the money thing but, she meant what she said about the confidentiality thing.

And the boy agreed with what she said without any hesitation... unlike the frozen girl who couldn't fathom the absurd amount she had just heard.

It was a lot of money for her, and she couldn't think of spending such an absurd amount... not that she had to spend anything here.

The boy had already sensed her sudden hesitation, and he grabbed her hand, surprising her as well as the lady who had peeked through the gaps of her fingers.

The girl looked at him, in his eyes, and asked 'what the hell he was doing', and he simply answered 'not worried about money this time'.

But that didn't go well with her.

She had money, just that she was one of the stingiest ones in the entire higher society.

She had never spent much money and now that she was asked to spend that exhibit amount, she couldn't help but be angry at his words.

But he insisted, probably begged to just have this one, and told her that she could pay for everything the rest of the day.

And he was genuine, so… she had no choice but to accept the request.

And this entire silent conversation that this young lady watched with peeking eyes surprised her.

She was jealous of seeing the two of them this much close that they can converse with just eye contact and this intimate talk... was actually cute at the end.

She was beautiful, but she was alone, for now, and there was no need for her to go out and find a mate just yet.

There was still time for her, just that the two of these children were so young, so inexperienced, new to the world, and still… they had found each other.

She didn't know much about them, but from the warm look in the girl's eyes and the deeper warmth in his eyes was still a glorious scene for this receptionist.

But the short-lived conversation ended, and the boy took out a card from his storage device.

A black card with golden patterns and numbers on its back.

This card looked beautiful, and the receptionist was surprised by not only the card but... the absurd amount of money listed on its back.

"Please pay for all the things with this one. And also take one gold as a 'tip' for your great work, miss~."

Just like outside, he smiled at her with happiness, and she just nodded in agreement.

She was quite happy from hearing about that tip and all, but then again; she was now looking forward to the noteworthy results they achieve in their tests, and they… becomes a person she would love to serve.

All the things were done on her part now and the next stops were too straightforward.

A simple written test that the boy had already solved a long time ago and something the girl could ask her eyes to answer to some extent.

It was going to be the easy one and after they try defeating the practical taker, they would be adventurers in true meaning after a small talk with someone.

And... it will definitely be fun watching them do all of it~.
