Divine Beast Tamer

"Now that you know my name, Can I touch her now?", The young lady with green hair said with her face full of expectations.

But Freya who had woken up when she heard that someone would touch her shook her head.

Due to Arisa's action at that time, Freya became very sensitive to the word touch. She doesn't really want someone to touch her except Ronald.

Seeing Freya's action, Lily's head dropped down. Ronald thought that the lady in front of her was beautiful in a different way, though not as beautiful as Arisa, sadly that Arisa had a very bad attitude.

"Freya doesn't really want someone to touch her. Uhm... are here to register in the Adventurers Guild?", Ronald said he change the topic of their conversation.

"No. I am waiting for someone here, as we decided to hunt in the Everlast forest to level up."

"Oh... Then what is your level now?", Ronald asked with curiosity as he saw that Lily was just in the same age as him, base on her face.

"I'm now level 48, I had completed my coming of age ceremony just 2 weeks ago.", Lily said and sighed before she added, "Not that high though, not like my older sister."

Ronald was shocked when he heard this, he had been hunting for 3 months, but he only achieved level 30, though he may achieve a higher level if not for the special quest for his occupation advancement.

They continued talking together about some things before Ronald's name was called.

"Let's talk next time, I really enjoyed our talk. Goodbye miss Lily.", Ronald said and walked near to the counter.

"Okay, talk to you next time.", Lily replied as she waited on her seat. After some time, she stood up and approached someone, before they exited and left the Adventurers Guild together.

If Ronald saw who Lily approached, he would be really shocked, as the one who Lily approached was the girl who he didn't want to see - Arisa Wendelford.

Arisa was currently wearing a cloak with a hood to hide her identity, though the middle-aged man was still beside her, also wearing a cloak with a hood on it. Aside from the two of them, there was no other person who was among their group at that time when they entered Blake's Blacksmith shop.

In a corner, a lady was handing Ronald a card.

"Here's your Adventurer card. Please drop a droplet of blood to own it."

Ronald followed what she said and bit one of his fingers and dropped a droplet of blood in the card. After the blood fell on the card, it was absorbed by the card, and it lit up with a blue-colored light, then the card vanished.

"Eh, Where's my card?", Ronald asked in amazement.

"Just say the words - Adventurer Card, and it will appear before you."

"Adventurer Card", After Ronald said those words, the card reappeared again and floated in front of him.

"Wow, that was amazing."

Seeing the card appearing in front of him, he was very amazed by it.

"Then how would I make it disappear again?"

"As for you to not ask questions anymore, I'll explain to you the details pertaining the adventurer card."

"..."

The lady explained many things to Ronald all about the adventurer card - how to raise your card rank, how to receive quest and how to complete quests.

As Ronald was listening to the lady, he noticed that this lady had the same face as the lady in the counter. At first, he thought that the lady in front of him was the lady at the counter, but then he noticed that they had different personalities. The lady in the counter had a calm and serious personality, while the lady in front of him had a warm and lively personality. This thought had also been proven when his vision caught the figure of the lady in the counter bringing some papers as she passed by them.

Ronald didn't say what he had noticed and just let the lady in front of him continue.

After some time the lady finished her explanations about the adventurer card and how the Adventurers Guild worked.

"Thank you for explaining everything to me.", Ronald said with sincerity.

"Ah, That was nothing, it was my job anyway. By the way, do you have any questions to ask?"

"None. I had already understood everything that you said."

"I am not talking about my explanations.", the lady said with a smile.

Ronald was confused when he heard what the lady said, he thought, 'If not about the explanations, what should I ask her about?'

Seeing Ronald's confused face, the lady giggled before she said, "As I am explaining some things to you, I noticed that you are secretly looking at my sister? Do you have a crush on my sister?"

As if he was enlightened, Ronald replied. "Oh, so that was why you had the same face, is she your twin sister?"

"So that was what you are thinking about? I thought you had a crush on my sister. If you said that you had a crush on my sister, I would have informed you that, there are many other guys that were pursuing my sister."

"Was there no one that was pursuing you? You and your sister are both beautiful, so there must be someone who was pursuing you too."

Hearing Ronald's question, the lady just giggled, "Who would dare to pursue me? If they tried to pursue me, then my husband will beat them up until their family wouldn't even recognize them."

"So you had a husband, Uhm... that was all I wanna know elder sister. I need to go now. Goodbye."

"Okay, if you have any questions or something that you don't understand about the Adventurers guild, then just come and find me. By the way, my name is Grace."

"Goodbye sister Grace see you next time."

Ronald bowed before he left and exited the adventurers guild.

***

As Ronald left the Adventurers Guild, Grace who was watching him, entered a room within the adventurers guild.

Upon entering, Grace saw a man that was facing a piece of paper, looking at it seriously.

"Grace, what is your evaluation about him?"

The man said while still looking at the piece of paper in front of him, this paper was the same as what the scholar assassin held, on it was Ronald's face and the reward amount of 1,000,000 gold. This amount was not due to Ronald, but due to the little tiger on his head, even though they didn't know what rank the little tiger was, as a beast that had escaped Arisa's chasing, they were sure that the little tiger was a High-Grade Spirit Beast rank and above.

"He was really Selene's child, he had the same temperament as her. Also, he was quite talented as he had a high-grade Blue-colored talent line which was rare in our kingdom, even Princess Arisa, who came from the neighboring kingdom and was considered as a one in a thousand years genius, just had an Intermediate-grade Blue-colored talent line. But the most surprising thing is the little white tiger on his head, which had a low-grade violet-colored talent line."

Grace was someone who had the skill , which was considered as an A rank rated skill, that can determine the talent of the target that is classified into 7 colored lines - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet - where red is the lowest and violet as the highest. Every color was further graded into - Low, Intermediate, High. Talent line measures the person's potential and comprehension. A person with a greater potential would have a greater space to grow, and a person with a higher comprehension would have fast improvement in their skills.

"Now that we've found Selene's child, Honey, what should we do? Do we inform him and bring him to our side?", Grace asked as she arrived at the back of the man and massaged his shoulders.

"No, we would just observe him for now, Selene said that if nothing bad happened, we should not be involved in his life and let him grow by himself."

"But you know that he was being targetted by some assassin group right?"

"About that, I found out that the one who had given that mission was just one of the noble in this kingdom, that wanted to get the little tiger on his head and give it to someone and attain her favor." The man said in a calm tone as he sipped the coffee on his table before he continued.

"Also, don't worry about the assassin groups that had accepted the mission, as the largest assassin group had already back-out on this, though I knew that the Scholar Assassin wouldn't back-out without any reason as this mission had huge rewards. What was left now were those weak assassin groups in the kingdom, so let us just watch over him and observe how he would deal those assassin groups. It would still be not too late for us to act if he would be cornered, for now, let's just send a shadow guard that would watch over him."

The man who was talking to Grace was her husband and the guild leader of this branch of the Adventurers Guild, that was assigned by the Southern Main Adventurers Guild that was situated in the empire.
