The dragon's harem

Chapter 4 Becoming An Official Adventurer

Arad and Amber headed back into the guild, surrounded by the adventurersʼ gazes. She was used to it, but Arad was slowly getting on edge.

[Calm down. The adventurers are just a bit surprised at your power. This treatment should end soon as long as you keep it low.]

Tristana, who watched the training, rushed toward them, panting like she was running a marathon. ”Arad, what was that speed just now? Is it the same thing that you did at the goblins?”

Arad remembered it. He did cast a lot of [Firebolt] there.

In reality, he has cast them at the same time. That would be far more abnormal than just being fast. ”Yeah, Iʼm quite fast.” He giggled while scratching his chin.

Tristana stared at him, ”The might and arrogance of the red dragons, it doesnʼt come from empty claims.”

[Sorry, girl. Red dragons arenʼt this stupid right after birth. Voids are far more fearsome.]

Amber looked at them, smiling, ”But seriously, how powerful can you get in the coming years?” She looked at Arad with a wry smile, ”I hope you donʼt start spamming [Fireball] like that.”

Arad looked at her, ”I donʼt even know what a [Fireball] is.”

”Amber, bring him over here,” Nina called them from behind her counter, and all the adventurers opened their ears to listen.

Everyone in the guild was interested to see the new guyʼs stats. Who is this new raw talent that appeared out of nowhere, and what can he do?

Amber looked back at them, ”Nina, get the private room. Otherwise, I might set the place ablaze.” She had noticed Aradʼs face twisting. He might be strong but having everyoneʼs attention was still hard on him.

The adventurers looked noticeably disappointed as they sighed.

Arad and Amber followed Nina to the private room. As they reached the door, he stared at Amber.

”What? donʼt want me here?” She said with a smile.

Nina smiled, ”I suggest letting her in. It doesnʼt matter how much talented you are. You need a mentor.”

[It will be best to have someone to look up to and use as a baseline.]

”No, I donʼt have a problem with her being around,” Arad replied as they entered the room.

Inside the room, Nina presented Arad with the same orb from earlier. ”I finished your registration. But there seems to have been a problem with your stats. The orb must have incorrectly detected them since I did the appraisal on the fly.”

”So you want to re-apprise him again? That never happened before.” Amber said with a puzzled face.

Arad stared at them with questioning eyes.

Nina smiled, ”It doesnʼt happen a lot. The reason is usually violent magic inside the person like what sorcerers have, or state tempering.”

[This is bad; they must have noticed that I modified the stats. Whatever you do, donʼt touch the ball again. Unless; Get Amber to touch it first. I will use her stats as a base to modify ours.]

”Please touch the orb again so we can get your stats. This time I will do a slow appraisal.” Nina said with a smile.

Arad looked at Amber, ”You can here to see my stats, right?”

Amber smiled, ”Of course, I want to see what talent you have.”

Arad smiled, ”Then letʼs see your stats first. I do want to know how sorcerer stats look.”

Amber smiled, blushing, ”You know, you little perve, that like asking to see a woman naked.”

Arad gave her a blank face, ”You want to see mine, so I need to see yours. Otherwise, Iʼm not getting apprised.”

Nina stared at him, ”You can see mine if you want.”

[We need a sorcererʼs stats, not hers]

Arad stared at her, ”No, thank you,”

Nina turned to stone, cracking at being refused instantly. She started twirling her finger on the ball, almost crying. ”Of course, he doesnʼt want to see mine. I only have [Berserker], [Unfiltrated Rage], [Undying Carnage].” She mumbled with a sad face.

Amber immediately touched the ball, ”Fine, look.” With a flash of light, her stats appeared.

Looking at Amberʼs stats, he felt that he looked lacking.

[Impressive, but still canʼt reach the height of Void dragons. I will use her as a baseline.]

Arad smiled. Now then, letʼs see my stats. He lifted his hand and gently touched the ball.

Ninaʼs eyes opened wide, ”You have spells as an innate ability?”

Amber stood, ”Hold up, those are the ones from earlier.”

[[Fire Creation] Allow you to create Fire, and [Fire Control] Allows you to control it. Those spells are from those.]

Arad smiled, ”I use [Fire Creation] and [Fire Control] to create them. They arenʼt actual magic.”

Amber shook her head, ”To mimic magic with your innate power isnʼt easy.”

Nina looked at the stats closely, ”Your [Magic] [Intelligence] both surpass Amberʼs, but I still canʼt see that creating such an effect.”

[Tell her itʼs the [Draconic Brain] and add that itʼs why you can cast faster than normal.]

Arad looked at them and took his hand off the crystal ball. ”Itʼs the [Draconic Brain]; it also allows me to cast faster.”

Nina and Amber stared at each other; this was the first time they saw such ability.

[Draconic Brain] does it mean that Arad has a dragon brain? The two thought.

”Well then, let me give you your guild card. Please use it carefully.” Nina handed him the card with both hands, with a smile.

”Why?”

”A replacement will take a month. You wonʼt be able to take quests in that time.” She replied.

”You just prepared the card in under an hour. Issuing a replacement shouldnʼt take longer than that. Are you joking with me now?” Arad glared at her and curled back into a ball.

Amber grabbed his head, ”This draconic brain of yours is a bit annoying. If a guild card is missing or damaged, they will investigate its location and authenticity.”

Arad glared back at her, ”Then why I canʼt take quests?”

”To prevent other people from taking quests in your name.” She replied.

”How are you going to mistake my face?”

[Barbarian can be a bit stupid. Nina might mistake your face.]

”There are hundreds of adventurers in this city. You can also take quests in other towns, so itʼs possible to impersonate other people. Illusion magic is also a thing, donʼt forget that.” She stared him in the eyes.

[Oh, there is that as well.]

Arad stood, ”I have to go.”

The two looked at him, ”To where?”

”I want to take a small quest and see how the system works,” Arad said with a smile.

Ninaʼs face brightened as if she remembered something, ”The birch hunters left something for you.” she said.

”Birch hunters?”

”Nigel and his party, since you helped them, they decided to give you half their quest reward.” She took a small pouch from her pocket.

”Twenty-six goblins and one goblinʼs shaman, a total of 1 silver and 40 copper coins. Your share is half, so 70 copper coins.” She handed the pouch to him.

Arad looked inside. He saw a lot of rusty coins. ”How is the pricing?”

”Five copper for normal goblins and ten copper for the shaman.” She replied.

Amber smiled at him, ”Adventurers usually donʼt ask about the price details.”

”Mother said Barbarians arenʼt very smart. I had to count after her.” He replied nonchalantly.

Nina started looking at the ball with a dead face, ”Hehe, my intelligence is only 7. I didnʼt even count the reward; the accountant did.” She was illiterate and mainly worked there to keep the adventurer in check using her strength and intimidation.

BAM! Amber punched his head, ”You rude little piece of dragon talent. The rumors about red dragon sorcerers are true after all.”
