"A family of four applying to be mercenaries? That's quite rare."

In the noisy hall of the mercenary guild, after half an hour of waiting in line, it was finally our turn.

The middle-aged man in charge of reception looked at the four of us and sighed quietly.

"Well, it looks like times have been tough lately..."

No, no, no. Although I'm not very clear about your living conditions, it's definitely not your fault to see us dressed like this.

An old man, a swordsman, a mage, and an assassin who looks like a child...if we don't count that skinny swordsman in the corner and that mage who looks like he can't get up at all, we should be the weakest team here, right?

"Priest, swordsman, mage, and assassin? Have you filled out the forms?"

"Yes."

We handed over the forms.

Then the person at the reception actually started entering the data from the forms into a terminal. My goodness, even this rundown mercenary guild is using this kind of thing?

I'm not slandering when I say that the mercenary guild is rundown. Although it is responsible for registering all the mercenary data, it looks almost like a dilapidated demolition house.

If I hadn't seen the additional support structure on the inside, I almost wouldn't have dared to come in.

Please, can't they make the room look better? Is this a unique fashion? To look dilapidated and rough? Very domineering? If that's the case, I can only say that our worldviews are different.

But since there are so many people here, let's trust their judgment.

Speaking of which, I did consider using Blink to leave, as it is the most convenient and fast way.

However, I don't want too many people to know about the special skill I use. Although I don't know what type of magic Blink belongs to, and the user interface doesn't provide any explanation, I personally think it's close to teleportation magic in terms of spatial manipulation.

Not many people know about this kind of magic, so if there are other methods, I'd rather not use it.

Of course, except during battles, as there are skills like Oyado's sudden disappearance, I can use it for short-range space jumps without being noticed by ordinary people.

But in the current situation...although Oyado is fine, Dale...although he's a problem child, is at most a chuunibyou, so it's fine to ignore him.

But there's also a mysterious force here, Gabriel. Although I promised to help him find that humanoid control device, I can't guarantee that he will keep everything confidential.

Although I can just leave him behind, for us, Gabriel is a very strong force, a level 56 light mage, and also a priest. However you look at it, he's a very powerful character.

Compared to my beginner-level healing technique, he comes back fully healed and in perfect condition, almost like a god of healing.

Although it's unreliable, for now, let's maintain this kind of relationship. It's beneficial for both sides, isn't it?

"Alright, your data has been filled out."

After saying that, the person handed three badges to us. Taking a look, my registered name was written on it.

Yuri Fieri

Of course, that's just a pseudonym. You can't just use your real name casually, but I didn't intentionally choose this name...it was deliberate.

"Look, big brother~"

Oyado placed her badge in front of me.

Yuri Tsuki

In short, it sounds very nice.

"Please keep this badge with you at all times. It serves as your proof of identity."

"What if it gets lost? Won't someone pick it up and use someone else's identity?"

"Generally, that wouldn't happen, and we have already recorded your appearance here."

Suddenly, I broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, our appearance now is not like those people from the Chelfa Empire yesterday, otherwise it would be disastrous. Although now I look like a student, no one should bother.

"Of course, to ensure safety, if you reach B-rank or above as mercenaries, we will provide you with special identification. No need to worry."

"Is that so? Thank you."

With a bitter smile, I looked at the "F" on the badge and put it into my ring.

Could it be that this is indirectly opening up the mercenary's upgrade route for me? Speaking of which, my mage level hasn't increased at all, I wonder what level it should be considered now.

"Well, let's go accept the mission first~ Dait~"

I smiled and said to Dael.

Yuri Dait, this is Dael's new name.

"Okay...okay..."

Dael now dresses in a deep blue cheap mage robe and thick black-framed glasses.

This guy claims to have been a scientist before...and now it seems to be true.

"Let's go~"

"Don't run around everywhere..."

Now Gabriel has completely entered the role of a father, Yuri Bai, that is his name now.

Approaching the mission board and looking around, I finally found an escort mission at the top, the location is the city of Colimari near the royal city.

However...

"This mission is quite suitable, our luck isn't bad."

Dael said from the side.

"But it's very dangerous."

"Dangerous~ Dangerous~"

Gabriel and Oyado walked over directly, took a look, and said so.

"Why do you say that."

Dael immediately asked.

"Because it doesn't specify a level, this kind of mission...requires a lot of cannon fodder."

Although I'm not very clear about the rules here, seeing this is not difficult to imagine the meaning behind it. Although there's no specified registration, the mission is A-level, which means anything below A is just asking for death.

But, the premise is really below A.

Just took a quick look at the levels of the mercenaries around, 1-5 is F, 6-10 is E, 11-15 is D, 16-20 is C, 21-30 is B, 31-40 is A, as for S, I haven't seen it yet.

Anyway, we are considered C-level mercenaries, and we still have one that's probably S-level.

Although Oyado's level jumped to 7 due to the last battle, she's still an E-level, but...her combat power cannot be measured by level alone, it's definitely above mine.

"But even if we know that, we still have to accept this mission, right?"

"That's right, exactly."

Interesting, I'm also very curious...about what the life of a mercenary is like!
