An Extra’s POV

The rest of the registration process didn't take too long.

Burke was soon finished with most of it. There were just a few things left, and that included their signature, a shot of their real face, and the Adventurer Test that they would each have to participate in.

Of course, depending on the rank they desired, they would have to pay the appropriate sum to take the test. This way, the Guild wouldn't suffer any losses from organizing the test and accommodating the candidate.

The duo didn't have an issue with the signature—which was essentially just them imprinting their Mana on the form.

Anyone who desired to be an Adventurer had to at least have a Skill, and since Skills required Mana, it was expected for candidates to be able to use it.

Imprinting Mana wasn't very difficult, as the paper itself would extract the Mana once it made contact with the necessary part of the candidate's body. It required no Skill or innate Mana Control.

"There's no need for that. We'll do it here."

Burke nodded at his words, though she made a silent observation as the conversation progressed.

'The lady beside him isn't saying anything. Why?'

The gentleman was speaking for both of them as if it was natural. They both outlined in their history that they were partners, and they even opted to be recognized as a Party by the Guild.

'Are they married or something?' Burke wondered.
