Chapter 119 - Order Of Chaos.
They had two things on top of their lists; first, registering Castiel and Brian with the adventurer's association, which was pretty easy, and the last but not the least, finding where they would stay.
Although the school was still open to students like Blake who had no family and nowhere to go, the current atmosphere of the school was depressing, and staying there wasn't giving them the feeling of being on a 3 weeks break. So, they decided to rent living quarters for the period.
"I don't know many people or any place in this city. So for starters, I would say we should meet Susan at the adventurer's association and she might help us." After explaining the plan to them, they boarded a carriage that took them there.
Once they entered the 5 story building and Susan set her eyes on Blake, she became overly excited.
"Good day adventurer Zero, it's been a while..." Susan said with flushed cheeks.
"I've been quite busy lately, how are you doing?" Blake said with a smile on his face.
"I am good as always..." Susan said with a smile as she flaunted her smooth blonde hair. "How may I help you?" Susan asked.
"I will like to get them registered." Blake pointed at Castiel and Brian. "Also we would like to form a party."
When it comes to commissions, 20% of them were solo missions which are mostly based on requesting for magical materials, but the remaining 80% were party missions.
Missions that require protecting or delivering a package, raiding a dungeon, protecting a researcher who was on a dangerous expedition, and so on, were always commissioned to adventurer parties for more security because in this world numbers truly mattered.
"Okay let's get them registered first..." Susan said with a warm smile as she brought out 2 forms and handed one each to Brian and Castiel.
When both of them had taken a seat to fill the forms, Blake chatted with Susan for some time before telling her about their accommodation problem.
"You don't have to look so far for accommodation. The adventurer association building has a lot of rooms rented out to adventurers or did you think they made use of every single room of such a humongous building?" Susan asked with a raised brow.
'The adventurer's association is practically into every business on this planet. I wonder who is the person in charge of all of this?' Blake was stunned by the revelation, from the percentage they took from appraisals and commissions, they were making a lot of gold coins.
"That will be one gold coin each." After collecting the 2 gold coins and making sure everything was in other, Susan handed them the adventurer's manual and their adventurer's badges.
"Welcome to the adventurer's association adventurer Hades." Susan congratulated Castiel.
"Welcome to the adventurer's association adventurer Grock." Susan congratulated Brian.
"As for registering adventurer party, all you have to do is fill this form and pay a registration fee of 100 gold coins." She said to the group.
"100?!" Brian asked the question that was on Blake's mind.
"My registration is a gold coin so how did it move up to 100 coins?" Brian read Blake's mind once again.
"Adventurer Grock please don't misunderstand, the association isn't trying to cheat you.
Apart from registering your party with the local authorities to enable you to carry out your commissions easily with the city and so many other processes that will still be handled, the association will be held responsible for some of your actions and the price tag is to prevent just anyone from registering a party." Susan explained calming them down.
'Seems I have no other choice.' Blake sighed helplessly as he forked out 100 gold coins from his dimensional space.
[Hmph.] The system couldn't feel more ashamed of having such a host.
Soon, another form was given to them to fill. While answering the questions they decided who the party leader was, which was undoubtedly Blake with Castiel as the 2nd in command followed by Brian.
The filling went on smoothly until they reached the question requesting for the party's name.
"Gods of Olympus. You as Zeus, Castiel as Hades."
"Nope." Brian's suggestion was immediately thrown out the window.
"Unyielding might?"
"Too goody."
"I would have said Akatsuki, but not only will people of this world find it very difficult to pronounce, but it lacks originality on our part." Blake's words received a lot of nods.
"How about Order of chaos?" Castiel suggested.
"Hmmm. I like that." Blake was nodding to the idea.
"Not only is it catchy, but it has multiple hidden meanings." Brian gave Castiel a thumbs up.
"It's decided then..." Blake said as he filled in the blank space before submitting the filled form to Susan.
"Congratulations on forming the order of chaos!" Susan congratulated the trio.
'Thank the heavens that picking parties uniform and crest which would surely cost a lot was optional.' Blake let out a sigh of relief.
"Good day Miss Susan. Has the package arrived?" A stoic voice with a hint of pride drew everyone's attention.
"Good day Mister Taliesin. Yes, your package just checked in this morning." Knowing who she was dealing with, Susan went straight to the point.
"That is great news. I would like to hire an adventurer party to help me transport the package, but they should be mid to low-rank party and the commission will be set for tomorrow." The man said ignoring the trio, but they were in no way offended
The man was in his early 70's with well permed gray hair and a well-shaven mustache. Wrinkles were already forming on his face and skin, but every move he made was full of vigor.
"Most of the mid-rank parties are busy with other commissions, while the rest won't be free by the given time. As for the low-rank parties, almost all of them are too weak for an excursion commission, leaving us with 2 eligible parties, but one of them is already working on a commission." Susan said while checking the details on the crystal orb beside her.
