Ah my training has paid off! Looking at things though, there were 3 things that really surprised me. The increased mana from -Internal Mana Control-, the increase in % boost from the passive of -Physical Enchant- (which now I understand why it uses more mana per second), and the increase absorption rate from -External Mana Control-. Training would have gone so much faster if I knew I could pull more mana in than when I first started! Now I think I should have trained -Multi Blast- and -Doppelganger- a little if I had that much mana to play with. I can have -Physical Enchant- on and layer it with -Body Part Enhancement-! That gives me 3 mana of external mana to play with! I turn them on now, and see start moving my -Body Part Enhancement-, which as I see now only takes a little bit of concentration! Also looking at my stats I basically have level 3 stats without having any stat points distributed. I should use those, but I want to save them until I know what class I'm going into. Add the extra 13 points to 4 different stats when I have -Physical Enchant- on and that gives me more than level 5 stats! HA HA HA HA...... Manual activation for the win! Well enough being amazed with myself, time to put this to use, but first to the Adventurers' Guild like EAT has been telling me to do.

The Adventurers' Guild was a bustling place, there were people crowded around bulletin boards, and lines upon lines of people waiting for their turn at the counter. There was one line though that only had 8 people in it. I looked at the sign above the line, and the letters change as I concentrate on it, REGISTRATION. Ah, late starters like me, but looking at the others it looked like they were far ahead of me in the game. Judging from their equipment they all looked like they had their classes and had a complete set all ready to go. *Sigh* I guess that's what happens when you actually join a Class's guild. I see some players in the back staring at something above the registry desk, ah a huge crystal. The huge crystal was shoring the level, class, and power level. What is power level? This one had level 15 class Berserker power level of 270. Oh they look impressed, and as the person is walking away from the registrar he is approached by the players in the back. I overhear them all trying to recruit them into a guild. Ah! Guild recruiters, new blood must be hard to come by as most people already play the game, who knows some of these guys might even be NPCs.  Well I better get inline before it increases. A bit later I feel a tugging on my jacket. I turn around and get confused, until I look down and see a little girl in a robe and witch's hat with a rather large bag.

"Hello, is this where you register for the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Why yes it is. If you look over the line you'll see the registration sign."

"Ah it looks like gibberish to me, I guess this is another one of those times {Literacy} might have been helpful. My master said that it was important, but didn't know how to teach it."

"Master? Ah you must have registered at the Mages' Guild. Well if you need anything read I can help. Im Chris by the way."

"I'm Chie, big brother Chris did you  start playing recently too?"

"Big brother? Nice to meet you Chie. Yes I did just a few days ago."

"Ah the auto-translation doesn't translate right. I'm speaking in Japanese right now. Wow so you finished all your class quests already? It took me the whole month to finish, they're all fun though."

"Oh no I'm still a Novice."

"That's why you're wearing those clothes. My friends said it was a lot better to get your class first, and go hunting with the class guild. They said you level faster, and by then when you get through the beginner quests there you register here and you can get a higher rank right at the beginning. Also by the time you do register you'll have enough money for the fee."

"Oh I didn't know, I'm just going with the flow here, I still don't know which class to take." Crap a fee I hope I have enough....

"That's a little irresponsible, could big brother Chris be a little bit of an airhead? Oh what does it say on that large crystal over there?

"Ha ha I get that from time to time. Let's see.... level 15 class Craftsman power level 260. It looks like that's what the guy registering over there is. I'm not really sure about the power level thing though."

"Oh I see that's why master said to level up once and not use the stat points yet, and also to make sure the buffs run out before registering. Power level is your total stat points including any buffs from skills or anything like that. Master said I shouldn't reveal my true power as a precaution, but the downside is it's hard to get into any guilds that way."

"Ah I see thank you Chie, that's very helpful. I think I'll take your master's advice." I say as I turn off my buffs. The bad part is my passive will still be on man my power level is going to look weird. As I release the skills my -Physical Enchant- and -Body Part Enhancement- levels up. I decide to turn on -Analyze- as I hadn't worked on it at all. I was greeted with an amazing sight, Chie's robes had so much mana and it had symbols on it where more mana was gathered. There also seemed to be quite a bit of mana in her large bag, as I expected though, I couldn't see any levels or hp on anyone in the room. I took a quick peek at the other mages, and although they had some mana on their equipment there wasn't nearly as much as there was on Chie. "Wow Chie I can tell you're really strong, so why the need to hide your strength?"

"Ah that light in your eyes not fair big brother Chris, that's the same thing master uses. He said the same thing when I showed him my new robes I made and my hat. Is it really that strong looking?"

"Yeah I can tell you worked hard on them."

"Thank you big brother Chris, but it looks like it's almost your turn."

I turn around and she was correct there were only a few people left ahead of me. " Ah ok well it was nice meeting you Chie." I can now hear what the guy at the register was saying, he sounded so bored like he had been repeating it too often and kept getting the same responses.

"Gather mana on your hand and put it on the crystal ball, if you don't know how to do so use a skill on the big crystal on your right. The cost for doing so is 50 copper.... Alright you qualify for rank 3, if you need a tutorial on how the guild works I can get an attendant for you. Here is your crystal ball that has your stats and rank on it. If you need a tutorial on what to do with it I can also grab an attendant for that. If you have no questions you can grab any quests at your corresponding rank's bulletin board. NEXT!"

It seems everyone has been hitting the crystal, and he keeps having to clean it up and replace it. That's why it's taking some time. A bit later it was my turn to register, and I see this guy has mana on his eyes to be able to asses registrars. This place is pretty thorough I guess. "Gather mana on your hand..." As I gather mana on my hand using mana around me the attendant stops and tells me "stop, stop. Wow you're the first of the Blessed to actually gather mana, that's great! Only you have to use your own mana or else the crystal ball can't analyze you, it'll analyze whatever mana is being used on it. Okay I have your stats here, wow aren't you a skilled one? Unlike the crude crystal over there this crystal completely analyzes your stats. I can display them up top, do a summary like the others automatically does with the crystal, or I can just keep it as guild information only."

"Guild information only please."

"I thought you'd say that, don't think I didn't see that you had mana surrounding you earlier. Okay well you only qualify for a rank 1, but as a novice we give you a service of giving you some skills. Usually we have to give Blessed a tutor to give them a skill as they don't know how to draw mana for some reason. Seeing as you do," he takes out three crystal balls. "put your hand on these and draw the mana out of these crystal balls one at a time into your mana pool."

Wow, so there is a way to get skills easily. I put my hand on the first one and draw the mana in quite easily. I repeat the process with each crystal ball and as I finish each I get a message that I acquired new skills.

"Great! Now you'll have to do some quests for the other ones. Do you need a run through on the guild and quests?"

"Yes please."

"Hey I need someone over to take over so I can show this newbie around!"

"I thought you called an attendant."

"There hasn't been such an interesting new member in a while I'll show you around myself."

"Ok, well then Chie I guess I'll see you later. Lead the way then sir."

"Okay bye big brother Chris."
