Chapter 388 Mercenary Guild
At noon that day, Goblin Billy brought three people to Taste Bud Storm, a well-known specialty restaurant in Element Soul, which mainly serves spicy dishes.
After finishing their meal, Lilith-Meg took Jia Na and Gavin-Tuer to the local Mercenary Guild, where they registered for the Transformation Trial of Andrew-Gamp and the Wizard Invention assessment, under the recommendation of White Coral Academy.
"Do you have this year's participant roster?"
"Not yet, Miss. If you wish to pre-order, you can pay a deposit first. In about two natural days, we can deliver the list of all participants for this session to your residence."
Hearing that Lilith-Meg wanted to purchase the participant roster, the slightly chubby girl at the front desk, who was helping Gavin-Tuer input registration information, immediately straightened up and enthusiastically introduced this year's ordering process to Lilith-Meg.
"Okay, then please pre-order the participant rosters for the Transformation Trial and Wizard Invention for me."
"Alright, Miss, that will be forty silver suler in total—this is your order receipt, please keep it safe."
After swiftly collecting the money and issuing the receipt, the slightly chubby girl at the front desk continued to input Gavin-Tuer's registration information.
After a moment, she turned her head and smiled at Jia Na, who was wearing a large Wizard hood.
"Miss, please give me your paper registration form, thank you."
"Okay."
Hearing the slightly chubby girl's words, Jia Na handed over the already filled-out registration form she held.
"Your name is—Jia Na-Luo Lan?"
Looking at the name on the paper registration form, the slightly chubby girl at the front desk was momentarily stunned. Then, as if realizing a possibility, her gaze immediately shifted to the address field on the form.
It really is Turin Wizard Gathering Place!
“Whoosh—”
She took a deep breath, then quickly exhaled. Joanna, forcefully suppressing her inner emotions, continued to input information with her hands, but her gaze constantly darted towards Jia Na.
"It seems she's recognized you, superstar."
Listening to Gavin-Tuer's teasing, Jia Na, whose face was still hidden beneath her hood, merely smiled indifferently and did not respond.
"Both of your registration details have been entered—"
"Mm, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing Joanna's words, Lilith-Meg nodded, then turned and walked towards the Mercenary Guild's main entrance with Jia Na.
"Please wait a moment—"
Just as the three of them reached the Mercenary Guild's entrance, Joanna, as if having made a decision, rushed out from the front desk, jogged to stand in front of Jia Na and the others, and handed each of them a colorful printed flyer.
"These are exclusive flyers printed by the Mercenary Guild specifically for this joint professional trial. I brought them to give to you all."
Although Joanna said she was giving them to the three of them, her gaze remained fixed on Jia Na the entire time, without moving an inch.
"Thank you, Joanna."
After taking the flyer, Jia Na also smiled and thanked her. And Joanna, whose name was called directly by Jia Na, felt her already flushed face turn even redder, all the way to her ears.
"You—you know my name?"
"Your name tag told me."
"Ah—..."
Hearing Jia Na's words, Joanna's face turned even redder, as if it could drip water.
Ultimately, her emotions overcame her reason. Disregarding the strange looks from her other colleagues at the Mercenary Guild, she directly took out an exquisitely designed notebook and a quill pen, lowered her voice, and looked at Jia Na with a nearly pleading gaze.
"If it's allowed, could I trouble you—"
"No problem."
Before Joanna could finish speaking, Jia Na, who had already seen through her intentions, directly took the notebook and quill pen from her hand and swiftly signed her name on the first page of the cover.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Looking at the beautiful and neat handwriting in the notebook, Joanna's hands trembled slightly as she took it, and even her voice became hoarse as she thanked her.
"You're welcome."
After handing the quill back to her, Jia Na continued walking towards the Mercenary Guild's main entrance. It wasn't until she reached the doorway that Jia Na saw Lilith-Meg and Gavin-Tuer still waiting quietly for her at the entrance.
"Sorry, Professor, I was delayed a bit just now."
"It's fine. This sort of thing will only become more frequent from now on."
Hearing Lilith-Meg's words, Jia Na quickly realized what she meant.
This year's professional trial is expected to officially begin this Wednesday, which is four days from now, at the Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place. Before it starts, all registered trial participants' information will be publicly released in the form of a roster.
As the most popular opera actress in the past two years, news of Jia Na participating in the Transformation Trial will undoubtedly spread rapidly. By then, even if Jia Na wanted to keep a low profile, she wouldn't be able to.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap—"
While they were still chatting, Goblin Billy drove the carriage towards the Mercenary Guild's entrance, and in a short while, it stopped steadily in front of the three of them.
"Let's go. We still have a lot to do in the coming days."
With that, Lilith-Meg elegantly lifted her skirt and was the first to board the carriage. Jia Na, who was about to follow Lilith-Meg into the carriage, was gently tugged by the hem of her clothes by Gavin-Tuer behind her.
"Jia Na, did you see the content on the flyer just now?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
After boarding the carriage with Gavin-Tuer, Jia Na also curiously picked up the flyer in her hand and began to read it.
"Is there something wrong with this flyer?"
After roughly scanning the content of the flyer and not finding anything amiss, Jia Na looked up, a puzzled expression on her face, at Gavin-Tuer.
"Look at the back—this trial assessment will be held at the outdoor gladiator arena in the city center!"
Outdoor gladiator arena?
Hearing Gavin-Tuer's words, Jia Na indeed saw the location of the trial assessment at the very bottom of the back of the flyer.
"You even have to buy tickets to watch?"
According to the flyer, this professional trial, aimed at Wizard Apprentices, would not only be held at Element Soul's largest outdoor gladiator arena but would also offer live viewing access to non-participants.
The way to gain access was to purchase an entry ticket for five silver suler at the Mercenary Guild to enter the gladiator arena and watch live...
