"Hello, young man."
Burke was seated behind a more distinguished desk, her chair also looking more comfortable, then the one she used to occupy a few days ago.
She had her own office on the First Floor, and her job was a more specialized version of the receptionist's duties.
High-profile cases went to her, and she approved. She also dealt with top-class Adventurers who couldn't bother standing in front of an ordinary reception.
Based on her ten-year experience, it was sothing she could do pretty easily—and she did her job flawlessly well.
She enjoyed it too.
Burke had her own space, and since she wasn't as busy as before, she had more than enough ti to think.
"Hello. May I have a seat?"
"Please do." Burke smiled, her eyes gleaming behind her glasses as she saw the handso blonde walk towards her.
He had a serious look on his good-looking face, and Burke couldn't help but fawn over all of his manly features.
Jet was a lot more good-looking, just going off her mory of him, but this blonde was incredible in his own right.
"My na is Sebas. I'm to take the Heroic Rank Test, so I was told to et you to sort out my details."
"Oh? This is quite the season." Burke chuckled in pleasant surprise as she opened her drawer to bring out a form. "Have you gone through initial registration already?"
"Not yet. The person attending to said I can do everything here."
"Yeah… I suppose."
Burke brought out a few more papers and placed them on her desk.
"Fill these." She said with a broad smile plastered on her face while keeping her gaze on him.
Not long after, the Sebas fellow obeyed and gradually did so. One look at his pristine handwriting told her that he was a distinguished fellow.
She didn't realize it when she licked her lips.
"So… a Heroic Rank Adventurer, huh?" Burke said with a relaxed grin. "Any reason why you want to go so far so quickly?"
"Well, I am not the only one who has done this, right?"
As Sebas asked, she slowly shook her head. "But only one man has been able to succeed on his first ever Test."
"Well… I look up to that man."
Sebas' determined face and dreamy smile caused Burke's heart to skip a beat. She found herself grinning a little stupidly as she nodded.
"That's not a bad thing. Jet is a pretty admirable man…"
After all, if it wasn't for the epiphany she received after her encounter with him, she wouldn't have had the courage to seek out more.
The reason she remained as a base receptionist was to et as many n as possible in her line of work. However, after realizing that she was just wasting her ti, and the man she t weren't the ones she desired—neither were they the ones who desired her—she chose to change.
'I don't et as many people in this position, but that's a good thing.'
She could filter out all the useless n from her life, hence making more ti for the n who were truly decent candidates—like the one in front of her.
And because she now had a position of authority, they wouldn't be able to look down on her.
"Indeed. I heard you were the one who filled out his form. Also Lady Lux's." Sebas said with a nod.
"Yeah. It was a morable last mont in my previous work station."
"If you don't mind, while I fill this form, could you tell more about Sir Jet?" He asked.
The man really had a brilliant gleam in his beautiful eyes. How could she refuse him when he spoke to her like that?
"Well, what do you want to know?" A broader smile appeared on her face. "Besides, since you want to take to take the Heroic Rank Test, you plan on passing, right?"
"Of course."
"Then wouldn't it be better to ask him yourself, once you beco a Heroic Rank Adventurer?"
Sebas looked a bit shy once she ntioned that, so she instantly knew what was going on.
'You want to know more about your hero before eting him, huh? What an adorable man…' He was just her type.
"Well, where to start." Burke grinned, interlocking both fingers as she parted her lips.
"Jet is…"
*********
A lot of irrelevant information was added to the mix, but Adonis pretty much got the gist of things.
'This woman doesn't really know anything.'
It seed like he had wasted most of his ti learning things that were unnecessary, or irrelevant in his investigation of the two evils that threatened the city.
'The only useful thing I got was their appearance, but I could have gotten it from anywhere.'
The girl seed pretty identical, for the most part, but the man was completely different from the descriptions of Jet from his past life.
'He has a pale skin and handso face this ti? In the past he had a horrible scar on his face, with a nacing aura.'
Their attires were also different—and this applied to Lux as well.
'He's dressed as a gentleman now, but he was more like a Dark Mage back then. As for the girl, while her appearance and attire's design was mostly the sa, she was dressed in all-
black as well.
—Sa as Jet.
'Maybe they're different Dragons this ti. It would explain why they're early an look different.'
But what could have sparked such a change? If Adonis had to guess, it would be the appearance and death of the Dragon Commander in the Capital.
The Alliance was still yet to face the consequences of doing such a thing, so Adonis had assud that the Dragons were unaware of such a thing happening.
But now… he wasn't so sure.
'The effects have begun to ripple, huh?' He thought to himself as he finally finished writing on all his Forms.
'What a ss.'
