^Can I eat cooked monster flesh?^ Arad asked while walking toward the guild with Aella.
[It's more efficient to eat raw at.]
^Cooked is better.^
[Humanoid cook at to clean it from diseases. They exchange safety for nutritious quality.] Mom replied, [You might need to eat 50% More if you cooked your at.]
^Can I store food in my stomach?^
[You're mother used to do that. But be careful. You can overhunt a forest.]
^What dragons are there? Are void dragons strong in comparison?^
[Void dragons are the strongest of the magic dragons, Reds are the strongest of the chromatic, and Golds are the strongest of the tallic dragons. But combat depends on more things than just race.]
"Arad, we reached the guild!" Aella said with a smile, "We can go hunt monsters."
[She's oddly energetic.]
^Is that a problem?^
[She might be dealing with so things, so keep an eye on her.^
Aella gently pushed the giant wooden door open, and all the adventurers stared at her. People usually kick the poor door.
Everyone imdiately started whispering, "An elf?"
"How co? They rarely visit human cities."
"Co on, we like them, and they like us."
"But it's strange. We had a skirmish against the elves lately. I thought they would be a bit angry."
"Is she an adventurer?"
But as they spoke, Aella spun around, waving her arm, "Arad, why are you waiting? Co in."
Everyone stopped talking, their faces shited to the back, glaring at Arad. It was the newbie's doing. The monster brought sothing unusual.
Nina waved at them from behind the counter. "Arad, co here!"
The two walked across the guild hall, ignoring everyone. Aella didn't seem bothered as she kept her smile, but Arad was nervous.
[She keeps that energetic attitude. I have a bad feeling about that.]
^Mom, aren't you getting a bit too worried?^
[I was a part of your mother once, don't underestimate the instincts she had. The girl has no malicious intents, but I know she will be a problem to deal with.]
Arad took that into mind. He faced Nina, "Can you register Aella?"
After a series of questions about how Aella fights, Nina finally registered her as an E-rank adventurer like Arad. The reason for that was her stats.

Unlike Arad, who is just level one, she is level twelve and has the strength of a high C-rank adventurer.
"Thank you, I will treasure it a lot," Aella said, grabbing her guild card with two hands and a smile.
Before the two could start talking and wasting ti, Arad interrupted them. "We should take a quest. Let's go, Aella." He stood and walked toward the quest board.
E-rank quests, He can finally start hunting monsters which grant him enough exp to level up.
^Mom, what should we take? Is there anyone who can help
level faster?^
[You can level up your humanoid power, but as a void dragon, you need to cultivate your power. Dragons grow stronger the older we get, aning our bodies cultivate naturally. But we can accelerate it manually, as not every dragon can wait a thousand years to beco strong.]
^Can you explain it in detail?^
[You will know when the ti cos. Now focus on eating.]
Arad looked at the board to read the quests but soon changed his expression.

Arad turned back, "Magic punching back."
Several adventurers, even high-ranked ones, turned away and started whistling.
"Hmmm." Glaring at them, "Temporary exchange." A bunch of female adventurers turned the other way, and every other adventurer glared at them.
Aella approached Arad, "Do you want to take those two? What do they say?" She said, smiling. She glared at the papers, "I can't read human language."
[You can naturally understand and speak all languages. But can only read and write human and draconic. This is a gift from your mother's consciousness.]
"No, we're killing giant toads," Arad replied. "Those quests pay nice, but they are awful,"
Then an adventurer opened his mouth, "Co on, Arad, let her take the Temporary exchange quest. I bet she doesn't mind."
Hearing that, Arad slowly turned his head and lifted his palm. KA-DON! His palm burst into fla as he glared at the adventurer, "I will burn you alive." Arad wasn't serious, and neither was the adventurer, everyone knew it was a joke, but sothing happened.
As the adventurer stared at Arad's eyes, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his chest. He started sweating, and his knees shook. As if glared down by a predator, he stepped away.
"Are you all right?" His friend asked.
"Yeah." The adventurer said, confused, "For a mont, I got a strange feeling staring into his eyes."
His friend stared at him, disgusted, "I thought we two like the elf girl, you bastard are going for the guy?" They started bickering like two old geezers.
Arad picked up the quest and approached Nina's desk, "Register
this one," He said with a smile.
"You still have the rabit quest registered. Want to keep it up?" Nina asked with an angry smile.
Arad panicked montarily, "Sorry, I forgot about it." Aella stared at him, confused, "Did she an rabbits?"
Thud! Nina grabbed Arad by the head, "Thank Amber later, and never register more than one quest at a ti."
