Chapter 37: [Date!]

"Ummmm… Mr Adam. By any chance… you didn\'t forge your ID, right?" she looked at me with a doubtful look, contemplating about me. Well, forging is a big crime, so I could understand why she would behave like that.

"Well. I was going to reevaluate myself today. I kind of happen to run in a bunch of miraculous experiences that got me through my breakthrough. Though, may I ask how you found that out?" I asked her in a simple manner.

The only reason that she asked that question was probably because she could see my mana. So finding such a low mana on the adventurer\'s ID, it was common to think that I might have forged the ID.

"Ah! That is because I can see mana spirits. It\'s a Unique Talent, I have," Evelyn said as she looked at me with a relieved expression. Though I was genuinely surprised by hearing of her talent.

Mana spirits, or the spirits that are attracted to mana. They are a rare species that allows one to gauge the mana of a person along with the affinity. The Mana Crystal is also based on the same principle. It can gauge the amount of mana spirits one has.

\'But to see the mana spirits through their own two eyes,\' I observed her before curiously asking," So. What do you see, Miss Evelyn? How many spirits do I have?"

"Wait a second," she spoke as she bent down the desk and began taking out the crystal ball. Placing it on the table, she then looked at me as she answered the question," Thousands of spirits… it\'s hard to see your face through them. And not just one element… but perhaps all of them. I could see some colors that I haven\'t seen before."

She was smiling as she added," Please place your hand on the mana crystal."

I nodded as I looked at the number popping out.

6184

"Now it matches with what I see," she smiled in relief before signaling me with her finger to bend closer. I bent closer to her above the desk, and she did too before whispering," you are a light mage, aren\'t you? Their numbers are the most among the ones that I see."

I winked at her before keeping my index finger on my lips," Could you keep it a secret? I am here for a bit of a vacation."

"I understand. But what do I get from it?" she smiled as she moved back before putting the magic crystal back where she picked it from. Her eyes were kind of mischievous right now.

"How about I buy you dinner tonight? Will that be fine?" I asked, wondering if she was hinting for a date.

"Eh? Aren\'t you trying to move too fast?" She spoke as she changed the information on my ID. Though before I could speak anything she continued," but. Oh well. It\'s not like I have anything to do tonight. I will let you have it your way."

\'Sigh…. I could never understand girls,\' I shook my head with an awkward smile before nodding. I then pondered before asking,

"Can I book a room for 15 days?"

She passed on the adventurer\'s ID, before giving me a note with the location and time written on it.

[Adventurer: Adam

Grade: E

Power Level: 6184

Affinity: All!]

She even increased my Grade, huh?

"Will the room be normal, deluxe or luxury?" She asked as she took out another notebook. She looked at my face before explaining,

"Normal room is a basic room with a single bed and a study table. There is also a small bathroom attached to it. Price for 15 days would be 15 silver.

Deluxe is similar to normal, except for a better bed, better study table with bookshelf and a proper bath. Price for 15 days would be 30 silver.

Luxury has a king sized bed, a small library and a small pool with healing attributes. Price is 75 silver."

\'A Library, huh? I could use my time reading the history of this area after using the [Save Point]. Not like it will take anytime,\' I thought before looking at Evelyn.

[Hagging!]

"For the deluxe room. Can\'t you lower the price a little for me, Evelyn?" I asked again.

"72 Silver… that\'s the max I can do," she spoke a bit embarrassed and I smiled before passing the gold coin to her. She looked at me with a surprised face before finishing the rest of the work.

"Here is the change. Would you like to have any added features in your room?" she asked me, passing a leaflet but I passed it back as I spoke," It\'s fine. I won\'t be using much of the room anyway."

She nodded before speaking," will that be all?"

Taking the key from her hands, I nodded. She smiled as she spoke," see you in the evening then. Don\'t make a lady wait, okay?"

I smiled before moving towards my allotted room. I guess it wasn\'t bad to get acquainted with a couple of people from the start. Being a receptionist, she must have a lot of insider information regarding this place too.

\'But first things first,\' I smiled as I moved to my room and directly went to sleep.

[Are you sure you want to overwrite the Save Point?]

[Save Point being overwritten!]
