Junta & Wizarding World
#20 Association
“Halo Queen Rana”
“Oh Junta”
Junta and Kou entered into the empty throne room wearing a long plain brown cloth, the cloth covered the body of Junta and Kou, more precisely covering the shoulders up to the ankles, they were standing a little far away from Ratu Rana because Ratu Rana was sitting on the throne and Hako was standing next to him while carrying some paper.
“It looks like today is a tiring day huh?”
“That's how it is, we are still in a state of war, so I have absolutely no time to break”
“I wish you the best Queen Rana, I came here not to bother you, I just want to say goodbye”
“So you guys really want to go? You can stay here?”
“That's how it is, me and Kou are travelers and a traveler never stays in one place in a long period of time”
Queen Rana let out a small sigh after hearing Junta's reply.
“Then, if you guys need help, just say it to ku”
“Thank you Queen Rana”
“Why don't you guys stay here in a few days? Is Kou really healed?”
Hako suddenly asked like that, and Kou answered the question by hugging Hako from behind.
“Oho! I'm glad Hako's understanding to me! But take it easy I've fully recovered Hako!”
Hako was surprised by the sudden embrace Kou made, the look on Hako's face looked like one who was shocked and scared at the same time.
“Kou, don't surprise people like that, come back here”
And in the blink of an eye, Kou was already standing again beside his older brother.
“Then, we have to resign first, see you again Queen Rana”
“Hopefully good luck with you guys, I want to give you some money to help you guys on your way.. But sorry, the kingdom is currently still in a bad condition”
“No need to do that Ratu Rana, the most important thing is Ratu Rana still remember the deal we made”
“Of course, just let me know when you guys want to charge that promise”
The junta nodded after hearing Queen Rana's words and turned towards the door of the throne room.
“Junta!”
Hako's cries stopped the Junta and Kou's move.
“Let's practice again if time allows us”
Junta simply turned his head back and smiled at Hako, after smiling at Hako, Junta again walked with Kou towards the door of the throne room, the door opened and they walked out onto the streets of the city.
“Did anyone bother you Hako?”
Hako's body trembled slightly, and it made Queen Rana curious.
“No problem Your Majesty, it's just.”
“It was because of Junta and Kou right?”
Hako was silent not answering.
“If the military chief of the kingdom recognizes their power, then it is clear Junta and Kou are not ordinary travelers”
“Yes.. Just this time I sensed Kou's speed with my own senses.. Compared to the speed of the junta when we trained a few days ago.. Kou is faster than Junta”
“Once, I dare bet that we will hear news about them in near” future
Hako just looked at the closed door of the throne room, her gaze as if she saw something far away like a daydreaming person.
On the other hand, Junta and Kou were walking on the hot city streets due to the scorching sun, the streets were still bustling like the beginning of Junta coming to this city, it was just that it seemed like the street was a little more crowded than usual, the sound of the wheels from the horse carriage and the sound of people filling the air so Junta and Kou had to shout a little if they wanted to talk to each other.
“So what are our plans Kou?”
“I want to browse the Association”
“Oh, you mean the organization you talked about last night?”
“Yes, after all we need a job, food here is not free Kaku”
An association is an organization that pays its members to kill the monsters that exist in this world, that is what Kou said last night while discussing with his Brother, they were planning to become members of the Association and earn money from there, Kou said that the information he had about this organization was still lacking, so today, it is, they planned to go to the Association and see if they could gather any information there.
“Actually I prefer to live in the palace and gather information on how we can return to the world we”
“Kou, staying in such a palace cannot help us get information about this world, it could be-”
“Yes yes I understand, Brother already explained it at length last night, no need to continue”
“Good if you already understand, our priority is to find a way to return to our home world, of course this will take time, while looking for a way, to return to our home world, we can dig more information about this world”
“Ya yes.. I understand the reason Brother, being in a world that we do not know at all is scary, indeed creepy, I do not have any information about this world because indeed from the beginning we do not intend to go here”
“And that is why we need to gather information while looking for a way to get out of here, I hope that nothing requires us to leave this world immediately.”
“Example?”
“Hmmm”
Junta closed his eyes while folding his hands together, he was seen thinking of something.
“Simple example like.. What if we become fugitives in this world?”
“Woah, if that happens our lives will definitely not calm down, it is enough we are worried about the existence of our parents' killers who could have found us and killed us whenever”
“To be precise, our parents' killers must be stronger, stronger than our parents', and our abilities are still not on par with those of father and mother, we must not forget the possibility that the killer could have come from another world, including this world”
“We're like paranoid people.. But Big Brother, even though the possibility is very small, but what if one day we find some information related to our parents' killer in this wrong world? Or even what if I met the killer here?”
“That moment was then, I had no plans whatsoever on this matter, because from the start, we were in the wrong world, he said, I'm sure you found the world you're talking about must be based on information about the murder of our parents, right?”
“Yes that's it, I discovered that world after gathering millions of information and I felt that our parents' killer was there”
“And now, we are instead in a different world to the world you want to go to..”.
“Ugh.. I'm sorry”
“It's okay, as long as we're together, we can go through anything, that's what our fathers always say right?”
Kou smiled hearing those words from his sister.
“Ah, I think we've reached”
In front of them, there was a building that was not too big, and not too small, it looked like an ordinary building with two doors that were not too big, just above the two doors of the building there is a large flower-shaped logo, Junta is not too sure whether it is a flower or not, but clearly the logo looks like a flower.
Not lingering any longer, Kou opened the door and went inside followed by the Junta, when they were already inside, the first atmosphere they got was the crowd, the crowd, there are a lot of people in here, they all wear different armors, they also carry different weapons, he said, they were all on average eating and drinking something at the table in the room, this building was honestly more like a low-class restaurant, because of the chairs and tables in this building, all made of wood with the usual design, interior design also seems ordinary, nothing fancy here.
After monitoring the surroundings at a glance, Kou walked towards a woman standing behind a long table, of course Junta followed Kou from behind, the distance between the woman and the entrance was actually not close enough because of the vastness of this building, but after passing through various very rowdy crowds, they arrived in front of the woman.
“What message do you want?”
The woman asked in a very friendly and cheerful tone.
“Ah.. Is it true this is an Association building?”
“True, can I help you?”
“My brother and I don't want to order food here, but we want to register to be members of Association”
“Oh, wait a minute ya”
The woman went into a room behind her, to be honest the door to the room was a little hidden so Junta was quite surprised when the woman opened something.
It didn't take long, the woman came back carrying a brown paper.
“Please fill out this form to become a member of Association”
Kou received the form with a bit of confusion.
“Can we bring this form?”
“Sure, give it to me if you guys have filled it”
The woman smiled after saying that, after Kou caught a glimpse of the contents of the form, Kou walked away from the woman.
“Better we sit there”
“Sister, I really don't understand this writing”
Kou showed the form to the Junta.
“Hm, after all from the beginning, I still don't understand why we can understand their language, and they also understand what we say”
They both remained silent in silence.
“Then what should we do? Go back to the palace and ask Queen Rana or Hako to help fill this?”
“Why Brother thinks about it.. I more think we should ask the lady's help earlier”
“Don't joke Kou, I think it's a bad idea, we have to create a good picture to the woman, I feel the woman holds an important role in this Association”
“Then how?”
Junta was silent thinking of a way, while thinking about how to fill out a form that he did not understand, he saw a yellow-haired woman who was walking with a meal, the woman looked confused, her red eyes looked around the building as if she was looking for something, she was wearing the same clothes as Junta, a plain cloth robe that covered her body, she said, it was just that the color of the woman's robe was black, after seeing the woman's motion, Junta looked around to see the situation and indeed most of the tables were already full, Junta felt that the woman was looking for an empty place to eat, Junta finally had an idea.
“Hey! You're a yellow haired man!”
Junta waved towards the woman, the woman looked a little confused before finally walking towards Junta and Kou.
“Do I know you?”
“Ah, I feel like you're looking for a place to eat? Why not sit here with us?”
“If you guys want to make a team with me, then I have to reject his”
“Oh no no! We do not intend to invite you to join us, we just ask for your help to fill this form”
The junta pointed towards the form Kou had placed on the table.
“Filling registration form?”
“Exactly, can you help us? After we fill out this form, we'll leave, so you can eat here in peace”
The yellow haired lady seemed to think for a moment, then she finally put her food on the table and sat down beside Kou, after sitting down, she took out a small black short stick.
“Your names?”
Junta and Kou looked at each other, and said.
“I'm Junta, and she is Kou”
The yellow haired lady then wrote something down on the form with a small stick she was holding.
“Your expertise?”
Junta and Kou stared at each other again.
“Sorry, but what does it mean?”
Kou started the conversation.
“Like support magic, close combat, long distance fight, destructive magic, or such, more precisely your fighting skills”
Junta and Kou stared at each other after hearing the woman's words.
“What part can not be filled?”
“Sweetly not”
“Ugh.. How is this Kou?”
“I never thought of this.. I'm also confused Brother.”
“Uh.. Why are you confused by your own fighting abilities?”
“Sadly I can't explain it to you, anyway why would the Association want to know this?”
“Of course as data, someday if there is a request that is quite difficult, then the Association will call people who feel suitable to complete the request”
“Request?”
Junta's question made the yellow-haired woman confused.
“What is this the first time you guys know the Association?”
Junta.
“I guessed it, your face does not look like people from this country or from countries I have visited, well I will explain quickly about the Association”
The yellow-haired woman cleared her throat before continuing.
“The simple association is the organization that pays its members to kill the monsters, the amount of pay and what monsters to kill can usually be seen on a notice board, like the one in sana”
The woman pointed to a large plank, it was made of wood, and it was right next to the reception desk, the table where the Junta had taken the form.
“On the board there are a lot of paper taped right? That's what we call Demu”
“So.. We need to determine for ourselves which request we will take?”
“To be exact, you can see the requests that exist then take one of them and give it to the woman”
The yellow haired woman pointed at the woman standing at the reception desk, the woman who gave Junta and Kou the registration form.
“Repsionists will take care of the rest, and after you show which request you will live, then you can immediately go finish that request”
“H.. Interesting, then.. Can we take 2 requests at once?”
“I never knew anyone took 2 requests at once. But in theory, of course you can”.
“Interesting, is there any other information we need to know?”
“Hmm.. Maybe you should know about Class”
“Class?”
“Although officially the Association does not give ratings to its members, but we here make our own rankings, Class is a ranking picture that reflects the strength of someone who is a member of Association”
“So yes.. Rating system”
The lowest “Class is 0 and the highest is 5, the higher your Class, then the greater the respect you will receive here, and also, the higher, usually the Association calls its members who have high Class to complete difficult requests, requests like this we usually refer to as Special Request”
“If judging from how you told us this, it means this Special Request is not on the notice board?”
“Of course there is, but the request is not put on such a notice board, to see the Special Request, you need to go to the upper floor of the Association building, that is where the Special Request is placed”
The junta looked around but he could not find the stairs leading to the 2nd floor.
“I don't see stairs around here”
“Of course, this is the Association branch building, the Association has many buildings placed in various cities, you have to come to the Association main building in the country in order to take Special Request”
“So.. I was more curious why no one took the Special Request even though the request had already been placed on the notice board.. Doesn't that mean Special Requests can be taken by anyone? Because the Association does not hide the request it”
“Of course because of the difficulty level, Special Requests are usually only taken by people who are already in Class 5, or, I've never found anyone from Class under 5 who took a Special Request.”
“Then this Class problem.. How can we know someone's Class?”
“You can see it from the necklace she wears”
The woman showed me a necklace she was wearing, it was a necklace consisting of 4 shiny black iron coins.
“Number of coins from this necklace describes Class from its user”
“Oh, then if we wear your necklace, does that mean we become Class 4?”
“Sure, but it is a stupid act, the higher your Class then the more dangerous your life is
“So yes.. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.. Then how can I get that necklace?”
“You can ask the Association, more precisely to the receptionist, although the Class is not an official rank, but the Association agrees to help in this matter, of course there are assessments that must be done before giving a class rating to someone”
“So far I understand, thanks for your explanation”
“I think it has already covered the basics, you guys will learn more as time goes by, by the way how do I fill this section?”
The junta, Kou, and the yellow-haired lady continued their discussion to fill out the registration form, many things that the Junta was confused about how to fill it up like a national origin, like, but somehow Junta and Kou manage to fill everything up without having to reveal their true identities which they are not from this world.
After completing the form, Junta gave it to the woman guarding the reception desk, the woman accepted it with pleasure and said that Junta and Kou could start taking requests the next day, before Junta and Kou left the Association building, Junta waved his hand to the yellow haired woman who had helped him earlier, the yellow haired woman looked at the Junta's wave and returned the wave with a smile.
