What's the meaning of this 'Item Potent' and 'Skill Potent'? I tried clicking to it to see if it show more information but nothing happened.

I sighed then yawned again.

I moved to the bed and lied down, deciding to sleep again I turned sideways then let sleepiness take over me.

I woke up as the moonlight gently illuminated at my face. I sat up and tried adjusting my eyes from the darkness. I saw a silhouette of a person sitting in the corner with the same pose I did earlier when I was sitting on the same spot. That person was looking at the moon solemnly through the window.

I don't need any light to know who it was. Her pale face reflected the moonlight which makes her face...ghostly. Staring at the moon with a mournful, grief-stricken expression. Her usual cool demeanor all but gone, a tear trickled down to her cheek.

Seeing her like that struck me with grief too. I slowly lay down, trying not to disturb her, I slept.

What happened to Nika in the past?

-

"You ready?" Nika asked as she peeked through the door. She let herself out as i wear my clothes, thanks to Nika's magic my clothes are now clean white, literally white. My brown pants that turned all red because of the blood is now white, with out a speck of red spot. We plan on going to adventurers guild and try to see if we can register. I was about to wear my shirt when..

"Oh? Nice body you have there." Nika raised her eyebrows as she said that. Her usual cool face is back, making the incident yesterday like nothing happened.

I shrug. "I do a lot of work back home." More like a slave in the orphanage.

As I wear my shirt, I followed Nika, she was still wearing her usual clothing. We went down to the lobby and surprisingly this time, there are some people sitting here and there, looking bored.

I looked at the reception and saw the receptionist putting the weapon he was doing yesterday on the wall, it was pretty heavy but looks like he lift it with ease despite his skinny body, oh maybe its for decoration and just made of plastic.

I walked towards him.

"Hey, want help with that?." I know silly question.

"Nah, i can do it my self, i'm stronger than I look. Okayyy, there." He rubbed his hands together as he finished putting the ax on the wall.

"So? What can I do?" He asked.

"We're going to have a look at the Adventurers Guild to try and sign up." I said. I pulled out the keys on our room from my pocked "So can I leave the key here?".

"Yeah sure." He reached out his hand and I gave him the key, he turned around and opened a small drawer that labeled as '14'.

"Thanks, uhhhh..." Did i get his name?

"Beastwood, Edison Beastwood." He reached out his hands again, I accepted it and we shook hands.

"Lore Valentine." I changed my name a little bit. We pulled our hands then he looked at Nika while raising his eyebrows.

"Nika." She also reached her hand then shook his. They stopped but didnt pulled both of their hand. Wait, Is Nika smirking!?.

"Anyway, I heard that yesterday really is the recruitment but unfortunately, they said, " he said as he pulled his hand then pointed at some people sitting in the lobby. "there were no promising recruits. That's why they look so bored."

"I was wondering why their faces are full of disappointment, so that's why." I said as I look again at the people in this lobby.

"But i'm pretty sure right now, monstrous people are gonna appear." Its fast but i saw him glanced at Nika.

"Really!?!" someone exclaimed, it was one of the people in the lobby. "Come on guys, let's go!" the same man shouted to the rest, and together they ran out the Inn excitedly.

"What just happened?" I asked, confused.

"I was known for my prediction." He shrugs, maybe that's one of his skills.

"Okay. So we're going. Nice talking with you," Me and Nika also went out the Inn.

*Guild Master POV*

"Now is the 2nd Day of the recruitment of this Guild. Sorry to say but yesterday there were no promising ones appeared so I hope that today we can recruit some."

This years recruitment is quite unusual, the first day is always the most exciting day and the most packed of audience but this time its different. Instead of promising ones, its full of disappointments. On previous recruitments, monstrous people always appear, the exams are so always heated with battle to the point that there are even accidental civilian casualties.

There are even times that those monstrous people are so strong that examiners, who are rank B-A arent enough, that I need to examine them myself. The recruits yesterday are mostly weaker than Rank F in terms of Ranks. All of them are just thugs and people who glorified themselves. If we speak about monstrous people that I examine myself, I have this person whom I hate and like at the same time. It was last years recruitment day, when it was his turn and was faced with a B rank examiner my first impression of him is nothing special, I just though of him as an ordinary guy that want to fulfill his dream to become an Adventurer.

But boy I was wrong. He named himself as Taps. The exam for him began quick, but it finished as quickly as the exam began. Another examiner replaces the previous unconscious examiner. He was the spotlight of the annual recruitment, he took 7 matches and all 7 matches it was one-sided, all his win. Without breaking a sweat, wearing a bored look, he dominated all his 7 fights. It was already obvious that he passed.
