"Shana, this is for you."
Under Shana's surprised gaze, Roxy took out five Asura gold coins from her storage scroll and handed them to Shana.
"From now on, you'll have to walk your own path. Dan Feng and I will be returning to Millishion afterward. If you ever need anything, you can come find us on the Millis Continent." Roxy instructed Shana.
Because Shana had now successfully graduated, having learned everything she could, she was already capable of becoming a qualified adventurer and surviving on her own.
"Mm! Don't worry, Roxy-sensei! I'll live well from now on. Thank you." Shana's eyes began to moisten. After all, aside from her parents, it seemed no one in her memory had ever treated her this well.
She clenched the five gold coins in her hand and silently made up her mind—she would definitely become someone famous in this world! And then repay Roxy and the others.
"Mm, this is for you." Dan Feng said softly. At the same time, a powerful energy gathered in his hand.
A golden Dragon Spirit mark gradually appeared in his palm, emitting a dazzling light.
This Dragon Spirit slowly floated into Shana's body, but it did not cause any visible phenomenon. It simply merged in.
"Eh? Dan Feng-sensei, what is this?" Shana asked in confusion as she looked at her unchanged body.
"It can help you in times of crisis." Dan Feng did not say much more. Otherwise, he was afraid Shana might rely on having the Dragon Spirit and recklessly go adventuring without regard for her own safety.
Shana nodded, half-understanding.
"Alright, Shana, come back to Ars with us first. After that, we'll take you to the Shirone Kingdom. There aren't any requests worth taking in the Asura Kingdom." After Roxy finished speaking, she pulled Dan Feng and walked toward Ars.
Because of the Thundercloud Accumulation earlier, the path they were walking on was now somewhat slippery.
So Dan Feng tightly held Roxy's hand to prevent her from slipping and getting hurt.
When they returned, they immediately found Bloody Kant and told her they were leaving.
"I see. Got it." Bloody Kant nodded indifferently. After experiencing so many partings, she no longer felt much about it.
While Bloody Kant wasn't paying attention, Dan Feng quietly sent the Dragon Spirit into her body. This way, he could avoid her becoming curious about the Dragon Spirit.
Afterward, they began packing their things, preparing to leave the royal capital Ars.
During this time, Roxy bought Shana enough clothes to get through the Red Dragon's Upper Jaw, and only then did they leave Ars together in a carriage.
This trip had been quite smooth for Dan Feng and Roxy. They had killed a Human God apostle and gained a disciple.
...
"Alright, we're leaving now. When you take on requests, you must be careful. Your own safety comes first in everything." Roxy instructed Shana at the city gate of the Shirone Kingdom.
Because she and Dan Feng were about to return, Shana would be left alone here, so she wanted her to take care of herself.
Shana nodded seriously. The ears on her head wiggled happily. This period had been the happiest time she had experienced since her parents passed away.
Roxy's gentleness, seriousness, and cuteness, and Dan Feng's coldness, strength, and delicious cooking—these scenes were deeply imprinted in Shana's mind. She might never forget them for the rest of her life.
So she nodded vigorously. "Mm! I understand!"
Just like that, Roxy and Dan Feng left the Shirone Kingdom.
Only Shana was left standing alone at the city gate, staring blankly at their figures gradually walking farther away.
It was only after she could no longer see their figures that Shana came back to her senses.
Shana took a deep breath and silently cheered herself on in her heart.
Although she felt a little nervous inside, she still resolutely took a step forward and entered this completely unfamiliar city.
However, unlike before, this time she did not walk with her head lowered as usual. Instead, she held her head high and looked straight ahead at the crowd.
Perhaps this was the change in mindset brought about by learning a full set of magic.
The once inferior and timid her had gradually faded away. Now standing here was a confident Shana who would never feel inferior again.
Following what Roxy and the others had said earlier, Shana first went to the Adventurer's Guild to register as an adventurer.
So she began searching the streets of the Shirone Kingdom for the Adventurer's Guild.
After some effort, Shana finally spotted the Adventurer's Guild on the side of the street. The Adventurer's Guild here was much livelier than the one in Ars.
When Shana appeared at the Adventurer's Guild with her pair of fluffy wolf ears, she instantly became the center of attention.
Some of the adventurers present cast curious glances at her, drawn by her outstanding appearance.
In the Shirone Kingdom, beast races were not rare, but Shana's looks were particularly eye-catching.
Among a group of burly, rough adventurers, she stood out like a fresh and refined flower.
Shana stood in the hall of the Adventurer's Guild, her heart full of curiosity.
Her gaze wandered around, observing the surroundings. Everyone here seemed very busy—some were selecting requests, others were chatting in their seats.
Suddenly, her line of sight was drawn to the counter at the front of the Adventurer's Guild. Shana's eyes lit up. She knew this was the place she was looking for.
Without hesitation, she quickly walked toward the counter, her steps very fast.
When she reached the counter, she stopped and gazed at the staff member with her large ice-blue eyes, a hint of cuteness showing in her expression.
"Hello!" Shana's voice was clear and bright. "I want to become an adventurer!"
The staff member was captivated by Shana's cute appearance and couldn't help but smile as she replied, "Hello there, little miss! If you want to become an adventurer, you'll need to fill out this form first." As she spoke, the staff member took out a piece of paper from the drawer and gently placed it in front of Shana.
Shana took the form and carefully read through it.
The content on the form was simple—mainly basic information such as name, race, age, and occupation.
Shana picked up the quill beside her and began filling it out seriously.
Although her handwriting was still a bit childish and not very neat, it was at least legible.
She wrote her name stroke by stroke: 'Shana Dedoldia'.
Then, in the race column, she wrote 'Dedoldia race'. This was what her father had told her, and she had remembered it firmly.
Her age was '14'.
Finally, in the occupation column, she unhesitatingly wrote 'Magician', because this was currently what she was most proud of.
After filling it out, Shana handed the form back to the staff member and successfully received her own adventurer card, which now marked her as an F-rank adventurer.
This meant she was now an adventurer as well.
"Wow~" Shana looked at the adventurer card in her hand, which displayed her information. She found it very novel.
