Reading the emergency quest, Shiro realised that this was also perfect for Lisandra since that means she could experience what it was like to fight B ranked monsters more often.

"Say, what do you think of continuing your training but with B ranked monsters." Shiro asked with a smile.

"Sure. I feel like we should do this regardless since it might complicate your completion of the celestial trials mum." Lisandra nodded her head. Walking over to the queue by the receptionist, Shiro waited patiently until it was her turn.

"How can I help you?" The receptionist asked with a smile.

"Ah I would like to register for a guild ID as well as see if I'm able to participate in the emergency quest." Shiro requested since she was currently disguised as Nytri. Plus, if she was to get another ID, it would be handy for her.

"You don't have an ID?" The receptionist raised her eyebrows in suspicion since one would get an ID quite early on.

"Yeah you see, my family was quite reclusive so we don't go out much. I was only allowed to go out once I hit level 100 so I'm here to get an ID." Shiro replied, making up an excuse.

"Hm… alright. Follow me to the registration room and I'll see if you've been registered before."

Nodding her head, Shiro followed behind her.

She wasn't afraid since she could just tamper with the system if needs be.

"Just put your hands on the orb and I'll see if there are any records." The receptionist said as she looked at her laptop.

Following her instructions, Shiro made sure to have some of her nanobots invade the laptop and fiddle with the database.

"Hmm… that's strange… no records." The woman frowned.

"Can you put your hand on the orb as well please." She said, turning to Lisandra.

Nodding her head, Lisandra also put her hand on the orb only for the same results to appear.

"Hmm… this is abnormal. Give me a second, I'll go talk to the guild master." The receptionist excused herself and left the room.

After waiting a while, Shiro saw that she had returned with another woman.

She wore a business suit, tied up black hair that was in a pony tail along with a pair of black framed glasses. Her expression was stern and serious as it would normally intimidate adventurers that see her but it didn't faze Shiro nor Lisandra.

"I'm Sugita Hitomi, branch master of this guild. Since you two have no records, I'll have to make some for you now and I may need to ask you some personal questions is that ok?" Hitomi asked while adjusting her glasses slightly.

"That would be fine. Though due to the nature of our family, I may have to withhold some information." Shiro replied with a smile.

"That's fine. I've dealt with my fair share of reclusive families." Hitomi nodded and led them to another room.

Sitting down behind her desk, she gestured for the duo to sit down as well.

Asking them a few questions, Hitomi tapped away on her laptop.

"Alright, I've made a file on each of you. Your ID's will be printed soon and while we're at it, I might as well help you conduct the test to see if you can join in the quest." Hitomi said while glancing at the printer by the side.

"What kind of test is it?" Shiro asked curiously.

"Oh it's simple. Think of it as an intense game of tag against a B ranked adventurers through an obstacle course. To win, you must outmanoeuvre the adventurers or defeat them in combat. Since there's a high chance of having multiple monsters chasing after you, you'll have to face a few B ranked adventurers. Is that ok?" Hitomi explained.

"Yeah that's fine. Since we're going to be partied together, are we able to take the test together?" Shiro asked.

"Sure but that will mean double the amount of B classed adventurers." Hitomi replied.

"That's fine."

"Ok, follow me. We'll get your test set up now after the current members finish theirs."

Following behind Hitomi, Shiro saw that they were brought to an underground area. Currently, they were in a hallway with glass on the side.

Looking through the glass, Shiro could see the entire course with several adventurers chasing after each other.

The overall area was huge and Shiro suspected that they could fit a mini town in this space. With a variety of obstacles ranging from huge boulders to cliffs and trees, it was as if there was a miniature world underneath the guild itself.

Surprisingly, despite their spells flying around, none of the scenery seemed to be damaged.

"Hologram I suppose?" Shiro asked with a smile.

"Correct. We have platforms randomly generated and a scenery hologram placed over the top of it. That way, it's easier to simulate the real life situations." Hitomi replied.

Scanning her ID card, she brought them down to the base of the course and waited by the side.

"Ah guild master, what brings you here?" One of the staff jogged over and bowed in respect.

"I'm bringing two people to take the test. I just sorted out their ID so I thought that it would be more efficient to get their test done while they're here."

"Ah of course. The current test is almost over so they can be next." The staff nodded and showed them to the side where they were given a set of armour.

"This here is a specially crafted armour that would send you out of the arena once you take a certain amount of damage. Once that happens, you would have failed the test. There is a barrier fitted onto the armour so you don't have to worry about feeling the damage directly."

Looking at the armour that seemed to be a little clunky, Shiro wondered if she should use her analysis skill to check its core components and see how it's made. After all, if she could figure out how they teleported the people out, she may be able to make some teleport amulets for her party members.

Putting on the armour, both Shiro and Lisandra waited patiently by the side while the Guild Master watched from a separate room. Normally, she wouldn't trouble herself with something like this but due to the nature behind Shiro's 'identity', she had to make sure that they overlooked everything personally.

Soon, it was their turn as the two of them were teleported into the arena.

The adventurers that are supposed to chase them were a little surprised at the fact that it was two level 100s.

"Eh? These two want to try to get the quest?" One of them frowned in concern.

"Seems so. Must be the orange grade equipment that got them excited." Another sighed.

"Since that's the case, we should finish this quickly. There are chances for equipment later but no second chances in life."

"Agreed."

Coming to a general understanding, the chasers stretched their bodies as they made sure that they catch these two.

However, they had no idea that Shiro had something else planned. While she didn't want to show too much of her strength, this was a perfect opportunity to test out the Takemikazuchi Sword Technique.

"Lisa, hold back a little but do try to send them out of the arena." Shiro said with a smile.

"That's my plan. Though in fairness, it should be me that tells you that since your 'holding back' is still quite lethal you know?" Lisandra chuckled since Shiro hadn't gone 100% yet.

She knew that Shiro had quite a few berserk skills, items and weapons that she could use but chooses not since there hasn't been a situation where she needed to.

Even during the war in Miriel, she hadn't shown her true power with the Nanomancer class or else the city would be littered with craters and destroyed buildings. Hell, she hadn't even seen Shiro use her mech armours again yet since she remembered seeing the Zephyr Armour back in the trial where she had first met Shiro.

Only when she used her armour could Lisandra be more than 50% sure that Shiro's gone full power.

"Well you should always have hidden trump cards. They're only good if no one knows about them, regardless of how powerful they are. After all, if saved till the last moment, it may even save your life one day." Shiro chuckled.

Making herself two ice daggers, she gave Lisandra a thumbs up before jumping into the rift.

"So assassination it is." Lisandra muttered since this meant that Shiro was giving her a chance to stand her ground and see how she does against B ranked adventurers.

Bringing out her longsword, she took a deep breath before flickering away from her location.
