Walking to the counter with the Examiner, I am greeted by another person who says, "Hey, Failure, what the fuck are you doing? The secondary test is over he--"
The examiner immediately interrupts him saying, "Quiet Carlos, he's getting his silver ID he's not a failure," He grins widely, "He's one of our new monsters, Aint that right William?"
the aforementioned Carlos, seems like he turned to stone as he's frozen. I guess Carlos.exe has crashed and needs a reboot.
Looking confused I ask, "Eh? Silver ID? What's that? and, uh, I didn't catch your name Mr-"
"The name is Gondo, and none of that mr. crap we're all comrades here!"
He proceeds to jump up on a table and shout, "Hey listen here bitches, We got a silver starter mercenary! First in 6 years! So, pay attention and let's start the party!"
"CHEERS!"
I have no idea why it's such a big deal that I won against this guy, and I have no idea what a silver start member is. So I just ask.
"Hey, Gondo, What's up with the party?"
Gondo looks at me Weirdly. "Usually we humble our new guys by making them face a silver-class Mercenary and make em eat dirt, but you beat my ass. Which makes you equal or better than me. So you start off with the same rank as me. Making you a Silver start. Which means this branch gets a bonus for finding you. Which means free appa-brueberry mead, and therefore."
He waves his hand I get said mead shoved into my hand along with a pouch of 50 silver. "Party."
He grins, and I grin back, "Party it is!"
I take a slow sip, and it tastes great. like apples a blueberies, but seeing as I'm in re:zero, names of fruit are different.

That skill is redundant and i feel like i'm going to hide it.
I guess It's time to celebrate.

the next day, I wake up in the room I bought for 30 days, which ended up knocking me out for 6 of my fifty silver. Good pricing, I guess. 1 Copper seems to be about one dollar. I ended up spending around 20$ a night, which is really cheap in my opinion. But seeing as this place is pretty small. I don't see why it wouldn't be cheap.
I look around the room that i'll be staying at for the next month and wonder if I can get strong enough to survive this insane world.
I sit down at the provided desk, and realize there's no paper, and that paper is more expensive than a room. So, I won't be able to write down what I know about this world. Nobody here knows english except for me and other people from beyond the waterfall, AKA another dimension. So, it'll be a good unintentional cypher.
I then wonder why I can understand the writing here, thinking clearly, it's probably a quirk of the system.
[Confirmed, Language comprehension is standard.]
God, that's still freaking unnerving.

Exiting my cramped room, I go downstairs and immediately check the Job board.
-Continuous culling of Mabeast wolves in the territory of Roswal A. Mathers. This job will repeat for 6 months or until the Mabeasts in the forest are eliminated. Possible bodyguard position as secondary objective if handled well.-
Silver and above.
WARNING: May be unreputable due to half-elf being employer.
That, sir, is what I call an opportunity.
I can probably get in as a bodyguard for Emelia, and get in that way. In that case, I will be able to Help with Canon, when it starts, while getting to know the main characters. I don't like subaru, and I really like Rem, I wonder if she will be willing to ditch Subaru if I get to her first.
I take the pamphlet Along with another pamphlet for a caravan guarding job towards the Roswal Estate.
