Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

“Tet, is this place okay?”

“Yup!”

Akari followed Tet’s instructions as they walked through the forest.

They decided to follow the suggestion of the goddess and go to the human kingdom nearby.

The roads were rough because they weren’t developed, so it should have been a tough journey for an ordinary girl. However, it was a piece of cake for Akari thanks to the skills she got from the goddess.

They finally made it out of the forest after walking for a while.

A splendid meadow stretched in front of Akari and Tet.

The huge city rose in the horizon beyond the grassland, enclosed in towering walls.

The scenery was similar to the scenes of capitals Akari saw in her world’s anime and manga.

“Wow… It’s really Isekai-ish!”

In Akari’s world, there were also countries that had similar cities preserved from the Middle Ages, but since she hadn’t traveled abroad, the scenery of the city right before her eyes was foreign enough to make her feel that she was truly inside another world.

“Oh, come to think of it, I don’t have any identification papers with me…”

Akari used to sneakily read the light that her brother read before.

The protagonist that had been whisked away to another world had been first stopped by guards before setting foot into the capital.

“Guard-san… Oh.”

Akari strained to look at the gate that was part of the walls surrounding the city.

“...Yep, they are there, alright. “

The gate wasn’t so far that ordinary humans wouldn’t be able to spot the guards, but Akari took it to another level. She could clearly make out the expressions of the guards, and even the patterns on the armor they were wearing.

She had been unconsciously using her [Divine Vision] skill.

This <Divine Vision> could do anything related to the eyes, and that would be:

<Farsee>, the ability to see things distinctly at a great distance,

<Mind’s Eye>, the ability to read the thoughts of her opponents,

<X-ray Vision> the ability to see through and beyond any obstacle

<Clairvoyance>*, allowing her to see a bit into the future,

<Retrocognition>, the ability to see the things that occurred in the past

She could also use <Magic Eye> which could stop the time, albeit only for an instant.

By the way, Akari’s Magic Eye was a grade above that of Holy Knight Shin’s, so her lifespan wouldn’t be lessened whenever she stopped the time.

Moreover, she also possessed the subskills <Mesmerize>, which would put all those who looked into her eyes under her control, and <Intimidation> which forces them into a state of “terror”.

If a certain Sage didn’t exist in this world, Akari could already dominate the entire world just by using her <Divine Vision>.

“Tet, what to do?”

There were a lot of ways she could do to force her entry, such as stopping the time, or brainwashing the guards with her skill, but since she still hadn’t understood the magnitude of her skills, she was worried about the method she could use to enter the city.

“Akari will be fine, Akari has the skills Megami-sama gave.”

Teto prompted Akari.

“B-But, I don’t even know how to use these skills…”

“Akari, just wish for it.”

At present, she was already using <Farsee> subconsciously.

“If it doesn't work, then Tet will do something about it. Believe in Tet!”

“O-Okay…Then, let’s go?”

“Hm? Lassie, are you alone?”

One of the guards notice Akari when she approached them, and he called out to her.

“Y-Yes. I’m alone.”

Akari had never seen a soldier wearing a sword in her previous world.

She didn’t feel any fear thanks to her skill, but there was a trace of anxiety.

She hugged Tet a little tighter.

“I want to enter!”

“Yeah. Go ahead.”

“...Eh?”

Akari looked the guard straight in the eye and expressed her wish to enter the city, and it was granted.

Proof of identification wasn’t necessary for entry into the cities and towns of this kingdom in general. However, this place was no other than the Royal Capital, so originally, even the residents had to provide identification in order to enter and leave this city.

Akari, on the other hand, managed to enter without being checked.

She unwittingly activated <Mesmerize> because of her wish.

“Just call us if you run into any trouble while staying at the Royal Capital.”

“I-I understand. Thank you very much!”

The guard treated her sincerely under the influence of her mesmerizing skill, but because Akari wasn’t aware that she used that skill, she mistook his sincerity as kindness.

“Ahm…Can I ask you a question right away?”

“What is it? You can ask anything. By the way, I have a wife, so don’t tell me you want to date me.”

The guard then laughed heartily.

“Y-You’re mistaken! I want to apply for identification, can you please teach me how?”|

“Identification, huh… You can request for a Registered Resident Card if you’re going to live in the Royal Capital. But then, you’ll need to undergo a review and investigation if you’re going to live here for the first time — Lassie, where are your parents?”

“I-I don’t have…”

The goddess created a body in this world for Akari when she transmigrated here. It was different from Halt, who transmigrated into the body of the third son of a noble; she didn’t have any parents.

“It will be strict in that case.”

“Is there any other way aside from a Registered Resident Card? For example… a Guild Card, or something.”

“Well, you can also use guild cards as proof of identification to enter the Royal Capital, but… Lassie, how old are you?”

“I am 15 this year.”

Akari gave her age in her previous world since she didn’t have any idea how old she was in this world. Her body didn’t differ that much from her previous one even after her transmigration, so she decided to answer so.

“I see. Then, you can register at the guild. Ah, you can’t lie about your age, alright? They have magical tools to verify the authenticity over there.”

“Really?”

“Well, as long as you clear that, then the rest will be easy. Lassie, it might be better for you to register at a manufacturing guild.”

“Manufacturing…Are there any other guilds, like one for adventurers, perhaps?”

“There is. However, if Lassie registered, it might be wiser to choose manufacturing. The adventurer guild is full of rough and rowdy guys.”

“I see. Thank you so much for teaching me a lot of things!”

“Yeah. I’m stationed here every first of the month, so just call out to me if something happens.”

“Yes. If something happens, I’ll be in your care, Sir Guard.”

Akari entered the gate after waving the guard goodbye.

“Oh, I forgot to say it, Lassie.”

The guard called out to Akari as she stepped inside the gate.

“Welcome to Apristos!”
