Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

Sadly before I could even think about the stalls, I had to find a place to sell my nerdals. I had at least a few golds worth which would allow me to shop a bit more. “Excuse me.” I stopped in front of a shop that was run by an older woman. I had spotted her setting things up before going into the guard headquarters. She looked to be in her mid forties and was on the bigger side, but when she turned and looked at me, she did not show any disgust at all.  Hearing me call out to her, the older woman turned and smiled brightly at me before walking over. 

“What can I do for you, young lady?” I really was quite surprised at the way people welcomed demi humans in this town. While I did feel a few malicious gazes, most people didn’t even pay attention to me. Those that did look at me would smile before going about their things. 

Compared to the stares and whispers I got back in Wandermere, this town was like a safe haven for all demi humans. Of course, this was only speculation. Who knows, if they were not all gloating inside and at some point, I would become part of some game where I am given some food rations and had to run away from all the humans trying to kill me. If I survive for a certain amount of time, I win. At any rate, for the time being, they were all being nice to me.

“Yes, can you tell me where I can sell materials from nerdals? Is there an armorsmith around?” I did not know exactly who I was to bring this to, so I figured an armorsmith of some kind would be best. And since I did not know what the town had for craftsmen, I figured the term armorsmith would work best.

“Nerdals? You actually have materials from nerdals? Hmmm, if you are going to sell them and want to get the most out of them, you can sell them to the mercenary guild down the street. Just keep going until you see the big sign with the skull and swords. I never understood why they chose such a signboard, but that is the best place to sell materials. As for an armorsmith, There is the blacksmith and the leatherworking shop. I have never heard of any armorsmith.”  _-.

“Thank you! When I sell my materials, I will be sure to stop by and buy a few things as my way of saying thanks.” I waved at the older woman and ran off. I could hear her telling me I didn’t have to buy anything but. She was selling what looked to be some kind of pastry, and I wanted to try it anyway.

The mercenary guild was not hard to find. It was a fairly big building with huge doors at the entrance, and as the older woman had said, there was a big sign with a skull and sword. The swords were piercing through the skull. Kinda made it seem like a bandit hideout than a mercenary guild. But nonetheless, I was here to sell things, and if I can get more money coming here, then I would do just that. Although…. I walked over to the side and sat down, and opened my menu. “Let’s see…. Business…. Business…. Ah, here we go…. Business Tycoon! A skill that allows me to be the best of the best when it comes to business. Not only does it allow me to understand how to make a successful business, but it also allows me to know when someone is trying to rip me off. A kind of business sense.”

And so I took the skill Business Tycoon and maxed it out. This was probably the best all-rounder skill because even if I had to hide in another kingdom someplace, I could always rely on this skill to make me money in the future and forge a new path if need be. 

[Business Tycoon (LVL 10(MAX))]

With that set, I walked into the mercenary guild with my head held high. However, as soon as I stepped through the door, a loud voice echoed through the big hall. “What the hell is a demi doing in here!?” A young man with spiked hair yelled out. To be honest, I do not even know what made him act so tough. He was just as skinny as I was, and I’m a little girl! He looked like a bad take on the evil villain from some crappy movie made back on Earth. With his sharp pointy green spiky hair and loose fitting leather armor, I really wondered how he even fought in such a getup.

“Bastard, Jerad, apologize this instant!” A woman at another table yelled out. “You dare pick on a little girl!?”

“Gesel, shut up and mind your own business! You know more than anyone how much I hate demis.” Bastard Jerad answered. He really had a unique name, it seemed to fit him well. 

“You! Just because that rabbitkin told you off in public, you now hate all demi humans!? Are you an idiot?” Oh ho ho? Do we have some kind of drama going on in Bastard Jerad’s life? So basically, he was rejected and told off, and now he hates everyone. 

“Damnit. Gesel, I will kill you!” Bastard Jerad seemed to have lost his cool. But I think this young woman named Gesel did it on purpose because as soon as Bastard Jerad charged at her, she turned to me and winked. For a woman who was full of muscles, she was a very kind person. And by muscles, I mean they were bigger than my father’s. Anyway, never judge a book by its cover. Sometimes they got unique names like Bastard Jerad. This is the lesson I will take home from this little incident. As for Bastard Jerad, he was knocked out cold without even being able to put up a fight. As I thought, he was rather weak.

I walked up to the counter and rang the small bell to the side that was used to call the person in the back. “Can I help you?” A young man with glasses walked over and sat down behind the counter. To be honest, I was just barely tall enough to see over the counter. It made me realize just how short I was. 

“Yes, I need to sell quite a few nerdals hides…. Well, more like the entire monster.” I hoped they would take the entire corpse, or I would need to take up the skill needed to harvest monster skins. And to be honest, I really did not wish to take up such a trade. But now that I am thinking about monsters. For some reason, I did not feel my ancient will at all when I killed the nerdals. I wonder if it is because of the way I killed them or some other factor that is now restraining it. Well, whatever the reason is, I am grateful for it.

“Little Miss, I do not see any nerdals with you.” The young man’s words brought me back from my thoughts. 

“One second.” I reached out to my side and grabbed a nerdal from my inventory. With a loud bang, it fell to the floor.

“Hot damn spatial magic!” I heard a loud, gruff voice yell out behind me. Spatial magic was a thing? I never heard about it, but by the surprised look and the fact that someone knew about it, I guess it was. It was also at this time that I realized that I did forget that people did not have inventories like me, which is a big blunder on my behalf. 

“Little lady, to think you are able to use such a high ranked spell… How about joining my merc group?”  The gruff man ran over to me and reached out to take my hands. I instinctively reached for my sword. 

“Fred!” Gesel, who had come up behind the gruff man, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back. “You were about to lose that hand. See how the little lady already has her hand on the hilt of her sword. She is no amateur. Or else she wouldn’t have a fully intact nerdal with no damage on it.” 

After scolding Fred, Gesel smiled at me and pulled me squatted down. She was like six foot five, so while she was standing, I had to crane my neck to look up at her. So it was nice of her to squat down to my level. “Little miss. I suggest never showing that magic to anyone. People might even try to kidnap you. Luckily the only one here who would do such a thing was just knocked out by me. Hahaha! Isn’t that right, boys?” 

“Right! Gesel knows us best. We could care less about spatial magic, but little lass. There are merchants and a few other not so noble individuals who will try to covet your magic as it is only something top mages can cast. So be careful.” 

“I will… Well, since I already showed it to you once, can I take out the rest of the nerdals?” I did not want to cause any issues, but it was hard to pull out the nerdals if I couldn’t access my inventory. 

“Wait, you have more!?”
