Hey there, new chapter and I am sorry if took a bit longer for this one to come out. Had other things but I know that a lot of you are going to love this one, mostly because I want to make a good Danmachi x My Hero story and show how great a character like Bell can be. Lets see what happens now in this world establishment chapter.
The Next day
Bell waked up very early like he usually does so he can work out a little bit. He doesn't do a rigorous training but he does what he can to make a little more endurance. Its not much but its good for his health.
''Hestia-sama are you still sleeping? Its already 9:00 Am.'' Said Bell.
''Just a few more minutes.'' Said Hestia wanitng to sleep hugging a pillow who she is imagining was Bell.
''Sorry goddess but you need to start working very soon.'' Said Bell with a smile.
''Oh come on Bell, don't be like that.'' Said Hestia with a pout.
''Sorry but its for your onw good.'' Said Bell and soon he heard a knock coming from the front door.
Knock Knock
''Who is this at this time?" Asked Hestia.
''Oh its must be Anna-chan with the milk.' Said Bell.
''Oh no! I do not allow that girl in this inn!'' Said Hestia angry.
''Hestia-sama please, Anna-chan is my only friend from my old town. She and her family did a lot for me when I was orphan.'' Said Bell.
''I guess.'' Said Hestia looking away.
Bell open the door of the inn and soon saw a pretty girl that was about his height. She had dark pink hair and was wearing a white shirt while also wearing some overalls. She also had a pretty good looking face, was 13 years old and had an impressive bust for someone of her age. She was also Bell only friend in town, she and her family moved 2 years before Bell went to Musutafu and was taken by Hestia. She still sees Bell often but since the two don't go to the same middle school it was hard, plus she and her family work at a bakery and it was kind of an exhausting job. Her full name was Anna Hyuua and her quirk was hot touch which allowed her hand to reach at least 52 Degree.
''Oh hi Anna-chan.'' Said Bell.
''Good morning Bell-kun.'' Said Anna
'Is this the milk for the week?" Asked Bell seeing her with some milk bottle as well a bag of food.
''Yes, we got a good deal and this way better than just let it spoil in the fridge.'' Said her.
''Oh good, I´m sure me and Hestia-sama will be pleased with that.'' Sad Bell.
''Yes, its good to see some nice milk coming from a cow.'' Said Hestia with a frown looking at the girl who was a bit taller than her.
''Hestia-sama!'' Said Bell nervous.
''So Bell-kun are really applying to UA?" Asked Anna.
''Yes.'' Said Bell a little nervous.
''Me too. I heard that they have some of the best teachers in all of Japan maybe this time you and I would be placed in the same class. Wouldn't that be great?" Asked Anna.
The thing was that Bell never told Anna that he wanted to apply for the hero course, while the girl was very dedicated to go into the regular course. Bell was never good in talking with girls, specially talking about his dreams and ambitions.
''Oh…'' Said Bell nervous and the girl could see that.
''Sorry, but is there something wrong Bell-kun?'' Asked her.
''Is nothing. I´m actually need to go soon because I am registering at the Guild today.'' Said Bell.
''Oh ok, I need to go I still have more delivery too do. See you around.'' Said Anna leaving.
''Bye Anna-chan.'' Said Bell.
As the girl left Bell put the bags and the milk on a table near his room. Hestia just grabbed a pre made sandwich and started to eat in anger.
''I dodnt like seeing her in here. Next time you need to wake up and work out a little longer.'' Said Hestia.
''Hestia-sama, Anna-chan is my only childhood friend. She is the one that showed me around the city, I would be lost if it wasn't for her.'' Said Bell being honest.
Hestia didn't like this. She knew what would happen once Bell entered High School, it would be hormone festival, and someone might even try to steal him from her. She couldn't keep Bell tied to her so she need it to let him be free and do what he want.
''Fine, but I don't like clingy things in my Inn. Besides you need to get to the Guild soon, I think they are already open.'' Said Hestia.
''Ok, I will be there the whole day.'' Said Bell.
''Be safe if something happen I will look for you.'' Said Hestia.
''Thank you goddess.'' Said Bell.
The boy soon left his home and took his little phone (who was out of date compared to the others) to find the address for ´´The Guild´´.
A few miles later.
''There it is.'' Said Bell seeing a huge building.
The building reminded him of those old school RPG mansions. It was fulled of people coming inn and out, mostly were young sidekicks or people who could be affiliated with some deity. Bell even saw the huge sign on the top of the building.
´´Guild´´
Once he took a deep look he was super impressed with that. Taking aside UA or All Might agency this has to be third most impressive building he has ever seen since he arrived in this city.
''Wow! So big.'' Said him.
Bell then went inside to explore the place and felt like a little ant in there.
''There so many Heroes in here.'' Thought Bell seeing all the sidekicks and heroes affiliated with Gods in there.
The sensation was too big, he didn't even had a costume in mind. He was wearing some regular clothes and that's all. His weapon was just a rusty knife that Hestia gave to him and his quirk was pretty much a weak one, he didn't even know if he could get strong in this place.
''I feel so out of place. I wonder if they will ever notice…'' Thought Bell nervous but then someone saw him.
''Can I help you?" Asked a feminine voice.
The boy turned around and saw a girl a little bit older than him. She had brown hair, glasses and she had point ears that kind made her look like an elf.
''Oh yes, I would like to register in here.'' Said Bell.
''Well you´re in good luck mister…'' Said her to Bell who introduced himself.
''Bell Cranel.''
''Mister Bell I´m Eina Tulle and I an advisor here in the guild. Come with me so we can work on your registration.'' Said Eina.
''Sure.'' Said him.
The two soon went to an office looking room and the two soon started to work with some paperwork and business talk.
''So you would like to register in here?" Asked Eina.
''Yes.'' Said Bell.
''You know that this place doesn't accept anyone. We only work with people who have permission from Pro Heroes or Gods.'' Said Eina.
''I work for a goddess, and she gave me her blessing to register in here.'' Said Belll holding a letter which had Hestia signature.
''Oh really. Which goddess do you work for?' Asked Eina.
''Hestia.'' Said Bell.
The answer made Eina look a bit confused, she has heard of that name but it wasn't going to her head immediately.
''Hestia, isn't that the Goddess with…only one person?" Asked Eina seeing on her tablet about Hestia information.
''Yeah I am that person.'' Said Bell with a nervous laugh.
Eina just took a little laugh at that, this kid could be fun.
''Well no matter the number she is still a goddess and this letter has her blessing?" Asked Eina.
''Yes, I have her blessing and permission to register in here.'' Said Bell giving her the letter.
''And where do you study at?" Asked Eina.
''I study at Alderan Junior Middle School. This is my last year.'' Said Bell.
''And what kind of High School do you plan to attend?" Asked Eina.
''U.A.'' Said Bell.
''Oh nice, I actually go there too.'' Said Eina.
''You go!'' Said Bell nervous.
''Yes, but I go to the Regular course. I am a first year.'' Said Eina.
''How do you work in here and also get to be a student at UA?" Asked Bell.
''it's a bit hard but honestly, I can take care. After school I work in here until midnight and in the weekends like today I work until late afternoon. It might be harhs but it pays well.'' Said Eina.
''And can you tell me how it is UA from the inside? Please?" Asked Bell in excitement.
Eina couldn't help but chuckle out of Bell excitement, he was looking like a little kid who was really excited to hear on what the famous hero school was like in the same way a toddler imaging santa workshop to be.
''Its really big and always improving. I haven't seen how the hero course it's like, but from what I have seen its always to open your mouth.'' Said Eina.
''Wow!'' Said Bell.
Then Eina decided to get back to the serious issue and see Bell application.
''So you really would like to be a part of the Guild?'' Asked Eina.
''Yes, I would like to get stronger and have some idea of hero work before I apply to UA.'' Said Bell.
''Well I hope you get in the hero course, because if you don't then most of the missions and quests would be off limits for you.'' Said Eina.
The information caught Bell of guard who didn't expected to hear that.
''What do you mean?" Asked Bell.
''Sorry, I guess this part wasn't well explained in our website. If you are affiliated with a god but its not a hero then you are not allowed to do all the types of quests that are posted, but if you are both then you are really allowed to do any kind of quest that is given to us. Is more a separation type situation.'' Said Eina.
''it's a bit confusing.'' Said Bell.
''it's the rules mister Bell and we can't break those.'' Said Eina.
Bell took a deep breath and thought really hard, if he wanted to keep in this place and get stronger he need it to do all he could to get in UA. Be a hero was his dream and this place would help him achieve it.
''So would you like to continue the procedure?'' Asked Eina.
''Yes.'' Said him.
Bell soon singed some papers and gave his information, soon Eina started to look at all the possible task that someone like Bell who was literally a level 1 in gamming terms could do.
''You can do the beginners things. Finding old relics, lost items and assist the police in small crimes.' Said Eina.
''Oh really that sounds really good.'' Said Bell.
''Yes, but you need to show that you are working with us otherwise they might think you are a vigilante. After this you need to take a picture and we will make your card ID.'' Said Eina.
''This is a lot of things to remember.'' Said Bell a bit nervous.
''Well mister Bell this is how the hero world works, sometimes you need to keep your mind in the game and think of the right action, so shall we proceed?" Asked Eina.
''Sure.'' Said Bell.
Later
Once Bell ID was done he was giving access of the Guild App and he saw his name and current Rank which was level 1, he could level up once he has achieved enough quests and gain some kind boost in popularity.
''Well mister Bell I hope the best for you and look forward to working with you as a hero.'' Said Eina.
''Thanks, I hope to do my best. I promise my Goddess that I would get stronger and that's what I am going to do.'' Said him.
That statement made Eina smile a little bit, that guy was really a nice one.
'I think you will do a fine hero, although someone might see you as a little kid with that energetic attitude you have.'' Said Eina with a jokey tone.
''Eina-san!'' Said Bell blushing.
''Sorry but I couldn't help myself.'' Said Eina chuckling.
Bell then decided to brush off that and decided to explore what kind of Task he could do in his level and start growing stronger.
''Well I better start out. I will come back later today to tell you how it went, bye Eina-san.'' Said Bell.
''See you later Bell.'' Said Eina.
The girl waved and Bell soon was gone from the guild. Eina was the advisor for a ton of young heroes, but there was something different about this one and she couldn't tell why.
''What an interesting guy.'' Thought her.
''Got a new client?" Asked her coworker Misha.
''Yes, he´s very excited about the hero business, but he has a long way if he wants to join UA.'' Said Eina.
''Oh yes, me and the others were seeing him and we couldn't help to notice something.'' Said Misha.
''What is it?" Asked Eina.
''hE looks like a rabbit. Its kind of cute.'' Said Misha with a laugh.
Eina couldn't help but laugh at that. In some ways bell kind remind her of a rabbit.
With Bell
''Ok, lets see what I can do.'' Thoguht Bell checking all the available Task in the app.
Later
Bell had done over 3 tasks in a day. Nothing much but considering this was his first day it was really a bit step. He helped an old lady find her missing cat, found some nice rocks for a local geologist and helped some old folks home chance their sofa´s. It wasn't anything exicting but Bell was learning from those task and every step he was making sure to get some sort of exercise.
''I can't believe I did all this in one day. Hestia-sama is going to be so proud!'' Thoguht him.
While he was going back to the Guild two people were looking at him. One was big and muscular while the other looked a little thin but still muscular.
''Is he the kid?" Asked the bigger one.
''Yes.' Said the thin one.
'Send the minotaur.'' Said the bigger one.
With that they clicked a remote and a cage which was holding a monster was open.
The beast was a descent of the mystical minotaur. Those creatures who were once a myth now walk among the people of Earth, ever since the Gods came down from the heaven and Quirks become a thing it show that reality and fantasy weren't going to be much of a difference anymore.
Bell was still walking towards the guild with no trouble in mind and actually feeling quite calm.
''I wonder how this payment thing is going to work out. Better ask Eina-san for that.'' Thought Bell and soon a large sound was heard.
Boom
''Huh?'' Asked Bell confused.
Bell turn his head and in the alley that he was there it was a huge minotaur. Good thing the place wasn't with a single person, or the monster would be rampaging it out, however the only person in the minotaur view was Bell.
''ROAR!"
''A minotaur!?'' Scream Bell in horror.
The beast saw Bell and it went immediately after him
''Aaaaah!'' Scream Bell in fear as he runs away.
The monster kept trying to hit Bell so he could squash him but Bell was surprising fast for someone that was still trying all by himself.
''Why is he here? Aren't all the mystical creatures under Ganesha-sama supervision?" Asked Bell.
Then Bell saw that he had his path blocked, there was no way out and the Minotaur looked like he was ready to kill.
''What do I do?'' Thought Bell nervous.
So yes, Bell got enrolled at the guild and we are going to have the minotaur scene. Now I know in canon Freya asked Ottar to do this, but I can't remember why she did that. It was to test Bell or Ais? I am confused.
One thing I want to say. Bell has been living with Hestia for a total of six months in the current story. Bell lived with his grandfather in another city until he was 12, Anna left his home city when they were both 10 and they reunite a few weeks later. I will go into more detail in future chapters.
The OC Anna is based on Cowgirl from Goblin Slayer. It would be funny to have an OC that is the childhood friend turned hot girl for Bell she is a bit off in some cases but overall she is a good girl . She won't be on the Hero Course, not everyone has to be in the hero course for the main character to interact.
I hope you all had fun reading this chapter. I had a lot of fun making it. See you all next time.
