Shido and Rumia strolled down the bustling streets, taking in the sights of the various shops lining the road. They had already checked into an inn with a good reputation in the capital, and now they were on their way to the Adventurers' Guild to register Rumia as an adventurer.
During their travel to the capital, Shido had shared with Rumia some basic knowledge about this world and the nature of his quests. Upon learning that Shido needed assistance to complete his missions, Rumia had agreed without hesitation to become an adventurer alongside him.
Clenching her fist with quiet determination, she silently vowed to grow stronger in this world, strong enough to protect the people she cared about and one day, Rumia will have the power to protect those important to her... like Sistine.
It took them the entire day to reach the capital city from the Great Forest of Tob, encountering various monsters along the way. During the journey, Shido asked Rumia to demonstrate her abilities, and she agreed with a gentle nod. Chanting her spells, she unleashed bursts of wind magic that blew away the monsters with impressive control.
Her mana reserves were considerable, but Shido already knew that offensive magic wasn't her specialty. While she could cast spells like Shock Bolt and a few other attack-type magic spells, they lacked the power to fatally harm higher-level enemies in this world and were more likely to only paralyze or incapacitate them.
Rumia was more proficient in support magic, especially in healing and defensive magic. Because of that, Shido didn't expect much about her offensive capabilities as a mage.
But if there was something truly special about Rumia, it was her innate magical talent.
Amplification.
People who possessed the rare ability to exponentially enhance the power of those they touched were known as Amplifiers. They were exceptionally rare and often sought after by those wishing to exploit their unique gift.
Rumia was one of the very few beings in her world to possess this miraculous ability. Even during her time as a princess, she was relentlessly targeted by evil mages and dark forces who sought to use her powers for their own gain. Her very existence became a source of constant danger, leaving the queen, her mother, feeling helpless to protect her.
