After we left the Garden of Eden, Aya and I went to E-Rantel.
We walked around a little, seeing what we could identify from our memories.
"There's Nfirea's shop!" Aya was happy, running around and pouting at places.
It didn't seem like he was there at the moment so we kept walking until we reached the Adventurer's Guild.
*creak*
The door made a loud sound as if welcoming our entrance, cause some people to look over at us.
It was noisy inside as everyone was talking.
We ignored the people still staring and made our way to the front desk.
"Hello, welcome to-"
Yeah, i expected that reaction.
Aya and I both look great so it's a natural response.
I just waved my hand in front of the ladies face trying to get her attention.
"A-ah yes, my apologies. How may i help you today?"
"We are two new adventurers and we'd like to register here."
She nodded and we proceeded with registration.
It wasn't very difficult, she asked for our names and where we were from.
We also registered as a team and we named it Kaos. Surprisingly it wasn't taken so i didn't have to do anything else.
After we finished we were free to grab our plates. Considering we just started they were Copper.
Aya placed hers around her neck while i wore mine around my wrist. The copper plates didn't bother me that much but the ego within me didn't like it.
Once we were settled we decided to walk around some more and let fate guide us.
«I won't let you down!»

/General POV - Guild Meeting\
In a well decorated room sat 6 leaders of various guilds.
Tension was high as they knew the reason they were called here wasn't simple.
"The reason i have brought you all here is because recently a few of our members raided some ruin in an area not too far from here. We lost 2 Platinum, 1 Mithril and an Adamantine class adventurer in this raid." The first to speak was the leader of the Silver Swords guild that Q was apart of.
The other leaders seemed surprised by this information but didn't say anything.
"From the account of survivors, there seems to be very powerful monsters there, but a lot of wealth and treasures. An ancient ruin with protectors that powerful? Just imagine the rewards waiting for us."
Now this peaked the leaders interests.
"You're looking for assistance? I don't know…we only have two Adamantine class adventurers and we can't risk their lives for such a measly price…" Other guild masters agreed.
The leader of the Silver Swords knew they weren't confident in him so he pulled out his final card.
"I understand your concerns and i have a way to address them. Rumored to be stronger than Adamantine class, i was able to pull a few strings and got the Queen of Thorns— Shuka Karino to join us on our trip!"
They were shocked! Everyone understood how much she was valued by the King how close she was with the leader of Blue Roses.
"What! How'd you manage that?"
That was the general consensus, they all wanted to ask.
"King Ramposa III owed me a favor from a few years ago. Lakyus thinks these jobs are beneath their guild so she wouldn't help with this if it doesn't harm the nation."
This helped them understand the situation a little better so they were able to calm down.
"We'll help you, the Divine Dragon guild will assist you!"
Other guilds followed as well, forming an alliance.

/General POV - Restaurant\
Inside a small restaurant sat two women, they were both blonde though one wore a mask on her face.
The mask was white with black lines on it. She wore a red hood with a robe that extended to the floor.
The other woman wore a red dress and had blonde hair in a twintail style.
Both of them had Adamantine adventurer plates hanging from their necks.
"This is going to be so boring, Evileye! Why can't you come with me?" The woman with twin tails spoke first, asking the girl in a mask named Evileye a question.
"I have other things to do, and raiding some ruin doesn't sound like a productive way to spend time…Why don't you just reject it, Shuka?"
Shuka put her head on the desk, clearly annoyed at her situation.
"It was a direct order from the king, i can't say no. You know i need their help if i want to investigate what happened to my parents!"
Evileye remained quiet, she knew how important this was to her.
"*Sigh* Oh well, it's time for me to go. I'll see you later."
Shuka got up and ran outside, using her chains to swing from building to building to traverse faster.
With this technique she quickly arrived at the place the guilds were going to meet at to prepare for battle.
Entering into the hall she seen a lot more people than she expected.
Looking around she finally saw the leader of Silver Swords and made her way over to him.
"Why are all these people here? Most of them are mere copper plates."
She was confused because all these weaklings would do is get in the way and get themselves killed.
"Ah, Shuka! You've arrived already! Don't worry about them, other guild masters thought it would be beneficial to get workers involved as well as they would provide as a good distraction incase things get hairy."
While listening to him, Shuka looked around the room. They all were ready to raid this place and didn't seem to care about the dangers.
As she scanned the place her eyes landed on two people and she couldn't look away.
The woman was beautiful and the man was handsome, they looked majestic and had an aura to them.
"I see you're captivated by them too, huh? Don't get your hopes up, they're both copper plates who just registered. A team called Kaos, it's a shame a woman that beautiful will die in this place."
Shuka wasn't paying the guild leader any attention as she was in her own thoughts.
'Kaos…their presence makes me feel like they're more than just copper plates. I should see if i can get a chance to speak to them later. Lakyus mentioned that she'd like more strong women on the team. I'm sure the King would appreciate having another knight as well.'
While thinking that, the man looked over at her and winked, followed by the woman looking over and smiling.
*Clink* *Clink*
Just then the guild leader tapped a glass as he began his speech for the raid.
