The Transfer - Mesuda Village Arc

It had been a two weeks since the mission in Zallo village, when Honō and Witz were called into Armatura’s office.

As Honō and Witz entered the room they were greeted by the sight of Armatura talking to a man with somewhat long red hair. The man had dark grey eyes and was wearing a black t-shirt with pockets on the sleeves and Chest, along with black trousers holding two daggers on either side of his belt.

“Ah welcome Honō, Witz this here is our newest member, Ash. He’s a transfer from the somewhat famous up and rising, Rising Sun guild in Witonia” stated Armatura waving the duo to come in and take a seat.

“Thanks for the introduction, Mr Meka. As he said, I am Ash a transferred member from the rising sun guild of Witonia” said Ash putting his hand out to the duo for a handshake.

“Good to meet you, Ash, I’m Honō Hantā” spoke Honō introducing himself as he shook Ash’s hand.

“Nice to meet ya, Ash, I’m Witz Meka” smiled Witz as she also introduced herself before shaking Ash’s hand after Honō.

“Now that introductions are done, I’d like to let you know that I want the two of you to show Ash around and welcome him into the guild” ordered Armatura in joyful tone as he started shooing them out of the room

With that their conversation was over and the trio left the room and begun to show Ash around the guild’s headquarters. First, they started by showing him the cafeteria where Honō went and got another extra large coffee, after the cafeteria the duo showed Ash around the guild archives which every mission report and record of every threat to Echilia was kept.

The next room the duo showed to Ash was the lab which may as well have had been Witz’s own personal room. As they entered the lab the trio was greeted by the sight of a bustling crowd of researchers, inventors, and scientists hard at work in their white lab coats other then the famed head of the department who wore a sleek black dress and observed everyone with her emerald stare making sure they were working and meeting deadlines.

“This place is awesome but what’s up in the corner over there” asked Ash adverting the group’s attention to the messy corner of gadgets, new tech, a small sign saying “Polly Merr stay away” and a green sleeping bag with the initials W.M on the side 

“Ah oh no need to look there now let’s just go look at the uhhh gym yes gym you’re a muscular dude right you’d much prefer the gym then some lab so let’s get going” shouted Witz frantically trying to block the corner from their sight.

Ash started laughing before saying “don’t worry about the mess you should see my place I moved in two days ago, but the place still looks like a dump”

Honō standing behind Ash, was looking at the pair talking when he stuck two thumbs at Witz with a smug smile on his face. When Witz saw Honō’s thumbs up and smug face she stuck a middle finger up at him the minute Ash wasn’t looking.

Honō smiled before saying “Ok you two how about we take Witz up on her idea of visiting the gym and after then we can show you the outside training court”

“Sure, why not” laughed Ash as he turned to Honō smiling.

As they made their way to the gym, Ash remarked the size of the guild's headquarters and how his old one looked like a little shack in comparison. Once the trio got to the gym, Honō showed Ash around and showed him where all the facilities were.

After showing Ash the gym the group made their way to the guilds outside training court where some of the guild members were currently training. Once they arrived onto the court the trio sat down at the benches placed at the sides of the court.

“Fresh air at last” exclaimed Ash stretching as he sat on the bench.

“Ya, hey now that I think of it what rank actually are you, Ash?” Questioned Honō as he watched the near by members sparring.

“I’m an A rank much like yourself Honō” replied Ash now also watching the sparring guild members.

As Honō looked at Ash after his answer he noticed that Ash’s dark grey eyes had begun to shine with small orange sparks of light, like embers of a flame as he watched the sparring between the two guild members.

“Hey Honō, we’re both A rank right so we should be roughly on pair with each other in terms of combat, right?” Asked Ash as he took his attention from the fight and began to look at Honō.

“Ya, how come you ask?” Replied Honō took back by the question.

“Good” spoke Ash before asking the question of

“Wanna spar?”
