32 Arrival (2/2)
'As a Guard, surely they must be at least powerful in their own right.' The Arcanist rubs his chin in curiosity. 'After all, in most RPGs that I played, Guards are powerful NPCs that not even the hero himself would stand a chance against them, in the early stages of the game at least. The unrealism of such a system stems from the fact that such powerful individuals tend to only stay in a single town instead of going out there and make use of their mighty strength to help out the world instead of a hero who is weak at the beginning. As a matter of fact, they may do a better job than the hero himself and might save the world in a single fucking day. But I guess that's how games work for the protagonist to shine.'
A good example of this is the Witcher 3, where the Witcher, a powerful mutant who have undergone extensive training, ruthless mental and physical conditioning, and the three gruesome trials to become a monster slayer feared throughout the entire land, only to be one-shot by pesky average guards in White Orchard.

'Huh.' Gray blinks in a slight surprise upon seeing the mediocre stats of the Guard. 'I guess they are not as strong as I thought they would be. Thank goodness that this world retains some of the logic from real life.'
Indeed, if there really are powerful guards roaming around in this town, then there's no absolute need for a Warrior's Guild to be here in the first place.
The Guards seeing the newcomers approaching assumes a position of attention as one of them, the higher level of the two, inquires the Warrior and Mage of their intentions in town.
”What is your business here in Chadena, citizens?”
”Haha, relax Brandon.” The Cat-folk snickers, crossing his arm in amusement as he seemed to be in familiar terms with the Guard. ”It's just me.”
”Just doing my job, Isamu.” The Guard, Brandon, now smiles at the Cat-folk but still retains his firm posture in the line of duty. Then he saw Isamu's Elven companion as he questions. ”Who's your companion?”
”Ah, this is my new friend I encountered during my mission, Gray Allister.” Isamu happily introduces the Elf to the Guard. ”Don't worry, he's trustworthy, that I can assure you. He merely seeks a carriage driver for faster transportation into the capital.”

”I see.” Brandon nods in understanding and shifted his attention to Gray. ”Very well, since Isamu spoke on your behalf, you may enter.”
Brandon and his fellow guard then open the gate as Gray and Isamu are now granted entry into Chadena.
Gray's eyes could not help but glimmer with utmost excitement, looking forward to what's inside of the Town.
Up in the sky, a certain brown sparrow is shown to be constantly keeping its sights on the said Elf, not even sparing a moment as it followed him just as instructed by its powerful master.
