76 Meeting in person (1/2)
With Gray and Selena's magic tutelage finally over, both of them decided to celebrate today by leisurely walking around the town of Chadena after some rest and perhaps indulge themselves at the Fighter's Retreat for some good time later.
Of course, Gray invited Rarsu to join them as well but the lizardling said that he is unfortunately busy and has some personal business to attend to that requires attention.
As such, both soul-siblings marveled at the sights of Chadena, more specifically, at the Commerce district where they set their gazes all over the various merchants chattering in the marketplace making their trade around.
”Finally, found you both.”
Both siblings heard a familiar tiger-like voice from behind as they turned around to see that it's no other than Isamu Meiyo himself with his usual snack of bread at his right hand greeting them with a friendly grin.
”Hey, Isamu!” Gray smirked in a welcoming manner while Selena merely bowed her head briefly to acknowledge the cat-folk's presence. ”What brings you to the marketplace? I thought you are training with your orc mentor Krothu at this time of the day?”
With the cat-folk making himself known, the elf and sentinel saw his status being revealed.
Isamu Meiyo
Lvl 20: \u003cChampion\u003e
Health: 3,221 / 3,221
Stamina: 1,526 / 1,526

Indeed, Isamu as well has gone far in terms of his own power, achieving quite a feat that most Warriors of his level had yet to attain, something that he is definitely proud of, especially from the hardships that he has faced for the three months in the farmlands; a month working as a farmer and two months under the personal instruction of Krothu.
”In normal days, yes.” Isamu nodded as his grin turned wider which bared his fangs for the siblings to witness. ”Fortunately, I can put my training days behind the past now since I completed Sir Krothu's hellish regime just yesterday.”
”Nice.” Gray smiled at Isamu while Selena gave a silent thumbs up in response as both of them felt happy for their cat-folk friend. ”As a matter of fact, Selena and I also completed our apprenticeship just around three hours ago. We are heading to the Fighter's Retreat at this very moment to celebrate. Say, care to join us?”
”As much as I would love to revel myself again in the drunken glories of ale and mead, I'm afraid I'm going to have to say no this time.” Isamu shook his head with a sad look. ”I was instructed by Sir Krothu to head over to the Warrior's Guild and meet up with Lady Shael at the reception area. Additionally, I was also instructed that I bring you two with me.”
”Us?” Gray could not help but wonder what would a guild composing of Warriors would want with a Mage like him. ”What does the guild of Warriors want with magic users like us?”
”I don't know.” Isamu shrugged his shoulders in response. ”I'm also at the side of uncertainty, my friend. Lady Shael will reveal all the details once we report to her.”
”Very well.” Gray nods in compliance. ”I guess alcohol and music can wait later.”
With that, the three of them proceeded to the Warrior's Guild as they maneuver around the districts of the town with complete ease.
Being the apprentice of Rarsu Khougraox, there are times when he and Selena are also being sent outside of the emporium for some errands around the town involving magical in nature. As a result, the way and direction of the various districts of the town were engraved into the siblings' minds as they consider the place their home.
In a few minutes, the trio arrived at the Warrior's Guild as they step foot inside and made their way to the reception area where Shael is waiting for them.
In contrast with their expectations though, the elven woman is not alone as she was seen chatting merrily with a man with her youthful face all blooming and smiles. The man that she is in contact with is no other than-
”Guild Master, sir.” Isamu bowed his head down respectfully to acknowledge the esteemed leader of the guild right in front of him. ”I'm a bit surprised that you are here.”
”What? Can't a man have a nice little rendezvous with his own wife?” Malic simply looked at the cat-folk with a serious look in response.
