Chapter 29
After we talked for a bit later we decided that it was about time for us to head towards the guild's headquarters, which is where we are. I walk up to the semi-circle table that has the higher ups of the guild. Even Hikaru is at the table since he is the vice-president. When we got here he had excused himself to go to the table. I am waiting right now to see what they want me to do.
I snap out of thought as Heathcliff says, "Since you are apart of the guild now that means that we need to see what you are made of so we are going to test you to see what your strengths are so that we can use them for the guild. That is why you are going to go with Steven and go on a mission with him so that he can see what we should class you as." Hikaru looks at Heathcliff with shock as he says, "You have seen her skills already though. Not only did you see them while you dueled her but you also saw her fight multiple times on the front lines so can you tell me why she has to do this." I agree with him but he does not get it so I say, "The reason I have to do this is so that the other guild members do not think that I will get special treatment because I have a unique skill and that I am friends with the vice-president of the guild." I can see the shock plainly on his face so I know for sure that he did not think of that so he just shakes his head yes and remains quiet as I get the rest of the instructions.
I have about half an hour before I have to go on the mission with Steven so I am getting the supplies that I need for the trip with the help of Hikaru. Okay maybe Hikaru is not helping instead he is passing around the room nervous. He stops midstride as he says, "Right when we have a chance to relax together they have to send you off on a mission to see what your skills are even though they already know what they are." I would respond to that but he has been saying that over and over again since I started getting ready for the mission, which was fifteen minutes ago. I turn to him ready for the mission as I say, "I know that you think this is a bit unfair but it will be a quick and easy mission and I will be back as soon as I can with not injuries at all." With a final wave goodbye I turn around and leave for my mission.
It takes about twenty-five minutes for me to arrive at the gate where I will meet up with Steven. I guess I was not the only one that made it early because Steven walks out from behind the gate waving at me with a smile. When I get in hearing distance Steven yells, "Kari it is nice to meet you. Since we are all here I guess we can start the mission now." When I heard him say we instead of you I was wondering who the other person was when suddenly he pulls someone from behind the gate. Who it was made me stop where I was because standing by Steven was Clarissa.
