#5 The Soldier of Nature and A Sister in Arms!
Hyguard Adventurer's Guild, this but one of many adventure guilds all over Miracula, ran by Lord Koshiro "Izzy" Izumi, Guildmaster and member of the Hyguard Council, He is the youngest but wisest of the Nobles.
He was tending to the reception area when Marinette and Sabrina came by, he had already been aware of Marinette's expulsion from the team and was not pleased.
"Greatings Guildmaster Izzy!" said Marinette with a polite bow.
"Please, Izzy would do, hello Marinette, i was told of your expulsion from the Fangs of Heaven, in my opinion, what Adrien did was inexcusable, here is your penalty payment." Izzy said as he gave Marinette a sack of gold coins, "As you are already aware, kicking somone out of a A-Rank Party, without a sutable reason is a 500 gold coin penalty given to the expelled party member, perhaps you can show Adrien how to effectivly manage a party"
Marinette nodded and signed the paperwork needed to form a new party.
"Ok, everything's in order, now what is you party name?" Izzy asked.
Marinette gave it some thought and decided to give her new party a more..humble name.
"How about The Leaves Of Rebirth?" asked Marinette asked.
"Ok Then, The Leaves of Rebirth." Izzy said as she handed her the Party certificate.
"That's a really pretty name..." a small voice said.
The girls turned to face a small elven boy, arround 8 years old, he was clad in green leather armor, on his back was a wooden sheild, and in his hand, a woodcutter's axe.
"Hi, i'm Takeru Takashi, but my friends call me "T.K" the boy said with a smile.
"you look familiar, you brother wouldn't be a Half-elf named "Matt" would it?" asked Sabrina.
T.K nodded, "I just became an adventurer, and i was looking for a party to join, are you looking for one?" he asked.
"Yes we are, can we see your stats?" asked Marinette.
T.K smiled and turned on his stat card:
T.K Takashi
Race: Elf
Class: Beserker
Level: 45
Skill: Soldier of Nature- Grants the user a higer HP level and access to Nature Magic
"Holy Crap! Mari, this kid's perfect! can we keep him?" asked Sabrina.
"Well T.K, you seem to have won Sabrina over, Welcome aboard!" Marinette said as T.K shook her hand.
"Wow...you've got to be desperate if you're letting kids join your party..." a familiar voice said.
Marinette and the others turned to see Alya, Adrien, Alix, and Nino, her former party, The Fangs of Heaven.
"So, you got a party of your own now, that's great, i knew you would!" said Nino.
"Oh Marinette, i really hoped you would leave the adventurer's life, it's just not for you." said Adrien with a sigh.
"She's a lot stronger than she used to be!" said Sabrina.
Marinette showed her stats to Adrien, whose eyes widened at the sight.
"Level 90? the hell?" cried out Adrien.
"See how strong Marinette could be when you guys don't hog the EXP?" said Sabrina, "Come to think of it, in all our travels, you never once let Marinette keep the EXP she needs to get stronger...were you delibertly keeping her weak just so you could insult her and make her feel useless?"
"No! not at all! it's just we needed to priortise the stronger members, you're tough, but Alya and Nino can deal more damage, and now with Alix, we have a better shot a being an S-Rank party!" Adrien explained.
"Don't drag me into this shit! i didn't wanna replace Marinette, she's like a sister to me, you're lied to me Adrien, you said that Marinette left on her own, you didn't say you kicked her out!" growled Alix.
"If we told the truth, you wouldn't have joined..." Alya said.
"There you are Agreste!" the familiar voice of Guildmaster Izzy.
Adrien gulped as Izzy made himself known, "I was looking for you, here."
Adrien took the paper, "You're giving me a citation! for what?"
"Rule 122.4 of the Adventurer Guild rulebook clearly states that A-Rank party leaders must submit an expulsion letter before expelling a member, 122.5 states that A-Rank party leaders also must have a valid reason for expelling a member, and finally, 122.6 states the the party leader must pay a severence fee of no less than 500 gold coins, which you have not done." Izzy said with a sneer, "that's three rules you've broken, i should revoke your Adventurer's liceence, but since this is your first offense, i'll be lenient, you and your party are on probation for 1 month, this means you are prohibited from exploring high-rank dungeons or accepting high-rank quests, Alix, since you had just recently joined the Fangs of Heaven, you have a choice, you may remain with them, or you may join another party."
Alix smiled, "Sorry Agreste, but we beastmen gotta stick together!" and with that she joins the Leaves of Rebirth.
"WHAT!" cried Adrien, "That's not fair!"
"Is it? now you listen here, just because your father is head of the Hyguard council, doesn't mean he can bend the rules for you, need i remind you that i am also a member of the council, i take the rules of the guild very seriously! now get out before i change my mind!" growled Izzy.
The trio left, with an angry Adrien, leaving Alix with Marinette and her new party.
"So, when do we start?" asked T.K.
