บท 11: Reunion

As I was leaving the arena after the test I started to walk out into the lobby area. Shortly after I walk out, I freeze as my eyes lock onto a figure. She was my age, quite literally, we have the same birthday, March 7. She was 5"7' with a longer pixie cut style and natural scarlet colored hair. She has an aura filled with confidence and erudition.

I quickly rushed towards her as I pulled her into my embrace. It was a little bit awkward considering that she is quite a bit taller than me but I don't care. Before she was able to say anything I whisper into her ear, "We shouldn't talk here, we should find somewhere quiet to talk."

Realizing that there are a lot of people around she nods to me with a soft smile on her face. We quickly found a quiet place to talk in a private room in the guild. Once we were inside we started to catch up.

"Sorry about that earlier, in this new world I decided to start going by my name I was going to use for the game, so I go by Tess now. You don't have to call me that all the time, just when we're around other people. I figured my name would stick out a bit well my last name," I say to Amy.

When I said this Amy nodded in understanding, "that makes sense, don't worry about it. No that you mention it I'll probably do the same thing. So I'll go by Aurelia now. I'm just curious but how did you die?"

"Well I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think I was crushed by a main support beam for a building."

"Wait that was you! I heard about that accident, they couldn't identify you because your body was pulverized."

"Ya I figured that would happen, how did you die?"

"Well I guess my capsule was faulty and I died from smoke inhalation, not as brutal as you but I still died."

"Death is still death, at least I died quickly, I can only imagine what it's like to suffocate, that would be horrid. What do you think of forming a party, at least after your examination?"

"I don't see a problem with that, I can provide magic support from behind and you attack up close. We'd make a great team, our only problem is we don't have any type of tank that could keep up with our growth." I could tell Aurelia felt a little worried about this problem.

'I really want to comfort her but how?' I think for a moment and reply "We can figure that out latter, there's no point in aimlessly worrying about what we can't do anything about."

"I guess your right, there isn't a point in worrying right now. Our next course of action should be to accomplish some tasks for the guild. So we should do that after I finish my assessment test, how does that sound?"

I think for a moment saying, "Ya, why not, it's as good idea as any. Now that we a have a plan let's start moving, you should go take the assessment, I need to do some thing while you do that."

"Alright, I'm gonna take my test now I'll be back in a sec, see you in a minute Winter."

With those words we left the private room and I watched Amy, I mean Aurelia, go to take her assessment. Meanwhile I went to the bounty counter to pick up my reward. When I reached there they already had my reward ready for me which amounted to 10 gold pieces. Satisfied with the reward I went to a table and waited for Aurelia to finish her test. Not much latter she walked out and the mage assesser had a similar expression to Zashan when he finished my test. From that I new she started at C class just like I did.

Walking up I said "Congrats on making C class. I'm assuming that's what her expression means?"

"Ya I made C class it was a great learning experience for me too though. I have a few ideas I'd like to test out."

"Okay I have no problems with that, Just as long as I'm not the test subject." I say as I laugh to myself at my joke. All I hear is a soft hearted chuckle from Aurelia, no one understands my jokes. As I think about that I motion that we should go over to the task counter and we start walking over.
