บท 45: Arrival

The sleek chrome hovercraft of the Blue Seals settled beside a small, red and black transport belonging to one of the residences of the apartment complex. Aria and Eryx stepped out, their expressions a study yet somewhat neutral.

Across the street, Arden of the Red Phoenix guild stepped out of a fiery red supercar, his gaze sweeping over the arrivals.

"Well, well, Eryx."

"Haven't seen you at one of these recruitment brawls in a while."

Eryx shot back a playful jab. "Just taking a well-deserved break, Arden. Besides, some jobs require a bit more finesse than brute force."

Aria spoke up with a stern look, "And we're here to remind everyone that we aren't that weak."

Although among the top five guilds, the Blue Seals were considered to be the weakest, and more often than not, didn't participate in many of such gatherings before.

Arden chuckled. "Weak, huh? I can't help but wonder what you both plan to offer today."
