The spring has come on this world... The birds are flying in the sky, kids are leaving houses and running on the roads of the capital, and the knights are patrolling around the streets of this beautiful capital. And also on this day, Fiona and I have left the forest with a few wild wolves caught by them.

"Today was a good hunting." says Fiona who is now wearing much more protective armour since the missions have got harder.

"Well said." I say while I am carrying a three-pack of wolves on his back while Fiona is carrying nine. "And we are also going to get money for all of these different types of animals."

"Yes. And you... You have really mastered that water spell very good."

"You mean "Water Ball"? Sure I have mastered it and it just took me two days."

"Really?"

"It is not a difficult spell. It works like Fireball, but it takes much more mana and you need a place where the water is to use it."

"Thankfully, there was water in the forest and you could do it perfectly. You didn't cause any damage there."

"Thank you."

We are walking for a few more minutes, but then, Fiona has suddenly stopped. I bumped into her by mistake, and then I look at her and asked why she is stopping. And she said to me her reason which made me confused.

"Would you like to go ahead? I have to transport this type of animal to another place."

"O-Okay." I said to her, and then, we both go into separate ways, she is going to the left, while I go straight ahead, to the shop where the mission we have taken told to go. "Maybe Fiona got another mission that is similar to mine. But why she has taken three more wolves. Just to be sure that she is not doing a bad thing, I will launch "Vulture" to seek her."

I took my wand, aimed at the sky, and said with a moderately loud voice the spell name "Vulture" and told the bird who left my wand to go and seek Fiona Lunderberg to see where is heading with those wolf's bodies who were going to be skinned and used as a clothing material. I hope she is not thinking that I spy on her if I release the bird to look after her. I am just cautious since there has been a lot of attacks in this city recently and I hope she will not be attacked by one of those guys. Recently, Fiona seems to be like the one I was in the war or the recent missions after I healed, she seems much more tired and her hits are quite weaker.

While I walk to that store, I observed a small child who is on the street, stay in front of a box, on a dirty rug. I quickly take five coins from my pocket and threw them to that weak child, who, when he saw me, smiled and said thanks. I smiled back at him, and continue my walk to that store without saying anything back to that kid. Fiona and Diana told me that some people are just begging because they are lazy to work, or because they wanted to profit from other people. But that child, really looked hungry to eat a loaf of bread with meat. I hope those five gold coins will be enough to satisfy his hunger.

A few minutes later, I arrived at that store, I put those piles of wolves in the store, and the seller, gave me an envelope which contains fifty gold coins and as a bonus, he gave me a pair of shoes made of leather. These shoes seem acceptable, but I prefer the ones I am wearing from Ron who gave them to me as a gift when I left the hospital. But, I took those shoes because you never knew when the ones I am wearing might break them and cannot be used again.

When I was leaving the store and heading to the path to Fiona and Diana's home, the vulture I sent came back, and he told me where Fiona was seen.

"Greuceanu Tavern. It is located at twelve houses from here." says my faithful bird who I named Oscar.

"Thank you, Oscar." I said to the bird, and he goes back into my wand which is kept on y left side of the belt.

So, I decided to head into that Tavern. I hope she is not there to offer her body to gain money. How do I know that? From a book, I once read in the Orphanage who was put in the wrong section. If she is doing that thing, then this might explain how she is that rich, cause working as a knight it isn't that profitable anymore since the kingdom has lost a big amount of money cause of nobles who were starting to rob a few stores and the buildings where those valuable golden coins are placed.

While I walk on the streets with kids who are playing with their ball and running around in the city, smiling and having no stress. Sometimes I wish to have that life, every time I look at those kids. Sometimes I also God if it will be possible to help me experience that day, even for one single day. But, you know, like Fiona's Father said to me while I was in a coma (I could hear him said that thing to his daughters), "Be content with what you have because other people are doing much worse than you.".

I arrive in front of that Tavern, I slowly open the door to that tavern that seems closed because not a single noise is heard there. I look in there, and saw darkness, only a few torches were lightened, and that amount was probably small. I made two steps into the Tavern, and then, I saw Fiona, at a table, with a few other warriors like her.

She saw me coming into this Tavern. She looked shocked at me, and other warriors were getting up from their seats. I saw one who was looking mad at me, and another who was about to launch an arrow at me. But thankfully, Fiona took her enormous sword and stopped their way with her weapon, while she is looking at me.

"I-I did not expect you to be here, my scout."

"W-What is this?" I asked her after I looked around the Tavern, and at three of those warriors who were curious looking at me. "And where are those wolf furs?"

"Judah... I think it would be better if you leave this place and forget it, alright?"

"Um... Alright. I cou-"

"Not so fast." says a wizard who is coming from a room on the first floor and stands on the terrace, has at left hand a staff like the one I kept home since I prefer the wand because it is much lighter and easy to carry, and wears armour with clothes made by animal leather. That wizard is looking at me for a few seconds, and then he asks me. "Who is your full name warrior?"

"Judah Judas Gremory."

"A Gremory?... You seem to be strong if I have to look at your aura."

"My aura?"

"Oh, yes, young wizard. You do have a strong aura. Perhaps, you are much stronger than some of our mages and wizards. I could see your double amount of mana. And I could also see your amount of most used spells..." he takes them downstairs and walk closer to me, while he uses his staff as his "third" leg. "You have used "Fireball" spells about 34 times. You have used "Vulture" 15 times. And you can also use So No Chi Sadame correctly... I am impressed."

A few people in that building, who are probably mages, were whispering to each other, probably thinking that this mage has gone senile or not believing that I can do those spells since I have 11 years. There was one guy there, who was looking at me like a predator, but the wizard quickly turned around, and that guy turned his eyes on other things, hoping that the old wizard will not catch him or most likely punish him.

"Fiona..." says the mage who is turning at Fiona and looks at her. "Is this your squire?"

"Y-Yes, Master." she says while she retrieves her sword and puts it on her back. "I will make him forget this and we could-"

"Don't worry, Fiona." says the old mage. "This little kid might be going to help us in our next mission. But first, we gotta make him join our guild."

"Guild? Fiona?! Are you in a guild?!"

"Judah." she said to me. "Don't worry. Everything it is planned."

"Planned? By whom?"

"You might want to sit down." says the old mage indicating a chair and a table where we will sit and discuss the reason why this guild exists and why King Julius let this guild function in a kingdom where initiating a guild, result in prison or execution.
