After walking for a subtly long distance they finally arrived at a safe point,in that floor's tower there was a little unknown town formed at that safe point with an approximately 200 inhabitants,normally towns are formed at starting points to provide safety at tired climbers but they also serve as a living place for those who gave up on climbing the tower.
Upon reaching the gates to the safe zone they met two people they weren't wearing any heavy armor in particular just a leather shirt they all carried a long one handed sword,they all introduced themselves as the guards that protect the safe zone,as they got inside they were astonished to see these many people since yurian lived in the top of some unknown cliff in an unknown place while Takeshi doesn't remember shit so it was a new experience for the duo.
As they wandered aimlessly they bumped into a slightly tall muscular man he had short black hair,the man angrily grabbed Takeshi by the collar and raised him feet dangling in the air and all and angrily started accusing him "Hey! You just dirtied my adamantite armor you know how much this costs" Yurian who was standing beside him interrupted the man by saying "Can't you just let it slide this once" the man irritated gazed at Yurian with an intimidating look "Hey kid! Do you have a death wish? Can't you see an adult is talking"
Yurian started to get irritated and the feeling was mutual to Takeshi too.
Takeshi was getting tired of this bullshit,at the moment there he entertained the thought of just killing him right then and there,as he was about to go through with his intrusive thoughts a woman appeared she had blue hair with red eyes her hair was particularly long as she made a ponytail while some of the hair covered her left eye,she also wore armor but it was different from the knights he found at the entrance of the town since her armor was particularly made of some kind of steel which none of the two had no idea which one, anyways the woman slowly walked towards their direction while slowly unsheathing her sword,she had a menacing aura around her "I suggest you stop that unless you want to piss off the Heaven's wing knight order" the man upon hearing that knight order quickly realised Takeshi and sacredly backed off and ran "what a coward" Takeshi thought.

After the guy took off running the lady knight sheathed her sword back in and offered her hand lifting Takeshi who was now on the floor "you seemed in quite the predicament but now that I closely look at you guys you didn't seem to need my help" Takeshi accepting her lifted himself up "honestly I'm glad someone came to stop him he was starting to get on my nerves,oh! Seems like we forgot to introduce ourselves I'm yurian and this is my partner Takeshi" the lady thought for a little while then continued their conversation "hmm strange,I've never heard of your names before must be new here"
"Yeah we just reached this area a little while ago" the lady started thinking for a little and added a suggestion "why not go to the guild?" "The what?" Takeshi added,"the guild it might benefit you to go to that place since you guys are new I'll guide you there myself" yurian was relieved"Thank you miss knight"
"It's Raia,call me Raia"said the woman,"oh okay miss Raia lead the way".
It was not a long distance away,they chatted on the way there until they reached their destination at that point Raia waved them goodbye and went on her own way,the boys slowly opened the huge doors heading inside,the inside was crowded with species of all kind the elves,beastkin,dwarves and humans ,they approached the counter were they were greeted by an elf lady who introduced herself as one of the secretaries helping the needs of climbers,there they got some of their questions answered and they were in formed that the ascension trial-trials which allow you to ascend to the upper floor will start in two weeks,in the meantime they had to wait but there was one problem at hand,they had no points, points are basically the currency used inside the tower and they had none, points can be accumulated by completing the ascension trials and since these two didn't go through the first floor trial the had zero points in possession,they had no way other than completing commissions from the guild, sometimes people put requests in exchange for points and the accepted requests become commissions,the problems with commissions tend to offer very small amount of points but the duo were in no position to be picky and thus they accepted their first commission to gather medicinal herbs from a nearby forest in exchange for 6 points they accepted it thus started their first commission.
