The Ancients World

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Docking at The City of Techart, Royal Airship)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:22 AM)~~~

When I woke up yesterday and started having breakfast, I didn't think we'd arrive a few hours ahead of schedule. But this is fine, I've made it to my last tier-up quest location, and once I'm done here, I won't have to spend a crapload of time catching up on tier-up quests. Now that I'm almost fully awake, I lean up in my bed and stretch.

We're docking at the port in Techart, and pretty soon, it'll be time to get off. The Captain of the ship has to talk with the local authorities before I can get off. This was an unscheduled stop, and that comes with some confirmation problems. "Gives me some time to have breakfast..." The idea of heading down to the dining hall instead of eating in my room sounds nice.

It doesn't take me long, but I arrive at the dining hall, and everyone is already in the kitchen. As I approach, they all start getting into a position to start working. "I'd like 3 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 4 bacon. With some hashbrowns too." My order is taken, and everyone in the dining has started doing their part. I make my way over to the table next to the massive window.

The City of Techart is very big and has a capacity of holding up to 1.5 million people. Most Capitals hold up to 4.5 to 5.5 million. So in comparison, Techart isn't that big, but it's still impressive as hell. "Look at all those people down there..." I have a good look at the docks, and there are several guards ordained in armor. All led by a Commander.

The Captain of the Royal Airship is talking with the Commander, and all I can see from this high up is their folded arms. "I can't help wondering what they're talking about... The obvious is me, but it shouldn't take that long to justify why I'm here." The politics aren't something I'm getting involved in, but I doubt I'll go undisturbed in my stay here.

The Adventurers Guild has been trying to track me down for a while. Likely to recruit me, and they haven't had any success to this point. But Techart has an Adventurers Guild branch, and I can already see that I'll have to deal with them. Literally. I can see a group from the local Adventurers Guild branch join in the conversation.

My looking down at them is interrupted as a fresh, hot meal is placed in front of me. Along with all the condiments to go with it. "Will that be all, Ms. Adamo?" I nod my head, and the waiter takes off. Leaving me to enjoy the meal. I look back out the window as I eat, and the leader of the Adventurers is starting to argue with the Commander. 

What for, I can only surmise it has to do with who gets to talk to me first. And subsequently asks for my help or allegiance. From the looks of it, their conversation will be a while, so there's no need to rush through my meal. "It's freaking early for so many people to be up..." There is a crowd starting to form behind the guards, and most are Players, or NPCs turned Players.

<br/>Anyone with a Class Grade over Epic is considered a celebrity to many. Even though once you reach Legacy Grade, you start getting exclusive one-of-a-kind Classes. Since I'm a Legendary Class holder, it makes sense that I draw such a crowd. "Marcus would do the same... He's as popular, if not more than I am..." Marcus is well known too. Mom and dad are known, but not as our parents.

Cera was right in wanting to make it seem like none of us are related and that we're all just friends. I didn't think to avoid the problems that could occur if people knew. I'm glad that Cera did. "He's always one step ahead... Even with his future knowledge, it's still something strange to see..." I don't think I've ever seen something that Cera predicted go wrong.

That's incredibly useful, and something that I didn't think I'd ever say. I'd never tell him that. I still need to get him back for the pranks he pulled on me. My attention is taken as the leader of The Adventurers group draws his sword and points it at the Commander. It looks like the Commander sighs and draws his sword. They're starting a Duel.

People step back, including the Captain and a small shield starts to form around the two. "This is a great show to have in the morning." It feels strange having someone fight over me. Not in the romantic sense, which I'm a little sad about. I'd love to have two guys fight over me for romance, but that won't happen. I don't think it will.

This Duel their having is one to determine who gets the chance to talk to me first. "How selfish of them not to get my input, but I'll enjoy it nonetheless..." The men take up stances with their weapons as the counter comes to zero, and as the Duel starts, they both charge forward and locks blades. I can't tell what they're saying to each from here, but it's making both of them scowl.

I'm halfway done with all my food, and the Duel they're having seems to be even. The Captain turns around and comes back up the loading ramp, and I lose sight of him halfway up. "He's probably coming to talk to me." The Duel continues on, and as I finish my food, the Captain enters the dining hall and makes his way toward me.

He takes off his hat as he approaches and gulps down some building saliva. "You're free to exit the Airship at any time, but I suggest that you do it after they're finished with their Duel." That's not a problem for me. In fact, I'd like to witness it in person. I tell the Captian I'm going to watch from up close, and I leave the dining hall and make my way to the ramp leading outside the ship.

They both stop for a moment in their Duel to look at me, and then they look at each other with renewed energy and confidence. I'm standing on the dock on the opposite side of everyone else, and the clash of their blades is loud. Sparks are flying as they're moving and attacking at high speeds. Not fast enough to compete with me, but fast.

~~~(POV: Commander Eren)~~~

~~~(Location: Dueling Adventurer Guild Branch leader Chris, Docks of Techart)~~~

~~~(TimeL 6:07 AM)~~~

Chris has become strong since he's become a Player, but so have I. There isn't any way I'm losing this Duel, and I'm not going to let them have a chance to talk to her. We need Ms. Adamo's help, and she's the only that has the strength to help us. "Just give it up, Eren! There will be another chance to talk to her after I'm done!!" Chris wants her to join The Adventurers Guild.

Monopolizing another powerful individual and charge the city exuberant fees to use her services. "That's not happening, Chris. Techart is done with The Adventurers Guild. Especially after you failed!!" They're the reason we're in this situation. The reason that we have to turn to Ms. Adamo. It's insulting they're even here right now.

Ms. Adamo is watching calmly from the sides as if evaluating the Duel that's going on. Compared to her, we're both weak and relatively useless. It shows how powerful she is, given that we're considered vital to the city. "You speak as if you don't hold any of the blame, Eren!!" Here comes this song and dance. This Duel needs to end and end fast.
