"Mavis, Precht, there's a bar at the edge of town. It may be a good idea to ask about Blue Skull there."

Blaire chased after both of them and the three of them headed there instantly. The younger girl held her hand, humming a song happily and Blaire smiled at her. Even though, the mage was five years older than her, they still had a strong friendship between them. They were sisters by bond.

The three of them entered the bar and everyone fell into a deep silence when their heels stepped inside. Though, many of them were staring at the beauty who seemed to be a girl from a noble family. They saw it through by the way she walked with such authoritative presence and aura. The girl ignored the stare and crinkled her nose at the smell. She hated liquors since she was a kid. Why? because it only brought damage to health.

A well-built man with muscles, a lot of muscles approached them and leaned closer to the beauty, asking her what can he do for her-snaking his arm around her waist. Blaire narrowed her eyes and her hand acted spontaneously, grabbing the hand on her waist in a second and digging her nails in the flesh. "Mind your manners, please." She calmly told the stinky breath man and let his hand go but not without a stomp on his foot.

Precht seemed impressed with her- her strength and feisty personality. Mavis held a smug face and hopped to the counter with her wavy light blonde hair bounced on every step. She looked like a moving cotton candy. Suited her, sweet and precious. The girl stood on her toes at the counter as she wasn't very tall, which always made her sad. She always sulked over it, wishing to be tall as her blonde friend.

Blaire requested to a man sitting on a stool to have a word with the owner, then followed his finger pointed at a bald man. They introduced themselves and she left out her last name, didn't want to cause a ruckus there. Being an heiress to a rich family was certainly difficult. Blaire thanked the owner for offering her a drink-picking it up and twirling it around, listening to the clank sound when the ice cubes collided to each other. Her nose sniffed the drink and a small smirk made its way to her lips.

Precht tapped his fingers on the counter and cut the chase, declaring that they were looking for Blue Skull while glancing at Mavis who was spinning around on her stool-giggling at the dizziness she got, at the back of his eyes. "Blue Skull? Nope, I haven't heard of a guild like that in these parts." The owner shook his head and Mavis stared at him suspiciously. Blaire thought for a while, wasn't Blue Skull a quite well-known guild?

"There have been so many wizard guilds popping up lately that I can't remember them all."

Blaire got it. And it seemed her friend caught it as well. The mage licked her lower lip and moved her eyes to her friend, slight nodding her head. "How did you know Blue Skull was a wizard guild? There are fighter guilds, merchant guilds, industrial guilds and many more but out of all of them, you said Blue Skull was a wizard guild. You actually do know them, don't you?"

The mage cheered for her friend internally, feeling proud of her as she was the one who taught her all of that. Through the back of her silver eyes, the girl could feel everyone in there were alerted-weapons in their hands and she guessed maybe, they were mad at them. The tension was growing and Blaire only circling her finger on the tip of her glass at the sound of bottles breaking.

The three of them were surrounded and Precht quickly sent a kick to them, grabbing the younger girl in his arm while his eyes noticed Blaire could handle herself just right.

"Get them!"

The blonde girl ducked her head, dodging a thrown chair just in time, and spun around on her stool while raising her leg to a face. She thanked the martial arts class that her father had been ordering her to go for shaping who she was now. When she first met Mavis on Tenrou and that war happened between Red Lizard and Blue Skull, she realized that, not everything could be solved with her father's power. Thus, when she went home, finally agreed to learn some martial arts.
