The promised day has arrived. Noah, Oda and Xander were already getting ready from dawn. The three of them sat side by side facing the rising sun. "The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived" Xander said to Noah and Oda. "Yeah," said Oda. "What's wrong Noah?" Xander asked. " 'sigh' Today is the first step of my dream," said Noah. "Hmm?" Xander's confused voice. "It's hard to explain, my heart is beating pretty fast. I think I'm really excited.but i can't express it" Noah said in an flat tone. "Do y'all have any dreams?" Noah asked them both. Oda and Xander were silent for a while in thought. "I don't think so," said Oda. "Yeah, it doesn't seem i have dream or something, it's just i feel my life just goes with the flow" said Xander who agreed with Oda. "Then how about we explore this world together?" asked Noah, who invited them. "Hmm, I still don't know," said Xander. "But, since I don't have a dream, it doesn't look bad either" Xander said. "Yeah, i think that's a good idea, i mean i'm just gonna follow your dream to explore this world. that sounds exciting" said Oda with a smile. "then, it's a promise?" ask Noah. " yeah, it is" said Oda and Xander in the same time.
"Hey, wake up" said Xander who woke up Kervil. "HOI!, HOI!!" said Xander who then kicked Kervil. "This motherfu*ker.." said Xander who felt annoyed. "Hey, Wake up!!" said Xander who then kicked Kervil hard. Kervil was shocked and immediately got up. "Damn it, why did you wake me up like that?" Kervil asked. "Get up, get ready, we will leave in a moment" said Xander who then left Kervil. Everyone at the dining table was eating breakfast together.
"Y'all will go today, right??" Salsa asked them. "Yeah it is" said Noah, Xander and Oda at the same time. "Are you excited?" asked Salsa again, "maybe" said the three of them. "You've been living together for a year, and it feels like y'allo are getting closer," Gravy said to the three of them. The three of them just continued eating. "You guys are going to Vrona right? meet the friends you met during the tournament, it must be fun" said Salsa, "yahs, if Noah didn't propose to form a party at that time, maybe we wouldn't have met each other again" said Xander.
"Is there anything you hope for, when you meet them again?" asked Salsa, "nothing really" said Xander. "I hope they all get stronger," said Noah. "I hope they all get sane," said Oda. "Hahahaha" laughed Salsa and Gravy heard Noah and Oda's answer. "Oi Oda, who is the crazy person in our group?" asked Xander. "What kind of normal people would want to form a group after they tried to kill each other" said Oda. "well when you think about it, it's true," said Xander.
"Come on, let's finish our breakfast. We're going to the station right?" said Xander who told them to eat. They all ate until they were done, Noah, Kervil Oda and Xander then prepared the things they would bring. "You're going to bring your weapon right???" asked Kervil to the three of them. "Yeah" they answered. "Aren't you scared?" asked Kervil, "afraid? Afraid of what?" asked Oda. "The first job you guys did failed miserably, and you got a serious wound. Aren't you afraid of meeting bigger problems?" asked Kervil. "What keeps people from progressing is fear. If you can't overcome your fear, you won't be able to move forward" said Noah with confidence.
After getting ready, they stood behind the door to say goodbye to Noah's family. "You guys want to go, huh?" asked Salsa, "yes" Noah answered shortly. Salsa then calls Gravy and Anna to say goodbye to Noah who is leaving. "Be careful, maybe you will face a big problem. Don't be in a hurry, do it calmly and carefully." Gravy said to the four of them. "As for Oda, Xander and Kervil, maybe we've only met for a while. But, whenever you want to come here, you will always be welcome" said Salsa, "and for you Noah, I hope you succeed in realizing your dream" said Salsa. "Good luck" Anna said to the four of them. "Come on Anna, don't hold back. Maybe we'll never see him again," said Salsa. Anna then hugged Noah, "after you realize your dream, go home immediately" said Anna who hugged Noah. Noah also hugged Anna, "of course" Noah said with a smile. "I want to be hugged too" said Xander and Oda who were then hit by Noah.
"Okay, we're leaving" Noah said to Gravy, Salsa and Anna. "Be careful" they replied. Noah and the others then headed towards the station. "The train destination to f Vrona will depart in 1 minute" the station announced. "That's our destination train," said Xander. "Yes, this day has finally arrived," said Noah, then they got into the carriage. The journey took about 2 hours, from where they came from. The clock shows 12 noon. "Finally we arrived" Xander said while stretching his body. "From here we will go to the tournament venue" said Oda then they went to the tournament venue which was held 1 year ago.
everyone had gathered, they all seemed to be waiting for Noah and the others. Noah and the others then come to meet them. "Wow, here it is, the person who invited us to gather,he even came here last," said Mitrik. "Sorry, sorry," said Noah. "Oh, Rassley, have your wounds increased?" Noah asked. "Yeah, I've been training continuously for a year. rather than that, who is it?" asked Rassley. "Oh, this is our new member. I met him at work, he seems quite strong" said Noah who introduced Kervil. "hello, my name is Kervil, I was invited by Noah. Please cooperate," said Kervil, "uwah, this guy got many scars. he's not a bad guy isn't he??" tought Kervil while introduced himself. "what's this? I've never heard of it," said Mitrik. "Yes of course, this is a surprise for you" Noah said with a smile. "Uwah, this person never changes," said Mitrik who looked annoyed then hit Noah's head.
Noah looked around, "Oh!," said Noah who was surprised. "You cut your hair, didn't you?" said Noah looking at the short-haired Carmine. "yeah, do you have anything to say??" asked Carmine, "no, it looks good on you. You look prettier," said Noah with a smile. Carmine couldn't help but remain silent with a face that looked like he was confused after hearing Noah speak. "Vome, you haven't changed are you?" Noah asked with a smile. "do you expecting something?" asked Vome sarcastically. "No," Noah answered simply. With this we are all gathered. "Now let's go to the Guild," said Noah who led them. All of them went to the Guild in Vrona.
They filled out the registration form. "hmm… who will be the leader??" Noah asked. "Of course you are" Xander said. "eh? Why me??" Noah asked. "You are the one who took us on an adventure, of course you will be the leader," said Mitrik. "Quite logical," said Noah, nodding and holding his chin. "BUT...aren't I one of the youngest in our group?" said Noah, "so?" Mitrik asked. "It's not that the one who become leader is the one who have the most experience beetween team?" said Noah, "like Rassley, for example, he seems to have a lot of experience," said Noah. "No, I'm not fit to be leader," said Rassley. "why??" Noah asked, "I don't fit into the image for our group" said Rassley, "I-I know what you mean, i'm sorry" Noah said. "Why don't you just accept it? You are smart and strong," said Oda. "Hmm?" Noah's confused voice. "We can look for experiences together. And if you don't be the leader, it feels like you can refute what the leader says later, so it's best if this team got led by your opinion." Xander said. "Quite logical," said Noah, nodding. "Well, because there is no choice, I will be the chairman," said Noah.
