Chereads / Successor of The Sacred Magic / Chapter 9 - Is it always like this?

Chapter 9 - Is it always like this?

The girls, which is Ashley, Theresa, and Celine were joking with each other, while walking towards the guild. "You guys seem fine. We wouldn't have to worry then!" Hector said when he sees them, "Of course! We're good!" Ashley said giving him a thumbs up. "Um…I think I will join." Celine said shyly, "Are you?! Horray!" Ashley cheered jumping around, "Good to hear!" Hector grinned, "Let's tell master!" Theresa said running in the guild to talk to master Fang.

"Hm? A new member? Where?" Master Fang asks who is drinking on the bar, "Here she is! Would you mind introducing yourself?" Theresa asks smiling at her, "Sure. My name is Celine Apocalypse. It's nice to meet you master of Fiery Spirit!" Celine said bowing 45 degrees, master Fang chuckle when she bowed, he pats her shoulder and said, "No need to bow young lady. Now tell me, what is your magic?" He asks smiling warmly.

"Um. My magic works like an x-ray." Celine said nervously. Master Fang nods "Do you know any offense magic?" He ask, "well, not really, but I can do martial arts, and use daggers well." Celine said, "I see. You're in." Master Fang smile, Celine look surprised before bowing again, "Thank you! Thank you!" She said in pure happiness. "Zhask! Get this young lady the pin!" Master Fang called, a man approaches them shortly, holding a pin.

"Here you go miss, it changes color as you desire." He said politely, Celine clips the pin on her jackets, on her left chest, the color then changes to purple with a blazing Fiery Spirit logo.

"Yeay! New member!" Ashley cheered, getting the entire guild attention. The guild immediately raised their arms or beers they're holding, greeting her at the same time "Welcome! New member!" the cheering is enough to make Celine's heart race, she never feels this happy before "Mhm! Hope we'll get along well!" Celine bow, the happiness is overwhelming.

"Come on, come on! Celebrate with us!" Ashley grinned putting her arms around her, "Stop it, you're scaring her." Zeolite said approaching them holding a juice, he offered it to Celine, she gladly accepts it, "Hee? You don't have one for me?" Ashley pout sadly, "New members are special, you on the other hand, Take it yourself." Zeolite said annoyed, "So mean!" Ashley whine.

"Such a wild party going on." Akane said who is watching them partying from the second floor, "Mhm, I can't even focus on my project." Senov said a hint of annoyances in his voice, he is making a robot using his magic, "Psh, take it easy, you can do it later." Akane said in a joking manner, she's leaning on her chair, a single kick in the chair leg would make her fall. "I'll have to make this as soon as possible." Senov said concentrating on his project.

"So when that's done, you can go summoning bots when we're on a mission?" Akane ask getting curious about how the robots work, "Yes, as long as my mana didn't run out. Now let me work on it." Senov said he's writing something on his notebook on how the progress goes. "Fine by me." Akane said closing her eyes.

"Hey! You two! Come join us!" Senjou approaches them holding beers in her two hands, "Nah, party is not for me." Akane said, she returned her chair to its normal position, all four chair legs on the floor, not two. "But a drink would be nice." She said a smirk formed on her face. "Nice! Tsundere boy! Want some?" Senjou ask while cheers with Akane. "Just get me a wine. Now scram!" Senov said glaring at her.

"Aww, look who's pissed, be right back!" Senjou said teasing him then goes downstairs to get some wine.

5 hours has passed since the party started. As Hector and the other decide to go home.

"Man, I'm tired!" Hector groaned cracking his neck, "Good things that we're underage. So they won't force us to drink with them." Zeolite sigh, closing his eyes, "Welp, it's pretty crowded." Ashley shrugs, the whole guild members are drunk some pass out and some already go home, alcohol lingering around on the guild. "Let's go, I can't handle the smells of alcohol." Theresa said scrunching her nose.

"But is it okay to leave them like this?" Celine ask a hint of worries in her voice, "Yep! We always like this when there are new members! Please bear with our behaviors!" Hector smile, trying to comfort her, "I see." Celine nods in understanding. "Where the hell is Arkus anyway?" Ashley ask noticing Arkus is not on Hector's shoulder nor head.

"Right. Where is that brat?" Hector ask looking around, "Did you just call me a brat?!" A familiar voice shouted. The other look at their left and see Arkus on his 2nd form, he headbutts his master directly on the stomach, Hector didn't notice him before so he can't dodge in time, he falls to the ground passed out.

Hector soul appeared above his body, holding his fingers to a peace sign, just about to fly away, until Ashley shove his soul back to his body, as he instantly woke up. "Ouch, what the hell? That's hurt!" He said to Arkus who stood proudly, he then stares at Ashley confused, since when did she in front of him?

"Oh good, you're back." Ashley said grinning, "Are you okay Hector?" Celine ask still doesn't get how they usually is. "he's fine, we're sometimes always like this." Theresa giggles, she herself is pretty confused when this usually happened, but got used to it.

"Don't call me a brat ever again!" Arkus whines transforming to his usual form and jumps at his face, "Ow! Ow! Not on the face! Your dirty paws!" Hector shout, feelings Arkus paws on his face.

"Then we'll be going!" Ashley said waving, Theresa, and Celine beside her. "Good night mister Zeolite!" Celine said, "Don't call me that, just call me by my name." Zeolite said feeling old when she called him a mister. "O-Okay!" Celine said a little surprised.

They separate to go to their own home, well, Ashley still wants a sleepover, and Celine doesn't have her own house yet. So yeah, more sleepover.

A cloaked person stands in front of Fiery Spirit, "Damn, I miss a party." They sigh, they come in the guild and see the mess the guild does. "As always, I like the wildness on this guild." They chuckle leaning on the table. "…Oh. Zero. You've returned." Master Fang who just woke up, Zero pulled down his cloak. "Hello master, how's your little sleep feels?" Zero asked, giving him a friendly smile.
