Gideon looked at the large red building in front of him and couldn't help but nod in appreciation. The words CRIMSON DRAGON GUILD were imprinted above the entrance with the symbol of a red dragon in between DRA and GON. He was wearing a green t-shirt and shorts with his face mask.
Unlike the adventurer's guild, the building was very wide and only had 10 stories. This was so that you could do multiple things on one floor instead of floor by floor.
Gideon stopped wasting time and entered inside the building, he wanted to get acquainted with his new guild Mates and accept a mission.
He had also gotten the guild name inscribed on his card and the symbol changed in the adventurer's guild before coming here.
He went into the first floor and saw a male receptionist behind a red counter. The whole interior was like this.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The man asked politely. Gideon narrowed his eyes at the guy. He was a bronze ranked mage.
"Mhm, I was wondering where I could accept a mission, at the same time I wanted to see if I could speak with the other members of the guild." Hearing Gideon, the man's eyes widened.
"Oh, are you a member of the guild?"
"Yeah I just joined recently."
"Can I see your card?"
"Sure." Gideon gave the man his card and the man had a chance of countenance when he saw his alias.
"So you're poison Master? Well in that case, the guild master asked me to bring you to him when you come here." Upon hearing this, it was Gideon's turn to be surprised.
'Didn't think their evaluation of me would be so high. But at the same time, I guess no one can just request to recruit a new guild member so that Vincent from before is probably a high ranking member. I should really be thinking this stuff through.' Gideon had this thought in a split second.
"Okay then, I don't see why not." Gideon responded prompting the man to step from behind the counter and lead him to the elevator. The guild master's office was at the top floor.
The two stayed quite in the elevator until they reached the tip floor, clearly the man was way more quite than Betty from before.
A soft ding was heard as the elevator doors opened revealing a hallway that led to two large red double door.
The walked over and the receptionist opened the door revealing a large room/office. On one side there were columns of books that gave one the impression that it was a library.
But on the other side of the room, there were numerous weapons hanging on the wall on below it was a sitting room with large sofas made of expensive beast fur and a massive TV. And at the far end of the room, there was a simple desk that had books, a stapler, pen and other things you would see on an office table. But what really caught Gideon's attention was the man sitting behind the desk.
He had blood red hair and eyes with a short beard that was tried and kept neatly. There was a long scar that ran across his left eye suggesting a tough fight. His broad shoulders could easily be seen from under his red suit and he had his fingers interlaced and resting above his mouth. His eyes had locked on to Gideon like a predator stalking its prey.
Alarm bells rang in Gideon's mind as his whole body tensed. He had a feeling that he had gotten only two time before. The first time was when he was attacked by the lich on the train. The second time was when he encountered the Basilisk in the cave for the first time. It was the feeling of dread.
"So, you're the poison master that Vincent had recruited." The man said in a deep voice and the receptionist saw that as his cue to leave the room. Gideon's eyes never left the man as he nodded slowly.
The man didn't say anything and stood up from his seat showing that he was well over 6 feet tall and slowly approached Gideon who stayed rooted on the spot. The man only stopped when he was 3 meters away from him.
*BADUM*
Gideon felt his heart palpitate as an insane crashed down on him nearly causing his knees to buckle. He was sure that the room was specially made, otherwise it would've collapsed from the pressure.
Gideon's survival instincts revealed showed itself as poison aura and poison overdrive were formed as Frey and Hades were summoned into his hands.
A poison barrier surrounded him and he almost summoned Lisk but refrained himself from doing so, he wanted to see how the man would react.
"Good instincts and superb reaction time. You pass." The aura abruptly vanished stunning Gideon. He passed!?!
"Hm? Oh yeah, I wanted to see if you were as good as Vincent said and decided to test you myself. You didn't disappoint." Gideon watched as the grim and scary looking man suddenly had a friendly and welcoming demeanor.
"Haha, loosen up will you, if I truly wanted to hurt you then I would've already. Besides what kind of psycho attacks someone who wants to join their side." Upon hearing this, Gideon thought of Vincent.
"Anyway, I must say, your fighting capacity is at the peak of the silver rank, yet you're so young. It's hard to find talents like you even among the bigger cities." The man patted Gideon on the shoulder before returning to his desk, this time he leaned on the front.
"I guess you wanted to actually check the guild out right?" At this point, Gideon had calmed down and nodded. He could sense that the man had no bad intentions. And like he said, if he wanted to hurt Gideon, he would've done so already.
"Hm, alright, I can send someone to take you around and show you what we do. Is that alright?" The man asked and Gideon nodded once again.
"Not much of a talker I see. Anyway, you can go back down to the ground floor, I'll send someone to take you around." When he heard this, Gideon bowed as thanks before stepping towards the door.
"Oh yeah, my name is Boris, remember that." Gideon heard as he closed the door.
'What an odd guy.' Gideon thought.
Indeed, at the ground floor, there was some body waiting for him and the person immediately carried out her job.
It took Gideon around an hour to completely tour the place and it had pretty much all the facilities that the adventurers guild had, just a bit more compact, and red.
After the tour, Gideon immediately decided to take a mission. It had been a few days since Gideon had killed a monster and he was starting to get restless. The need to become stronger increased. He also wanted to test out his new combat style against new opponents so that he could improve it accordingly.

Victoria had her head down as she wanted to do anything possible to not aggravate the woman in front of her.
The woman was stunningly beautiful. She had long black hair that reached her slender waist and eyes of the same color. She wore a tight fitting combat suit that showed off her alluring figure. Her skin was fair like porcelain and every movement she made could hypnotize an ordinary man. But her eyes were cold, so cold that they could send chills to someone's sould just by looking at them. Her name was Sarah Kingston, Victoria's mother.
