Ashton woke up early, he was somewhat anticipating for the day ahead. He had joined the Demon Slaying Squad - well, the Prepatory Team at least, but it's all the same and today was his first day on the job. He quickly got dressed and headed down to the Adventurer's Guild, where the squad was based.
As he entered the guild, he saw a group of people gathered around a table, talking animatedly. They looked up as he walked in, and one of them stepped forward to greet him.
"Welcome, Ashton," said the tall, muscular man. "My name is Roderick. I'm the leader of the Prepatory Team 7."
Ashton nodded in greeting, taking in the man's impressive physique and no-nonsense demeanor.
"Nice to meet you, Team Leader," he said, his voice sounding neither servile nor arrogant.
Roderick chuckled. "Don't worry, you'll do just fine. Let me introduce you to the rest of the team."
