Rishi accompanied Nina to the canteen for lunch; she refused to accompany him, but he persuaded her. They ate their lunch and then went to train in the training hall, where other guild members were also present.
"Everyone, a new member will join our guild," Rishi said as he entered and saw everyone busy with their training.
"I never agreed," Nina grumbled.
"You can agree later," Rishi said.
Everyone turned with a puzzled expressions. Nina was already known to Manu and Lalit, so they welcomed her, especially Lalit, who said, "Nina, you are a swordsman. Do you know what a swordsman requires the most?"
"What?" Nina asked.
"A shield that can protect a swordsman, I will be your shield, and together we will be invincible," Lalit said as he sat on one knee with a giant sword in both hands.
"I, too, am a swordsman, Lalit Bro; you've never been so eager to fight with me," Rishi said.
