**Isadora's Residence**
Isadora's father, Mr. Vasconcelos, is sitting in the living room, examining a letter from the guild that has just arrived. He frowns as he reads its contents. Isadora is in her room, relaxing after a tiring day.
**Mr. Vasconcelos (calling):** Isadora! Come here, please.
Isadora sighs, feeling slightly irritated, and walks down the stairs to the living room.
**Isadora (curious):** What is it, Dad?
Mr. Vasconcelos holds up the letter and looks at her with a stern expression.
**Mr. Vasconcelos (serious):** Your guild letter just arrived. You've been placed in Class D, Rank 3. Care to explain this?
Isadora rolls her eyes, crossing her arms.
**Isadora (arrogant):** Dad, I did my best. They are very demanding in the physical tests. But I did very well in the intelligence exam.
**Mr. Vasconcelos (rigorous):** Class D, Rank 3 is not good enough, Isadora. If it were at least Class D, Rank 1, it would be a bit more acceptable. I expected more from you. We need to maintain high standards.
Isadora narrows her eyes, clearly irritated.
**Isadora (defensive):** Dad, do you think I don't know that? I will improve and climb the ranks. You don't need to remind me all the time.
Mr. Vasconcelos stands up, his expression even more serious.
**Mr. Vasconcelos (rigorous):** Isadora, it's not just about improving. It's about being the best. You have all the resources and support. I don't accept mediocrity. You need to excel in everything you do.
**Isadora (determined):** I know, Dad. I'll show you that I can be the best. Just give me some time.
**Mr. Vasconcelos (firm):** Time is something you don't have much of. Use the resources you have, train more, do whatever it takes. We can't accept anything less than excellence.
**Isadora (determined):** I'll do it. You'll see.
**Mr. Vasconcelos (rigorous):** I hope so. I don't want to have this conversation again. Now, go rest. Tomorrow is a new day for you to start improving.
Isadora turns her back and walks up the stairs again, the weight of her father's expectations heavy on her shoulders.

**Scene: Isadora's Residence**
Isadora is in her room, restless and irritated after the conversation with her father. She decides she needs to get out and clear her head. Silently, she opens the window and jumps out, landing softly in the garden. She hurries to leave the house without being noticed.

**Scene: Abandoned House**
Isadora walks towards an abandoned house, far from the city. Upon arriving, she finds a place to sit, letting her thoughts flow.
**Isadora (thoughtful):** Class D, Rank 3... I can't believe I ended up there. I deserved much more.
She sighs, lost in her thoughts, when she hears footsteps approaching. Looking around, she sees a young stranger approaching with a mischievous smile.
**Chopinho (casual):** Hey there, girl. What are you doing alone in this deserted place?
Isadora stares at him, suspicious and alert.
**Isadora (cold):** Who are you and what do you want?
**Chopinho (smiling):** Relax, I'm just chilling. I saw you here alone and thought you might want some company. You know, this place can be a bit dangerous.
**Isadora (suspicious):** I don't need company, especially from someone I don't know. Leave.
**Chopinho (laughing):** Wow, so hostile! I just wanted to chat. What brought you to this dump?
**Isadora (arrogant):** None of your business. I just want to be alone.
Chopinho moves closer, ignoring Isadora's resistance.
**Chopinho (insistent):** Okay, okay. I know it's not my business, but sometimes talking to someone helps. Maybe I can give you some tips?
**Isadora (skeptical):** Tips? What are you talking about?
**Chopinho (smiling):** Well, I heard there's a new bunch in the guild. Maybe you're one of them. I'm in the guild too, Class D, Rank 13. And you?
**Isadora (cold):** None of your business.
**Chopinho (laughing):** Alright, alright, sorry. Just trying to be nice.
**Isadora (sighing):** Fine, I'm Class D, Rank 3. Happy now?
**Chopinho (smiling):** Now we're talking! See, we already have something in common. We can help each other, climb the ranks together. How about that?
Isadora narrows her eyes, even more suspicious.
**Isadora (suspicious):** And why would you help me? What's in it for you?
**Chopinho (sly):** Look, I'll be honest. In this life, we gotta help each other to get ahead. I help you, you help me. Simple as that. And who knows, we might become friends? Powerful friends can be very useful, right?
Isadora ponders for a moment, still suspicious but intrigued by what Chopinho might offer.
**Isadora (resolute):** Alright, tell me more. But if you try anything, you'll regret it.
**Chopinho (laughing):** Relax, princess. I'm just a guy trying to help. Let's talk.
Isadora remains wary but feels a bit more comfortable knowing that Chopinho is also a member of the guild.
**Isadora (alert):** Okay, but what kind of help are you talking about?
**Chopinho (smiling):** Look, there are things we can do to climb the ranks faster. Training, the right missions, that kind of stuff. I know the tricks.
**Isadora (suspicious):** Tricks? I'm not doing anything illegal.
**Chopinho (laughing):** Relax, girl. I'm not talking about anything illegal. Just some tips to make life easier. Trust me, it'll be worth it.
**Isadora (reluctant):** Fine, I'll think about it. But don't expect me to trust you that easily.
**Chopinho (calm):** Fair enough. Let's see where this goes.
Isadora, still on alert but a bit more open to the idea of an unlikely alliance, starts to listen to Chopinho's ideas and plans, trying to decide if it's worth trusting him.
Isadora is still suspicious when she hears muffled whispers and laughter coming from somewhere nearby. She frowns, trying to locate the source of the sound.
**Isadora (alert):** What's that noise? Who else is here?
Chopinho, trying to stay calm, gives a sly smile.
**Chopinho (calm):** Relax, girl. It must be the wind. This place always makes weird noises.
**Isadora (suspicious):** It doesn't sound like the wind. Who's there?
Outside, hidden in the shadows, are Basoto, Zoupouli, Natan, Jujulo, and Tofo. They are whispering among themselves.
**Basoto (whispering):** We should attack now, before she realizes!
**Natan (whispering):** Calm down, we have to wait for Chopinho's order. He's in charge.
**Jujulo (whispering):** Shhh! You're making too much noise!
Isadora stands up, her suspicion growing.
**Isadora (cold):** I'm serious, who's there? Show yourselves!
Chopinho, realizing that Isadora is about to discover his accomplices, tries to distract her.
**Chopinho (nervously laughing):** Ah, you're seeing things, girl. There's no one here but us.
Suddenly, the noise from the accomplices becomes too loud to ignore. Isadora turns towards the sound, her senses on high alert.
**Isadora (angry):** You lied! Who's there? Show yourselves now!
Chopinho starts laughing, seeing there's no point in hiding anymore.
**Chopinho (laughing):** Okay, okay, girl. Relax. My buddies and I just wanted to have some fun. Hey, guys, you can come out now!
Basoto, Zoupouli, Natan, Jujulo, and Tofo emerge from their hiding spots, surrounding Isadora. She prepares to fight, confused and angry.
**Isadora (confused and angry):** What do you want? Why are you surrounding me?
**Chopinho (laughing):** You're such a fool, you know that? We just wanted to see if you're as tough as you say. But it looks like you fell for it.
Isadora clenches her fists, her anger rising.
**Isadora (determined):** You think you can intimidate me? You're very mistaken!
Chopinho signals to his accomplices.
**Chopinho (arrogant):** Let's see if you can get out of this, princess. Attack!
The accomplices move towards Isadora, but she is ready to face any challenge.
