The story shifts back to Blaze, who is walking around the city of Dementer.
"Maybe I should go to the guild to take a mission and earn some money," Blaze thought to himself.
In short, Blaze arrived at the nearest guild to pick up and complete a mission for some money, as he was running low on funds.
"Excuse me," Blaze said as he entered the guild, which was filled with large, muscular, and intimidating individuals.
Seeing the people inside, Blaze felt a bit nervous about entering the guild.
Blaze decided to enter and head to the mission board to choose a mission that would allow him to earn money.
"What mission should I take today?" Blaze wondered as he thought about which mission to choose.
Blaze's gaze landed on a mission, but it seemed too dangerous for an individual adventurer. The mission note mentioned that it was meant for a group of adventurers, not a single person.
"I want this mission, but... I don't have a group... What should I do?" Blaze muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a large man, about 2.5 meters tall, with dark skin and a bald head, walked up to Blaze and called out to him.
"Hey... You!!" the man called.
Blaze responded.
"Did you call me?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah, what are you doing staring at the mission board for so long?" the man said.
"You're blocking the view for others!!!" the man added in a loud voice.
Blaze replied.
"I was looking at a mission to take, and there's one I want to do... Are you with a group?" Blaze asked.
"If I am, what's it to you?" the man responded.
Blaze answered.
"Then, would you and your group like to join me in completing this mission?" Blaze said, smiling and offering the mission to the man.
"What mission do you want to do?" the man asked arrogantly.
Blaze took the mission he had noticed and showed it to the man and his group.
"This one," Blaze said, placing the mission sheet on the table where the man and his group were sitting.
"Oh... Fighting the nine-headed hydra, huh?" the man said.
"Yes," Blaze replied.
"Interesting. Alright, I'll bring you into my group for this one, but if we succeed in completing the mission, we split the rewards equally. Got it?" the man said.
"Alright, I agree," Blaze answered, offering his hand for a handshake as a sign of agreement.
The man shook Blaze's hand as a sign of agreement.
"Okay, before we start the mission, let's introduce ourselves. My name is Ark Noa, just call me Ark. These are my two friends, they're both women," Ark said.
"Yaho... My name is Lisa Ririsa, just call me Lisa. I'm an archer with the Wind Element," said one of the women in Ark's group.
"Ha...ha... Hello... My name is Misa Ririsa, just call me Misa. I'm a close-range fighter, I use small swords in both hands to attack my opponents with the Wind Element. I'm Lisa's older sister, and I hope we can work together," she said shyly.
"Hahaha... Misa is a bit shy, but she's a kind person and a strong sister, especially when her little sister is in danger," Ark said.
"Oh... you all have cool elemental powers. By the way, what's your elemental power, Ark?" Blaze asked.
"My elemental power? It's the Earth Element. I can create weapons from the earth, and I'm the main damage dealer in our group. What about your power, Blaze?" Ark asked.
"I have the Fire Element. I can produce fire from my entire body and attack anywhere. If I lose control, I can unleash black fire if I get really angry," Blaze said.
"Oh... Can you show us?" Ark asked.
"I can't, I'm not angry right now," Blaze answered, smiling slightly.
Suddenly, Ark threw a punch at Blaze, but fortunately, it missed.
"What are you doing, Ark?!" Blaze shouted.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see if being attacked suddenly would trigger your black fire power," Ark explained.
"Sorry if I surprised you," he added.
"It's fine, no harm done," Blaze said, laughing a little.
"Alright, let's go," Blaze said.
"Before that, we need to report our mission and group to the guild staff," Lisa said.
"Right, and speaking of groups, what should we name our group?" Misa asked.
"Why not just use your previous group name?" Blaze asked.
"We can't!! Our group name was 3 in 1, but with you here, it wouldn't be 3 in 1 anymore, it would be 4 in 1. We need to come up with a new name for our group," Ark replied.
"I have an idea. How about 'The Tip of The Shuriken'? Since there are four of us and a shuriken has four points, I think it suits us, especially since shurikens are cool weapons," Blaze suggested.
"Hmm... That's a good name, I agree," Lisa said.
"Ah... I agree too," Misa added.
"Hmmm... Alright, I agree too. Our group name is now 'The Tip of The Shuriken'," Ark said, accepting Blaze's suggestion.
"Alright, it's time to register our group with the guild and then we can start the mission," Blaze said.
"Yoo....!!!" the members of 'The Tip of The Shuriken' group said.
"We'd like to register our group to take the mission to defeat the nine-headed hydra," Ark said.
"Here's the form, please fill it out with your group members' names and the group name. Thank you," the guild staff said.
"Alright," Ark replied.
After some time spent filling out the form, it was finally completed.
"Here you go," Ark said, handing the form to the guild staff.
"Alright, your adventurer group name is 'The Tip of The Shuriken,' with members Ark Noa, Misa Ririsa, Lisa Ririsa, and Blaze. You've taken the mission to defeat the nine-headed hydra. Everything is in order. Good luck with your mission, adventurers," the guild staff said.
"Thank you. Well then, we'll be going now. Are you all ready?" Blaze asked.
"We're ready whenever you are, bro," Ark replied.
"Same," the Ririsa sisters said.
"Now... let's go!" Blaze shouted.
"Let's go!!" all the members of 'The Tip of The Shuriken' group replied.
