The sound of the wooden chair scraping against the floor startled Lynch, who was flipping through the manual. When he looked up, he met a pair of amber eyes.
A boy appeared before him, about the same age as his current appearance, with curly brown hair, wearing light leather armor, and carrying a two-handed broadsword on his back. A typical swordsman outfit.
The boy leaned on the table with one hand, sunlight danced over the sword sheath he carried through the cross window, and after observing Lynch for a moment, he suddenly reached out and poked the badge on his chest: "B-level? Can a place like El Town produce a B-level?"
Just as Lynch was about to speak, the boy had already seated himself opposite. He casually unhooked the Cross Sword from his back and placed it on the table, creating a crisp sound as the metal collided with the tabletop — marked with the flame insignia of the Feiyan City Weapons Workshop.
