Sho eyed Maddox who was heading towards the Master's office. [b]"Did he just..."[/b] A faint smile formed on Shoichi's face that quickly became a grin, followed by a loud burst of laughter. You could see from the first glance that the man had experience in fighting and plus, this was the first time someone had challenged Sho and not the other way around. His laughter was cut short though when Jarvis said that they should be careful about their wishes. Ignoring the bartender [b]"Well, I might as well take you up on that offer, Maddox!"[/b] Sho said out loud and downed another drink. 

Sho didn't see the girl entering the guild hall. When she walked over to the bar and asked Jarvis about joining, Sho couldn't help but look at her discreetly with the corners of his eyes. He wondered what kind of magic powers she had, she surely had to be a mage if she wanted to join a mages guild. What came as a surprise to him though was the fact that she asked for her guild mark to be placed on the back of her left shoulder. Sho had asked for exactly the same thing when he joined the guild, albeit it being on the opposite shoulder. Was it just a coincidence? 

[b]"All the second floor rooms are up for rent by the guild members. Jarvis over here handles that. I'm sure you two could strike a good deal"[/b] he said, butting in and answering the girl's question. [b]"Of course, you can always search for an apartment in town buuuut, I must warn you, Its pretty expensive even for mages like us. Anyway, my name's Shoichi, Sho for short, and I am a member of this guild. Welcome to Phoenix Wing!"[/b]
