[color=fff200]"She seems like if she is a whole load of fun. I'm just wondering what a microvirgin is?"[/color] Garret couldn’t help but stumble for half a second as he hears the older guy ask him about what the spear girl had called them. Luckily, with him soon after introducing himself, Garret took that chance to keep from trying to give an explanation for the previous comment. [color=Green]“My name is Garret. Nice to meet you Fredrick. Even if the way we met was through a rather strange circumstance.”[/color] _____________________________________ [color=Green][i]Well… if there was any doubt in me left about this whole summoned to another world business, I believe this confirms it,[/i][/color] Garret finds himself thinking as he takes his stand with the others in front of what seems to be a young king. Younger than all 4 of them, if he had to wager from his looks. After the king introduced himself and asked them for their names, the sword guy introduced himself in a straight, no nonsense tone, as Cole Smith. After him came spear girl, who boldly declared herself Rin Matsunaga and an apparent leader of a gang in Japan. Garret felt the sweat drop on his forehead as she finished up her introduction. While he certainly didn’t mind her confident attitude, her brazen talk reminds him of some zany bullies from various anime he’s seen over the years. It was then he realized he was next in line, turning back to facing the king and looking him in the eye. [color=Green]“I’m Garret Lancaster. I too, hail from the United States, where I worked part time at a local tavern as I attended university. I’m 20, since everyone else so far has mentioned it. As I’m sure it obvious, I’m apparently the ‘Shield Hero’,”[/color] he adds, lifting up the shield on his arm to present it to room. After doing so, he then ended his introduction, letting Fredrick introduce himself. The King then went on, giving more details to the situation as a whole to them. Clearly, things are definitely going to hectic with the coming ‘Waves’ they were called to fight. Garret swallows at the thought of all the fighting and the monsters they will see. His mind shifted away from that as another man stepped up and informed them on how to check their status. This certainly got him curious about what stats he has, so with a bit of excitement, he opens the window. He could only blink to himself as he looks at the stats before him. While not surprising, it was quite obvious that his defensive stats looked really solid for being level one. But it was when he looked at the strength stat, or lack thereof more aptly, that he felt concerned. [color=Green][i]I know I’m called the shield hero, but shouldn’t a hero class have more strength than this?![/i][/color] He sighs to himself at that. He’s certainly got his work cut out for him with stats like these. It was a least a little comforting that they all were going to get training from Mr. Marcino before the coming battle. Maybe with that, he’ll know more about what this shield can actually do. It was then announced they would not be alone. Turning to the opening door, a sizable group of people stepped into the room. It would seem they were here to become party members to the heros after they had been summoned. The thought that there would be those to back him up was comforting, though there was a certain weight that came with it too. Those that joined him were placing their faith in him to look after them as much as he would be placing his own in them to fight beside him. To maybe even die in one of the waves. He feels a chill with that thought.
