A couple of weeks had passed and everything was back to normal. The new Harpy Wing guild hall constructions had finally finished and all the Harpy's Wing members had moved over to their new home. What's more, the new guild hall had been built right in the middle of Fiore's capital and largest city, Crocus, next to Vyper Bolt's guild hall. Essentially, everything was pretty much the same, except from the mornings. Those were a little quieter; not that Nigel had a problem with that...

Although having been seriously injured, his head had been literally ripped off the rest of his body, Nigel managed to reattach it fairly quickly with the help of his nanites. Aside from that, his recovery had gone as smooth as one could hope, something that surpriced even him actually. That had been the first time he had faced such an injury so he had expected a longer recovery period. Nonetheless, after only four days, he was back in action, with Master Liem personally training him and Piper, assigning them various missions to complete. Most were Dungeon hunting missions, searching and retrieving items for a wide variety of clients. Although those kind of missions weren't particularly to his liking, Nigel didn't complain much as they payed well.

Aside from that, Nigel had made the basement of the guild hall his home, turning it into his personal laboratory and weapons development facility. He was given a huge but empty room and in a short span of time, filled it with all kinds of machinery, most of which, if not all,  being highly more advanced than every other piece of technology outside his lab.

He was at the lab, testing a new piece of equipment when Master Chak called for him. [color=skyblue][i]"Ugh..what does the master want now? I made sure to tell them not to disturb me when I'm testing a new weapon..."[/i][/color] he thought and sighed. [color=skyblue][b][i]"There's no way I will be able to concentrate now so I might as well go see what he wants..."[/i][/b][/color] he mumbled and stood up. He removed his lab coat and left the laboratory, walking upstairs to the main hall.

When he arrived he looked around and quickly found Master Chak. Alongside him was standing Piper, [color=skyblue][i]"If he called for her as well then It must only mean one thing, another dungeon hunting mission"[/i][/color] he deduced. He approached the two and greeted them before quietly listening to what Master Chak had to say.

[quote][i]"On behalf of Master Kat. Nigel, Piper. Master Kat is coming home soon. I need the both of you to decide a team four to five. We'll be designing the uniforms for the Grand Magic Games for both our guilds. Looks like in a span of week you guys have earned yourselves baby Basilisks."[/i][/quote]
[color=skyblue][b]"About time indeed.."[/b][/color] he nodded in agreement, [color=skyblue][b]"..where had she been anyway? I was away on a mission when she left and I never really got up to date as to why she left..."[/b][/color] he asked curiously. [color=skyblue][b]"As for the team that will participate in the Grand Magic Games, I agree that Revan will almost surely be in it"[/b][/color] he told them. [color=skyblue][b]"I think Kyuuten, Caroline and Cynthia should also be included in the starting five. Kyuuten and Caroline will serve as backup to Revan and Cynthia can use her White Dragon Slayer Magic to support them"[/b][/color] he paused, thinking for a bit before continuing, [color=skyblue][b]"I also think that you should be in the team. Your skills as a marksman will surely prove an invaluable asset"[/b][/color] he said while sitting down on a nearby chair, waiting for Piper's reaction.
