"So are you excited knowing your about to head off into the world and start your own adventure?" Asked the man sitting next to Separ Kurel, the very man who had trained him on how to be an arcane brawler. This man was known by the name of Millon Baotes. He was incredibly buff with a tall and wide body with almost no traces of fat. His usual messy short black hair was now combed for the special occasion of sending his one and only pupil off into the world. Some scars were located all throughout his torso, and for some reason he wasn't wearing a shirt. Though most of the time he didn't have a shirt on anyways.
"Yes, I'm excited if a little nervous." Separ answered truthfully as his eyes darted around the tavern, hopping from person to person. "So where is this group of mine supposed to be at? I'm anxious to meet them. We are meeting them here right?"
"No, you're going to be meeting them here by yourself." Said Separ's teacher as he crossed his arms.
"How am I supposed to know who my group is then? You haven't told me anything about them, so I don't see how this is going to work." Separ said, a hint of skepticism in his voice.
"You know, I first started out in this town as well. I knew no one whatsoever and lived in this town for about two weeks, only spending what money I did have to sleep at an inn and drink in this very tavern. As your teacher I'd like you to experience something similar and make friends on your own to team up with, rather than rely on me introducing you to some people you may not even get along with." Separ's teacher paused for a moment and took another swig of beer.
"That's good stuff alright, just like I remembered." He muttered before continuing on where he had left off. "Anyways try to meet some people you know you'll at least somewhat get along with rather than leaving it up to chance. If I find out you left this town without forming a proper group to travel with I'll kill you for making me waste my time trying to train you." And with that Separ's teacher started to chug the entire glass of frothing beer sitting in front of him on the table.
Separ nodded at his teacher's words, and while he felt a little put off by that last line, he knew full well that was just his teacher's way of joking around. "Alright, I'll do as you say then."
"Then it's settled." And with that Millon stood up from his chair about to leave, only to immediately stop and turn around looking Separ directly in the face. "Make sure there's at least one cute girl in your group as well, okay?"
"Huh?" Was all Separ could say, before his teacher left leaving him alone at the bar table.
Separ looked around at the crowd for a moment wondering if he should talk to anyone, but decided against it. The place was kind of crowded right now, and it would probably be easier to wait until the mass of people thinned out a bit before doing anything else. Instead he opted to just admire how simple this building was. So this is what it was like to be in a small town huh? It was actually kind of peaceful. However his thoughts soon changed into imagining all the adventures he would have. Fighting monsters, saving people, becoming a hero. What a wonderful life that would be.
