Gravis stood up, walked to the entrance, and opened it. He saw two young men who were about as big as him, yet looked entirely different. One carried a big axe and had brown, brutish hair, while the other had a sword hanging from his waist and hat blonde hair tied in a ponytail. The man with the axe was muscular, and Gravis could see his muscles through his clothes. The other guy seemed refined and carried a smile.

The man with the axe grinned in disdain. "I've heard that a new guy with incredible strength joined our guild," then he laughed loudly. "But you really-"

"What do you want?" Gravis cut him off.

The man with the axe got angry and wanted to say something, but the other one gestured for him to be quiet. "The previous owner of the house is the younger brother of our leader, and he has been living here for-"

"Get to the point," Gravis interrupted again. He didn't want to waste more time here.

That was not the reaction they anticipated. Weren't new guys supposed to ask and learn about the guild and how it worked around here?

The man with the axe exploded and banged on the door with his fist, multiple times. After some seconds, the door opened again, and Gravis looked at them with annoyance.
