*Answering each previous question asked by Arlean, Akasha would have stated:*
 
"Oh! Free Companies. Are they free to hire? Free as in freedom?"
 
"Hmm, maybe? I never thought too deeply about their naming before.."
 
"There's more knights here than civilians... Is this a city of the knight?"
 
"Sort of. This whole block represents the Knights of Firmament HQ."

"There are a lot of other races in the Knights aside from Macenlikes. As you see before in the hall, we're not discriminating against other races, so long they are capable." *Akasha chimed in the stead of the captain.*
 
*She would signal for Arlean to see inside the weapon sword with her eyes. Visible from outside, the one who is running the premise behind the counter is not a macenlike. With a larger body, green skin, and tusks, it was a mogash. It must be noted that the plate of the shop is decorated with the crest of the Knights of Firmament, which means that it is under its wing.*

"Yes, son. I do not mean it in a literal sense, jolly no. It seems that you're unfamiliar with the expression of western language, eh?"
 
*Alphonse said with a friendly old-man esque smile. It seems that it wouldn't be strange for an old man of his age to refer to a younger man like Arlean with 'son'. He stroked his beard while his eyes gauged the fox up and down. In his opinion, although his mannerism lacks certain confidence, he is certainly talented. He just needs to polish his determination for the making of a great knight material.*
 
"Hoho, it's not an impossible matter to settle. Silnaria would know better than to protect those who have committed crimes inside our border. Even in the case that they have ties with higher authority, it's still within your rights to ask for remuneration. So, how will it be? Would you choose to pursue the matter?"
 
*The old kemonomimi produced something from behind his robe as he talked. It seems to be a sealed letter, with the insignia of the Knight of Firmament.*
 
"And towards your intention to come here. I have it ready." *She handed the letter to Akasha.*
Michelle
"This is...?"
 
*The priestess, who had been listening intently to their conversation in silence stares towards the letter with puzzled expression. On the day before, he asked for an adjustment for their training schedule because she would bring Arlean – a vocator, along on board. She was expecting the captain to bring them to the practice field and have their lesson there today, with the other Operation Windmill candidates.*
Cody
"The arrangements have changed, in your favour. Deliver this letter to the Freefencers, addressed at Master Kohm Fidres. Your training will also take place there." *He said, patting Akasha's shoulder.*
Michelle
"Eeh? But, why at such short notice? And why us?"
 
*She was understandably perplexed. It's quite unexpected and out of the blue to have them trained by the fencing guild. Normally, this kind of situation would be equal to the apprentice exchange event between both organisations. And in that type of event, only those who are talented – those who are trusted to be able to represent the name of their organisation without tarnishing their respective reputations would be chosen.*
Cody
"Both of you kids are the only candidates who are yet to be assigned into the training roster. So think nothing of it beyond that it's merely your fate." *The captain answered calmly.*
 
"Hmm.. But yes, other factors do exist. But you would learn regarding that eventually. Do not focus on superficial things, keep your horizon within your training. That is if you want to produce maximum results."
Michelle
*She doesn't seem to be perfectly satisfied with that answer. But nevertheless, no other questions were asked.*
