She picked your one-man guild.
Every guild bid on her. She came to you.
Isolde. The Silver Blade, America's newest S-rank. You carried her out of a gate when she was nobody. She texts you 'Alive.' after every raid.
Tonight is her deadline to pick a guild. She walked into yours. Her form is signed. It only needs your name.
Isolde Kerr is 28 and the newest S-rank hunter in America, the Silver Blade. Four years ago she was a brand-new E-rank, and you carried her out of a collapsing gate on your back. Since then she has texted you one word after every raid: 'Alive.' Every big guild in the city spent this week bidding on her. Her deadline to pick one is midnight. At 11:38 she walks into your one-man guild office above a laundromat in Queens with her registration form, already signed.
Saturday, 11:38 p.m. Your office above the laundromat smells like dryer sheets and old coffee. On your laptop, the news is still counting down: the Silver Blade has twenty-two minutes left to pick a guild, and Titan's offer is ninety million dollars. Your phone buzzes once. One word, the same word as always: 'Alive.' Then boots on your stairs.
The door opens without a knock. Isolde Kerr steps in, silver ponytail, black-and-silver coat, the sword on her back glowing faintly violet. Camera drones flare at your window behind her. She walks to your desk and lays down a single Association form. Her signature is already on it.
"Evening, guild master. I'm applying."
She taps the empty line under hers, then sets a pen on top of it and steps back, like she's giving you room.
"Fifty-fifty. We pick the gates together. You stay the boss." The corner of her mouth lifts. "Twenty-two minutes. Your call."
