Snippet #2468166

Kenji watched as two new members of the guild went through some ceremony, and that's when he realized that he was part of it. It seemed rather fun and simple: all you had to do was introduce yourself and the guild master will stamp you...somewhere. Kenji has heard stories of men having to get another stamp due to...complications. Nevertheless, old and young members seemed to celebrate the arrival of newcomers.

"Wow..." Kenji thought, "they ARE as festive as the townsfolk say they are..." He looked at as much faces as he can, most of them with a degree of merriment and cheer. The sight distracted him enough that he would have forgotten why he was there until he heard someone cough nearby. It was the red haired man he saw outside, but now he seemed a bit more relaxed. Kenji looked around some more and saw that the little, hot-headed girl he met recently also seemed a bit mroe toned down. When he saw that the place near the Guild Master was empty, he remembered it was now his turn to do introductions.

Kenji dusted his robe a little, took a gulp of scotch, then stepped up to the bar. He was about to speak when he heard a commotion about how he got in. Hoping to somehow answer their question, he thought up of something…rather stupid.
"My name's Kenji, Kenji Tachibana." he said, “But I guess most of you know me as…” He quickly placed his left hand over his buckle. The jewels on the ring and the hand-shaped mark on the buckle glowed blue, yellow and red then a flash of light nearly blinded everyone. Kenji now wore the suit he used when he got into the building, but this time it looked more brand-new. He got into a pose like this and shouted “…MASKED WIZARD!”

The crowd seemed to cheer a little. This is when Kenji started seeing familiar faces, usually Fairy Tail mages whom he usually sees in town and some whom he helps during a night watch. "Now, you need to fear no more! The warrior of justice, the champion of righteousness, the hero of the innocent..." he said, "...IS HERE! With me in the guild, no evil will be too difficult to conquer!"

Kenji again deactivated the ring and looked at his left hand, where the mark of the Ring Warriors seemed to glow from. He received that mark years ago as a symbol of his success and loyalty to his people. Having remembered that makes him somewhat relate to these guild mages. He then felt someone tug his left hand, so he withdrew it and, instead, offered his right hand, where the Fairy Tail guild mark was placed.

This time, his “Hero Ring” glowed. He checked it and saw that the “Y” design between the “eyes” changed into the guild’s mark. “Seems I have me some new threads…” he thought before stepping down to the floor, sitting near the blonde girl and the red-haired man.
