"Quite a big vehicle it is, never seen something this size." Asta says as he looks at the giant airship that has come to the city port. The port is a open field wide enough for district and the airship is big enough to fit a entire stadium. Three days have passed since severio took Nero back home and yesterday luck and his buddies left for the dwarven tunnels.
"Oh course you haven't boy, the airship is the finest piece of runecrafting that was made by dwarfs." Ragon says as he pats asta in the back, making him bend a little and experience the sizzling pain. " Can't believe the brat I took in is going to the knight academy." He wipes fake tears in his eyes.
Asta looks at him annoyed and says "Stop those crocodile tears master, I sure as hell know you will be celebrating after I am gone." "What!! Stop framing me." Ragon denies the claim. "You are probably happy inside that I am going to show these weapons in the academy, you sales are gonna be through the roof and so will your luxury."
Ragon gives Asta a sly grin and says, "sales? Boy i already sold the workshop.". Silence both from Asta and the nearby crowd. "Master Ragon is retiring and asta is going to Last hope.. who is gonna our items now?" From the crowd a rather young voice comes and all chaos begins, people begin asking Ragon to reconsider and some even got as low grabbing his feet.
Ragon said "Stop this nonsense you muuts!! I am not the only runesmith of the city.My nephew is coming to become my apprentice and successor." "ooo" were the only words the crowd gave before they all got back to their jobs. "Greedy bunch. They only see me as a landmark for fame. You packed everything?"Ragon continues his talk to asta.
"Pretty much, I got my grimoire, my quill, a bunch of clothes and money." Asta says, " it's not like I am a child anymore master, I have seen kids around my age sell their own houses to gamble money." "Not a good example I will say." Ragon retorts.
Soon the airship crew opened the gates and stairs were attached to the ship, people in the queue begin entering one by one while supplies were unloaded somewhere to the side.
Asta enters to airship to see himself walking across a junction with gears turning in the walls while a person in white clothes and a cap herds the people together.
"Welcome to airship 17 the golden dawn" the person says, Asta laughs internally at the comedic scene, the golden dawn name being used for a vehicle appears funny to him for some reason. The person gave every person who boarded with the ticket a pass to their residence.
" Everyone, the pass is needed to use the facilities so we advise you to keep it with you at all times. Every person has been given a bed and each residence room has 4 beds which means you must share and compromise till we reach the destination. Now everyone you are free to go." With permission from the crew, everyone went to places where they wanted to. Asta personal went around and ate lunch at a cafeteria.

"I will remember this place." asta says as he looks out the deck of the airship, through the window he sees Ragon waving his hand from above the workshop as the airship flies away. He waves back and goes back inside while bringing out the ring Severio has given him.
He sits on a empty table and infuses a small amount of mana into the ring." Hello.. who is it?" A voice enters his mind, asta says " brother severio, it's asta. Mind connecting me two to N-Secre for a minute?" "Is it important?" Severio asks. "It is.. I found another of our friends." "Oh! Wait a min." Asta sat their for a minute or two hearing to something equal to mumbling and foodsteps. A voice again enters his mind "Asta? You found someone else?" "Yes, remember the sketch i showed you that we had made from my memories?" "Yes I do." "Apparently gauche is here.. he is a chef.", 'pff' was the only sound asta heard before the call disconnected. He just sat their in a poker face and tired face.
Soon the connection joined again and nero's voice came. "Even if I don't remember everything I sure do remember his personality. Your telling me he became a chef?" "No, he is yelling at the chefs about he could make far better food while occasionally screaming 'I won't let such garbage be fed to my sister.', Marie is just sitting their bored two tables away." Asta replied. "So in character of him, well I hope you can convince him. I got more things to worry about here." Nero says and cuts the connection again while Asta just shakes his head and stands up before walking over to marie.

"Hello there, is that your brother over there." Asta sits beside the girl looked like marie and asks while pointing at Gauche? Who was threatening the chefs at this point. "Yes he is, he just won't stop overreacting to things." "I see, what are your names?" "Why are you asking? It's wierd and brother said to not tell my name to others.".
Asta looks at her and makes up half-lie. "You two Look similar to someone I know, I was just asking." Asta said with a straight warm expression, "oh, what are there names?" "Gauche and marie" asta replied to marie?'s question. Meanwhile Gauche? Comes behind him and looks at him bloodlust "Olivia I told you to stay away from strangers didn't I?" He said while giving his sister a warm smile before turning to asta with a cruel twisted face of fury and says " and who are you?".
Asta chuckles lightly which doesn't go unnoticed by The duo, he slowly turns and says "I was waiting for you, a seat first?" Asta gestures for him to sit and he sat while fuming in anger. "Do you two have dreams about a battlefield before the world fades to black regularly? Asta asked with a confident smirk while the brother sister duo became visible shocked. "How did you know? Oliva asked while cutely placing her finger near her nose while gauche's vigilance doubles. "I am the guy that comes out of that portal while you faced off against that guy with a scale and wings." Asta says while gauche? quickly realises the sense of familiarity he was getting from asta, he looks at him baffled and asks "that's not just a dream?" "No" replies asta nonchalantly and continues "there are others as well and you guys should remember somethings next time you go to sleep, just remember the names- Asta, gauche, marie for now." Asta stands up and leaves the confused duo behind like a suspenseful villian and went to his lodging.

Asta wakes up to a morning sun and gets out of bed. Few minutes later,he walks out of his room and visits the deck to find a person staring at him from one of the tables.
"Did you had to make so suspenceful Asta? You could have just told me." Gauche says as he looks at Asta with disappointment while reading a magazine. Asta just gives a simple grin before saying 'it looks like your sister complex got healed a little... But you begin shifting through magazines instead?", "I am looking for grey, she can famous with her transformation magic." Gauche says while blood flows down his nose. Asta just looks at him like a person watching a hopeless guy. Just as he sits down, the ship shakes violently and a large explosion noise comes to them alongside a shockwave.
