The Light of Seven
It was rare to see a mage walk up to the pearly steel gates of the Magic Council hell, it was rare to see anybody walk to the gates without an authority dragging them. Perhaps what was even stranger was the fact that rather than a single person, a group of 7 people had collectively decided to go together. As such, it honestly wasn't that much of a surprise to the members of Moon Drop when there was an entire squadron awaiting the group at the Council's gates.

Slowing down his stride, Dante reached into his jacket and pulled out a metallic badge adorned with an emerald cross. Brandishing it towards the squadron, one of the members stepped forward and roughly grabbed it off of him. Inspecting it, he tossed it back to Dante before allowing him to walk through, putting his arm out and stopping Conway when he tried to pass.

"Do you have an insignia as well?"

"A what?" Conway asked, drawing out his hands from his pockets.

"Insignia Mr. Blackwood" The Council member repeated, rolling his eyes at the mages apparent ignorance "an official badge of office awarded to those with the right to seek an audience with the Council of Seven. Do you have one Mr. Blackwood?"

"Umm...no I don't?"

The Council member smirked "Then...I would thoroughly suggest you avoid making your way into the Council otherwise the squadron you see here will be the ones to forcibly stop you"

"And what if we need to get in even if we don't have an insignia?" Mithra asked "You're more than welcome to try and stop us, if you can"

Coughing into his hand nervously, the member stated "''Clause 156.3 Paragraph 18- Any harm towards an active member of the Council of Seven will be regarded as an act of crime-"

"Punishable by execution. Yeah, I know. Also Clause 156.3 Paragraph 19- Any harm towards an active member of the Council of Seven will be overlooked within the instance that it is in the manner of Self Defense. You attack us first, we'll destroy you guys and keep walking. So I'd say it's a good idea to just let us through?"

"But at the same time, you can't do anything if we decide to remain pacifistic"

Placing a finger on her chin, Mithra said "That's true...So I guess we'll just go ahead and walk straight through then"

"I would really advise you to not try and do that Mrs...?"

"Vardiel. And I believe I'm more than welcome to act as I wish so if you don't mind..."

Making her way through, a soldier stepped in her way, brandishing his lance and swung it towards the blind woman, intending to stop it mere centimeters away from her neck. However, Mithra moved straight into the blade, her neck inadvertently getting nicked in the process. A hushed silence blanketed the tension as Mithra slowly brought a hand to her neck, checking the wound. Feeling a wet sensation on her fingertips, she questioned "If I were to attack you now...that would be Self Defense?"

"Hah, woman, I was scared for a second but yeah sure, if you want to you can hit me. In fact, I'll give you a free hit"

"...you're not worried at all?"

"Of course not. You're just a blind woman. Whatever shall you do to me, slap me with all your might?"

At this remark, several members of the squadron began snickering, while behind of her both Serum and Florence muttered underneath their breaths "Oh geez..."

Twitching her eyebrow, Mithra said "Just a blind woman? JUST a BLIND Woman? Well I guess you won't mind if I were to SMASH YOUR FACE IN"

Leaping up to match his height, the blue haired woman viciously lashed out and true to her claim, punched the offending man in the face. Sending him flying a fair distance away, the other members of the squadron instinctively stood to attention and rushed towards Mithra.

Watching as the Blind Summoner highhandedly tore apart the squadron with ease, Silas simply shrugged and walked past the ongoing fight, rejoining Dante and making his way into the Council's chambers. Hurrying to meet them, the rest of Moon Drop caught up, Gottes asking if they should at the very least give Mithra a hand with her endeavors.

"Naa, she'll be alright. Anyways come on, we need to go see the Council as soon as possible"

To have a formal application for any action Guild related, the individual would need to direct their attention towards the Magic Council. Moon Drop had done just that, obtaining an application and a mission for the destruction of QuadDracoras. However, the application had been revoked for seemingly no apparent reason, and with the deadline of the self awarded mission rapidly approaching, the members of Moon Drop had sought out the Council for an explanation on why they had been denied access to the destruction of a notorious Dark Guild.
