The young Rune Knight who would come to ask Salem for help would soon enough revile himself as a Paige named Colin Simmers. Though moments after he finished introducing himself to the two gentlemen what would be Kon and Salem, Kon would instantly inform the two that he had more important matters to attend to and would not be able to help the young Paige in his request. Salem feeling that this possibly due to the fact that the boy had Introduced himself as a Paige and a lot of higher Knights did not care much for helping the lower especially Paige’s, and Salem had no clue as to what rank the boy Kon had managed to reach now, considering just a few months ago when they met Salem could recall that they were both Paige’s. Though that could of easily have changed in that time span as even Salem himself had managed to raise in the ranks of the Magic Council Rune Knights by moving to the rank of Apprentice Knight, though this wasn’t much of an upping from his rank of being a Paige it was some improvement and did come with a slight bit more of importance and a little more respect.
Though the Magical Scholar Salem was hopping to keep increasing his progress in the ranks by reaching the Seated Knight status soon as it would be none the less a great accomplishment for him as well as putting him much more closer to his goal of magical knowledge. Something that the young Apprentice Rune Knight Salem, had been dreaming and plotting on for a very long time. Upon Kon leaving Salem to help the young Paige Colin, as the young boy would inform Salem that he had been called by the Lord of Hargeon to handle a very important task that he could not inform the Apprentice Knight of. Though Salem was sure none the less it was important enough if it came from the Lord of the port town Hargeon himself. Plus the Magical Scholar also knew what it felt like to be a young Paige having duties to do while also being called away from them to do other things for Lords and Knights that out ranked them. Upon finishing his explanation of everything Collin would thank the young Magical Scholar that was Salem before he proceeded his way to the lord that had so urgently called him.
Upon Collin leaving Salem, would take a glance at his Flareon companion Apollo, as the orange fire like creature looked up at him waiting to see what was next. Waiving to Apollo Salem and the Flareon would proceed to start to patrol the streets of Hargeon that the young Paige Collin had been assigned to. Street patrol being something that Salem find quite rather boring, as it tended to result in nothing with most people being scared to do anything in areas that they knew where highly patrolled by the Rune Knights, as those tended to be the most important and safest areas. But patrolling was a hideous task, and one that the young Magical Scholar had not found himself doing since his times at a Paige when he himself was stationed in the capital of Fiora Crocus. Though lucky for Salem, Oda had managed to pull a few strings for his adoptive son and managed to get him a more suitable job to his skills. This being the reason that Salem was blessed enough to work in the royal library, a job that he took complete pride in as it gave him great access to plenty of knowledge in the form of books that he did not have access to beforehand, though it still did not give the young Magical Scholar every book he so hoped for as many were still only accessible to those of higher rank then himself.
Still patrolling around, Salem and Apollo would soon come to spot two strange men proceeding to handle some business that seemed very shady to the young Magical Scholar. Though Salem knew better than to spook the situation, so he waited and let it play out before he found himself taking action, but soon Salem’s cover would seem to be broken and both of the man would proceed to dart off in opposite directions, with Salem going after one while sending Apollo after the other. Chasing down his man, Salem would seem to pick up the lid of a trash kind and throw it like a Frisbee knocking the man off his feet allowing for him to get to him and begin integrating him. Leading to Salem learning that the name of the other man was Reagan Hullston. Soon Enough Collin would report back with Salem informing him of everything that happened and receiving his reward. Once paid the Apprentice Rune Knight and Apollo would make their way.
