Noel was found sitting at the Astera pier. The Advent World wizard had set out his fishing rod early in the afternoon. He sat on top of a cooler box, filled with beer. He sat in the hot sun. His backpack next to the cooler had all of his equipment in it. He had been here yesterday too. Though today, he wanted to start the day casually. The wizard casted out his rod into the water, the bait slowly sinking into the sea as he awaited a reaction on the line.

It was quite a sunny afternoon. After half an hour of no reaction on the line, Noel began to doze off. Suddenly, the fishing line was drawn into the water - waking him up and rushing for his fishing rod. The male begun to reel his rod in, struggling with the fish. It took him a few minutes to tire the fish out, so he could safely reel it in without the line snapping. Noel had caught a large swordfish, attracting some eyes from the other fishers who were impressed.

Noel brought the fish over from the water, letting it hang from his rod as he cleaned out his cooler box with beer - he was about to gut the fish but then stopped. He wanted to show this magnificent fish off to others, so he'd try to contact Kenzo through their face time lacrima. “Check this out” He'd say whether or not Kenzo had answered, he'd have left a video message if there was no response. Noel struck a pose in front of the fish, directing the lacrima camera at himself and the fish. “Wanna hang out at the Astera Pier? I may have a job for you buddy. I'm at the end of the peer, waiting for you.” He'd say before hanging up, the swordfish was too exhausted to try to get free. Noel raised the fish over the railing, putting it on the wooden deck before he'd start to gut it. Throwing chunks of its meat into the cooler box. With a slight of hand, he'd have cleaned up the mess created by the guts of the swordfish by using his magic in minor amounts.

The reason why he came to this pier again today, was due a certain interesting master fisherman he'd have met the day out previous. There was a certain nuisance, a large sea - like creature found in one of the covens. Noel enjoyed slaying it. Maybe there were more of such beasts.

The master fisherman's posse was at the middle of the pier, while Noel hung at out at the end. Waiting for Kenzo to arrive so that they could do this quest together and chill on the pier as teenagers usually do. He'd close the ice box, and chug two beers as they couldn't be covered up with the little shade he'd have gotten from the pier. There were still around seven full bottles, ice cold for him to enjoy.

Noel saw Kenzo in the corner of his eye. He remained seated, staring off into the horizon as he enjoyed his beverages. He'd occasionally peek towards Kenzo's general direction to see if he was coming closer. About fifteen meters away from him, the male had stopped in his tracks to look around, he seemed lost. Noel chuckled to himself, putting his hand in his pocket and fishing out a certain two-inch pebble by the name of Stonerang. He'd place the pebble under his middle finger, flicking it towards the direction of Kenzo's head. That ought to get his attention. Using its ability after to resummon the trusty pebble in his pocket, Noel yawned into his hand. “Hhhrh, you're finally here.” He got up from his ice box and put his hand into the air - a symbolic invitation for a high five. “How ya been buddy? Long time no see.” He'd say to his guild mate, who'd he befriended by now.

“Anyway, as I was saying. There's a good opportunity to make some money on this pier.” He'd point at the various different fishermen that were around. “I don't mean the fish, but the clientele here that is attracted to the fish. They seem to have some rampant fish crises, ones they can't solve on their own.” Noel offered Kenzo a beer if he was interested. “If you're interested, we should talk to the master fisherman I spoke to yesterday. Before we go though...” The Advent  World mage walked to his backpack and put his equipment on. “It's gonna be a bumpy ride, most likely. So make sure you prepare before we go to the client, aye?” He'd say to Kenzo if he was still around. When Noel was done putting on his armor, he'd pick up the ice box and start walking towards the master fisherman who was located at the middle of the pier. “Konichiwa, Fis-hakase.” He'd greet the fisherman he'd have met yesterday. With one eye on his fishing hook, and the other eye on Noel the man smiled somewhat. His posse of squires surrounded him, keenly watching and learning from the master.

“Ah, Noel. Just the guy I needed. Remember that fish beast you slayed? Apparently that thing was a cub. Let's just say mama bear is really angry.” The thought of the horrific sea beast from yesterday having an even bigger version somewhat sent shivers down his arm. Being called a boy made him smirk somewhat. “Ah, I see. If the pay is good, we can take care of it. Nothing in your stipulation last time mentioned eradicating an entire generation of fish species, y'know.” Noel talked his way out of being scolded for not having finished the job properly previously. Fis sighed, and nodded. “Fine. Bring me its head when you're done, and you'll get your payment.” Noel smirked and nodded. “Will do chief.” Fis pulled a map out of his ass pocket, giving it to one of his squires who handed it over to Noel. A big X was crossed on a map that resembled the pier. He'd share the map with Kenzo. “X marks the spot?” Fis chuckled, and nodded. The location of the sea beast was half a mile off the coast. Among a large formation of rocks was the entrance of the coven.

He'd turn back to Kenzo, who he'd assume was still around. Eventually walking away from the client, he'd propose an idea to Kenzo. “Alright, so we got two options. We can get a row boat, and sing merry little songs as we eat swordfish and drink rum on our way to the coven. Oooorr... I just fly the both of us there. What do you think?” He'd ask Kenzo, waiting for his response before deciding his next move. He'd put down the ice box and stretch, whatever they did next required some physical focus. If Kenzo had agreed to flying, he'd have raised his fist into the air - picking up his guildmate by the collar as he went off flying. Had he refused, and chosen a rowboat instead, they'd have to manage to acquire one.

Noels stone rang hit onto Kenzo, smacking him in the back of the head. Noel mildly chuckled, and greeted the wizard - in a somewhat more direct manner than before. Kenzo reacted quite aggressively, threatening Noel who kept chuckling in his face. It seems as if he hadn't realized quite yet who he was. Noel mocked him for being slow, which most likely made the dots connect for Kenzo that he was indeed Noel. When the boy asked him what the hell had happened, he saw he was confused about his physical change. “Ever since I bathed in a tub full of vampire blood, my skin has tightened. Like botox, dude. I'm a young dude now too, Kenzo.” Noel formed a cheeky smirk on his face. “What do young dudes do now-a-days, Kenzo?” After the boys drank the beers, they'd head up to the fisherman who gave them the quest. Kenzo seemed to want to tag along for this quest, which was good.

Kenzo made some small talk during their short travel. “What do you mean if? I'm 20 years old Kenzo, I don't know what you're talking about.” Noel said with a straight face. Kenzo seemed intent on executing a perfect plan, something with style. Noel was intrigued so he'd pass up on the flying aspect of travel. As they crossed some kind of street, it appeared that Kenzo was startled by some kind of sign. He'd look intently at Noel who physically shrugged with his face. “You've been smoking too much weed lately, Kenzo. You're seeing things that aren't there.” He'd mock his guild mate for his quirky side. “For real though, the upper terrace in our guild hall at 8AM with a cup of coffee in one hand, a joint in the other?” He'd brought his fingertips to his lips, smacking his lips as he brought his fingers outwards. “Peak living.”

The duo eventually stumbled upon a boat that had a tacky nickname. It made Noel chuckle, at how ridiculously titled the boat was - even though it was their literal life paddle. “You know, my mother told me once when I was a young man to always invest a lot in things that keep you off the ground. Shoes, socks, horse hooves, beds.” Getting on board and standing amidst the center of the ship, Kenzo mentioned the idea of making the boat levitate. “Do you think she meant boats too?” He stretched his back and sat down in a cross-legged position. Resting both of his hands on his knees, he'd put his palms upwards channeling great magic power around the boat and a couple of other random objects. All those aboard would receive D ranked damage from standing on top of the boat, as this spell was an offensive one: Wingardium Leviosa. This spell allowed the Advent World wizard to levitate up to eight different objects. The boat was one of those, Noel and Kenzo being on top of it caused slight damage to them both. In addition to the boat, Noel hilariously made the steering wheel spin out of control. Using his left hand to direct the boat upwards into the sky, with his other palm he'd direct other objects.

He'd pull a parcel and a quill to him, “Hey Kenzo I'm predicting your future!” Noel said as he himself begun levitating half a feet off the ship while directing the ship forwards. It was roughly five meters off the water and in the air. He'd direct the boat to move horizontally across the water, at fast spell speeds. With the quill and the parcel he'd write with big letters, 'MARRIES A RICH BLONDE'. Noel smirked, “Oh?” He'd attempt to smack the parcel against Kenzos face using his left palm. Among other objects that were levitating around Noel was a bucket with water, a mop, a net, a harpoon, an old cannonball and a book.

Racing across the open seas, the duo were heading deeper into the rough seas. It had started raining, Noel had to concentrate somewhat on directing the ship properly. The coast line was starting to become faded. An incredible loud roar could be heard from the sea, somewhat starting Noel causing him to tilt the ship inwards of the sea for a split moment, before pulling up in the nick of time. During this moment, a very large black spot clouded the sea below the Advent World mages. “Oh fuck!” Noel yelled, seeing it as he tilted the ship back up. He'd bring the ship to the peak of his control, which was up to twenty meters into the air. “Free for all!” He'd yell at Kenzo, laughing manically as he activated another spell - dropping the ship and the other objects in his control from the air as he skydived for ten meters towards the mouth of the appearing monster, still putting him 10 meters off the water.

His fist pointed at said monster, which began resembling a kraken in Noels eyes. While one fist was pointed at the monster during his descent, his other arm had charged up. Firing a deadly spell at the kraken, followed by Noels war cry. “KAMEHAMEHA!!” Noel fired this spell at the eyes of the sea monster. Pillars of water were starting to form around the male, who had activated his flight or fight spell after the activation of his offensive spell. With his left fist pointing around the water pillars, the Gravity Mage had successfully evaded three water pillars. One of them hit his leg as he was weaving in between the pillars. It shredded his armor, instantly incinerating it. This beast was no laughing manner. He'd target the beast one more time, right after his leg being caught up in one of its spells. Avoiding Kenzo as much as he could, a large magic circle appeared around the head of the beast, his most powerful spell came bursting out of it, instantly incinerating multiple tentacles as it rose up and created a powerful magical explosion. Somewhat applying a minor debuff to the kraken. Noel weaved between his attacks, dodging and evading many water projectiles that were aimed at him with the use of his flight spell. If there was truly no way for Kenzo to approach this situation, he'd pick him up by his collar before he could plunge into the water and aid him in evading some of the spells that were being shot off in rapid succession.

Noel was excited to relive the glory years of his past. He was sure that Kenzo was going to teach him young man culture when they had a moment of respite. Activities such as wake' n baking were going to be the highlight of his many days to come. Later, on the ship, Kenzo succesfully managed to evade the enhanced parcel. He'd direct a cannonball at his head while the blue haired male spoke, chuckling as it connected onto his head. It seemed like brunettes were more of his type. Noel continued to irritate Kenzo with various different objects as they fucked around during their short period of travel.

During the free fall, Noel laughed manically - hearing the words of his friend, he'd shout back at him. “Me too, teme!” The ship mightily crashed into the mouth of the kraken, somewhat deep throating the squid. While Kenzo was doing his warrior thing, Noel stuck to evading many of it spells in creative and ambitious ways, sometimes receiving damage in return for being too bold with his evasive maneuvers. He'd surf among some waves created by the kraken, speedily dodging various tentacles as they came rushing out of the air. Taking out several with brutal punches, Noel begun to distribute great damage upon the kraken. Chunks of flying tentacle meat came falling from the sky, blood and ink were splattered across Noel. It seems as if the kraken was dying, the roaring had stopped - the tentacles begun sinking into the water, and no follow up water spells were being cast. Noel moved towards its head levitating three meters off of it, “I think it's dead. Let's sever the head, I'll bring us back if you hold onto the head.” Noel wanted to strike a deal with Kenzo. “You do the head severing, I'll just uhh.. warm-up for the flight back!” He'd say at Kenzo, not wanting to dirty his hands. It wasn't like he had a sharp weapon like he did anyway.

Whenever Kenzo was done severing its head, Noel fled down to grab him by his collar. “Alright, I'll give you a break for once.” Noel said, levitating the head as he sustained his Wingardium Leviosa spell. Departing into the air, he'd drift back towards the coastline with the kraken head in his orbit. Presumably, he'd have expected Kenzo to allow him to transport him in this manner. Though once the were back at the pier, he'd drop Kenzo from eight meters into the air onto the pier. Cheekily following him, he'd carefully bring down the kraken head in front of the fisherman. He was surprised they were this fast, and handed over a big bag of jewels. “Very good, till next time.” Noel was satisfied with the pay and made sure to split the rewards with Kenzo. “Job well done. Let's head to the bar. I think I need a shower first though. Race you to the inn?!” Noel pointed his fist at the sky to depart at fast speeds towards the inn after dropping his interrobang, several blood drops scattered across Astera that day. Noel enjoyed the rest of his evening in a bar, presumably with Kenzo.
