Era; a city in the process of being reformed even over a year after Warden and Acnologia decimated every standing building. Marick looked over the city with glazed eyes as he remembered the day and the events that would transpire. Cause and effect. He wouldn't be where he was now had he not witnessed Era's destruction first-hand. He'd met Matabei who had become one of his greatest friends. He'd rescued Kara who'd grown into a fine young woman in such a short space of time. He himself taken a beating from Acnologia's attacks. It was very much the beginning of his unexpected journey of the past year. And so it seemed fitting that, as the city was being rebuilt, Marick would return and use the events as an opening point for a very special event.
That event was Kichiro Yukine's B-rank exam. Considering Marick himself was the only mage to have reached that rank - barring Zenshin and the recent addition of Frederik - it was unusual for him to be giving an exam for his very ranking. Nonetheless it had been Zenshin's will. Kichiro's road to understanding the virtues of the guild would have no better starting place than the very location that Marick for one had truly begun to follow the virtues himself. With this in mind, the Paragon of Selflessness had left a note on Kichiro's door stating that he wished to meet here at Era. He hoped that Kichiro would arrive accordingly.
