**Chapter 2: Unexpected Reunion**
Yuta's eyes widened in disbelief as he stood face to face with his father amidst the bustling guild hall of the adventurer's guild.
**Yuta:** "What are you doing here, father? Didn't you promise Mom you wouldn't come to the adventurer guild anymore?"
**Mikoto:** "Ah, it's actually a funny story, Yuta. Let me explain."
**Mikoto:** "People at the adventurer guild requested my help, and initially, I refused. But your mother, she insisted that I lend a hand. So, here I am, serving as a mentor to the aspiring adventurers."
**Yuta:** "That's quite unexpected, father. But why are you here now? Shouldn't you be home?"
**Mikoto:** "Well, your mother thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my experience and knowledge with the next generation of adventurers. Besides, it's been a while since I've been in the thick of things."
**Yuta:** "I see. Well, it's good to see you here, Dad. I've actually been considering a different path than becoming a knight."
**Mikoto:** "Oh? What's on your mind, son?"
**Yuta:** *(explains his reasons)*
**Mikoto:** "I understand, Yuta. It's important to follow your own path and pursue what truly speaks to your heart. Whatever you decide, know that your mother and I will support you every step of the way."
**Yuta:** "Thanks, Dad. That means a lot."
**Mikoto:** "Now, I better get back to my duties. Take care, Yuta."
As Mikoto disappears into the crowd, Yuta contemplates his father's words, feeling a sense of reassurance and determination in his heart.
Meanwhile, in the division of knights, Synoh receives news of his placement into the 10th division, while Lux learns that he will be part of the 7th division. Their paths diverge once more as they prepare to embark on their respective journeys within the knight division.
