Association Head

"Please bring me to where I must go." Ryu said with a slight hint of impatience in his voice. "I would like to get this over with as quickly as possible." 

"Ah!" The receptionist snapped awake at Ryu's words. "Yes… Yes. Please come with me." 

The receptionist of the Alchemy Association was actually just one of many. The entrance to the tall tower led into a lobby area where a large circular desk was placed. As much as a dozen receptionists took up positions within the open center of this circular desk to efficiently help as many customers as possible. As a result, the exchange between Ryu and the receptionist he was charged to wasn't exactly covert. 

However, was Ryu the type of individual to care for stares and ridicule? He wouldn't give these individuals the time of day, especially considering how their expressions changed when they saw how easily he was willing to spend Qi Stones.
