Chapter 9: Ch 9 : Initial Awakening
Oshibana Station.
As the central transportation hub of the entire city, Oshibana Station had always been bustling with people.
However, not long ago, it was attacked by the dark guild Eisenwald led by "Death God" Erigor.
Caught off guard, the station fell into their hands with almost no resistance.
Although the city's garrison quickly mobilized, sealing off the station and attempting to reclaim it, the overwhelming difference in combat strength made the situation grim.
"Please step back! There's been a train derailment, and the station is temporarily closed," a city guard shouted through a loudspeaker to the surrounding civilians.
Naturally, the disgrace of having the station taken over by a dark guild wasn't something they could announce publicly, so the guards resorted to the flimsy excuse of a train accident to placate the crowd.
Suddenly, a hand landed on the guard's shoulder from behind.
When the guard turned around, he saw a red-haired woman clad in armor with a valiant and commanding presence.
"Hey, you. What's the situation inside?" Erza questioned the stunned guard.
"Who are you...?" The guard was naturally taken aback by the sudden inquiry.
