"What!? You want to be a Regulator?!" Shizune shouted in utter disbelief and confusion. She asked, stunned. Her question or demand was so loud people in the cafe stared at the table they were in with an awkward stare.
Shizune, who was the one everyone was just staring at, coughed. "Ahem, anyway.."
"Yeah I agree with her, why would you want to be a Regulator? The pay ain't that good as well.." Rayna spoke as she was slicing into a French toast. The cafe was somewhat bustling, a couple was laughing near the window, a family of 4 guffawing as the father of the family was making weird faces with his son. The barista, who happened to also be the chef, was busy flipping an omelette with a square pan.
Nonetheless, Satoya was glaring down at the table, the sun was reflected by the varnished wood making him squint his eyes due to the brightness. Satoya started daydreaming, more so about the question he was asked in his dream. The more he thought, the quieter the outside real world sounded, before someone snapped their finger to get his attention.
"Satoya, being a Regulator pays horribly, unless you become an elite rank or perhaps even a requiem rank, you won't get paid more than a normal office worker." Edward reasoned, his arms were crossed. There was an espresso already drunk in front of him, the small snitbits of foam were still visible on the bottom of the cup.
"Why would you even want to be a regulator anyway? You aren't physically beefy like that, thing over there." Rayna sighed as she pointed toward Isaac specifically. Isaac was eating an omelette with a waffle, simply enjoying his breakfast.
"Well, I had a dream last night.."
"What, was it one of those dreams where you flew into a mountain like Shizune?" Edward scratched his head, he seemed to be becoming slightly more impatient from the simple fact that the occupation of Regulator of Regulators Committee is actually one of the more dangerous jobs.
The Regulators Committee is a large organization that spans over the 5 capitals. This organization is essentially responsible for public safety. Although the police force does exist in the world, they are only responsible for small crimes and felonies. There was once a small rumor that if you are rejected from the Regulators Committee entirely, you'll end up becoming a police officer.
Before Satoya could explain the dream he had, Isaac interrupted. "Why not? Sounds like fun." He said while pointing his fork at Satoya.
"Sure." Johnathan agreed, which made everyone instantly surprised. "This makes it a tie according to the number of people there are, no?" Johnathan shrugged.
"Yeah, but we didn't get a tie breaker." Edward glared at Johnathan. And with a raise of a hand, that caught Rayna and Edward in confusion, was the raised hand of Shizune. "He literally said he wants to be one, not wanting us to join." She reasoned.
"What do you mean?!" Rayna argued as she grabbed Shizune by the collar of her hood. "She made a second thought? Rare.." Edward commented quietly.
Satoya stood up, looked at his surroundings, and thought for a couple seconds. "I'm wondering even more, if I apply to get a Regulator license, would I even survive? What if I give up?"
"Satoya, where ya goin?" Isaac asked while his mouth was full of food. Satoya clenched his hand for a second, "I'll just go there myself."
"Why? That's stupid, are you gonna walk ther–Aaand he's gone." Shizune asked, she saw Satoya trail out of the cafe. "This guy, I swear to God." Rayna sighed in annoyance.
