Why is the guild's new vanguard polishing weapons with her bare hands at 4 AM?

I was at the tavern near the guild entrance when I saw her. The elven girl—the one with the glowing crest—was sitting on the cold stone floor by the doorway. She wasn't just sharpening her blades; she was whispering to them like they were alive. Then, when the receptionist walked by to open the guild, this elf literally stood up and blocked the entire corridor with a death glare that could melt iron. It wasn't even a mission day. She looked ready to draw steel over a stack of paperwork. Does she actually sleep, or is she just waiting for someone to give her a reason to start a fight?

Maybe she’s not waiting for a fight. Maybe she’s waiting to be told she’s allowed to rest?

Reply to DeepThinker: Too deep, man. She’s just a killer.

The receptionist is just doing her job, why does the elf look like she wants to behead her?

Reply to NoFilterRequired: Because she knows who holds the leash, and it’s not the receptionist.

That’s . She’s the elite vanguard for that disgraced S-rank dude's new guild. Honestly, the intensity is just her default setting.

Reply to GuildWatch_Fan: Wait, she’s actually that person? I heard she was a slave. That explains the crest.

I walked past her once and she followed me with her eyes for ten whole seconds. Scared the life out of me.

Does she ever actually talk to anyone else, or does she only exist when he’s around?

I sell her high-protein meat supplies. She never haggles. She just drops the coin and leaves like she’s in a hurry to get back to the guild master.

I wouldn't call it 'polishing.' It looked more like a ritual. She treats those blades like they’re the only thing keeping her sane.

Wait, I saw her yesterday too! She was staring at a wall for an hour until someone walked into the room. She looked so relieved the second she realized who it was.
