Noir was a little surprised that he was allowed to actually go first. He wasn't opposed to it though he had just thought there must have been a predetermined order. So when he said" Okay" there was a hint of doubt lingering inthe word.
"Everybody else stay here Noir come with me." The principal said this and Noir snapped out of his daze and began to follow the principal. They walked up to the door on Noirs right, and as Noir looked back he saw everyone looking his way wondering what was beyond the door. The environmentalists were whispering amongst themselves but all Noir could hear before he walked through the door way was " my luck." and then the door was closed and it was so silent it felt like there wasnt even a world beyond the door.
Noir scans the room it isnt as beautiful as the principals office but it had a sense of power. The principal took him to the miidle of the room where there was a metal circle. "Dont move an inch," The principal said this in a tone that made Noir not even think about leaving the circle.
The principal looked around the room then left the same way he came in. Then the circle he was standing on started to glow a blue color, and within that second Noir felt a surge move all throughout him and all his muscles flexed.
Noir looked around and then the circle he was on turned purple. That wasn't what caught Noirs gaze though the giant casam that substituted the floor did. Mechanical arms and comtraptions came up through the floor doing scans, and then one touched Noirs head and arm. A massive amount of pain shot out from where they touched then it all just left.
Noir opened his eyes and the floor was back to normal, the circles light dimmed, but the thing that he was most impressed with was his new hud. In the left was a human figure outline with orange on its temple and arm where he had felt that pain. Then a word appeared in front of Noir saying in bright purple "Would you like to pick your weapon."
Noir was surprised and thought of course. Suddenly he was surrounded by white and there was three podiums with a different weapon on each. To the left was something that looked a spool of string. Next was a pouch that had a weird knife in front of it, the knife had a three inch serrated blade that had groves leading to the middle of the blade then down through the handle all the way to the cap at the end. Finally their was a leather glove with a metal plate over the knuckles.
Noir thought for a moment confused about all three options, he had never seen anyone with any of these ARKs. He also wondered how string could be an effective weapon, he thought traps, strangeling or if it was used like handcuffs. No matter what he wanted though his eyes always wondered towords the weird knife. He decided to go up and see what it was like to hold and the second he touched it he was whipped back to reality.
His vision said blood string knife choosen.
"Blood Knife?" Noir didn't mean to choose it he just wanted to see how it felt.
"Hurry up there is a line outside." The principal walked in and exclaimed. Noir now felt a bit guilty for taking so long and quickly walked back into the main office. When he walked in the environmentalists pulled him over all talking at once this hurt Noirs head and he couldn't really make out what anyone was saying.
"Before you all get carried away with question lets all learn the basics." The principal said this while pulling Noir out of the heard of environmentalists. "Now what weapon did you choose and can you show us." He said looking at Noir. The kids then all looked confused because in the normal circumstances you wouldn't get to choose your weapon the ARKs did that for you.
"I got something called the blood knife." Noir said somewhat confused on how this all happened.
"Can you summon it for us." one of the eager environmentalists asked.
"How does someone do that." Noir did that while looking around focusing on his hud. Then a tingley feeling ran through my body and the knife formed instantly in my hand and that pouch was on my right thigh. Noir looked at it more indepth seeing every edge and grove then words appeared saying.
Blood Knife
if cut with this knife the user can make a string from its tip or handle moving it towords the cut.
While people were just admireing the knife Noir threw the knife into his right hand. then with the knife he made a tiny cut in the palm of his right hand.
"What are you doing you idiot." Shan blurted when he saw him cutting himself.
Noir looked him in the eye then threw the knife at the door behind all the students. Everyone ducked when Noir started to wind up then the knife was released from his hand and it felt like the knife could cut through air itself. With a thud it landed squarely in the door an inch.
Noir was then wondering how to activate the ability then he looked at his hand and saw a bright crimson red that looked like blood itself connect to the end of the knife. He grabbed the string and pulled and the knife was out of the door and heading straight to his hand.
"Not bad," Noir said this while everyone in the rooms jaws were dropped. Their were millions of different weapon variants and they had never seen a brand new ARK that could return like that. Even the stong environmentalists had only seen a handfull of ARKs capable of that.
Noir looked down curious to what was in his pouch when he saw two more knifes the exact same as the one in his hand he then dropped the knife into the pouch not wanting to bring attention to the fact he had two more of these awesome blades.
"impressive, so who wants to be next." while the Principal says this everybody in the room raises their hand hoping to get such a cool weapon. While that was happening Noir was focusing on his pouch and it then faded into him with no trace of exsisting except a cut on his hand.
The principal choose someone but Noir was busy getting draged into the room behind the desk. inside the room was a couch, chair, tv, and a mini kitchen. The environmentalists sat me down and then stood in a circle and asked eachother who wanted to have me as an apprentice and everyone but two of them wanted him so they asked "who would you like as a master Noir."
"I don't really know can you all list your fighting style. That would help me in my decison." Noir asked not expecting for them to ask him.
"Just so you know we are all incredibly strong so you won't need to worry about anything other than are fighting styles." A man in black says from the shadows of his hood.
" I want to fight smart from the shadows no hassle just over bearing might." Noir said
Then two people raised their hands to say that they could help him accomplish his goal. It was the man dressed in black and this woman with crimson hair and had a green cloak.
"I focus on the assassination of my enemy in one hit." The man in black said with a sense of power.
"I'm a hunter when I mark a target, my focus is thier death then I just change my target." The woman in green says with a glare of murderous intent.
Noir asks himself "what type of fighter do I want to be." Noir falls on this question then summons his knife. " My target is as good as dead when I choose to kill it, I would be honored to be your disciple, huntress."
