As Thomas exited the bath house he sighed and said "She never gave me any detail on the other guilds nor the five leaders I have to get rid of."
Thomas started to walk away as he mumbled "Guess I'll just wait till they attack me and have them take me to them." Thomas smiled as he said "Looks like I won't be waiting long." Thomas turned around and said "Quick hiding I can smell your mana." Thomas stared at the two men behind the wall as he mumbled "Their mana pools are rather large, I wouldn't have notice it if it was a small amount but these guys aren't messing around." The two people stepped out from behind the building in cloaks and said "Very impressive, you were able to notice us." The two men started to walk towards Thomas as they said "Come with us we have a few things we'd like to discuss in private." Thomas stared at them nervously and said "You really think I'm gonna follow some stranger just because he tells me to?" One of the men glared at Thomas as he said "Very well we shall tell you here." As the man said this Thomas heard a voice in his head say "We know what you did." Thomas looked around as the voice said "We're aware that you've killed a king." Thomas froze and stared at the two men as they said "We've been watching you for a while now." Thomas stared at them and thought "How could they find out?" The voice then said "We can observe you from afar or up close, but none of that is important." The people began to walk towards Thomas as the voice said "If you'd like we can go somewhere else and discuss what we want." Thomas stared at them and thought "Who the hell are you people?" The voice began to laugh as it said "We are a group called the Grim Order!" The two men grabbed Thomas by the shoulders and began to push him backwards. The two men sat Thomas down in a chair and said "This place will do." The two men stared at Thomas and said "We actually have nothing to request of you just yet but when the time comes we expect you to help us." Thomas stared at them and asked "What if I refuse." One of the men grabbed Thomas's shirt and said "We have the info to destroy you and the power to kill you." Thomas stared at the man and said "If your so high and mighty why do you need?" The man let go of Thomas's shirt and said "We of the Grim Order shall not reveal our motives, just know that we have found a place for you in our plans." Thomas shrugged and said "I'm not working for free." One of the men grabbed Thomas's shirt again and said "We hold your life in our hands do you really think your in a place to make demands?" The other man nodded and said "If you wish to be compensated for your work that is fine." The other man let go of Thomas's shirt and said "It looks like you've gotten lucky this time." Thomas stood up and said "If your gonna need me for something just give me the info through my mind with that spell you were using." The men nodded and said "Of course this will probably be the last time you interact with us, but just know that we of the Grim Order won't let you die until you fulfill the tasks we give you." Thomas began to walk away as they said "We will be seeing you very soon." Thomas turned around and seen they were gone as he mumbled "Their mana pools vanished." Thomas smelled the air and said "They must've hidden their mana pools better but I can still smell them." Thomas sighed and said "Guess I have to work with more of these bastards." As Thomas turned around he seen Daisy in front of him as she asked him "What are you doing?" Thomas stared at her and said "I was just taking a stroll." Daisy grabbed Thomas's arm and said "Well if your not doing anything maybe you should help the rest of us train." Thomas stared at Daisy and asked "Is this about me helping Peri and Ceil?" Daisy nodded and said "I won't let them pass me up and neither will the others." Thomas sighed and said "Alright I'll lend you guys a hand." As they stood in the field Peri and Ceil stared at him and said "We were just talking about you." They all stared at Thomas as Ocis grabbed onto his arm and said "Come on we have to start training!" Thomas stared at Ocis and said "Yeah I suppose we should." Ocis began to pull Thomas as she said "I call Thomas as my training partner!" The others all stared at Ocis as Scarlett said "But he's the most experienced fighter you can't just keep him to yourself." Thomas glanced at Scarlett and mumbled "She's definitely basing this on how many times I've killed people." Scarlett walked towards Thomas and said "We shall all train with him." Ocis stared at Scarlett and said "But if he trains all of us at the same time won't that be tiring?" Scarlett stared at Thomas and asked "What do you think?" Thomas stared at her and said "I'm fine with whatever." Scarlett stared at Ocis and smiled as she said "See he'll help train all of us." As Ocis let go of Thomas he asked "So what are we gonna do?" Peri and Ceil walked towards Thomas with a piece of paper behind their backs as they said "We've thought about a way to help you train while you were gone." Thomas stared at them and asked "What's your idea?" Peru and Ceil both pulled out a paper and slapped it onto Thomas and shouted "We can use talismans to train you!" Thomas immediately fell to the ground unable to move as he asked "What the hell are these?" They smiled and said "Surely you know about talismans." Thomas glanced at them as Lily said "He won't be able to remove them himself and they normally have an increased effect on him." Ceil stared at her and said "So these talismans are actually increasing his weight by more then the original one hundred pounds?" Lily nodded and said "Its probably way more then that." Peri stared at her and said "Well theirs two of those one hundred pound talismans so it should be pretty heavy even without the increased effect." Thomas pushed himself off of the ground and and to his feet as Peri said "The weight change only effects you so anything else around you won't feel the same weight you are." Ceil smiled and said "I designed them to specifically do that." Thomas stood there breathing heavily as he asked "Why did you put these things on me?" Ceil smiled and said "Well you seem like you'd need something to help boost you but the rest of us need combat experience to we're gonna fight each other for a while." Thomas stared at her and said "Hold up was this a plan to stick these to me?" Peri nodded and said "We all agreed that we'd put them on you but me and Ceil didn't have a clue about the increased effects." Ceil walked towards Thomas and said "All you have to do is what you usually do and you'll get stronger." Peri smiled and said "Or you can train with us and get stronger that way too!" Thomas stared at them and asked "Well when do these things come off?" Lily smiled and said "They'll come off whenever one of us with magic decides it." Scarlett stared at Ocis and said "We can also use talismans to prevent you from moving and Ocis won't be able to help you whenever we force you to rest." Thomas shrugged and said "As if I'd let some flimsy piece of paper stop me." Scarlett smiled and said "You make it sound easy but we already know that you won't be able too." Thomas began to walk away slowly as he said "I'll just go along with these things for now but Once they're off I'm not putting anymore on." Lily smiled and said "He doesn't have much of a choice if we sneak it on him." Ceil and Peri glanced at her and asked "Is he going to be alright?" Lily glanced at them and said "just to be clear the talismans are invisible and very hard to destroy, right?" Ceil nodded and said "I made it so me, you, Peri, and Scarlett could all see it but not even he can see them." Ocis stared at Peri and Ceil and asked "But isn't it mean that we're forcing him to wear them?" Daisy stared at Ocis and said "We've been over this so incase you forgot we're actually helping him without actually helping him." Daisy walked towards Ocis and said "If we physically try to help him he'll just refuse it so this is the only way we can help him train." Ocis stared at her and said "So we're actually helping him?" Daisy stared at Thomas and nodded as she said "I'm sure he'll be thanking us pretty soon."
