Few days before the registration ;
Setting foot on the capital for the first time, was a muscular built, hot blooded youth. He oozed vitality from his every pore. With short blond hair, curious blue eyes, and sharp jawline, he looked like a protagonist in the making. He was interested in almost everything, but still didn't forget the main reason why he came here. To fight strong opponent... No, no, it was to enroll in The Royal Forces. And fight as a side dish.
In a different place with in the capital. In the third floor of "Vanity", a recently opened restaurant that had quickly gained fame for its exquisite cuisine; stood a young man. With a lean body, and a clad in a suit of black. He looked effeminate, yet you wouldn't mistake him for a woman. With Grey eyes and a hair full of black, he kept gazing out of the window, toward the Royal Grounds. He was waiting... For he will not lose the chance this time.
Many young ones, holding their dreams and aspirations, set foot to the capital. All waiting for the day, they prove their dreams true.
