Kinea and two other people are led towards the first division base through a passageway in a dense forest by a man with brown eyes and glistening golden eyes, he wore a black turtle neck coat with brown jeans,a black belt and black leather shoes which shined in the moon light.
And as for those being led along with him there was a young girl around the same age as Kinea, she had long purple hair with pink eyes and she wore a full purple attire being a a purple long sleeves shirt and a purple skirt with black pop socks and purple shoes.
And the last of the three was a boy seemingly a bit older than Kinea, he had long black hair which was styled as a pony tail with dark green eyes, he wore a blue tank top and black joggers and black sandals.
(It would be best to strike a conversation, if we're walking together.)Kinea thought.
He clears his throat before saying"Um, Hello my teammates. My name is Kinea pleased to work with you".
A cruel silence echoes through the forest, before the man who led them bursts into laughter. "Well I guess it's only proper we get acquainted. I am your commander Lorense Theodore from Volgard, nice to meet you".
Then the girl begins introducing herself saying "I am Noir from the family of Celestia,Nice to meet you".
"Oh from the royal family,the celestia bloodline usually have powers over the heavenly bodies",says the boy with the pony tail.
"Wait,how does that work?", Kinea asks.
"Well just like how if you have such a strong SP you can pass on the structure of your power to your children the celestia is a generation which have naturally strong SP and with an utmost strength with control of heavenly bodies" explains the man with a pony tail.
"Your knowledge is admirable where may you come from?",Noir asks.
"I am Manye, I come from a simple background,I have a small family status but I'll keep the details to myself",he said.
The four of them eventually reach a three-story building made with bricks the outside was painted red while the inside white, it had a medical room right after the entrance and a training room on the second floor while the rooms were at the 3rd floor. The house was decorated with many photos of old fleets and years as well as with plants all over,it was truly a beauty in all ways.
The living room of question had couches and a circular glass table. "Welcome to the first division living quarters",says Theodore.
They sit in the living room and Theodore begins to brief them "So your gonna be here for exactly four weeks in which you'll go through the assessments needed to give you your rank. Us first division will go for our first activity tomorrow which will stretch for a week before the second division so we need to rest for the night but first some ground rules: Meals will be served at due times but you are free to buy and eat when you wish, Every Saturday we will have a full house cleaning, I do not expect to see any sexual misconduct",Theodore explains.
"And finally, if not a sparing match I do not expect to see any fighting of the sorts", Theodore continues. "All settled?" Theodore asks. The three nod their heads.
"Dismissed" Theodore replies.
(Hmm, which is my room. They really should have put our names on our rooms) Kinea thinks. Kinea opens a door to a room and sees Noir in her underwear trying to change into a night gown, they lock eyes and Kinea notices her pointy ears then she throws a book on his face. And she raises her hand sending a gust of wind sending him flying towards the wall and shutting the door.
"Aww, that hurt" Kinea says.
(When did she get pointy ears. I didn't see that the first time i saw her) Kinea thinks.
He picks up the book she threw and looks at the title. It read "Books for royal girls".
Kinea sighs before dropping it back and going to find a room.
The next day:
After everyone has their breakfast, Theodore leads the three of them through a forest that's east of the main city until they reach a sign that says "Please do not come closer without proper personnel".
"Ah so we're here"Theodore says.
Going a bit farther in and they reach a small green valley in a massive tree with green leaves about seventy metres in height and fifty in width, With a closed hole at the bottom.
"This is the spirit tree, where the three of you will be in for the rest of the week", Theodore says.
"The spirit tree? How those this work?", Kinea asks.
"This is a vessel made with only spiritual energy. A giant mass made by the goddess of nature, Gaia herself. The closed hole will open once you go close enough once you enter your body will be in a state of incubation in which you'll be pumped with spiritual energy but with no food nor water. You'll be semi-conscious almost throughout but you may occasionally have dreams but you are meant to be here for a week", Theodore explains.
"Wait so your telling me, I have to stay here for a week with no food or water?", Manye asks.
"Exactly but keep in mind if your not willing I won't blame you. But it's only if you want to take your training to another level", Theodore says.
Theodore's speech inspires Kinea as he walks into the tree.
Manye and Noir looks at him and then look back at themselves nodding and following him for their own seven days.
(Be well my new found students and please, please don't fall prey to the deceit of it of the spirit tree)Theodore thinks.
