Finally they stop, Marc sit, no too far from the group. Amarel just clean her outfit and straighten herself before looking at Marki and Col.
She look up and down over the two friend. Although she quickly went on to Marki after Col, she almost immidiately look away from Marki, looking disgrountled, she turn around and walk back to her chair.
" You can take them back where you found them Marc " she says
" What ?? No those dudes are perfect for the organisation ! " Marc respond
" A kid ? And...him ? I don't think so "
" What ? Whats wrong with him ? I was like him once you know " Marc coldly says
" And you took years before actually being competent " she says
" Hey ! You always says that ! it only took 4 month " he respond
" I can't them all "
" We can do that ! We can be hero's ! " Col says
Amarel turn her head to face Col, looking intrigue she ask Col what does he means.
" I mean hero's ! Helping people ! Protecting the weak ! Saving the world ! And stoping evil ! "
Marc pratically laugh, but Amarel justs sigh before standing up.
" Listen, yeah we save people, yeha we save the world, sometime. And yes, all the time we have to stop evil. But its simplistic, you way you said it. Its not about saving people, its not about protecting the weak, not saving the world nor stopping evil " she says
Marki look at Col, he wants to confort him but he doesn't seem to much care.
" But you you stop cultist from doing..cultist things ?? Doing horrible things !? "
" Calm down kid, where are you going with this ?? " she ask
" Maybe your not- "
Before Col could say anything Marki stop him, he wants to talk too.
" Listen, we aren't just here for...stopping evil or those kind of superstical and vague thing. We're here for...w-work ! And if...t-that...work could help make a better world. It...would be great, and that would be the point. Helping other, I-I don't want...to just...kill bad person... " he proudly says
" Hmmm nice try...Marki is it ? That, was kind of...somewhat great exposition. Would have probably work on someone else "
Marki, head falls down, not thinking it work, because why would it work ? He just wants her to already get her assistant to get them out of-
" But since Marc would find a way to make you join anyway. So I'll allow you to take the first training set. And we'll see if you survive " she says
" Yea- What ? " Marki ask
---- 30 min later ----
As the wall open, the areane show itself out of the wall of the basement. Self running from the far left end to the right of the arena stack, hundres of weapon, lots of different kind.
Marki didn't know half of those. But Col take a look at them, as he know each one of them. And he probably does, with how he handle them.
But before he could get his hand on the sharp weapon, Amarel stop him. Just giving him a little dagger and telling him to be careful with it.
" I'm a hero ! I can handle a dagger ! " Col says
" Hehe either your not joining our group anyway " she respond
As he looks back at Marc, something rapidly fly to him but he catch it, but not without getting him hit on the nose.
Marc calls him out, to prepare himself for combat.
Marki try to not get involve with this but Marc didn't care and took a weapon on his own, a rapiere. Marki had only a simple dagger.
" Why ? Can't I just prove that I'm- "
Before Marki could finish anything he almost got hit by the rapiere. He takes a few step back. But Marc strick again, and again, making Marki step more and more until he realize theres a wall behind him.
Marki try to attack too but Marc just slap Marki arm away before he could touch him. Marki try again but Marc just grab his wrist before trying to hit him with his rapiere.
But then Marki remember a time when he saw Frade in the same situation. Remembering it, Marki knows how to react, thanks to Frade.
Marki let go of his weapon but quickly catch it back and strick right into the stomach but as soon as the blade is on its way, Marc lift his left leg and kick the blade of Marki hand before throwing him into the ground.
" Nice, you have great technique for someone who reads book all day " Marc says
Marki didn't feel insult, if it was suppose to be one, he didn't care. He loves reading books.
" Whatever " Marki says with a smile
Marc than dash forwards rapiere straight in front of him, he than went for the strick but Marki, remembering things again, roll over, dodging Marc as he lands on the ground immidiately getting turning around.
Marki grab his dagger back, he than puts it in a way Frade would. Getting ready he makes a step forwards but is stop by the sudden rapiere throw at him.
He dodge it but that had leave room for Marc to run to Marki and land a punch. Marki fall down into the ground, but just before his own head could hit it, causing lots of pain, it stops.
Marki than look up to see Marc, holding his arm, stopping him from hitting his head.
He smile at him, before lefting Marki and grabbing the dagger. He pats his shoudler with a pround smile. He then grab the rapiere and went to put it back onto the shelf.
At the same time, Col finish his own test. No weapon, apparantly just fist. And it seems to have work.
" So, Amarel. I know you thinks there some potential in there. There a chance ! And surely- " Marc try to say
" Say no more Marc, I realize it myself. And thats true you have potential Marki. And you Col " she says
And before he could say something, Marki is push by Marc, an arm across his shoulder and the other on Marki shoulder.
Smiling and laughing, he reassures him that he will like it here. The mansion, the friends, the food and he jokelly says.
" And the boss nice as- " he laugh
He then receve an hit on the head by that same boss. But Marc continue to laugh as he pratically drag Marki with him.
Loking forwards to this Marki could only smile as he had finally, done something.
