Third person POV
Aife: "You bastard!" She kept on hitting Roel.
Roel: "Hey! Stop it!"
Kazaki: "Calm down, miss."
Kazaki tried to calm Aife down, but to no avail.
So, he put the necklace on her neck, causing her anger to go down.
Aife: "What happened here?"
Roel: "You hit me a lot. Ouch." He felt the pain on his face and arms.
Aife then quickly apologized to him, but Kazaki assured. "It's okay, miss."
Aife: "Yeah, this necklace keeps me from raging out."
Roel: "How?"
Aife: "I'll explain."
The three of them went to a restaurant down the block so Aife would explain about her necklace.
There, she explained to them that her necklace holds the ability called Suppression of Rage. It reduces anger and keeps her calm in some situations. Her mother was also a berserker, like herself. She was in Seven Knights order during the Great Demon army's invasion in 1056 SD. She was known to be brutal, and no enemy could escape her. Roel and Kazaki are both amazed and fascinated by that.
Roel: "Wow…"
Kazaki: "Amazing."
Aife then nodded. "Yes, and I was mostly picked on by other kids to see if they could make me release my rage by taking the necklace."
Roel: "What? That's not nice!"
Kazaki: "Those kids had no respect for you at all."
Aife: "Yeah, so, who are you two?"
Kazaki: "My name is Kazaki Kazan."
Roel: "My name is Roel Kale. Nice to meet you."
Roel then offered a handshake to Aife, but Kazaki rejected the handshake.
Aife then accepted. "My name is Aife Bathilda, the daughter of Ava Bathilda."
After that, they became friends.
Once they had finished their simple meal, they continued on with their conversation. Aife asked the two boys about their families' social standing and class.
Roel: "I came from a noble family."
Kazaki: "I am from a peasant family."
Aife: "Oh, so you two are friends, right?"
Kazaki: "Yes, we are."
Aife: "That's great. It's uncommon for those who were from different social classes to be friends."
Roel: "Yeah, we are."
After that, Aife asked them if they are going to join the Knights' Academy.
Roel: "Yes."
Kazaki: "Me too."
Aife: "Okay, but you two have to pass the Dark Knight entrance exam and also you have to complete the basic training of knights in order to be adventurers."
Because of these requirements, Roel and Kazaki exchanged glances at each other, feeling a bit uneasy.
They then looked at her.
Roel: "Don't worry, we will do our best to pass the entrance exam."
Kazaki: "We want to be adventurers, so we will do our best to complete the basic training of knights."
Aife: "That's great. Me too."
Roel: "Wow, we had something in common now."
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and the three of them grew as friends. They spent their time together hunting, doing mock battles, studying, and learning for the Dark Knight entrance exam. During that time they also became stronger and stronger.
