"Hey, When do you think the old man is going to give us a mission? We've been training non-stop for seven months, don't you think that's too much, shu?" Tatsumi says sounding bored
"I'm not sure, we do have the royal army selection tournament coming up, He will give us missions before then so we can have experience i'm sure!" Shu sounds confident, smiling brightly towards Tatsumi.
"I hope we get placed in the same division in the tournament! I want to see how we do against each other in a real fight! You better not hold back Shu!" Tatsumi's smile shining brightly as if he had no worries in his life.
"Leric, Tatsumi, Ariel, Sasha, Berig, Merin, and shu! You seven are in company five to be accompanied by ten sworn in knights, they will not interfere unless needed, your mission is to subjugate a group of bandits along Twery Road. You leave in thirty minutes." The Sergeant barks at them coldly.
"Can you believe it, we're in the same company as Shu and Tatsumi, I really want to talk to them!" said a tall brown haired girl with bright green eyes smiling widely towards the backs of Shu and Tatsumi.
"Uhm..who are you..?" said a cold deep tone belonging to a giant man, blonde hair and blue eyes with a scar over his eye.
"OH! I'm sorry my name is Sasha! What's yours?" she asks excitedly, not nervous at all by the giant man.
"My name's Berig, aren't you afraid of me because of how I look?" Berig responds confused yet happily.
"Nope! Not at all! Honestly I feel like you're more of a fluffy dog!" Sasha speaks calmly staring happily at him.
Berig stands there confused but laughs loudly and speaks softly,
"Let's be friends Sasha!" Smiling happily at her with a soft look in his eyes.
They all begin loading into a carriage setting off from the fortress.
"Hey, big man, How are you in a fight?" Tatsumi asks impatiently, smiling widely.
"Names Berig, and I can handle myself fine. Why?" He asks confused
"I wanna spar with you when we get back!"
"Alright, I'll spar with you, Tatsumi." Berig Smiles
"How do you know my name, Berig?" Tatsumi stares confused as he didn't say his name.
"Who wouldn't know the cadet who hasn't lost a sparring session yet? The undefeated cadet." Berig smirks laughing slightly
The carriage comes to a halt as the driver speaks
"I don't have any cargo, I promise you, just let me go!"
"We will see for ourselves, in any case your carriage will become ours anyways." speaks a cold raspy voice.
The knights sit still in the back looking at the cadets motioning for them to go take care of it as they watch.
Tatsumi dashes out of the back of the carriage sword drawn, slashing towards an unsuspecting bandit cutting open his throat bleeding as he falls the other bandits all unsheathe their weapons as the cadets fly out of the carriage.
"Their seems to be around 20 of them guys!" says a short blue haired girl with silver eyes wearing the cadets uniform.
"Get around Ariel so she can cast magic, protect her at any cost!" yells Berig.
The six remaining cadets form a tight circle around ariel as she begins casting her recon magic and offensive magic.
"Leric, Merin! To fight them, the two twins enter into a fight against the bandits charging at them their black hair flying around in the wind as they fight.
RECON MAGIC: EAGLES EYE
A bright yellow circle appears beneath her feet summoning an eye above them all she opens her mouth and says,
"There is twenty-one of them there is a man hiding in the woods in the distance."\
As she says that the cadets disperse stabbing and slashing the bandits their blood spewing everywhere as the bandits scream falling to the ground. Tatsumi charges towards a group of 5 bandits.
"Crush him!" the bandits scream charging towards him and in one swift movement all five of them lose their heads, the blood spewing from their necks as they fall to their knees.
Shu begins to charge at a group of three, stabbing one in the stomach twisting and turning around quickly pulling his sword with him leaving a deep slash wound in the mans stomach as he falls, mid spin his sword comes the second mans neck cleanly taking it off. Shu jumps and slashes directly downwards upon the last bandit who goes to block the attack but shu's sword cuts directly through his sword and his body cutting him in two.
"Ariel, do it." Shu says calmly
"Hell's Inferno"
A large tornado made of fire engulfs the remaining bandits torching them to a crisp.
Tatsumi charges towards where the last bandit hiding is, slashing towards the tree he is behind, Tatsumi slashes down missing entirely except catching the hood of the bandit taking it off as the bandit leaps back they look up meeting Tatsumi's eyes.
There staring back into him were the most beautiful woman looking at him, purple eyes and beautiful silky black hair with a beautiful necklace.
"Go.." Tatsumi mutters
She runs off quickly as the remaining cadets begin to get closer, Tatsumi raises a dagger slashing his eye to fake a fight.
"Tatsumi are you alright!?" Ariel screams in worry
"I'm fine, he got away, let's head back to the fort."
They walk back towards the carriage and load in with the knights saying,
"You all did well, nice job."
The carriage begins back up the road towards the fort.
