The next day Simon wakes up yawning, he walks over to the bathroom. There are scars that are visible all over his body. Simon places his hand over a huge scar on his chest while looking at himself in the mirror. "Why can't I remember where these came from...? Eh, must be from training." Simon pushes his hair back and his eyes are green. Knock Knock Knock. Simon washes his face and brushes his teeth, he puts his hair in a ponytail and walks out of the bathroom putting on a shirt, Simon runs to the door and opens it with his toothbrush still in his mouth. Sarya stood there waiting for Simon. She looked up at Simon as he gave her a thumbs up. "You always wake up late, good thing I came by. Are you going to stand there or are you going to let me in?" Simon nods and Sarya walks into the room, she walks over to the curtain. "Tch, always.." She opens them and Simon hides in the bathroom. "There's no way you're this afraid of the sunlight, Simon." Sarya laughs at Simon as he walks out from the bathroom sighing, his toothbrush is gone and he's standing outside the bathroom door. "No, I just had to put my toothbrush back... Yeah!" Sarya could tell he's lying. "Come here." Sarya sat on the chair near the window, Simon walked over to her. "Sit on the ground, I'm going to properly put your hair in a ponytail. Until we cut it." Simon sat on the ground confused but did as she said. Sarya fixes his hair and pulls out her own ribbon she had on her arm. "Why are you being nicer? Is it because yesterday?" Sarya visibly angry, slapping him on the back of his head. "Don't remind me of yesterday you idiot! And I can't be nice once and a while?! Is that a crime?" She got up walking towards the door, Simon stood up quickly and followed.
They walked down the stairs of the Inn, a middle-age man with gray hair and white eyes calls out to them, "Hey! How'd you two sleep? Need something to eat! Got to have strength when you're fighting that Grandmaster?" Sarya doesn't reply walking towards the front door. "I'll take you up on that offer!" Simon sits in the chair while Sarya slowly turns around looking at Simon. "Oh come on, Sarya! He's being nice, plus I'm starving, you haven't fed me yesterday." Sarya sighs noticing they didn't eat even after that fight with Lothain yesterday, her stomach growling lightly. "See, you're hungry as well. Come on and sit down, I'll use the money the master gave us." The man came out the back with two plates of food, he placed the food on the table giving Sarya a smirk. "It won't bite back, try some." The man smiles at Sarya. Sarya clearly embarrassed sat down quickly not looking at Simon or the man, she picks up the fork while looking at the food. "Enjoy the meal! I hope to see you folks again some day!" The man leaves Simon and Sarya. "Are you just going to stare at me or are you going to eat?" Sarya looks at Simon who was trying not to laugh. "Sorry, sorry, I just can't handle your face! You're not really used to eating around others aren't you?" He laughs almost falling out of his chair. "SHUT UP, eat your food so we can get out of here!" She slams her fork into the table causing everyone to look over at them. "Okay, okay, let's finish up here." After eating and leaving the money on the table.
As they left the Inn a ball dropped from the sky in front of them, at least five kids ran over for the ball and were all afraid to ask for the ball until one walked up to them. "Sorry if that hit you.. Can we get that back?" A kid with black hair asked Sarya, she looked back at Simon and he picked it up. "Simon?" Simon looks at the blue ball deeply, Simon smiles and spins the ball in his finger. Everyone stops and stares at Simon, he starts spinning the ball on his finger. He throws the ball into the sky as it starts to glow, he jumps off the ground above the ball creating a bigger blue ball made of something, he kicks it into the sky and it explodes into many colors. Everyone stares at the colors in awe. Simon lands on the ground and the ball lands in his hand, he gives it to the kid as his eyes are still sparkling from the show he just put on. "Go and play and be careful." Simon told the kid and he ran away with his friends while waving, he waves back at them. Sarya taps him on the shoulder and he turns around itching his head. "I never knew you could do that.", "Now that you say that, I can't. I just thought of an explosion, that had many colors." Sarya rolls her eyes and walks towards the guild that wasn't far from the Inn, Simon runs up next to her and they both walk towards the guild.
As they walked towards the guild a muscular man who's bald, sits in the alleyway, he has a huge sword on his back and many scars on his face and body. Two other people who look weaker than the man walking up to him grins on their face. "Captain! Turns out that is the Princess that went missing about ten years ago." A man with white hair and yellow eyes, a scar over his eye and a red bandana told the man. "Keep quiet you idiot. If anyone hears us we're doomed." A man with purple hair and having his eyes closed and horns on his head corrects his friend. The man stands up with a smile on his face opening his eyes and he stares at them with his beaming red eyes. "Then that means we can get a huge pay day! Let's get over to the guild and regroup with the others, once everyone is in we can bag her tonight or maybe tomorrow." He walks out the alleyway with his men, they walk to the guild with grins on their faces.
Simon and Sarya walked into the guild going to the front desk and a beautiful lady with light brown hair and light blue eyes greeted the two. "It's good to see you two, did you have a good rest?" The lady at the front desk asked. "Yes, we did. Is the Grandmaster here?", "Wait Sarya, maybe we should ask her name first." Sarya scoffs at Simon. "My name is Ayame, I'm the person who will take you to the Guild Master." Simon nods while shaking her hand. "I already introduced myself yesterday but I'm Simon. This is Sarya." Ayame smiles while Sarya looks away. "Anyway, the Guild Master is waiting for you two in the training field, I apologize if she's mean." Simon tilts his head to the side in confusion, "The Guild Master? I thought we were meeting the Grandmaster, and she's mean?", "Well to explain she's the Grandmaster and a Guild Master. It's a long story." Ayame explained. "Just how old and mean is this lady?" Ayame covers her mouth, she turns around hiding her face from them. The other adventurers who are standing around looking at them in shock and disbelief. "Great, look at what you did. You never call a lady old, Simon." Simon itches his neck with a nervous smile, "Sorry.." Sarya sighs, "Where is the training ground?" Ayame points down the hall on the left. Sarya quickly pulls him away. Ayame turns back around as she laughs quietly to herself, she sits in a chair with her eyes watery from laughing too hard. "He is so dead.."
Simon and Sarya walk down the hall, or Sarya is dragging him down the hall. They reached the yard behind the guild and it was filled with sand and a chair and table sat in the middle of the field and a lady dressed in a noble outfit while drinking something, she had bags under her green gray eyes, and her long shade of amber hair color. "Finally, y'know I've been waiting for you for about an hour I think." She places her cup on the table that was next to the chair. Sarya quickly dipped to the side while Simon stood there. "Why are you hiding?" Sarya pulls him to the side. "Don't make a sound!" Simon sat next to her hiding behind a wall. "I think she already saw us, Sarya. Why are you hiding all of a sudden?", "I said shut up, just be quiet for once." The Guild Master stands there with a blink expression, she sighs before moving her hair back showing her elf ears. "Why are you two hiding? Didn't you want a test?" She asked the two hiding behind the wall. "Well... we don't anymore! Sorry for taking up your time." Sarya replied behind the wall. "I swear... I hate doing my job. Come out or I'll destroy that damn wall!" She shouted with a vein on her forehead. Simon looks at Sarya who has been sweating the whole time. "We have to go before it's too late.." Simon stood up look down at the nervous Sarya. "What has you acting like this, Sarya? Are you not feeling well? Just stay here, I'll take my test and we can leave." Simon walks out into the sandy training ground. The lady watches in annoyance as Simon steps out, "Finally, so who are you?" Simon points at himself smiling. "My name is Simon." The lady looks at him up and down, "And what magic can you use? I heard the magical tool didn't want to activate after you touched it." Simon rubs the back of his head thinking, "For all I know I can't use magic, and I can't even feel it." She places her hand on her chin, thinking. "So you called to challenge me? You either must be real foolish or really want to die. But fine, where's the other person who was with you?" Simon's eyes look to the side where Sarya is still hiding. "She went home, she... wasn't feeling good." She smiles looking at Simon, "Oh really?" The lady throws the tea cup as lightning covers it, Simon's eyes widen as he tries to grab it, it explodes breaking the wall. Sarya sat on the ground looking forward, locking eyes with her. The lady, taken aback, looks at the nervous Sarya. "After all these years, you wanna show yourself? You must be kidding me!" Sarya stood up as her the lady yelled at her, Sarya avoided looking into her eyes. "Y'know when I heard you left I looked for you day and night, mom was in a panic and even Ayla was looking for you and now of all days you appear. Where have you been Sarya!" She yells at Sarya, her anger growing. "You two know each other?" The Guild Master rubs her temple in annoyance, "Yes, this is my younger sister! Who went missing for ten years?!" Sarya opens her mouth, "Rina, where I've been is none of your business, I ran away from home for a reason." Rina raised her eyebrow and her face changed to disgust like she hated the disrespect. "You must have a death wish, you little punk. You don't know what you did when you ran away. Now I'm pissed." Rina holds out her hand and lightning strikes around her, she grabs a bolt of lightning that strikes around her.
Rina pulls the lightning bolt like an arrow, she shoots the arrow towards Sarya catching her off guard. Simon jumps in front of Sarya catching the lightning bolt. "?!" Rina stared at Simon in annoyance. Simon closes his hand crushing the bolt, Simon turns around seeing if Sarya was okay but her face was pale. "You okay?" Simon whips back around blocking an axe-kick with his arm from Rina, the force from the attack pushes him down some, Rina appears ducking under Simon with her fist covered in electricity, she punches Simon. "Step out of my way! Or I'll make your life a living hell!" Rina tries to pull her arm away but she can't. Simon caught her fist with his other hand and he stared at her with his blue eyes. "Why would you attack your family? I don't get this royal nonsense but when she's with me she's just another person I know, my friend and if you wish to harm her you'll have to kill me.." Simon looks up to see another Rina in the air. He grabs by her leg, he throws her to the side, smashing into the wall disappearing, he throws the other back she catches herself and does a few flips before stopping. Simon stands there relaxed, Sarya stands back. Rina fixes her hair while looking at him with a smile. "You aren't like the others, judging from that throw and noticing which one was my clone is impressive. But this matter between me and my sister is a serious one, so move or die." Simon itches his head, dropping his serious act, "I can't do that, I owe Sarya a lot already. I could name it all- " Rina appears in front of Simon at quick speeds, she swings at Simon making him jump back, he looked up and saw lightning coming down on him, he gets hit slamming him into the ground as he got up Rina was already there swinging at Simon with bloodlust, Simon raises his arms to block it but she changed her punch swinging at Simon's stomach. She punches him with full force throwing him back slamming into a wall. "Simon!" Sarya shouted for Simon and Rina dusted her shirt that was covered in sand. "You have some nerve to drop your guard in front of me.." She said with anger, as the dust cleared Simon was standing rotating his arm. "The test started, right?" Rina looked at him in annoyance. "You're no normal human, are you? Just what are you made out of?" Simon stood up cracking his neck, "Made out of pure skill! At least I think." Simon blitzed Rina. They made eye contact with each other, Rina swings at Simon, he quickly dodged her attack grabbing her face and slamming her into the sand making a bunch of sand shoot into the sky. Sand rains down from the sky, lightning connects with sand bouncing off small pieces of sand slowly growing in size, a huge green lightning bolt strikes where Rina and Simon were. Simon jumps out the smoke and there's smoke coming off his body, Rina stood in the middle of the area with her hair messy and thunder striking all around her. "That hurt, I won't lie, but it won't happen again." Rina became the lightning moving towards Simon, he readies himself, as the lightning came closer Rina popped out with her fist swinging at Simon, he turned to look at her, she was surprised but kept going. Simon caught her fist and pulled her towards him, he moved his other hand to her stomach with a small ball of energy. "(How is he doing that?!)" He blasted her back being dragged through the ground she bounced up. People from the guild started to fill in watching the fight from the big BANG, from earlier.
Ayame barged out the doors and saw the fight, she turned her head and saw Sarya standing there in shock. The two rushed at each other punching each other, she punched him in the face and he punched her on the side of her face, the two shot back but recovered quickly. Rina grabs a lightning bolt making it an arrow, it grows as she pulls it back, she smiles at Simon and he does the same. She releases the arrow at him and he runs towards it. "Is he crazy?! That arrow can kill anything in its way!" One of the spectators shouted, they were waiting for whatever happened next. "That attack is going to kill you! Move out the way!" Sarya shouted out to Simon. Simon runs at the arrow, he jumps over it, grabbing the arrow of the air and slams it into the ground. Surprising everyone, Rina still has a smile on her face. "Why are you smiling?" Rina starts to laugh as she snaps her fingers and a whole pillar of lightning comes down on Simon, Rina's eyes have electricity surging from them as she smiles. "He's done for..", "That attack has over 10 million volts right?", "If she was serious then it was beyond 40 million." As the lightning pillar dissipates Simon stands in the middle of the area smoking and his hair falls over his face as the ribbon slowly falls to the ground as he stands there looking up at the sky. Ayame looked at Sarya as her eyes lost color and she was shaking, as she went to tap her Sarya charged at Rina with tears. Rina quickly turns to the side but it was too late, she was punched in the face making her stumble. "You little!" Rina swings at Sarya, she dodges it punching her again in the face. "(Is she… Trying to kill me..?!)" Rina catches Sarya fist seeing her tears in her eyes as her eyes are bright gray with a green aura coming from them, Sarya pushes her fist through hitting Rina again, Ayame is speechless so is everyone else. Rina stumbles back again and Sarya swung again but Rina caught it and she looked pissed. "Okay you little brat, you wanna play grown up! Let's go!" Rina stomps her foot causing lightning to strike around her. "I'm not afraid of you, reject!" Sarya held out her hand and her sword appeared as her surroundings became more green like nature. The two release they're energy, the mana coming off from the fight is making everyone sweat like they're in front of a godly present. The two guards who were looking after Sarya are on their knees while sweating, the whole castle is feeling, making everyone panic. Sarya charged at Rina swinging at her with the sword, Rina ducks under one swing creating a lightning bolt in her hand, Rina swings upward Sarya blocks it while jumping back. The two charge at each other clashing their sword and lightning bolt that took the form of a sword, they swing at each other while blocking each other with each swing, they just keep clashing swords, they speed up sending out a heavy wind making everyone who can now stand look in awe.
The green aura covering Sarya grows and she starts to overtake Rina. "COME ON!" Rina yells with a grin while her aura spikes higher. They jump back from each other charging up a move, Sarya points her blade at Rina as her surroundings become like a forest, Rina points her lightning sword into the sky while smiling and her surroundings become like an open rocky area with lightning striking all around her, the clouds start to roll in. "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT, SARYAAAA!!!" Rina shouted. "You two stop now!" Ayame pulls a small paper with a symbol on it from her pocket, it glows a ghostly blue, something makes her stop. "I'LL KILL YOU!!", "Show me all that rage!" The two sisters yelled at each other as they charged at each other with everything behind their attack, they clashed in the middle causing a huge explosion. "Ghostly Barrier!" Ayame covers the explosion with her seal, using most of her mana. Everyone stands up in inspection to see who won, some pass out from the power alone. The kingdom guards close in on the Adventurers Guild.
The clouds in the sky clear as the air becomes lighter, the smoke in the arena slowly dissipates. "I came just on time." A knight with silver eyes and long short black hair with a scar going across his nose, he wore the kingdom's armor but it was more armored than the others, he had a spear on his back. "These two made the whole Kingdom shake." Another knight replied, he had brown hair and light blue eyes and had small horns under his hair but you can see it, he had on a lab coat with his armor on. "You girls do hold a lot of power, don't ya agree?" A lady with a black Stetson hat, turquoise eyes and long white hair asked the other two. The three stood in the middle of the two sisters stopping their swords either using magic or with their weapons. Sarya jumps back, Rina lets go of her lightning sword and it dissipates. "The Knightly Order, what do you guys want.." She walks away from them as a lower knight kicks down the door. "Now you're kicking down my door without my permission? You guys never change." Ayame stood behind Rina as two ghostly figures that looked like Ayame brought out a chair and table that had tea or coffee. "Guild Master Rina Yeslar, you violated your agreement with the Kingdom of Hope! Cause much damage to the surroundings and scare not only your workers but the people!" The guy with black hair stops the guy from shouting anymore. "But Captain Shiraki-", "That's enough, Murai, take everyone back to guard. I'll deal with this." Murai nods his head, as he walks out the guards follow behind him, the lady is still there but she went over to talk with Sarya who is shielding Simon. "Y'know we can't leave without giving you a punishment Rina, or you could come back to The Order." Rina places her cup on the table, closing her eyes before laughing at him making everyone look at her, she stops after a while and wipes her tears of laughter off her face. "You can't be serious Shiraki. I won't repeat myself again, like I told you before." She looks up at Shiraki with a serious face making him and the lady shake from the stare. "You were looking for your sister right? What if we help?" Rina thinks about it, she stares at Sarya then sighs. "I'll look for her myself, now stop pestering me or I'll get mad." She picks up her cup drinking some of what's inside it, Shiraki grins at her with a plan. "Do it Fuyu." The lady with the hat nodded before holding her hand up to Sarya. "Sorry girly." Fuyu freezes Sarya and Simon, who hasn't moved since Rina hit him with the lightning. "Shiraki! Why are you hurting random people?" Ayame shouted, Rina raised her hand stopping Ayame. She picked up her cup and sipped from it again. "You're making a huge mistake doing that." Shiraki chuckles, "What are you talking about? She looks just like you so either that kid is your daughter which is impossible or your sister. Either way we'll take them both in for questioning." Rina sips her tea again with a smile, Ayame raises her eyebrow and anger, Rina places her cup back on the table and crosses her legs. "Take her just know, there's someone who won't allow that." Ayame throws a paper talisman at Shiraki, he dodges it by cutting the talisman without drawing his sword. "Ayame you were always stronger than me but now the gap between you and me is even bigger. You should come back-" Something flies by the side of his face cutting him off, Shiraki whips around and sees Fuyu stepping back from her ice cube she used to cover Sarya and Simon. "What's happening?!", "I don't know! Something is breaking my ice from the inside!" Shiraki stares at the ice and sees Simon staring at him with his eyes glowing blue and black electricity slowly breaking out the cube. "Who's that guy with her? Why can't I feel any mana from him?" The cube breaks more and more until it shatters completely covering the ground in a cold blue mist. Ayame's ghost goes through catching Sarya from falling. "Take care of her for me, she's strong, stronger than me. She can't stand the cold." Ayame's ghost nods as it brings Sarya to Ayame. now Simon stands alone in the middle of the icy mist with his hands made into a fist and he looks angry.
Simon's eyes glow while staring at the two, he slowly walks towards Fuyu and Shiraki. "Is that the guy that was with the girl?" Fuyu nods, sees his hair and notices it's black but the thing that stands out the most is his blue beaming eyes. "Hey, we're taking you in for questioning so if you'll be so nice come with us-" Simon appears in Shiraki face swinging his fist towards his face with a blink expression, ice covers Simon's fist making him look at his fist and he jumps back. "Thank me later." Fuyu covered Simon's fist with ice, making him retreat. "He's fast, but I could've blocked it, Fuyu." She just rolls her eyes as they stare at Simon who can't break the ice off his arm. "Listen buddy, that ice can't be broken, that's harder than any metal in this world." Fuyu explains but Simon charges at her with the same speed, her eyes glow. "Did she forget he just broke out of her ice?" Ayame asked Rina. "Just sit and watch, Ayame." Rina replied.
Simon appears in front of Fuyu about to attack but he gets blasted by the ice freezing him completely. "That coulda been bad.", "Good job Fuyu, now let's get rid of this mist." Shiraki slashes the air using the wind current to send the mist into the air spreading it. Clearing the mist made everyone able to see the battle and Simon who was completely frozen, Shiraki turns to face Rina who is sipping her tea or coffee. "You really thought some random kid with black hair, could stop us?", "I never thought, I knew." 'CRACK POP CRACK'. The ice that held Simon started to crack making everyone look at him, he never looked away from Fuyu making her step back. "Just what is this kid!? Is he even human or even demon?" Simon breaks out the ice block shocking Fuyu, before anything could be said Simon appears in front of Fuyu roundhouse kicking her to the side slamming into a wall, he rushed towards her bringing his fist back. He throws his fist at her, Shiraki steps in blocking Simon's fist, the force was so strong the pressure itself destroyed the wall behind him, Simon brings his other fist around, swings Shiraki, he quickly ducks under Simon's punch. Once Simon's fist connected with the wall he left a huge hole in the wall. Shiraki grabs Simon by his arm throwing him away, as Simon flies away he does a back-flip with black energy balls around him, he points at Shiraki and they fly towards him. "What magic is that?!" Shiraki pulls out his sword slapping all the energy balls away, Simon blitzes him being face to face. Simon stares at Shiraki he pulls his fist back and swings at him with all his might, with his fist giving off black electricity. "That's enough." Rina catches Simon's wrist, the wind from his fist shot past Shiraki's head, creating a huge hole in the side of the arena. "If you keep punching holes in my arena. I'll punch a hole through you, kid!" Rina shouted at Simon, snapping him out of trance, his eyes changing back to green as he itches his head nervously. "Sorry, I forgot what I was doing." Rina sighs, "You're fine, just go somewhere. And you can leave Shiraki, take Fuyu with you and don't bother me again." Shiraki looks at Simon with hate in his eyes. "Fine, we'll leave now, but you'll have to answer to the King. You're not always safe Rina.." Rina looks at him in annoyance. "Yeah, yeah, get out." He picks up the unconscious Fuyu and walks away leaving the arena and the guild. "Can you let go of my hand now?" Rina leans towards him, looking at his eyes, he's confused. Sarya jumps in between Simon and Rina. "Too close! Just who do you think you are!?" Sarya shouted at her sister, Rina sighs annoyed with her but turns around to walk away. "Ayame, take them to see Hiroto and be sure they come to me right after." Ayame nods as Rina walks away, Ayame walks over to Sarya and Simon sits on the ground holding his chest with one hand. "Is he okay?", "I told you to stop using that, but no! You never listen, you idiot!" Sarya begins to heal Simon and he recovers jumping up to his feet. "Did I pass the test?", "Don't ignore me!" Ayame smiles as Sarya yells at Simon as his eyes tear up from her shouting at him.
A few moments later Simon, Sarya, and Ayame are walking down the hall of the Adventurers Guild. Simon is staring at everything in awe, Sarya is walking next to Ayame staring ahead. "We're going to see a doctor to make sure you two are okay then you'll go and see The Guild Master after.", "Do we really need to see her again?" Sarya replied with an annoyed expression on her face. "Yes, she is the one who will approve your rank and give you your license." Sarya sighed in annoyance, Simon was confused but nodded with everything Ayame said.
"So you really are the Princess who went missing?" Sarya nods. "I have my reasons for running away..", "I bet you do." They walk down the hall in silence. "How did you two meet? And how are you two so strong?" Sarya thought about it before speaking. "We were forced to fight each other, until the other either died or passed out for eight years I think. His training, from what I heard was the worst." Ayame's stares at Sarya as she looks forward before looking at her confused. "What, did I say something wrong?" They reach the end of the hall getting to a door with an dark aura leaking through the door, Ayame opens the door and there a man with a lab coat sat in a chair with all the lights in that room off and the lab coat man turns in his chair looking at the group with goggles on his face and a hood over his head. "What brings you here, Ayame? Am I going to get yelled at again? I told Rina, I'll stop the big booms.", "Relax Hiroto, I brought people to see you, and turn on the lights." Clap Clap, Hiroto claps his hands and the lights cut on and the room is cleaner than you think, it looks like a normal med bay. Hiroto takes off his hood and goggles, a man with dark blue hair and reptile slate gray eyes and sharp teeth. "So, who am I dealing with?" Sarya straightens herself and Simon looks over at her and copies her. "This is Sarya and Simon, they came here yesterday wanting to become adventurers, the Guild Master tested their... abilities and she sent them here for a check up.", "Actually he's here to become one, I'm just helping him get through." Sarya corrects Ayame. Hiroto thinks of something before staring at Sarya intently, he snaps his fingers before turning around grabbing a book and throws it at Sarya, she catches it and it glows a natural green color. "So you're related to Rina… wait you're Sarya! Her lost sister! Is Simon some type of personal knight?" Sarya turns to look at Simon and he looks at her. "You okay?", "I'm feeling fine, why?", "Nothing, nothing.." Hiroto points towards the bed. "Simon, if you'll please sit here and I'll check you out to make sure you work properly." Simon sat on the bed and Hiroto checked out the simple things like hearing for his heart and making sure his reflexes work. "How old are you Simon?", "I'm sixteen." Hiroto drops his tool in shock, he turns towards Ayame and she shrugs. "Your body is pretty built, what type of training did you do?" As Simon opened his mouth Sarya cut him off. "He pulled a boulder from the bottom of Deadver Tips, up that mountain for about two days. And as he got better he pulled two of them and so on." Ayame and Hiroto listen to this nodding their head in disbelief. Ayame walks out and Hiroto sits in a chair, burnt out from just a check up.
After a while Ayame stood near the door and Hiroto walked over to her, to report. "The scars on this boy's body are a bunch and he's only sixteen year-old, but they look like they've been on his body for years and when I checked them out his eyes were lifeless like they were a curse. He can't remember how he got them, he just shrugged it off a training scars.", "Was there anything else?" Hiroto had sweat going down his face afraid to say anything. "Say it Hiroto.", "He has no mana but there's something else protecting his body. I'm not sure what it is.", "I already know that I can see ghosts, after all I am one." Hiroto takes her out of the room. "What are they talking about?", "Who knows, I just want to get out of here soon." Sarya was annoyed as usual, and Hiroto came in with a smile. "You're all done, Ayame will take you to see Rina now.", "Finally, we can go but have to go to someone equally annoying." They leave saying goodbye to Hiroto, alone in the room.
They walk to the other side of the guild Simon is looking out the window as the sun sets and Sarya and Ayame walk next to each other. "Hey, just what type of training did he do to get that many scars on his body?" Sarya thinks about it before looking at Simon with a sad expression. "When I met Simon he had those scars. He had those before, I don't know how or why but it wasn't from training." She answered looking forward. They reached the door with many people waiting in front of it. Ayame stepped forward, "Why are you all here?", "We're here to talk to the Guild Master! It's about a monster not far from the kingdom, it's stopping us from doing our commissions." One of them shouted. "I'll let her know, everyone, go back to the lobby." Ayame pushed through them opening the door and the Guild Master, Rina sat talking to a noble who wore blue and white, he had blond hair from what they could see. "Well, Mr. Toyonobu, it seems I'm a little busy. So I'll talk with you later, about that problem." Rina places her cup on the table and the man gets up walking towards the door he locks eyes with Simon, he looks at him in disgust. "We'll see, Ms. Yeslar." He walks out with an angry look on his face. Sarya sat in the chair in front of Rina's desk, while Simon stood there. "I'll tell you about that later, Ayame. Why are you standing, kid?" Rina asked Simon who stood there. "Simon?" Sarya called out to the standing still Simon. "...Sorry... I was thinking.." Simon sat down in the chair, his eyes losing their glow. "Ayame, why are we those idiots yelling about now?" Rina sighs, asking Ayame. "There seems to be a monster on the outskirts of the kingdom. Should we send, New Moon?" Rina shakes her head, "No, They won't be back for... five days? I would go but I'm in trouble with the Kingdom right now.." Rina leans back in her chair annoyed, she thinks about something before snapping her fingers. "I got an idea. How about we let our 'rookie' team go and deal with it?", "Guild Master, we don't know the threat of this mission." Rina sighs, "Details, details, I know what they're capable of." Sarya looks at her confused and angry. "Who said we'll do it? And didn't I say I don't want to be an adventurer.", "Don't do it~ You'll just be weak, little sister~" Sarya slams her hands on the table, she looks at Rina in anger. "Fine! We'll take care of it!" Rina has a smug smile on her face while seeing how Sarya reacted. "Good~" Sarya's face is red from embarrassment. "You tricked me!", "What? Me? No way. You guys can deal with it tomorrow morning." Rina looks away with a misfit smile. Simon sat there watching Sarya argue with Rina, his eyes still the same and Ayame notices his stare. "(What's the matter with him? His eyes... they're so... lifeless..)" Simon looks at Ayame, causing her to quickly look away.
Simon and Sarya walk out of the guild, it's late at night. Sarya is holding a piece of paper. "I can't believe she just pushed this onto us! ARRGHH! I hate her!" Simon watches her rage in silence. Sarya looks at him, she stops as Simon stops after a few seconds. "Are you okay? You've been off ever since we entered that 'cow's' office." Simon looks up at the stars thinking about something. "Simon?" Simon looks at Sarya, she borrows her eyebrows waiting on him to answer. "What do you think of... demons? Do you think, there's hope for them besides this kingdom? Will others ever take them in? Will they be marked as the evil beast?" Simon's eyes stare into Sarya's, she's taken aback by his question. "Why did you ask me that? Why are you asking that now?" Sarya crosses her arms staring at Simon. "Why do people hate what they call 'demons'? Yes they're different by hair color and they have horns but they all have feelings like humans. Are humans afraid of a demon becoming as powerful as the Demon Queen? What if some of them had nothing to do with it, what if they were too young to understand?" Simon's empty eyes stared into Sarya's, before she could say anything Simon turned back around. "Sorry about that, let's get back to the Inn. I'm feeling a little sleepy." Life returns back to Simon's eyes as he smiles at Sarya, he walks ahead of Sarya towards the Inn. Sarya watches him walk away with worry, she looks at the paper then back at the Guild. "...." Sarya turns back and follows Simon to the Inn. In the shadows of the alleyway, the men from before watches as Sarya runs towards Simon. The bald man smiles sinisterly at the running figure of Sarya, the man with the bandana opened his mouth. "To be honest, I never thought that monster block, would've given us a chance to grab her." A man with purple hair, his eyes closed, and a horn on the side of his head replied, "We should rush, we can grab her tomorrow when she's done tiring herself out." The bald man nods, rubbing his chin. "Yes, let's do that. Rest up well men, tomorrow we strike!" The bald man turns around walking deeper into the darkness, his men followed behind, they all smile by the loot they'll get when they take Sarya.
The next day Sarya and Simon are walking down a path in the forest, Sarya leads the way as Simon walks behind her yawning. "Are we there yet?" Sarya ignores Simon while looking at the paper. Simon looks around seeing trees that are split in two and dead animals in the distance. Simon with his arms resting behind his head looks ahead, ahead of them, about five goblins surround a boy pointing his sword at them. "What is the mission about, Sarya?" Sarya looks at the paper and the map, "Not sure, might just be a Dire Wolf." Simon looking up at the sky while thinking, thought about what's ahead of them. "There's something wrong here... can I see your dagger?" Sarya stops raising her eyebrow, she squints her eyes not knowing what he's up to. "Okay..." She pulls out her dagger from her side, she hands it to him, Simon inspects it with a grin. "I'll be back.", "So you're going to leave me behind?" Simon smiles nervously, waving his hand. "You'll be okay, there's no way a few wolves isn't anything for you.. Anyway, later!" Simon vanishes from his place while Sarya stares at where he stood with anger. "I swear... I'm going to kill you, myself." Simon dashes from tree to tree, he closes in closer and closer to the boy. "Get back! All of you!" The boy shouted at the goblins, he swings his sword at them, they dodged and kicked the boy back as another hit him with its club and the others laughed as they kicked him. One of them raises their club aiming for the boy's head, he looks up at the goblin as its red eyes stare into his orange ones, the goblin smiles while bringing down its club. The goblin's head was cut off, the blood from the goblin slats on the boy and the other goblins. "Nnngh!" One of the goblins looks at its headless comrade, they all look at Simon who had the goblin's blood on his face while the head rolled on the ground. Simon stands tall while looking at the goblins, his face looks different, he stares at the goblins with an emotionless expression. "One.."
The four goblins charged at Simon, one of them attacked Simon, he looked at the goblin swinging his leg so fast and hard the top half of that goblin was blasted. The other three goblins look at Simon with fear, as the blood of the goblin drips off his leg. "Two.." Simon throws his dagger forward at full speed, they stare at the dagger, Simon appears in front of one of them, he pulled back his fist and punched downward slamming the goblin's head downward, killing it on impact. "Three.." The other two goblins stare at Simon, the dagger from before stabs one of them in the head. "Four.." The last goblin watches as its comrades lay on the ground. "Nnngh!!" Simon cracks his neck, he points at the last goblin as the blood from the goblin he smashed into the ground drips off his fist. "You must be the leader..? Come on.." A black glow slowly crept up his body as a smile appeared on his face, a dark grin appeared behind Simon. The goblin stares at Simon in fear and sweat went down its face. The boy watches Simon in horror as Simon's black glow has a sinister smile. "(J-J-Just what is this.... Why does my body feel so heavy...?)" the boy asked himself. Sarya arrived looking at Simon in shock. "I'll make this quick!" Simon rushed at the last goblin, Sarya appeared above him. "CUT. IT. OUT!" Sarya drops kicks, Simon into the ground causing the dust to rise around them, the boy and the goblin stare at the action dumbfounded. Sarya stands up dusting herself off as Simon lays in a crater made with his body, he has a bump on his head and small stars surround his head. "Sigh... where you really going to go all out on a goblin, you idiot?" Simon shakes his head with the same bump on his head, he sits up rubbing his head while squinting his eyes in pain. "Ouch! I wasn't going that hard! I think..." Sarya sighs, she turns around seeing the boy who actually had bright blue ears and blue hair, his orange eyes fully visible. "A beast man..? No... I feel something else from you." The boy starts to shake nervously, he looks at the ground while shaking. "What are you on about now, Sarya?" Simon stands up rubbing his hurt head. Sarya walks over to the boy who is still sitting on the ground, he looks up at Sarya. "You're a Fenrir, correct?", "I um... I.. Uh..." He stumbles over his words, he quickly nods his head. Sarya looks at the boy more closely, she pokes his cheek then looks into his eyes, she looks at his ears watching them react. "Why are you in a human form? Aren't you Fenrirs stronger than small goblins like these ones? Why are you even out here?" The boy stammered to stand up straight and replied, "Well... I wanted to... um, train with a sword. I saw humans on this road a few days ago practicing.. So I asked them to see if I can... be a part of their team. They ran away when I showed myself, one of them even dropped their sword and carts carrying things fell off." Sarya places her hand on her chin, she turns her head to look at Simon who was eyeing down the last goblin. "Sigh.. So the other adventurers saw a, Fenrir. What's your name?", "M-My name?" Sarya nods, waiting for him to response. "M-My name is, Zuzu.." Simon walks in from the side leaning on Zuzu's shoulder, making his whole body jump. "So you're a girl?" Sarya walks up to Simon flicking him on the forehead sending him back, she looks back at Zuzu. "Nice to meet you, I'm Sarya. That idiot back there is Simon." She smiles at Zuzu, she holds out her hand. "Nice to meet you Ms. Sarya."
Simon pulls himself out the ground again, he stands up holding his head as he sees stars, a huge bump is on his forehead. He shakes his head as the goblin charges at Sarya, he shakes his head in disappointment. Sarya's smile fades as she whips around slashing upward, the goblin's club splits in two, the goblins vision splits downward as its lifeless corpse falls in two, on the ground. Zuzu gulps looking at how she killed the goblin, "So... uhh... are you good at using a sword..?" Sarya cleans off her blade by flicking her sword to the side, she places her sword back in its sheath. "Yes, so is that fool." She points at Simon walking over to them rubbing the back of his neck. "I saw him use something smaller than a sword. Is that a sword as well?", "What he used is a dagger, it's similar to a sword but not." Zuzu nods while listening to Sarya. "Hey Zuzu, why are there dead animals in the forest? There are some trees split in two as well." Zuzu tilts his head to the side in confusion his ears react as well, "Dead animals? What are you talking about?" Simon points to the left where the trees and animals are dead, Zuzu stares at the animals and the forest in horror. Zuzu stumbles over to a pink rabbit with a white horn breathing weakly. Zuzu falls to his knees with tears in his eyes, the pink rabbit looks at Zuzu bloody and beaten. "Amy..?", "Zuzu... we finally found you... we all saw you run away after your fight with your father..." The rabbit uses a spell changing into a human form. "We... were attacked by three random humans... we didn't know why but they had a scary look and... they killed the others... I'm scared... Zuzu.." The tears fell down her face while Zuzu stared at her. Sarya turns to look at Simon, the look from before is on his face, his eyes changed to blue while his pupils fade away. "Zuzu." Sarya called out to the boy, he turned around and the light that was on his face was gone. "Step aside." Sarya walks over to Amy, she holds her hand out towards her as a green hue covers Amy's body, a bright hue shines from them. Zuzu blocks his eyes while Simon doesn't flinch, the blinding light slowly fades.
Sarya rotates her wrist, while Zuzu rushes over to Amy, her wounds are healed. "She's unconscious. But she should be fine." She watches as Zuzu cries over Amy with happiness. Sarya turned around looking at Simon who stared at Zuzu and Amy. "I know how you feel, I'm mad as well but you can't keep acting like this. You're losing yourself to 'that'." She sighs as color returns to Simon's eyes, his expression still the same. He clutched his hands into a fist, "Sorry... I'm just understanding what Master meant by saying every human is different. The words really sat with me." Night falls as Sarya, Simon, Zuzu, and the still unconscious Amy are by the fire they made. Zuzu watches the fire flicker, Sarya looks up at the moon, and Simon lays on the ground relaxed with his eyes closed. "Zuzu, aren't you supposed to be a guardian for this forest? How did you hear or see any of that?" Sarya asked him. Zuzu quickly looks at her while nervously looking away, "It's... a long story... but I ran away from home.." Simon opens one of his eyes looking at Sarya. "Reminds me of you, Sarya." Sarya throws a stick at him, hitting him on the head. Amy slowly stands up, her pink hair and horn on her forehead. She rubs her eyes, Zuzu quickly moves to her. Sarya watches the two talk, a grin appears on her face and looks away to the side facing Simon who is sitting next to her. "Enjoying the moment, Sarya?", "Tsk, you always know how to annoy me." Simon stares at the fire flickering, he pokes it with a stick as Sarya watches him. "Simon.", "Yeah?" Sarya leans forward staring at the fire as well as they sit on the log. "Can you really use any weapon with ease?" Simon raises his eyebrow, "Why are you worried about that now?", "I can't ask a question?" Simon laughs cheerfully, Sarya stares at him in annoyance. Simon wipes a tear from his face from laughing so hard, "I'm just shocked you even asked." Simon laughs lightly, Sarya barrows her eyebrows. "You just can't stop messing with me can't you? Just answer the question!" Simon covers his head with his hands with a smile. "Okay, okay! I don't really know why, I just grab whatever is close and use it." Sarya stood up looking down at Simon. "Let's see about that. Zuzu." Zuzu and Amy look at Sarya who has a small grin on her face. "I'll need a spear, did one of those adventurers drop a spear while running?" Zuzu shrugs. "Sarya, we really don't have to do this.." Zuzu throws a spear at Simon, he quickly catches it with a burnt out expression.
The moonlight shines down on an open field in the forest, Simon stands on one side while Sarya with her sword stands on the other side. Amy and Zuzu watch from a distance. "Sarya, we really don't have to do this..", "Yes, yes we do. You never used a spear, it's better to test my theory." Simon sighs while rubbing his temple. "Zuzu, how did you even find this..? Fine, I'll play along." Simon stabs the spear into the ground and cracks his knuckles, Sarya grins while getting into a fighting stance, her green aura covers her entire body, the wind blows outward Zuzu and Amy covers they're face. "You're really going all out on me?", "Let's end our tie streak!" Sarya dashes towards Simon at unbelievable speeds, Simon rotating his shoulder and opening his eyes. Simon blocks Sarya's kick with his arm while locking eyes with her. He pushes her leg back, he brings his leg up kicking Sarya back, she slides back as smoke emits off her sword. "You actually blocked my kick?" She appears next to him swinging her sword upward, Simon ducks back dodging her attack, he uses his leg kicking her back with his leg. She attacks him with roots coming out the ground, Simon quickly flips back grabbing the spear and spun it around cutting all the roots with ease. Simon spins the spear around getting into a fighting stance, Sarya does the same with a smile. "LET'S GOO!" They charged at each other clashing.
