SoulCalibur D: Academy Years

During the beginning of the Mantis War, the city of Parousia, the capital of Grandall, there was an academy that taught the art of battle. The academy was created by the Emperor of Grandall, Strife Astlar Grandall. The teacher of this academy is the legendary war hero of Grandall, Girardot Argezas. Many of his students have passed his difficult training, lessons, and sessions but when it came to the real battle. All have failed with death. Girardot saw what he has done to his students and decided to change his ways of teaching his students.

The academy received new students and Girardot was now ready for his new ways for the students. All of the students fell in one straught line.

"All right then." said Girardot, "Welcome to the Grandall Cadet Academy. I will be your teacher, Girardot Argezas."

The students were surprised and astonished by Girardot's news of him being their teacher.

"I will now give roll call. Vincent."

"Here!"

"Rei."

"Here."

As Girardot was giving roll call, one guy with blond hair was excited.

"Aw man, this is great!" he said, "We're going to have the great Girardot as our teacher."

"Well, make sure you make a good impression on him." said the young lady next to him.

"Don't worry. I will."

"Will what?" asked Girardot.

"Gah!"

"Hmm...Aeneas." said Girardot, looking at the list.

"Uh, here!"

"Always stay on guard. Never let there be any distractions."

"Uh, right!"

"And for the early lesson, you are staying after class."

"AHH?!"

"Ha ha." said the young lady.

"You too."

"What? What did I do?"

"For responding in that kind of manner. You must treat your comrades with respect...Riese."

"No fair."

Girardot made it tothe end of the line and looked at the last person on the list.

"Hmm..Abelia."

"Present."

"You're Abelia Schillfelt, the daughter of the great warrior Schillfelt."

"Yes, that's me."

"It's an honor to have someone like you here. Your father was a great man."

"Thank you, sir."

"Now that we have all the students, let's..." Girardot stopped looking at the list again.

"Is there something wrong?"

"It seems one of our students is late."

"Who could that be?" asked Riese.

The door knocked and opened. A young man with short spiky hair and wearing a blue outfit came in the room.

"Are you one of our students?" asked Girardot.

"Yes." the young one replied, "My name is Jan."

"Well then Jan, as punishment for tardiness, you will stay after class."

"Okay, sir."

Jan then stood at the end of the line next to Abelia.

"Hi, I'm Jan." he said to Abelia.

"I know." Abelia replied, "You just told your name."

"You don't have to be all cold about it."

"All right now. I will be assigning your groups." said Girardot, "Jan, you're with Aeneas and Riese."

Jan then walked to Aeneas and Riese.

"Hey, I'm Jan." he said.

"Hey, I'm Riese." she replied, "The knucklehead next to me is Aeneas."

"I'm not a knucklehead!"

"Quiet down you three!" Girardot said, "Or else you will have more trouble this year."

"Sorry sir."

Jan, Aeneas and Riese went to their assigned seats as a group and awaited for their first lesson.
