Chapter 1-The field trip
"A field trip?" Reya shouted.
"Yea. Tomorrow. Chief Stan told us to pack," Daii replied.
Reya's eyes widened, "But why!? I thought we were his worst students! Why would he take us to a field trip?"
"It's an 'educational' field trip to the museum of the history of warriors, mages, bowmen, and thieves," Daii replied.
Reya sighed and packed some of her belongings into her suitcase instead
of bringing her backpack. When she was about to pick her weapon, Daii interrupted," Chief Stan said not to bring your weapons..."
"Why?" Reya asked, "I always bring my sword with me; proper warriors do that."
"Maybe it's 'cause we're going to a museum!" Daii replied, smiling.
Reya stuck out her tongue. She took a comb from her dresser top and combed her thick and frizzy black hair and tied it into a bun.
"Mitti and Izumi are waiting!" Daii said, "We better hurry."
"Are you sure we don't need our weapons?" Reya asked.
"Oh, I'm sure, I heard Stan say it with my own two ears and I left
my wand at home, so there's no worry," Daii replied.
Daii straightened her bright jeans. She often wore jeans to run better, unlike what most mages would do. She also admired her short, dirty blond hair, which most mages her age would despise in their appearance. The
Only thing that was mage-like of her was she loved reading and collecting
information. In fact, her family owned more than 30,000 books in their library.
"Come on, let's hurry!" Daii said.
After Reya and Daii came downstairs, her mom stared at her.
"Your hair is a mess. Are you sure you want it that way?"
"I'm okay with it, besides it isn't normal for warriors to look all nice and formal," Reya replied.
Her mom smiled at her.
"Ok then, whatever goes your way." She added," Have great day!"
She kissed Reya on the cheek, then hugged her and waved at her. Reya and
Daii waved back.
When Reya opened the door, an excited and hyper Izumi squealed.
"Just in time! We better hurry!" Izumi shouted.
She was an ongoing, loud thief. She would never stop talking and loved being sneaky. In the back of her was Mitti, a quiet archer with long, shiny Black hair.
"Hi," Mitti said quietly.
"Hey Mitchan!" Daii said, hugging her.
"Hello!" Reya said.
Reya always treated Mitti like a younger sister, full of support and protection. The two had a special sisterly bond that nobody could understand. And since Mitti wasn't the strongest archer, she would always try her best to get stronger. She was also getting teased by the popular kids in her class, who would be forcing her to do bad things. But then since Reya was stronger, she always beat them, which made Mitti think she should repay Reya for helping. Unfortunately, she never got to.
All the four friends had a very special bond each caring for each other, visiting each other's houses, even sharing clothes.
"Stan said to meet at the bus, which is near Athena's!" Izumi said.
"Ok," Reya replied.
The four passed small mushroom houses, which were built by the townspeople themselves. Finally, they arrived to a large shiny black convertible. It looked similar to a limo except it was much bigger.
"Awesome!!" Daii shouted.
Right next to the car the four could see Chief Stan.
"ALRIGHT! Students get into a single line!" Chief Stan shouted to catch everybody's attention.
Reya could see that all her classmates were here, even Yoshiro. Yoshiro hardly ever talked, except that when Stan was calling him. He was Stan's best of the worst students and also the strongest thief and person in the class. Most people stayed away from him because of what he was capable of doing and his appearance. He mainly wore ripped clothing, like he was from the streets.
Surprisingly, everybody got into an arranged line without ignoring Stan.
"Good, good," Stan said quietly.
Stan's smile turned into a glaring smile that caught Reya a puzzled look.
"Now go into the door, and don't run, or push. Sit into your seats and move about if you like," Stan said.
Reya also wondered why Stan was being so nice all of a sudden. She then turned to Mitti.
"Hey Mitti, do you want to sit with me?" Reya asked.
"Sure," Mitti replied smiling.
Mitti got into the first seat sitting next to the window. Daii and Izumi sat in the back of them. Soon enough, when everybody got in the bus, the engine roared and the bus was moving. Stan was waving to everybody from outside.
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! This is so cool!" Izumi shouted.
"Not...and really, when you think about it, I think something's up with Stan. I never really liked him," Reya replied.
"He's always cranky and mean," Mitti agreed.
Daii rose up from the back seat.
"Jeez! You both are so..." Daii said, "...paranoid about every thing."
"Whatever, Daii," Reya stuck her tongue out.
Daii then went back to reading her wizard mastery book.
After 20 minutes of the ride, Izumi got bored and decided to poke Mitti on the head.
"Stop," Mitti laughed and then yawned.
"Can't a bored girl do what she wants to do?" Izumi said, and she frowned.
She sat back down on her seat.
"Hey, Reya, I didn't see you today."
It was Kazuki, who was one of Reya's friends. Reya knew that he obviously liked her and admired her determined personality. Reya kept saying it wasn't a big deal. He was a mage who looked about the same age as Reya, but she was taller.
"Oh! Hey, Kazu," Reya replied.
Mitti was already asleep on Reya's shoulder while Daii and Izumi were
talking to each other.
"How's training going for you?" Kazuki asked.
"It's good, Mitti is also getting better at her archery skills," Reya replied. "That's good for you guys, just keep on giving advice to Mitt and she'll become a great ranger someday like you'll be..."
"A dragon knight," Reya interrupted.
"That was pretty cool what you did a while ago to Akira when they were making fun of Mitt," Kazuki said.
"Thanks..." Reya said, "They should fuck off."
Reya sighed.
"How long is this going to take...?" Reya asked, "Don't you think something's up with this 'field trip'?"
"No, some field trips are long, some are short," Kazuki replied.
"Maybe, but, never mind.." Reya said.
"Alright, I better go back to my seat," Kazuki said, "Bye."
"Bye," Reya said.
Kazuki opened his arms and hugged Reya. He went back and sat down in the back. Reya looked in the back of her to check on Daii and Izumi.
"Daii, Izumi?"
They were both sleeping.
Daii's book was on her lap; when it was about to fall Reya took it and put it inside her suitcase.
Reya's eyes started to get all dreary, so she decided she would just rest for a few minutes. Instead she fell asleep.
Three girls and two guys were around Mitti, surrounding her. Those five people were the popular people of the class. Their names were Akira, Sakura, Yuko, Kisa, and Kuni. Akira being the lead of the four others was Mitti's main enemy.
"Hey Mitti, did you steal the teachers' donation money yet?" Akira asked.
Akira was a tall, black haired girl who wielded daggers and throwing stars.
"Um, n-no, I'm sorry I-I'll g..." Mitti's voice trailed off.
She started to cry.
Akira's frown turned into a nasty smirk, I gave you three chances to get the damn money and you came here with nothing?"
"I-I'm sorry.." Mitti sobbed. "Please d-don't"
Akira smiled and started laughing.
She then gave Mitti a slap on the cheek. Then she kicked Mitti in the stomach, causing her to lose balance and fall on her backside. Akira then kicked her over and over again. Her kicks got harder and harder, like a hammer pinning a nail to the ground. The rest of Akira's gang started to laugh each time Akira gave Mitti a tough kick. After Akira stomped on her, Mitti could taste her own blood.
"Please stop!" Mitti shouted, "I-I'm s-sorry!"
Akira wouldn't stop kicking, she just had to watch Mitti suffer.
"PLEASE!! STOP!"
Reya woke up and saw that everyone was sleeping. It was dark outside, making it feel like five hours had passed. When Reya stood up, she fell off her seat.
"Ow..."
She thought about the dream she had which made her angry. Those fucking girls didn't have any right to tease Mitti like that.
Soon, Reya calmed down. Right before she got back up to her seat, she heard footsteps. They came closer and closer.
She saw a lady holding a short pole.
Reya didn't move she stared at her with a puzzled look on her face.
The lady then bashed her head with the pole.
