Day one
After getting acquainted with the rest of the staff, Damien met with Romeo and finished his day. The next day, he selected a longsword from the terminal as a weapon for his god arc. He had everything he needed and met with Julius and another girl who was also a new addition to the team.
"Damien, I want you to meet Nana Kazuki", said Julius gesturing to the girl who smiled and gave him a playful salute. Nana was a teenage girl with fair skin and slightly blue black hair. Her hair has three yellow cross barretes to hold it together and two barretes were used to create a pair of 'cat ears' which Damien noticed first.
The girl wears a very short type top. She also had a short, pink hoodie but the hood itself was coloured black. She also wore on a pair of pink gloves with the left side having a cuff and black arm wraps. Her choice of pants were a black with a white belt that had a golden buckle and finally she wore on black and pink riding boots with the left leg that sported a belt strap.
"Um…", said James unknowingly pointing to her ears.
"Ah these", she said tapping her 'cat ears' "Wanna touch 'em?"
James tapped the tops of her hair, to verify whether or not it was real. He was so focused on this act, that it was only through Julius' throat clearing did he snap back to himself.
"This will be your first trip in the field", he said looking at them "Remember that how good or bad you did in the training room is secondary, what matters is how you perform here each and every day".
"Julius", shouted Damien as he and Nana drew their weapons to face the ogretail that pounced up and was about to attack their leader.
Julius glared at the aragami, swinging his blade with the swiftness of a veteran like himself. When he was done, a line formed across the aragami's body as it's body separated in two and it fell to the ground.
"Remember that we are the sword of humanity", he said clenching his fist and speaking in a determined voice "Cast your fears and doubts aside, show the enemy that it is humans that stand at the top and not the aragami".
The two of them shouted in agreement then dropped down into the mission area. Today, they were hunting dreadpikes (not sure if that's the right name). Green bugs with a single long horn in front. The moved about with two large legs at the back, other than that there was nothing else of note with them.
Nana and Damien nodded to each other and both took off in different directions, slaying one after the other with little to no trouble at all. When they were finished they both triumphantly made their way back to their leader.
"You ignored the rules of engagement, you charged in without a single plan and you didn't even take a moment to learn about your surroundings", shouted Julius as he banged his hands on the table to Nana and Damien who sat on the opposite side in a prostrate position.
"We're sorry", they said with their heads lowered.
"I understand you're eager to prove yourselves and you want to do your part", he continued while trying to calm himself down "But from now on I expect you to adhere to a certain set of rules and guidelines before going on any mission".
"Yes sir", they said together once more and Julius walked away.
"How bad do you think we did?" asked Nana quietly to Damien "He looked pretty red".
"I don't want to know", said Damien sitting on one of the chairs "But he is right though, we shouldn't have acted the way we did".
"Here", she said handing the boy an oden sandwich which confused the boy a good deal "Whenever I get confused, worried or wonder about what to do, I eat an oden sandwich".
"Huh?" asked Damien tilting his head to the side, noticing the giant sack behind her.
"You should try some as well", she said cherrily taking a bite of her sandwich and watched James who stared at the food then finally took a small bite.
"Wow this is good", he said in amazement".
"They're still pretty green if you ask me", said Julius to his superior "I don't think they're ready".
"Now, now Julius", said Rachel trying to calm him down "Remember how you were like on your first day as well. So vibrant and energetic, how proud I was to see you like that and how proud I am to see how much of a man you've become".
"They're simply wanting to do their part, don't mind them for looking a little overzealous. I believe though with the passage of time, they will grow to be outstanding god eaters."
"That boy, Damien", she added "Did you find out about him like I asked?"
"Other than being a bit smarter than others, I don't seem to notice anything else of note with him" replied Julius "He joined Fenrir as a child, his superiors report that he performed well in the written tests and did well during their field tests".
"Still", said the doctor with a knowing smile "I would like it if you forward me all the information you have. Perhaps a pair of fresh eyes might be able to glean some interesting bits of information".
With a bow, Julius left the room allowing Rachel to her thoughts.
"I'm totally sorry for what happened today", shouted Damien and bowing at a perfect 90 degree angle. Of course he said the words so quickly that it came out like a strange slur, causing Julius to give him a confused look.
Putting two and two together, he understood what was going on and slowly lifted Damien up.
"I shouldn't have blown a gasket like that either", he said rubbing the back of his head "It's just that…"
"Yes sir?"
"It's just that out there you could die at the drop of a hat", he replied "And don't call me sir".
Damien simply nodded "I'm not asking you to think a hundred steps before taking one, all I'm asking is that you show a little caution and restraint from here on out. IF you can promise me you'll do that then I won't come down so hard on you again".
"Yes… Julius", he said with a nod
After that was done, Damien found himself spending the rest of the day in the training room. After he was done, he took a deep breath then wiped the sweat off his body then headed to his room to clean up. Once he was done, he headed to the garden at the top and found that he was not alone.
Sitting underneath a tree in the middle of all the multi-coloured flowers was a girl with pale-white skin and silver coloured eyes. Her choice of clothing was rather unique in that she wore a gothic Lolita dress with a corset, black boots and a pair of hair pins on her hair in twintails.
"Ah I'm sorry", she said noticing his presence "Am I taking your spot?"
"Huh no, no", said Damien shaking his head "I just came here to relax a little."
"Yes this is a good place to clear your mind", she said as he came towards her and sat on the flower bed.
Damien could not help but steal glances at the girl who quietly read from a book yet maintained an air of beauty and elegance. Looking like she had read enough, the girl closed her book then got up from her seat.
"It was nice meeting you", she said with a bow then left quietly after that.
Damien quietly watched her head to the elevator, go inside and head down. Now alone, Damien took a moment to playback the meeting in his mind all over again, stopping at that point when he first saw her.
"Wow she's beautiful", he said to himself
It was a whole two minutes afterwards did he realize that he was alone. Once he realized that, he immediately headed back down.
