Allen the Exorcist

Chapter 10-Maire's P.O.V of Training

When the villagers started going back, Allen grabbed my hand and took me to the train station where a person in light brown robes was waiting. Allen looked surprised and relived to see the person there and we waited for the train and during that time Allen told me what was going to happen now. I didn't have any questions for him until he got to a shocking statement.

"You are going to come back with us and become an Exorcist." He said

I looked at him with wide eyes and my jaw dropped to the ground and I started waving my hands in front of myself.

"Wait what? I am not going to be an Exorcist! I don't have Innocence and even if I did, I wouldn't know how to use it!" I said while panicking

Allen sighed and looked at me with a sorry look.

"You do have innocence. It was that piece that was in front of you at the well and I will teach you how to use it." He said and I gave up

I sighed and looked down in defeat. I then nodded and when the train came we got on and went to the compartment we were using. We didn't say anything on the way to wherever we were going. When we got there we got out and started walking to wherever we were going. We got to a giant cliff and Allen started climbing it. I stared at him like he was really insane.

"What are you doing?" I asked him with a tone that said 'Are you insane?'

"I'm going to HQ." He said and continued climbing

"Do we have to climb the cliff?" I asked him hopefully

"Yes." He said and I sighed and started climbing with him

As we climbed the cliff, I thought I was doing pretty well. I only sipped a few times but I kept the strongest grip I could on the cliff. That is, until we got about what I thought was a fourth of the way there but I didn't dare look down

"Allen~ are we there yet? I can't take much more of this!" I whined but Allen didn't seem to care at all

"Keep going." He said

"You're so mean!" I added and he sighed

He then started climbing down until he got to my level and crouched down. He then said something very surprising.

"What are you doing Allen?" I asked him

"Get on." He said and I panicked

I blushed dark red and sputtered "What!?" I yelled

"Get on." He repeated

"Why?" I asked still panicking

"Do you want to get there anytime soon?" He asked with what sounded like an annoyed tone

"Yes!" I said and quickly climbed onto his back

"Hold on tight." He said

He started climbing a little faster than the speed he was going when I wasn't on his back. I felt a little guilty when he started climbing because I didn't realize that I was going that slow.

I saw that Allen had a small pink tint on his cheeks and I wondered why. I then realized why because I was holding onto Allen really tight and really close. I blushed but kept holding on because I really didn't want to fall off of a cliff. When we got to the top Allen waited for me to get off and then we walked up to a door.

"Gatekeeper! I'm back!" He said

"Why are you talking to a door Allen?" I whispered to him

He chuckled when the door yelled back at him and I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"That's why." He said

"Shut up Allen!" I said and he apparently didn't catch the glare I sent his way

The doors opened and a girl a little older than Allen and I came rushing out and glomped Allen so hard that he fell to the floor.

"Allen welcome back!" The girl said

"I'm back." Allen said

I couldn't help but look shocked but I also had a little bit of jealously in my eyes and apparently Allen saw that when he looked at me because he sighed and the girl got off of him and he stood up. We walked into HQ and I was introduced by Allen to three people.

I met the girl who glomped Allen and her name was Lenalee. She was nice and I thought that we could get along pretty well. I then met a red-headed boy named Lavi who was the same age as Lenalee. He yelled 'STRIKE!' when we met and I wonder why.

I was also introduced to the chief whose name was Komui. Allen told him that I was an accommodator and the people who Allen called the 'Science Department' took the innocence and turned it into a weapon. When it came back to me it was a bracelet and I thought it was weird because I saw that Lavi had a mini hammer in a holder and I thought that that was his innocence but now I am having doubts.

Then when we got the bracelet, I got a big surprise.

"Congratulations Allen! You have your first apprentice." Said Komui happily

We both stood there in shock until I spoke up.

"I thought that only a General of the Order could have an apprentice." I said

"You didn't tell her Allen?" Asked Komui

He shook his head no and Komui sighed.

"Allen is already a General Marie. The youngest one at that." He explained

I stood there in shock for a while, then I turned to Allen with an annoyed expression visible on my face. He smiled apologetically at her and I kicked him in the shin.

"Ow!" He whined

"That is for not telling me that you were a General." I said and spoke triumphantly

He sighed and looked back at Komui.

"You will need to start training her as soon as possible but you will be going off on your own with her to search for accommodators with some innocence I will give you." He said while handing Allen two fragments of innocence

"You can only have three apprentices at a time but I doubt that you will find others before you are done training Marie." He continued

He sighed and nodded and we left Komui to his paperwork that I doubt he will ever do. I packed some food and clothing for myself and we headed out to train and find accommodators.

Time-skip In a forest somewhere

"Allen, can we stop yet?" I groaned and slowed my running

"We have only been running for five minutes." He said "This is nothing to my other training. Do you want to do that instead?" He offered and my eyes widened

"NO!" I yelled how can it be worse than this?

"Good. Now keep running or no lunch." He threatened and I kept running

"Allen, can we stop now?" I asked again

"No. Keep going for five more minutes then we can stop for a minute." He said

I kept quiet and we stopped after five minutes. Allen didn't even break a sweat but I was sweating and gasping for air. I sighed. After a drink and a rest we started running again. We worked on running for about another three weeks and I could run at almost my full speed for twenty minutes.

"Yay! So now I am an exorcist right?" I asked him and he laughed at me

"Not even close!" He said

I wined for about two minutes before he told me to do some push-ups.

"I want you to do twenty push-ups to start." He said

I looked at him, sighed, and started doing to push-ups. I did it and he made me do twenty more, only he sat on me. When he did I scowled at him.

"Do you really have to sit on me Allen?" I asked irritated

"No, but it's funny." He replied while chuckling

I sighed and did the push-ups. When I was done, he told me to carry a rock that was about half of my size up a small mountain and back as fast as my feet would carry me.

"You have got to be joking!" I yelled and looked at him like he was insane

Again.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" He asked me with a look that said he was completely serious

I pouted but did what he asked me to do. We continued doing this until I could carry it effortlessly. I then had to carry a rock that was double the size of the last one. I swear that Allen was trying to kill me! After I could carry that, he told me that we were going to start my innocence training.

"First we need to teach you how to activate your innocence at will." He started "Think of your reason of becoming an exorcist. What did you want to do? Did you want to protect somebody? Do you want fame? Fortune? Put those feelings into your mind and say 'Innocence Activate!'" He finished

I stood there thinking about how I wanted to protect Allen and everyone else that I met at the Order. I also wanted to end the war so that nobody else will have their life taken away from them because of the war. I felt something inside of me stir and I felt a surge of power course through my veins and my eyes snapped open and I yelled.

"Innocence Activate!"

My bracelet glowed and turned into a giant pure black scythe. I held it effortlessly but after a few minutes it deactivated and I fell to the ground breathing heavily. He then smiled at me for some reason.
