Chapter three: Training and Elimination
A/n: To those of you who are reading my new fic, The Second war, NO Van will NOT fall in love with Rebecca, and I have not yet decided to bring Hitomi to Gaea. Now, as for this story, Actually, I already have it all planned to chapter sixteen, now getting off my lazy butt and writing everything is a different matter… Maybe if I felt more compelled to… cough cough review coughcough See, If I don't have a lot of reviews, I don't think people are reading my stories… which is really sad if I discontinue them… And anyway, I promised to have this chapter out by Christmas to someone, so I'm going to keep my word and here it is!
Jadera fell back onto her bed and yawned. Dragonslayer applications had passed, and thankfully, Miguel had gotten in. Training had been harder than she thought, and it was tiring. She'd made some new friends, and an enemy. She smiled, thinking of Gatti and Chesta. They both were quite cute, and looked similar, except that Gatti was taller and had gray hair while Chesta was quite short and had blond hair. There were twenty-five dragonslayers in all, and so far there was only one…
Jadera frowned. Thinking of Guimel just brought the scene of their first meeting to her mind. He had been very snobbish (Sorry Guimel Fans!), and rude, putting down Jaden and sneering at Miguel. He acted as though he was of a higher status than the others, and only seemed to listen to Dilandau.
Jadera sighed. It was such a pity, to encounter such rivalry and competition here. Everyone was just trying to prove to the generals and anyone else that mattered that they were the best soldiers and that was all that mattered to them. A knock broke her out of her thoughts.
"Jaden!" called Miguel from the other side of the door.
"Yeah?" Jadera replied.
"Didn't you hear? We were all called to the training room! I hear that we're gonna do something really cool!" Miguel said excitedly from the other side of the door.
"Coming!" Jadera replied before grabbing her sword and walking out. Outside, she also saw Gatti and Chesta were waiting. They all smiled at each other before bolting off to the training room.
When they arrived, they saw all the other dragonslayers there, waiting. The foursome joined the other dragonslayers, and soon, everyone was talking and having fun. They all fell silent when Dilandau entered the room though.
"I've decided that there are too many dragonslayers than I have use for." He announced loudly.
"So, just to test which of you are competent enough to remain in the dragonslayers, I've decided to issue a test. You all are to be separated and scattered in the forest, and you must make your way to a certain meeting point. The first fifteen of you that make it there win. The rest of you will be assigned somewhere else. You are only allowed to bring a small allowance of food, a change of clothing, and your sword. Any questions?"
"No, Lord Dilandau." Twenty-five voices intoned.
"Dismissed."
Sorry for the shortness of the chapter peeps! But, it's Christmas, and got the chapter up at least!
Merry Christmas everyone!
