Chapter 3: Someone who hates me
It was late. Really late. Everything was dark outside, but Freya could not sleep. She knew that this was common, that there was no reason for being so embarrassed. But she could not help it: she was sleeping in a room with 6 men!!! "Your squadron is like your family: you share everything with them" had said Sir Irvine. But she never imagined that that would apply for sharing a room.
"(Guess I will have to get used to it.)" She thought before finally falling asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, everyone was having breakfast in the "B-Hall", as everyone called the big room were they took their meals.
"So, are you ready to start?" Asked Freya as she took an apple from one of the bowls.
However, she did not get any reply from her teammates: Ryo and Nall were sleeping on the table; Syrian and Chance were trying to keep their eyes open; Larc was glaring at the four of them, and Fratley wasn't there. She sighed happily, and went outside. They still had 20 minutes left before the training started, and if she stayed inside, she would probably fell asleep too. Besides, she was wondering where Fratley was. After a little walk, she managed to find him, lying against a tree.
"So here you are!!! Why weren't you in the B-hall, with the others???"
"I took my breakfast earlier, and left before you arrived. Didn't the other tell you, or were they still sleeping???" He said all this in a calm voice, like he always did. Freya just stared at him. He was different from anyone she had known before. Everyone respected him because of his skill and everything, but she was not sure if it was respect what she felt towards him. She felt, although she didn't know why, that there was something more about Fratley, something he didn't show, and nobody noticed. She had only known him for a day, and already had this impression of him.
"Anyway.classes are started in a minute, so we should get going, kay?"
"Ok"
The training grounds were divided into 5 different sections, and the biggest one was for the First Squadron. When the 7 trainees arrived there, their instructor was already there, waiting for them.
Sir Kain was known as the best instructor on Burmecia. He was kind, and always tried to understand his trainees, but everyone knew of his "hell- training". Each instructor set the length of each day's training, and Sir Kain's students were always the first ones to start, and the last ones to go back to their rooms. Injuries were common, and the nurse usually got to know all the first squadron better than anyone else.
That day Sir Kain just tested their abilities, they had to jump, break wooden sticks with their spears and more. It sounded simple, but by the end of the day, they were exhausted. Syrian, Nall, Chance and Ryo almost couldn't stand up, and Fratley and Larc didn't say anything. However, Freya was the only one who seemed to have some energy left. They slowly walked to the B-Hall, trying not to collapse.
"Gosh, another day like this and I'm going to die!!!" Said Nall
"I knew he was strict, but this is just.crazy!!!"
"Really, Syrian? I don't think it was.that bad."
"Ok, can someone test Freya's temperature??? I think we have some fever here."
"Ok, ok, don't be like that. We don't sarcasm now, Nall." Freya giggled happily.
"What we don't need is you, rat" a strange voice said. Everyone stopped, trying to find the origin of the voice.
"Who are you, and how you dare to speak like that???!!!" demanded Larc.
A figure stepped out of the darkness. He was a Trainee, and have the crest of a Squadron Leader. He had black hair, and strange, motionless red eyes. Freya shivered at the sight of those eyes.
"Haha, are you scared, little rat???" he grinned" You should be. But not yet. I think I will see you soon, Crescent" and with that words he disappeared.
"Who.???" Started Chance.
"Ferio Dailhearth. He is the captain of the second squadron"
"Hey, don't say it like it was nothing!!! He.insulted Freya, Fratley!!!"
"Na, don't worry. I have been called much worse."
"That's not the point, and you know it. I assume that you don't know him, but he does have something against you. We should keep both eyes open. And that goes to all of you. Now, let's go" Fratley started walking, and the others followed him.
"(I can't believe this!!! The year has just started.and someone already hates me!!! This is supposed to happen in novels and tales.not in real life!!!)" Freya sighed"(I'm going to find out what's going on.no matter what, I'm going to find it out)"
