Tai sat up, looking around, noticing that the six of them were in a clan hideout, which? he did not know. His five friends were all slumped around on the floor, they each began to stir then awaken, one-by-one. "Where are we?" Leo asked "You're with clan Nutsy now" a blonde boy replied, he seemed to be the leader "You're welcome to join if you'd like, but first we need to test you" he said introductions are made all around "Okay, the following members are being sent on this mission: Lini..." "sorry, im gonna stay behind, kupo" "...Okay then, Shara..." "I'll have to stay as well" "...Umm, okay, Quin..." a Nu Mou Sage nods "...Rio..." another Sage nods "...Leo..." the Bangaa White Monk nods "...Rose..." the human thief nods "...Jenny..." the Viera White Mage nods "...and Rave..." the Viera Assassin nods, the six of them begin walking towards the door. "Hey, what about me?" Tai asks "Sorry, you cant, Lini and Shara have decided to stay behind to train you" Marche replies, walking back to his seat. Tai grumbles, turning around and following Shara and Lini to the training square.
All three got up onto a stone platform, Lini and Shara getting ready, Tai made sure his gun was fully loaded and looked back up to see the attack was already starting. Tai found himself dodging one of Lini's attacks, crouching, then thrust his gun up, blocking the second. "bad move, kupo" lini said as he jumped back, Tai was confused, up until the point where an arrow caught him straight in the ribs. "aagh!" tai cried out as he flew backwards, hitting the ground "where'd she go?" but as quickly as the words left him, he heard a voice saying "youll have to be quicker than that to pass" and suddenly he found another arrow burying itself in his back. Tai crouched down, wincing in pain, as he looked around for a clear shot, but the longer he looked, the more he seemed to notice a target appeared in his vision. He quickly found where Shara was and took a shot, but Shara heard it and quickly ran out of there, the bullet barely grazing her leg "good shot" she called after him "but youre accuracy is still off by a mile." "You left me an opening, kupo" Lini said from behind Tai.
