Ok just to remind you guys

" " = talking

' ' = thoughts

You know- just in case I confuse you. Enjoy~

Finally after running through a sea of students and wannabe students he finally arrived at the exam arena (though it was completely by accident). As he looked hurriedly around he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He warily looked toward the source and his fears were confirmed as there stood a pissed off Hiruma waiting for him gun in hand. 'Oh dear god.'

"Oi fucking chibi you sure took some sweet fucking time."

"Gomen! Hiruma-san!" He squeaked clutching his eyes shut as he heard the click of a gun expecting the worse. The blond demon twitched, as he looked at the trembling small teen 'He looks like a fucking hamster- not that I care or anything.'

To the surprise and gratefulness of the little pickpocket, Hiruma just turned around walking to where the exam was taking place "Tch. Your fucking lucky you were just on time shrimp." After a few steps the blond looked back at the thief "Well? Are you fucking waiting for your carriage fucking Cinderella or are you coming?"

"H-hai!" Sena needed no further prompting as he ran to walk by Hiruma's side shyly smiling at the blond demon's rare act of charity.

They joined the crowd of rich males waiting for the rules of the exam. Finally a short middle-aged man holding a jar of what seemed to be liquor stood on a small stage. At the sight many began murmuring excitedly. Sena who had lived mainly on the streets couldn't recognize the drunkard. Hiruma noticed the brunette's confusion sighed and bent down to whisper to him- 'that's Doburoku Sakaki he was one of the pair of knights known as the Twin Japanese Blades.'

The small teens eyes widened 'The Twin Japanese Blades?! The stories about them were well known even in the darkest corners of the slums- apparently they retired a while back due to injury and age... Who knew they would become Knight trainers?'

Suddenly a cold realization hit the brunette harder than the bag of bricks Hiruma threw at him a while back 'What would become of us if we were caught?- I'm sure the punishment for lying to all these people will be more severe than death! And-'

The blond as if sensing the boys fear took his hand and squeezed it almost encouragingly "We just won't get caught" he said simply. At that sentence Sena though a little shaken that Hiruma could read his mind calmed a little, grateful for the teen's .. Well let's call it assurance.

"Okay brats listen up" Everyone in the crowd stood to attention as the words left from the mouth of the famous ex knight. "Each of you will be judged individually for intellect, strength, aim, creativity and speed. If you pass you will be welcomed with open arms however-" the old man suddenly looked fierce and intimidating confirming himself of the title of one of the Twin Blades. Sena gulped as well as the general percentage of the group. "However - if you fail you will lose the chance to join forever. There are no repeaters and we don't care how rich or noble your fathers are so if you don't feel like you can pass then leave- we don't need people like you."

Stunned silence filled the room (as well as a faint kekeke but let's just bypass that). Eventually at least 50 or so people left sulkily. As Doburoku watched the last of the cowards go he moved onto the rest of the group smiling. "So I see you guys have the balls to stay here huh?" He chuckled and took a swig of his alcohol.

"I guess we'll start off with the intellect part of the exam. Follow me to the written part"

Sena paled 'w-written part?! No one told me about this! What am I going to do!?'

Even Hiruma was tense- 'Shit I didn't think there was a fucking written part in the exam; I mean I'll be fucking fine but I highly doubt Sena who's lived on the fucking streets even knows how to goddamn fucking write.'

As everyone sat in their seats with paper and pencil in hand Sena just stared hopelessly at the strange squiggly lines that probably were the questions for the examination.

Luckily however most of the basic words he understood as when he was much younger he befriended a noble who taught him a little on writing and reading.

...

Flashback

"Why the hell should I help you Sena." "Come on please~! At least teach me the basics!" The brunette pouted and used his best puppy dog eyes.

The teen sighed "I can't believe someone like me is doing this." Sena grinned knowing that this meant a yes. "If you can't believe something then I still can't believe we're friends."

"I wouldn't call it fucking friends." The older teen scoffed.

"Well you have stopped calling me trash."

"..." An awkward silence settled around the two which quickly broke when Sena giggled and even the dread headed aristocrat cracked a smirking smile.

"Now let's teach me some words."

End Flashback

...

But more on this later -first he had a test to pass.

Slowly, tentatively he picked up the pencil and began writing the answers to the questions he could understand however most used complicated long words, which the brunette had to guess from context or skip over. After a grueling 2 hours Sena came out of the room looking half dead. 'Yup. Getting shot back then would have been better the better option.'

Doburoku noticed the despair on the thief's face. Laughing he went up to the short kid and slapped him on the back. "Don't worry kid - as long as you do good in at least one exam you should be okay (kind of...)!" The ex knight was surprisingly strong despite his build causing Sena to almost fall luckily he caught himself at the last minute. The sharp eyes of the knight trainer caught that fast reflex noting the teen's strong well toned legs. 'Hmmm... Maybe he'll redeem himself from the written part after all.'

"Ok everyone we are moving back to the Arena. It's time for the test of strength!" Doburoku shouted out of the blue causing everyone to flinch at the sudden increase in sound.

'Strength?!' Sena paled even whiter than before blood draining from his face.

'Well Fuck.'

Well that's the end of this chapter! Sena really is not doing well for these exams god what sick twisted person would do this to- oh wait it's me oops ;P

Anyway I'm hoping you guys reading are enjoying this- please comment and stuff. And yes I made Agon a childhood friend if you didn't catch that and yes he will be appearing eventually and no he isn't a street kid like Sena he's an arrogant noble because well it suits him (gleam in eye)
