I wake up to the early morning bugle that tears through the quiet morning. I quickly hop out of my bunk and stretch. I look to see that Seirnity is still asleep despite the fact its 7:00 and the wake-up call… I could leave her, but if I leave her that wouldn't be very Knightly. I walk over and shake her. "Class doesn't start until later, Amber…" Class? I don't know why I even try. I grip her shoulders and shake her more violently. "Wake up damn it!" I say to her. "You look different today Amber." I drop her. "You're at Boot Camp. Not Collage." I tell her. "Huh? Arisana." Now is she awake? "Now that your awake maybe we can get to our training?" If we don't move we will be royally screwed. "Oh crap! How long have I slept in?" Now she's worried? "Not too long. Only a couple of minutes." I let her know so she doesn't have a heart attack. "Crap! I gotta get ready really quickly then!" She then strips down and changes. Then she dashes out. I decide against wasting the time to change and run outside to join her in the Lineup. "Alright. Looks like you're all here. I introduced myself briefly last night but I'm going to do it again. I am Capitan Armadias Olzo. I will be your Commanding Officer for the rest of the time you're in the service. We are the 9th Elite Unit. That means I will be pushing you to your limits every day… Cadet Seirnity." Oh damn it! "Yes Sir?" She responds a little scared like me. He then walks over to her. "What do you think you're doing?" Huh? She's standing still like me. "Listening to you Sir?" His expression grows severe. "That smile. Why are you smiling?" Huh? That's what he's on her about? "Cause I'm happy to be here sir!" Well I'm not surprised about that. She's happy about everything. "Really? Then drop and give me 50! Let's see how happy you are then!" She agrees and starts doing the push-ups. He then walks onto her back and continues. "In a short time you will receive your weapons and you'll be able to use the training hall. It's open all the time and you are free to train whenever you find you have the free time. Now know this! You will grow to hate me! Only then will my job be complete! You had better get with the program! Now follow me so you can get your weapons!" He then hops off of Seirnity's back. I help her up. "Think you could stop smiling to avoid incurring the wrath of our new CO?" I ask her. "Why would I need to stop smiling? Why would he get so mad over it?" I sigh and lead her inside. Once there the Quarter Master is there. She then hands each of us a sturdy Wooden Sword, a strong Wooden Shield, a rapid fire Paintball Gun, and very Powerful Firecrackers. "As you all know I told you that you will learn every style known. This is true. I will teach you how to take all of these Styles and put those who truly know the style and put them to shame. I can already be sure that you will end up in the Hall of Heroes. I can see myself saluting you as my superior." He says to all of us. "But Sir if we end up in the Hall of Heroes won't you still be our superior?" Some moron asks. Even the Quarter Master tries to stop him but too late. Olzo walks over to him. "Cadet… DROP AND GIVE ME 100! AT ONCE!" The idiot quickly does as he steps on him as well. "Know that this conditioning isn't meant for everyone! Some of you will die during this training if not all of you! I will make sure of it! You will be the finest Knights the Order will have the privilege of having in their employ. Now get to training! I want you to be masters of these weapons as soon as possible!" We quickly salute and disburse. "Arisana lets train together!" Sure… "No problem!" I say trying to mimic her joy. We approach each-other. She then runs at me and does a vertical slash. I quickly counter and shoot her with the Paintball Gun. She then slashes me with the sword. I quickly smack her with the shield stunning her. I then use a Firecracker blinding her and I then slash her sending her to the ground. Just as I am about to put the blade to her chest another well used sword stops me. "You alive Cadet Seirnity?" Capitain Olzo asks after stopping me. "Heh. I see stars…" He sighs. "Well at least you aren't dead. You two are dismissed. Take her to Dr. Bachmel and you two will be free to do Personal Training." With that he then starts walking around yelling at random cadets. I walk over and help Serene up. "Wow Arisana. You're strong." I'm not Strong. Just had a better strategy. "Well I'm not that strong. Let's get you to Dr. Bachmel" At least that's the plan. "Oh Don't worry about it. I'm fine." Right. I just beat you and you're fine. "Well the Captain wanted you checked out. Best to follow orders." I remind her. "So where is the nurse's office then? Since I don't have a choice." I think for a second. "It's in the Castle on the first floor." I tell her. "Where on the first floor?" I think it would be fairly close to the entrance. "Probably the first or second door from the entrance." That should be about right. "Mind coming along with me?" I'm supposed to. "Well I guess I don't mind." I need to make sure she doesn't run away or something.
We walk to the Infirmary. Turns out it's the tenth door. We walk in and see the woman in a lab coat with fiery red hair. "Um Dr. Bachmel ?" I call out to the woman. "Hmm? Yeah what is it?" She asks. "We're here under orders from Captain Olzo." She sighs and checks something on her clipboard. She walks over and stares at the both of us. "Your fine. You can go." Huh? "You didn't even look her over." I reprimand her. "I can tell she's not hurt by looking at her. She's not bleeding or limping. And she isn't complaining of any pain that I can tell." Well I guess I can trust her medical opinion. With that we are sent out.
"So you hungry Arisana?" Well I haven't had breakfast. "Sure. I could go for some food." What's Serene planning? "Lets go eat then." I quickly follow her to the Mess Hall for some Breakfast and Tea… Well Tea for me Orange Fanta for her. "Tell me about yourself." She says suddenly. "Hm? Why?" Why does she want to know about me? "I want to know more about you. I'll tell you about me if you want." Well I can't pass up this opportunity. "So what do you want to know?" I can't tell her everything about me. We would be here for days. "Do you have any hobbies?" Well aside from blowing things up. "Well I like tinkering with machines." It's a weird boyish hobby. "So you're a mechanic?" I prefer something more explosive. "Not really I mean like Mechs and weapons tech." I inform her. "Really? That's so cool!" She says that a lot. "Anything else?" I ask wanting to move this along. " So, What school did you go to? Did you have lots of friends and stuff?" Well aside from Elementary School I was at a really prestigious school until collage. "I went to the White Rose All Girls University. I didn't have too many friends though." I might as well be honest about it. "You went to White Rose?! Man being an Abstra really has some benefits." I doubt being My Fathers Daughter has anything to do with it. "Aside from being Jealous do you have any other questions?" I wonder what she's going to ask next. "Do you have any lovers?" I nearly choke on my tea when I hear that. "What? No!" I quickly respond after returning to normal. "Really? An amazing girl like you would've at least had a couple of girlfriends. Or boyfriends if you're into that." Really? Right. "Well I haven't had any. No Boy or Girlfriends." I tell her honestly. "Really? That's really surprising. Have you ever considered it?" I have no need for romance or love. "No. I've never considered something so frivolous." I tell her flatly. "I see. I guess this isn't a time to talk about romance then." That was easy. "Any other Questions?" We're on question number 4 I think. I need to remember to ask her what she asked me. "Well I guess I could ask you your favorite color." Finally a normal question. "Blue and Orange. Mind if I ask a few questions?" Its my turn to go on the offensive. "Go Ahead! Ask away!" She says with a big smile. "So what school did you go to?" Clearly not as good a school as mine. "The Valkruez Imperial University!" Well it's still not a cheap school. "Got any hobbies?" I quickly ask the next question. "I like watching Anime, Drawing, and playing Video Games." I see. So she's an Otaku. "Have any Lovers?" Her smile disappears and shes quiet for a while. "I used to have someone. But it didn't end well." I see… "What's your favorite color?" Her smile returns as she responds. "Blue and Gold!" I gain a smirk. "Got any friends?" She seems to enjoy this question. "I have tons of friends!" I knew I was going to regret that. "So how'd you get so strong Arisana?" I stare at her. "I'm not that strong." I couldn't be stronger than the violent ruffian. "Well you certainly kicked my ass." Well that was technique. "I was lucky." I quickly give her a believable excuse. "Well I think your just really strong." I know. She thinks I'm cool and strong. Why is it the psycho? "If you say so." I'm not going to be drawn into the roundabout. "But you are! But just cause your stronger than me doesn't mean it's going to stay that way! I'll prove to everyone that I can be strong too." So she's crazy. "I'm looking forward to it." If that's her goal I'm willing to invest some time into her. "I'll surpass you one of these days." I think this might be fun or it could be unnecessary. "Good Luck." I tell her. After that we finish Breakfast and go do some personal training.
