After Yesterday's intense Personal Training and rough first day I wake up again. My body hurts… Maybe a walk will help me get some rest. I go outside and walk to the Training Hall. I walk inside to maybe put forth more training. I can't rest for a minute if I'm ever going to go to the front lines. Once in there I see Serene. She seems to be training as well. "Hey Serene. Can't sleep again?" She stops her attack and answers. "Yeah. I need to get stronger too." I see. "What a coincidence. Meeting like this for the third time." Yeah how could I forget the First time? "Third time? We've only met like this once before." Oh right! How could I be so careless?! "Well you see. The night before I got my acceptance letter I had a dream in which we met in a room similar to this." It's crazy I know. "You saw me in a dream?" I don't blame her for not believing me. "Well yeah. It's hard to believe I know." I say ready for her to slap me for using what sounds like a bad pickup line. "So it's destiny we've met. Isn't it?" That's an odd reaction. "I suppose it could be." I don't really believe in that destiny shit. "Arisana lets spar!" WTF?!
"Huh? First you say it's destiny we meet and now you want to fight me?" Just so I can get this straight. "I still want to get stronger." Okay… "Sure let's do it!" I say as I draw my sword. Serene then charges at me with a vertical slash. I try to counter with a horizontal strike. She side steps out of the way and follows up with a jab. I quickly block with my shield and follow with a thrust. I barely manage to get her but I do succeed in backing her off. She retaliates by quickly pulling her gun out and shooting me in the face with paint. It stings slightly but I am quick to whip out the firecrackers and launch them in the direction where I hear her footsteps. I hear her step out of the way of the bang and charge at me. I put up my shield and charge at her planning to Shield Bash her. I feel her sword recoil off of my shield and I hear her stagger. I quickly fire my gun at her staggering footsteps as I run at her presence. I hear her fall to the ground, but I hear her light some firecrackers to throw at me. I quickly back away and listen for the hissing of the fuse and wait to hear her scream for forgetting to throw them or something odd like that. To my disappointment I hear her throw them at me as she gets up. I narrowly avoid the hissing fuse and charge at what I assume to be her neck with my arm as I ready my gun to shoot her in the head with and end the fight.I suddenly feel her sword hit me in the stomach and spins around to hit my gun hand knocking it out. I use this opportunity to Shield Bash her stunning her already dizzy self and put my sword to her chest. "Okay now that I won how about we deal with the paint in my eyes?" I say partly hoping she won't continue so I can wash out my eyes. "DAMN IT!" I hear her yell. "I lost again! Why can't I win! I AM NOT WEAK!" I hear her scream in frustration as she throws her sword to the ground and storms out. I guess that's a no to helping me… I guess we all have issues. Just hers involves having friends be blinded with pink paint. I suppose I can try the hose I saw outside. It's usually there. Even so the faucet should provide the water without killing me.
I find my way outside and find the hose. I detach it from the faucet and flush out my eyes getting some water on my shirt but I can change later. I then hear Seirnity scream in terror and fear. I quickly run over to see about six or seven wolf-like creatures in front of Serene. "Aahh schoo! Go on get! Get! Serene-Chan doesn't taste good!"... How did I know she was going to say that? The Wolves seem to look at each other before one of them lunges at her. Just as I run to save her, someone else in white shows up and attacks it for me. " A Innocent Maiden screams and A Gallant Knight shall appear. That's how things go in this scenario. Isn't it?" It's that guy… Actually I don't know this guys name. "If it is a fight you're after then come to me for I am Signales Alcast! You will fall by my blade!" Oh now I know his name. I've heard the Alcast family is all skilled soldiers and fighters. Maybe having him help will be good for us. I quickly run over and join them with my sword seemingly ignores Alcast as She roundhouse kicks a wolf who's about to bite Sir Alcast in the back. "You should pay more attention Mr. Brave Knight you're not gonna win me over by being killed while showing off!" she says rather coldly. "Relax. I'm not here to win over any women. I'm here to help a fellow cadet who is improperly equipped. Now let us do this right!" He says as he attacks another Wolf. I run over and deliver the finishing blow. "These things won't be easy with these weapons. Lets try working together. Serene try blinding them with your paintballs, Sir Alcast you and I will attack the blinded Wolf. If we're lucky we can kill them quickly or at least survive until a Guard arrives to save our bacon." I tell the both of them. "Right I'll blind them for you!" she says shooting three of them in the face blinding them. Sir Alcast nods as we synchronize our attack crushing the wolves skull between our swords. We then move along as he kills one of them and I kill the other. Four down three more to go! The one near Serene gets up to try to bite her again but she throws lit firecrackers in it's face and then breaks it's neck with her Shield "I am Seirnity Sora, The Knight of Love and Passion! I NOT BE BEATEN BY THESE POORLY TRAINED MUTTS!" Well… It seems me and her will get along wonderfully. With her neck breaking ability and my kill anything that moves skill we would be the ultimate team! "Good job! Now try euthanizing the rest, Knight of Love and Passion." Sir Alcast says messing with her nickname by layering it in sarcasm as I crush another Wolves Skull. Serene blinds the last one then Shield Bashes it into the air, I Upthrust stabbing it and sending it further in the air, Sir Alcast then jumps up to the roof of the Training Hall and then jumps off of it to finish it off. He does a powerful downward strike and smashes into the ground giving his sword the splinter treatment. "All right. We managed to make it mostly unscathed." I say staring at Signales' sword which is now a hilt. "Yes well I'm going to bed and seeing if I can bother the Quartermaster about a new sword. I'd rather not deal with HER again if I can avoid it." He says as he walks off. I better go and change out of these wet clothes. I feel like I'm forgetting something… Must be my imagination.
Serene suddenly runs up and hugs me pressing her breasts against me. "Wow that was really scary, good thing you were around to help me! We make great team Ari-Chan!" She says excitedly. Ari-Chan? What the hell is this? Some Cheap Manga? "Where in the hell did you get the idea to call me Ari-chan?" As far as I know I haven't told her that very few people call me Ari. "Well I thought we were close enough that I could give you a nickname as well. That and seeing how cute you are with your bra visible through your wet shirt I had to give you a cute nickname." Well it could've been worse… I quickly cover my chest with my arms. Pervert! "Have you forgotten? Lest the Teaching of Crimson Escape thee. Raise! Raise to your true name! Raise Ari-" I drop to my knees holding my head in pain as the voice in my head yells at me suddenly. "Ari-Chan are you alright!? What's wrong!?" The voice disappeared just as suddenly as it had appeared. I force myself to stand and look at Serene. "I'm fine, We should tell a Guard about the breech and get some sleep." I tell her as I try to regain my composure. "We should take you to Bachmel to make sure you're alright." She says concerned. "We need to let the Guards know of the breech first. I'm fine." I really am fine. "Well if you say so. I forgot something in the Training Hall meet you back at the Barracks 'kay?" Figures. I have to do it by myself. "Alright see you there." I tell her as I walk literally four feet before seeing a group of Knights. "Hi there. If you're the Guards you're late. There is a broken fence somewhere nearby. If you could take care of it i'm sure everyone would be greatful," I tell the Guards. After that they disperse and I go to the Barracks, Change,crawl into bed and see if I can't get some rest before the wake-up call.
