7 Flustered Alice and spar

Apfel: Good afternoon, my name is Apfel Hunt, just ascended to cape, i was told to report to this squad, are you perhaps the comander? 'Hmm the commander seems familiar somehow'.

Alice: "a Ah! yes! Yes i'm this squad commander, Alice Marigold, you must be the soldier that is being tranfered here today." She says with flustered face. "It was a real surprise, specialy since we were about to departure for a mission today"

Apfel: "I'm sorry you had to change your schedule just because of me" ' isn't she one of the most important heroes in the war against tale'.

Alice: 'kyaaa! whats with that angelic face saying that, is unfair, unfair i tell you, no! get a hold of yourself Alice' (yes, she fell really hard) *ahem* Well are you exhausted? or will you be alright showing a bit of what you can do? normally i would let you get some rest but the mission got delayed for tomorrow and i want to get to know you better...*her face starts to heat up again* not that way! i mean way you move your body!...*her face redden even more* wait, not that, i mean how you fight! *hah hah*

Apfel: 'pfff this is really fun seeing such aparently normaly composed girl like this' *sudden glint in the eyes* "hahaha Commander Alice is really funny". He says with a soft smile, but gets closer to her and whisper to her ears." I'm looking forward to have a looot of fun with commander Alice". He says with husky and slightly sadistic voice, and retracting his body a bit. "And i don't have a problem with showing my abilities a little, i'm not that exhausted."*smile*

Alice felt a shiver going down her lower back and her heart started to bit fast, her face red and her mind goes blank for a second. Then looking at him, she seems to awaken and in hurried flustered voice said "a alright! lets go and present you to your companions and see your abilities" She said all this while leaving hurriedly and avoiding his eyes trying to regain her composure.

Apfel walked softly behind her with a smile on his face as if he had just won something. Then they went to the training grounds as Alice avoided him with a pouty face like a child all the way and every time he looked towards her she would turn her face and *hnmp* him.

The troop was composed of elite warriors from the marigold family that accompanied Alice all this time, a rabbit man, a man with a hat, 3 girls and other 3 men, it seems the last 3 were just incorporated like him but long time ago. As Alice and him got closer, the soldiers stood up and looked at her.

Alice: Guys, this here is Apfel Hunt, a new soldier incorporated to our squad, get along together, also, i need someone to spar with him.

???: I will spar with him, i will kick his pretty face and then surely Lea will recognice my strengh and start dating me

???: So is Lea now, wasn't Anna just yesterday, and Mae before.

???: No wasn't it the commander at the beggining

???: There is no way, even though the commander is the most atractive, but if you try to talk her about dating just even a little she will give you the absolute zero gaze, its too frightening, also a lot of nobles went after her and no one has suceeded, and lastly she beat the shit out of us in every spar, she is too terrifing

???: That's true as well.

??? What are you saying!? obviously thats not truth, it alwais was Lea

???×2: Yeah yeah how could we forget.

Suddenly the temperature in the enviroment started get down and a terrifing aura started to leak around. The source? A really pissed of Alice.

Alice: So thats how you see me, is that so, is that so.

As she was about to go and crush their fighting spirit, minds and maybe their manhood as well, a hand came to their rescue and stopped the monster but it only pissed them out as the hand was from Apfel and he went really close to Alice and said "don't take it to heart commander, there are people that after so much time in the battlefield come out from there with mental problems, also tomorrow we have a mission isn't it, we need all the squad don't we?" But as he was too close to her face she started to redden and stutter and didn't even heard half of what he said and just said "just start fighting already!" while hiding her face.

Apfel:"Well i can fight them, but i use spears, swords, daggers and bow so it would be better to show that as well and not just fight"

Hearing this, Alice calmed down and the others were surprised as it's not normal to have ability with so much variety of weapons.

Alice: "Then start with the bow and show us what you can do"

After that i took my bow and arrows and even though the bow was a little unbalanced i can't be so exigent. I put an arrow on the string, got in posture and fired it towards a target 50m away, then i went 100m away and shot again, then 200m and so on until 500m and all of them were in the same spot the first arrow was at. All the squad was silent, it was indead a great accuracy although not someyhing not seen before, thats just how awesome were the people in this world.

Alice: Thats really good, enough to put you here but thats not all, right?

Apfel: Well i could do better but this is just a normal training ground without any difficulties and my bow is not one i'm accostumed to. ' i can use the bow in fast succesion and also at tricky points while moving around, but is too much of a hustle and i don't want unnecesary attention, someone that can kill a general with an arrow is too valuable after all'.

Alice: "Okay, thats good" She was actually happy for him as he was this competent already he will be a powerhouse one day. oh! if she knew." alright then, the stupid trio over there are Harold, Jeral and Wayne, Apfel, you will spar with them all one after the other with spear, sword and dagger respectively. Come forward Harold."

Harold was the one that wanted to fight with him first from the beggining, also was the one that was looking at him with most hatred for no reason.

Harold: I will beat you, liberate the commander from your pretty face charm and then make you tell how you did it!

Apfel:' So the last think is what you really wanted!' "Come" he said making a gesture with his hand.

Harold made a dash and tried to slash at him, his strengh and speed was good and his posture wasn't bad either but.. it was still lacking, Apfel used his shield to parry and with a move he redirected Harold body weight making him lose his center of gravity and stumble to his left side letting a fissure in Harold's defence, and his spear went for a stab but Harold forcefully defended with his shield making him totaly lose his balance. But Apfel was nor knight nor a begginer and did not let go of the opportunity, with a twist from his hand the stabing spear came down slashing and stopped a centimeter away from Harold's neck the match was so fast that not even 5 seconds passed, Harold gulped down and stood there petrified at the speed and eficiency with wich he was defeated.

Alice: "W wow, that was incredible, i didn't think you would be this good!" She was getting excited as the guy she fell for was this strong, maybe he really is her prince in white horse." Now Jeral"

Jeral held a sword and shield and once Alicia gave the signal he also made a dash but tried a shield bash instead of a direct attack.

Apfel simply put his right food forward and made a turn on it, getting to Jeral's back like a bullfighter and then slashed with his sword, but Jeral was able to block albeit barely with his shield. Seeing this, apfel made a jump and used his shield as a hummer from above making jeral unbalanced figure abandon his sword and grab his shield with both hands overhead, and with shield as a base, Apfel made a twirl midair and landed at jeral's unprotected back and his sword pointing at his neck. "It's my lose" said Jeral hurriedly and put down his shield.

This time no one could say anything, his dexterity was on a total other level and his fight seemed more like dance with perfect control over his movement and his opponents moves.

Alice became too excited now, Apfel was just too perfect, incredible looks and ability, hrr heart beat become erratical and she had an almost fanatical look in her face... but she had to control herself she said to herself and took deep breaths to calm down but still she said with maybe a little too much entusiasm " Incredible Apfel! The way you fight is just wow! Is just too beatiful!..." yes, she didn't calm at all.

This made the Man with hat and rabbit man really happy, they hadn't seen the young miss this happy in a long time, she was almost all the time calm and serious now, but they knew this wasn't her true nature. Although this young man should be looked at with great carefullness and make sure that he wasn't playing with the young miss heart, as they could see it inmediatly, they had been with her from baby after all, she had fallen in love for the first time.

Rabbit man: *ahem* Mylady please compose yourself.

This awoke Alice from her daydreaming, oh it has been a really long time since she last daydreamed. 'Anyway calm down Alice, calm down!' she said to herself getting self conscious and flustered once again, this man seemed didn't just take her heart but part of her mind as well.

Alice "*ahem* sorry i got a little excited, with this is enough, everyone go rest now, we have work to do tomorrow" she said with her face bright red and went to her tend running away.

Top-Hat man: "Well it seems it is enough for today, my name is Hatter Craze, is pleasure to meet you, i will guide you now as the young miss seems unwell right now. Oh! I almost forgot, this old rabbit by my side is Hare White, we are old companions of young Alice father. The three ladies are Mae, Lea and Anna, childhood friends of young Alice as well. And the tree idiots over there are soldiers that came to this squad the same way like you. Now with proper introductions done shall i show you the way to your tent?"

Apfel: Thank you mister Craze i will be in your care and is a pleasure mister White and young ladies.

Wayne was totally forgoten by everyone
