In the back alleys being chased
Crow: get back here kid

She runs around a corner to see a fence blocking her path
Skylar: whaa a fence OK don't fail me please work
Crow: Ahaha finally caught you now give me your money

She tries to activate her ordnance but there's only a light
Crow: oh I see well then activate core
He grabs a round shaped object it transforms into a golden knife
Skylar: uh a core

Hm: well there's a class I need you to teach
Aaron: what no no no I can't teach I have to keep doing Bounties
HM: I know your searching but you need to take a break so you have to teach the basics
Aaron: the basics
HM: yes you know he actually asked me for this job but since he's missing you'll have to fill in after all you are team leader right
Aaron: fine
HM: also until your class learns the basics you can't do any Bounties
Aaron: what why
HM: you need to be focused and you did 5 Bounties yesterday
Aaron: hey you know I'm also trying to find..
HM: they haven't been up to any activities lately so take a break
Aaron: yeah I suppose your right
Hm: you might even find a new teammate
Aaron: yeah right
Hm: that was a joke calm down
Here's the details now get going it's 8:27
Aaron: wait where is this class
Hm: uh
Aaron: aren't you the headmaster
Hm: shut it now get going you'll be late
Aaron:*sigh*
8:33
Skylar walks into class but there's no teacher
There's 2 other students
Jack: late on your first day
Skylar: I don't know what you mean I don't see a teacher
Mark: ha
Jack: you shouldn't be late
Skylar: yeah yeah this place is hidden
Jack: not if you looked at the map
Skylar: there was a map?
She sits down
Another minuet passes 8:34
A Rift open and Aaron walks out
Skylar: (him again)
Mark: woah it's aaron
Aaron: uh sorry guys it took some time to find this place it's kinda hidden
Jack: but what about the map
Aaron: there's a map?
Jack:*sigh* you to she was also late
Skylar: did you have to say that
Aaron: huh oh I remember you from Saturday what was your name
Skylar: it's Skylar
Aaron: so you were late to oh well still earlier than me okay what about you two
Jack
Mark
Aaron: alright then OK
Jack: wait what about roll call
Aaron: uh it's just three of you right
Jack: yes
Aaron: we don't need a roll call
Jack: but
Mark: I think we're good
Aaron: okay then also this is the basics you'll only be here for a couple of days
Jack: yeah ok
Skylar: I can already tell how you were in high school
Aaron: I can too
Jack: what.. What does that mean
Aaron: well anyways this is the basics for people who can't use their ordnance yet so the first step to start using your ordnance it to make a....
Jack: a torch it's the start of being able to use your souls power
Aaron: ah yeah so can you make a torch
Jack: nope
Aaron: ah ha
Skylar: I can see
She holds out her hand a white flame appears in her hand
Aaron:(a white torch she has an angle soul) ah so you can already make a torch then so why are you in the basics for
Skylar: I can't use my ordnance
Aaron: hmm well can you explain how to make a torch
Skylar: you just focus on your palm and feel the energy going there
Mark: hmm
He tries its and he makes a dark green torch
Jack also makes a torch it's basic blue
Jack: I can do it does this mean I can go to regular class now
Aaron: yeah If you want but...
Jack: thanks a lot I'll be heading out
He walks out
Aaron: I was going to say I was going to teach about cores and combat so you all can be a couple weeks a head but I guess he'll be fine
Mark: he's always been like that since middle school he was class president
Skylar: it seemed like it
Aaron: oh well so any questions
Mark: what's the differences in soul color
Aaron: the color shows compatibility with spells like a basic red soul is more compatible with fire and less likely to be able to use ice spells it's not impossible but it's really hard
Mark: what about our souls
Aaron: well yours is more environment based like plants so fire spells are not compatible
And Skylar's is white so that means she has an angel soul more uh I don't really know to much about angel spells they have their own requirements to use those spells like you have to have an angel soul
Skylar: what color soul do you have
Aaron: black
Mark and Skylar:????
Mark: isn't that bad
Aaron: don't worry about me
Mark: but I've never seen you use your ordnance in matches
Aaron: yeah
Skylar: also didn't you get to S rank in 1 week
Aaron: yeah
Mark: got any tricks you can teach us
Aaron: not really I've been using my power for years
Mark: how normally people don't learn how to use there soul power till there 18
Aaron: don't know just practice makes perfect
Skylar: Saturday didn't you knock that guy out without using your ordnance
Aaron: yep
Mark: you even make bounties sound easy huh
Aaron: well I'll be helping you guys out for a couple of days so don't worry
So keep practicing with the torch and I'm sure your ordnance will click with you
Mark: why are you teaching basics for
Aaron: The headmaster thinks I'm overworking myself so he's forcing me to stop Bounties for a couple of days
Mark: how many Bounties have you done in the last week
Aaron: 37
Mark and Skylar: WHAT
skylar: how many did you do on Saturday
Aaron: only 6
Mark: six in one day damn
Aaron: well it's almost lunch time so do whatever till then I have to work on a core for later
1:20 lunch time
Mark got his ordnance up Skylar can already activate it but nothing happens
Skylar sees her friends she sits with them
Annie: hey Skylar can you use your ordnance yet
Skylar: nope
Carla: eh I'm sure the basics aren't the best
Annie: yeah I bet the teacher barely knows anything
Skylar: (ha wouldn't they be surprised)
Annie: I mean they need someone to teach it right it's not like they can get some amazing like
Skylar: aaron
Annie: yeah I bet he doesn't care about teaching
Skylar: you'd be surprised
Carla: wait is he teaching
Skylar: y...
Annie: come on you know he's not
After lunch 1:40 it's 1:45
Mark and Aaron are back in the class
Then Skylar walks in
Mark: man I'm glad jack is not here anymore I can't handle his complaining
Skylar: I know it's not like I want to be late
Aaron: ah it doesn't matter to me as long as your here I won't report you
Skylar: thanks
Aaron: okay I went ahead and made a core weapon let's go to the training grounds I'll show this thing off
Also mark you can test your ordnance out
They go there
Aaron: okay go a head test out your ordnance on me
Mark: are you sure
Aaron: yeah come on
Mark: how do you know it's a ranged ordnance
Aaron: just trust me it's like a bow
Mark: fine
He act like he's pulling a bow and arrow
And when he releases it it shoots a beam of green light
Aaron activates his basic ordnance it's just black aura around his hand he destroys the green beam and there's a green spot on his hand it slowly fades
Aaron: ah did you see that green spot eventually you'll be able to manipulate it
Mark: how
Aaron: you'll have to figure that out
Hey Skylar catch
He tosses a core at her
Skylar: uh what about my ordnance
Aaron: I think I know your ordnance but try that out
Skylar: uh activate core
It transformed into a sniper rifle
Skylar: woah
Mark: damn
Aaron: I just wiped something up really quick
Skylar: why do I have this
Aaron: ah well you need to be able to fight if you want to be here right
Skylar: yeah
Aaron: and with your ordnance it's impossible to fight with
Skylar: what?
Aaron: your a healer
Mark: but healers can't use core tho right
Aaron: yeah a normal healer but she has an angel soul
Skylar: okay so?
Aaron: you don't have a weapon ordnance your ordnance is for healing
Mark: still I never heard of a healer who could use a core
Aaron: me neither so Skylar go for it
He presses a button and a target dummy appears
Aaron: if you can shoot it it means you can use it so go for it
Skylar: okay
She lines up the shot and pulls the trigger
A white bullet made of soul power flys out and goes into the dummy's head dead center
Aaron: nice shot I guess you've shot one before
Skylar: my parents taught me when they were still alive
Mark: woah
Aaron: okay now
He's looking through his notes from HM
Aaron: ah yes I got to show you what a core at full power can do
Mark: then what was hers set to
Aaron: it's modded high but not maxed unlike this activate core
It transformed into a rail gun
Aaron: okay stand back I've never maxed the power on a rail gun before so
They take a step back
10 dummys pop up I'm a row
Aaron: okay
He aims at the first one
He pulls the trigger and a black beam shoots out
It penetrates each target then hits the wall when it does it explodes and now there's hole in the wall
Aaron: uh well let's get out of here
They leave
3:30
Mark leaves skylar is walking out and thinks she should thank aaron for the core
Skylar: hey Aaron thanks for the core

Aaron: well 6 months ago we were on a mission
*Flash Back*
Target: get em
Karma: ha sending your lackeys in while you run
Aaron: of courses he is his men are dispensable
9 guys are charging at Aaron and karma
Karma activates his ordnance 2 blood red blades appear he slashes 4 of them

And shoots the other 5 with 2 shots
Karma: aaron why are you using a core

Karma: can it you criminal
Target: ha ha ha karma who's the real criminal
Aaron: what are you on about you've killed so many people , armed robbery, I could go on
Target: ha I'm not the only one of us who's killed here am I
Aaron: we may have killed some targets before but it's not against the law
Target: but one of you have killed an innocent
Karma: shut up
Karma: hey Aaron give me a minute with him
Aaron: fine
Karma gets to whisper position and listen
Target: I know you've killed a girl when you were 9
Karmas eyes go wide
Target: also that girl was your friends sister
Karma: what
Target: also I have a message from reaper he says it's been to long you should meet up with them or your only friend will die
Karma: reaper
Target: I have a note in my pocket read it
Karma gets the note and reads it
Target: now let's go together and if you turn me in to your friend I'll tell him you killed his sister
Karma: fine
He stands up
Aaron: you ready yet
Karma: I I'm sorry
Aaron: what
Karma: I'm sorry okay I..
Aaron: what the hell did you say to him
Target: I told him some info now karma what are you going to do
Karma: I'll do the right thing
Target: good
Karma stabs their target and kills him
Aaron: woah what the hell
Karma: I'm can't go back
He starts walking away
Aaron: hey wait
Karma activates his codex
Karma: blood rain
Aaron:!?
These red sharp crystals are falling from the sky aaron opens a Rift to block them
Karma: I'm sorry
*end*
Aaron: and that's what happened
Skylar: so your target told him something and he left after he killed the target
Aaron: yeah
Skylar: what ever he was told it must have been important
Aaron: anyways you mentioned earlier your parents taught you how to shoot but there not around anymore
Skylar: yeah they were part of
Law unit 319 and well
Aaron: that unit got wiped out in the war 7 years ago
Skylar: yeah
Aaron: I remember they had a in memories list and half of units the 300s got wiped out that was the biggest loss in people but they won in the end
Skylar: yeah I'm proud of them but now it's just me and my sister
What about your family
Aaron stops and takes a deep breath
Skylar: is it a horrible memory
Aaron: yes but you told me about yours so it's my turn I was 8 when my family got executed in front of me it was just me and my sister after that a year or so went by it was tough but I learned to make and mod cores so I was able to protect her but then the same person came back he brought some one with him and told them to kill her and they could be free so I lost my sister then he said the experiment can begin the he took my soul and gave me my demon soul I was alone until I met karma when I was 11
Skylar: oh i'm sorry I asked
Aaron: don't worry it was so long ago I barely remember my parents also my sister was only killed because someone ordered it I can't blame that person I probably would have done the same if it was for my freedom
Skylar: hmm
Aaron: anyways let's move away from this conversation
Skylar: yeah
Aaron: were almost there
In their quarters
Tora: man Aaron's been gone all day what could he be doing hmmm oh I know I'll prank him
Tora fills a cup with water ink and sugar and places it over the door with a spell that stops a small object
Tora: hehehe
Outside the door
Aaron hesitates to open the door
Skylar: you okay
Aaron: I have a bad feeling I'm going to be pranked when I open the door
Skylar: pranked?
Aaron:*sigh*
He opens the door and when he walks in the liquid falls on him
Tora: Ahahahahah yes
Aaron: tora why
Tora: ah ah I Ahahahahah
Aaron activates his codex
Aaron: dark curse
Tora: wahahahahahahahahah ow why
Aaron: 💢 why
Tora: it's just water ink and sugar

Tora: *sigh* no oh I remember her
Aaron: she's our new teammate
Tora: really a new teammate
Aaron: yeah I'll be back in 5 mins I got to take a shower
He leaves
Tora: so how have you been since Saturday

Tora: what he's teaching
Skylar: yeah I guess the headmaster asked him today
Tora: that's why he was gone today huh
Skylar: yeah I had to learn the basics
Tora: really have you found out what your ordnance is
Skylar: no Aaron said I was a healer
Tora: what you can heal but what about fight

Skylar: aaron said it's because of my soul he said it's an angel soul
Tora: woah hey can you help me out then
Skylar: with what

Skylar: uh no
Tora: come on he has it coming
Aaron: Dark curse
Tora: wahahahahahahahahah why
Aaron: you had it coming
Skylar: didn't your scarf get wet to
Aaron: don't worry about that it has a spell so it can't get dirty wet or holes although it has been a while since it been recast on it
Tora: that was a special gift from his sister
Aaron: yep
Skylar: I see he told me about his family on the way here
Tora: really he's only told that to karma I've been with him for a while so I know so we're the only ones who about him
Skylar: really
Tora: why did you tell her
Aaron: she told me about her family so
Tora: I guess your parents are gone
Skylar: yeah
Tora: so that's why huh
Aaron: they were in the law unit when the war was going on
Tora: let's see I know half of the units in the 300s were killed they weren't in those unit where they

Tora: man I remember hearing that news the Radia bomb killed....
Aaron hits tora
Tora: hey
Aaron: tora don't remind her of her family you idiot
Tora: oh sorry I was...
Skylar: it's okay I'm proud of them they died on duty it's sad but they inspired me to join black point to save people
Aaron: so I guess you didn't want to join a Bounty Team
Skylar: nah I was planning to be with my friends on a Bounty team they talked about the money I want to help people but the law units aren't for me
Tora: so why did you join us
Skylar: aaron asked id be pretty stupid to turn it down
Aaron: well she's a teammate now so that means we're friends right
Skylar: of course
Tora: man it's been so lonely since karma left I haven't had a prank buddy
Skylar: I'm not helping you prank aaron
Tora: what
Aaron: yes someone on my side
Tora: your on his side
Skylar: yeah
Tora:💦
Skylar: also he zapped you when you prank him
Aaron: please don't help him ever
Skylar: I won't help him with pranks
Tora: okay then your not immune to my pranks then
Skylar: how about I stay neutral when it comes to pranks
Tora: nope my mind's made up your in the same boat as Aaron
Skylar: *sigh*
Tora: are we doing a mission tonight aaron
Aaron: no I'm on break for a couple of days
Tora: good I'm tired yesterday we did 4 Bounties
Aaron: 5
Tora: really I guess I'm tired to but what about Skylar doesn't she need food money
Aaron: yeah your right hmm how does 5000$ sound
Skylar: what
Aaron: your right 10000$
Skylar: that's not what I meant that's a lot of money
Aaron: just some spending money until we go on a Bounty
Skylar: 10000 that's a lot
Tora: lunch on average is 10$ so you should be set for a while
Skylar: thanks
Aaron takes a card and scans it to his com he puts 10000$ on it
Aaron: here
He throws it towards her she catches it
Aaron: you should have an account here just add that to your account so it's safe and you can use your com to do transactions with I'll have a com for you by tomorrow so don't lose that money

Aaron: do you have any bags or anything
Skylar: yeah all my stuff is packed up its at my house I have to go get it
Tora: your moving in here
Skylar: yeah
Aaron: well let's go
He opens a Rift
Skylar: what is this
Aaron: it's a Rift if we go through that we're basically in another dimension you can't interact with things but it's faster to travel this way
Skylar: what about doors if we can't interact with them
Aaron: we can just walk through something if it's thin enough
Skylar: huh okay then
They go in and go to Skylars house
