Practical exam and departure to Heimdallr
S.1204, 7.21, Wednesday,
There is another practical exam and as always triplets were idling in the back. They know that Sara is going make them battle each other in groups of two.
The triplets wanted to see if Rean can win if Laura and Fie are not at odds with each other. Rean chose Alisa as his partner.
The triplets have somewhat expected this. "Who do you think will win?" asked Girish due to uncertainty.
"Laura and Fie." replied Ram.
Bhargav kept silent and looked at the duelers taking stance. "What about you, Bhargav?" asked Girish.
"I think it will be Rean and Alisa." said Bhargav with extreme confidence.
"Hmm? I didn't expect such an answer from you. Since situation is quite different from the game I thought you would suggest otherwise." said Girish in an extremely low voice.
"I would've bet on them afterwards in the park but there is a chance that plot correction will occur and Rean is much powerful than in the game." whispered Bhargav.
The other two raised an eyebrow at their brother. They never expected such an answer because he has an attitude of jumping into conclusions most of the time.
In fact when they thought about it, there waasn't anything wrong with his argument because they have studied novels on villains where the plot is corrected by the system or other entities.
"Let's see." said Girish.
"Begin." said Sara.
The two sides began their fight. The battle was quite tough as neither side was giving up easily.
"Yep, what Bhargav said is correct." said Girish.
"Didn't expect that happening completely." replied Ram as he saw the battle.
Even though it looked like the battle was a stalemate, due to Alisa's constant barrage of arrows on Fie she could not produce any openings for Laura to exploit.
Rean and Laura fought each other. Their swords clashed and due to recent outburst of Ogre power Rean was brimming with energy. The agile strikes of Eight Leaves one blade put Laura on defensive.
But Fie saw that Alisa's attacks were becoming weaker over time and tried to help Laura but Rean put some gap between them.
Fie started firing bullets and Rean and Alisa had to dodge them giving Laura time to strike. Alisa jumped back and released a fire arrow onto Laura and she had to stop to defend herself while Rean ran towards Fie to fight.
Laura and Fie were again put on defensive.
"Enough." said Sara.
"Well, the plot is corrected folks." whispered Ram.
The other battles continued.
Two days ago...
When Elise was being sent off.
The triplets stood behind Class VII but did not admonish Rean like others.
When the talk about armor came they looked at Triplets.
"Tell me something. The normal armor doesn't seem to be related to the Sept Terrion of Darkness. Do you three perhaps know its origins?" asked Sara.
Bhargav replied by saying "We do know the origins of the building but we are not supposed to talk about it."
"Why?" asked Rean.
"Let's just say the world will suffer some unwanted troubles." replied Ram.
"Yes. You guys should solve the mystery of it yourself. That's the path all 9 of you have to take and any intereference from us will be a pain for the fates of many." said Girish.
The Class VII members suspicions grew on the three of them but their words somehow felt true to them.
The triplets have learned a big lesson during the past Field study. They chose not to make changes which aren't manageable by any means.
Sara decided to stop them from venturing again but the Class VII members persuaded her.
She looked at triplets and asked "Is there a chance that those creatures might appear again in the basement?"
"Yes. But after this incident all three of us have been working on a new type of Quartz. If we're successful then you guys can face these creatures. Not only that if given a chance we can make your weapons capable enough to defeat those creatures." said Girish.
Class VII members, SARA and Elise were dumbfounded because no one expected triplets will go as far as developing a new quartz.
"What is the new quartz?" asked Elliot.
The triplets signalled that it is a secret. They understood the meaning because there might be a chance a minion of darkness will be present.
At present...
"Next it's time to announce this month's field study locations." said Sara.
The list was given and all of them looked at it.
[Field Study: July]
Group A: Rean, Laura, Fie, Machias, Elliot, Bhargav.
(Study Location: Heimdallr, The Vermillion Capital)
Group B: Alisa, Emma, Jusis, Gaius, Ram, Girish.
(Study Location: Heimdallr, The Vermillion Capital)
While Class VII was thinking about the location details, the triplets thought about the events that are going to happen.
"I am worried what sort of creature darkness is going to send now." said Girish.
"Yeah, you're not wrong but I ain't backing down." said Bhargav
Ram replied "Don't worry. The dark creature will not appear in capital."
"Why?" asked Girish.
"Because it is the domain of Ishmelga." replied Ram.
"But schoolhouse hosts him so there should be great one's presence. Why did that creature appear?" asked Bhargav.
"But it wasn't that strong and Valimar is opposed to Ishmelga according to game settings." whispered Ram.
"You have a point. It is just like Godzilla Vs Ghidorah." said Girish.
"Yes. The great one is the power native to this world and it won't allow an alien entity to rule over this world." said Ram.
They spoke in a low voice so that others couldn't hear them.
S.1204, 7.24, Saturday,
On the field study day triplets joined with the group and there was no discussion this time about Laura and Fie. They entered the station and joined with the other group.
They boarded the train and departed for Heimdallr. While others talked about the location the triplets kept on playing blade.
