Training

****

In a world splitted into three categories.

One - Those with super abilities at the west which had three major village namely Takeki clan, Maneki clan and Razeki clan. Two - Those under the government in the city called 'Visgard' at the north. Three - A place ran by an unknown government leading an army of aliens at the east and a wasteland at the south.

Where each categories believes to be trying to bring peace and harmony or should I say trying to dominate others using their various idea method.

*Takeki*

"Ah, that was a really intensive training" said, by a boy breathing heavily, drinking a bottle of water after training with one of the top knight in the village. A boy with a red faux hawk hairstyle with three stripes of light blue at the sides, putting on a breastplate, knuckle-spiked gloves and a golden pendant with horse head.

"Alright Jade, that's enough for today, get some rest."the knight said, getting up to leave the place, an open ground in the end the street

"What?! I'm not really tired, I need to get stronger, please, Mr. Rog, I really want to participate in the next expedition"

"You aren't of age yet" Rog said backing jade

"Mr. Rog my seventeenth birthday is next week, then I'll be of age, you can't treat me like this, I'll need to prove myself to the king, I need to go find out where my mum is. My dad refused to even talk to me about her not to even talk of my family ever since my sister, Zenn brought me here from Visgard. I thought I would get all the answers I wanted." Jade said looking sad.

"Hey! You know your dad is the king advisor, he's probably doing this for the best, well then let's meet back here in the evening, I have my own work to do as a knight and be careful with the way you practice your fire abilities." Rog advised .

"Hoohoo!! Thanks Mr. Rog, till evening then, I'm heading to see the others."

"And do you mind not calling me 'Mr. Rog' my name's knight Roger"

Knight Roger, a middle age man with red dreaded hair who is always having two pairs of sword by his sides.

They both went their separate ways. While knight Roger went to the king palace Jade went to meat his three-man team at his house.

In Takeki village three group of three-man team is formed by teenagers of sixteen to eighteen years who wants to join the village soldiers in the future. They assist the soldiers in carrying out minor mission like observing for incoming attacks, tax collecting, settling minor disputes in the village.

They have three ways and opportunities to prove their capabilities in order to join the soldiers which is during incoming attacks from other villages, during an expedition and their possibilities of solving internal disputes fair and square in the village. This is also applied to the other villages.

Getting to the rendezvous point two figures could be seen standing at the front of a building opposite the narrow road to the King's palace. A boy with red ponytail hair putting on a silver set of armor and gauntlet standing with is hand folded and a girl with a long red braided hair, wearing a normal armor with a pair of black gloves and a sword by her side.

"Hi Rhen, you look... good!"Jade said hanging his hands on the other's neck. "Hi saz, you look ..." Jade sighs, and continued"a bit too... serious. Sometimes, you need to clear your mind from all this palace-duties stuff. "

"Being a prince is not as easy pissy as you think, I'll need to prove myself to the village, to let them know how hardworking their future king is" Saz replied.

"Alright guys, enough of the king and palace stuff, let's get to work, we need to become the best at this expedition" Rhen said, patting both of them at their back.

"And which isn't going to be easy." Saz said.

"Of course we know it's not, you don't have to tell us" Jade said, as they journey to a field close to the forest at the other end of the street.

"So, what kind of training are we doing today?" Rhen asked

"I think a spar with each other is enough, I mean today is our rest day" Jade answered scratching the back of his head.

"Just because you are tired from your previous training with Mr Roger shouldn't put a limit to what we're are supposed to do. I suggest we go hunting for wide beast. " Saz suggested, smiling at Jade.

"Yeah, I think I agree with Saz if we want to come out best in this expedition we'll need to surpass our limit" Rhen agreed.

'Darn this guy, how am I supposed to keep up with Mr Rog when he comes in the evening.' Jade thought, furrowing. "Alright then, what are the rules?"

"It really simple, we'll go in three different directions to hunt, meeting back at the field. Whoever kills the most beast wins and gets to relax and do as he or she sees fit for a whole working day after the coming expedition. What do you think?" Saz answered, putting on a wild smirk on his face.

'tsk! I definitely can't fumble as I thought I would, now I'll need to win so I can get a day off. At least I would get to do all my training while they do all the work.' Jade thought, smiling as he answered."okay then, I'm in "

"Oh boy! you really are so predictable, what can I say? I'm in." Rhen also agreed.

"Now, let's play this game fair and square!!" Saz said on their arrival on the field.

"This is more of a challenge than a gam... Wait, what!! We're starting now?!" Jade exclaimed.

Rhen was already heading inside the forest as she turned and said "Well then, good luck to both of you."

"Hey, come on Rhen! Can't you be objective sometimes. Agrr!" Jade complained heading into another direction.

Saz was getting deep into the forest when he started hearing growling by beasts. The sound was getting closer before he saw three hungry beast jumped out of the bush eight feet away from him. He halt, trying to clarify what type of beast they are.

'A beasts having long ears stretching to its back with sunken flesh showing all it bones with two fangs coming out of below their mouth, usually called 'Earres'.'

"Whenever you are ready, you can come at me, I'm waiting." Saz taunted, trying to hype himself up.

Usually, villagers don't care about these monster-like beast since they really can't tell where they came from, so soldiers are meant to kill them on sight if possible.

The beasts dashed to their feet, running towards Saz, having their tongue float out with saliva pouring to its tip like a dog about to have it breakfast taken away. Saz get on his fighting stance waiting for them to get in range.

When the Earres' got three feet away from him, Saz stretch both of his hands forward and shot out a barrage of fire from his palm towards the three beast for almost five seconds without hesitation.

On stopping the fire to confirm their death, he couldn't find any beast. Turning to his left, a completely opened teeth with fangs were about to chop off his head, only for him to crouch on instincts allowing the Earres to fall over to his right. Coming back up, he realized that he has been surrounded by the three Earres'.

'Now, now, what do I do?'
