Lay on the ground with your back facing the roof

Tai Shihan a third year at the Dragons and Phoenixes Academy who just reached the Second Grade Stage. As a third year student she is required to lead a group of three Martial Artist on five missions before she graduates.

Today was the day of her first mission and she is not really pleased with the team she got. Who would be!? She is in charge of the worst group ever to be created in the history of the Dragons and Phoenixes Academy.

"You can do this Shihan." She muttered to herself, as she looked up her own image in the water. An average face with long black hair and twinkling brown eyes. An athletic fit body perfect for a young maiden like her with fair skin.

Shihan walked out of the river and put on her hanbok robes, before taking her long sliver spear. It was still early in the morning a time when the only man awake would be roosters, but she still decided to head at the Academy gates where she would meet up with client for the mission.

Passing through the bridge that stood between the gate and the training field, Shihan could notice some early birds their morning exercises and just ignored them just like all the other days.

–"Hahaha!"

–"Hahaha!"

Reaching the large wooden gates she could see two boys who were sitting on a bench laughing happily and she quickly noticed them, since there were the members of her team for the next few days.

The first was the foolish Swordsman from the Namgung family who had brought arrow as his weapon and next to him was the drunken son of the Peng family, Peng Gao who unlike the other didn't seem prepared at all.

"Haa..." Shihan took a deep sigh and walked over to the two idiots of their respective families, "Hello! I am Tai Shihan who is going to be your leader on this mission!"

In the eyes of the two people she was greeting, Tai Shihan appeared differently. Peng Gao was so drunk that she appeared like a mermaid thanks to the scale designs on the end of her hanbok, "Hu hu, why is someone like you outside the river."

In front of Namgung Wong's she was another quest for him.

____

A person with an ego item has been found!

Help Tai Shihan to find out she holds a ego item.

Reward.

Tai Shihan's favor.

_____

Wong was slightly shocked as this was the first mission that wasn't forced upon him. His red eyes scanned Shihan from head to toe, trying to find the item, but all he could see were a ring and a spear, "It is a pleasure to meet you senior. "

Shihan just waved back at the two and waited for the client, as the sun start to rise. In all honesty she didn't want the third member to arrive, but fate had it the other way.

"Hey! Cousin!" The loud voice belonged to a teenage boy with short black hair and matching eyes. He is the crazy son of the Morong Clan, Morong Fan.

He had his sword in his hand and a basket of wild fruits on the side which would make anyone think he is going for a picnic.

'Why do I have to be stuck in a group with this men!?' Shihan was even regretting the reason she agreed to be take the mission. Suppressing her rage she waved back at her crazy cousin, "I am fine thanks for asking Fan."

"Hahaha! Of course my beautiful cousin would be fine!" Morong Fan smiled and walked to the other two, "Do you want some of this fruit!? It is good I assure you!"

'Can this guy stop shouting?' the two men thought at the same time, as they shook their heads, "I am fine, thank you for asking."

"It is your lose! Hahaha! I am going to enjoy this fruit myself!!"

'Please shut the fuck up!"

The first day of the mission went smoothly without any problems and it was now night time. Packing their carriage to the side of the road, a fire was set in the middle of the forest and all the boys were peacefully sleeping in front of Tai Shihan's eyes.

She couldn't possibly find sleep thanks to the group of idiots snoring. She moved back to the carriage, since she couldn't train.

"My shoulders hurt." She muttered to herself, as she stepped inside the carriage only to be greeted by one of the idiots she left outside laying on the floor, "Namgung Wong what are you doing here!?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came here to rest." Wong said with a smile on his face, trying to disguise the fact that he can't sleep with men, "I have something that can heal your back, but you have to tell me about all the items on you."

"..." Shihan was surprised with what the foolish swordsman from the Namgung family was saying. Shoulder, feet and back injuries where something common among Martial Artist, how can a person who doesn't even have any idea about Martial Arts know to cure that, "Stop fooling around and go to sleep."

Wong sat up straight and up his hand on his chin, "You spent the whole day walking, your feet must hurt a lot."

Shihan stayed silent for a bit, as what the young man had said was true. She has walked over a thousand miles without rest, unlike the three idiots who were in the carriage, she had to keep on the look out for bandits.

"Due to all the training you do everyday, you must feeling pain on some of your joints." Wong was able to make out that fact, because for the days he has been here, he saw Martial Artist training like crazy, "If you keep doing that to yourself, you might end up not having a child in the future."

"What!?"

Wong smiled at himself for making the right guess, everyone has a time they dream about having a child, it is better to not have one because you don't want to, than not having because you can't.

Shihan didn't see herself losing anything. All the items she have a all useless anyway. She crossed her arms and kept her serious face, "What do I have to do?"

"Just lay on the ground with your back facing the roof."
