Junior Bounty

Shari's  Pov

"Do you know about my people?" Raven asked me and I shook my head and looked at her piercing red eyes until she said "well if you don't I'll have to tell you later, but that's not the point. The point is I think that YuKame guy is someone from my clan of people." I think to myself for a moment and let what she said to me sink in "I don't think that's true" I say to her "he doesn't have your hair or eye colors" Raven took those words into thought and looked at Em who was silent while this conversation was going on and just looked at us. "Rave when we get home we will need to sleep because Gordon has special training for the first years," Em said while walking up to the dorm doors. ""Got you Em"" we both say while going to our rooms.

YuKame's Pov

So about that special training that's going to happen tomorrow, Any ideas Altair? He replied by asking "you want me to go check? I can go pretty far as my physical form." I said sure but don't go far. He didn't come back until 10 pm and still said he found nothing about the training tomorrow, I'm pretty nervous but i should still get some sleep. "Rise and shine young ones are you ready for training then come to the auditorium in your groups, please." We all got up and started getting our clothes and weapons and started heading to the auditorium we started sitting down when we heard Gordon start talking. "As you may have heard the first years are going to do some special training and what might that be? You ask, well nothing other than secret until we leave campus." He said in a hurry "psst YuKame" i turned around when i saw Shari leaning forward "hey" I answered she then said "come to me after this thing while we're still here" i asked why. "Rave wants to ask you something very personal," she said with a very obvious wink. I looked over at Ron who didn't say a word "this guy sure is silent" Altair said  I agreed with him and thought to myself " why is he so quiet he doesn't look like the silent type, but he off topic right now the real question is what does Raven want to talk to me about? Why me of all people? Did she secretly see me in the training hall, " "hmm" I accidentally said aloud "what's wrong?" Shane asked and I shook my head.

After Meeting

After what felt like years of Gordon talking, he finally let us take a break for an hour until its time to leave. I decided to go meet Shari and figure out what Raven wanted to talk to me about. "Follow me," she said while grabbing my hand pulling me towards the stairs leading to the roof. When we got up I instantly felt a chill she must be up here w- "hey ZaSaki how you been?" I said nothing due to the fear her flaming red eyes paralyzing me not allowing me to move an inch. "So is this your skill paralyzation upon sight?" I asked. A grin slowly formed on her lips. "So I'm guessing I'm correct or somewhat close based on that face you are making" she chuckled and said, " you're right on the money you must be quite the perceptive one." I smiled and then decided to stop limiting my strength and started to walk forward my grin growing bigger while her smile is fading until I'm face to face with her. "How did you break my paralyzation?" "I will answer that but mine comes first," I said while thinking of ways to word my question. I looked over to see Shari with a look of amazement and wonder looking at me, probably wondering how I broke through Ravens skill, but I don't blame her though there's probably not that many people who can overpower Raven. "So why do you want to talk to me?" I asked while slowly trying to look away from her piercing gaze. Her expression changes from confidence to embarrassment and I could hear her curse herself before she starts to speak "well you know you look familiar and I want to ask where were you born?" "Well that was a letdown I thought she was gonna confess to you," altair said, and if he had a physical form out right now I'm pretty sure he would be smirking at me. "Well, it's a pretty long story so get comfy."

Time Skip

"So now that you had some rest before this lengthy mission or test if that's what you prefer to call it how about we get to briefing you on it, starting today you will be leaving the campus to hunt some junior bounties." He stopped talking to let us get our 'oohs' and 'ahhs' in before he started again " you can take as long as three months no more than that and if you don't catch the bounty you have then that means we are failing as instructors and I hope I don't have to experience admitting that at all." He said walking off before the Head Mistress came and asked: " Any questions if you have any don't hesitate to ask because now is the only time you have to ask us." She stood there waiting for a hand to raise when one didn't Gordon came back and said, "Board, the airship we are heading to the small town of Cecil." At the mention of that name, I felt my face turn pale and I thought why that place of all places.
