What would you die for?

Xin is looking over at Dante as the table has a lot more bodies today than it has ever had before. While most are from the art class many she doesn't know and it doesn't take long before she learns these ones are from the combat class. Looking to the Dante he smiles to her and nods as she smiles calming down.

Patricia comes up and smiles holding out a bento to Dante who blinks before he smiles and accepts it nodding. "Thank you very much, Patricia isn't it?" as she nods saying yes she turns and vanishes into the crowd as he blinks "Um, well guess joining us is out of the question."

Zezz sighs as she pushes on him. "What did you do to seduce all these hot ass girls you beast?" Dante blinks and smiles as he blushes slightly "Oh that isn't fair stop it right now!"

Xin is laughing as she is now trying to cover his face but her actions are just making it worse as now several are laughing at their antics before she pulls her girlfriend back. "Zezz love you are making it worse now calm down for me." as Zezz looks over she blushes as she nods lowering her head "Oh you are so damn cute stop it."

Dante is shaking his head as he smiles watching them before a set of hands covers his eyes. Before he can speak a voice calls out. "Guess who?"

Dante stiffens as everyone looks to them as Xin looks over seeing Linda covering his eyes. Dante lifts his hands and calmly lifts her hands up. "Hello, how are you?" everyone can tell his tone is neutral unlike the laughter and mirth earlier and now most know his thoughts easily "How is the Security Squad doing?"

Linda can see everyone looking to her and unlike her expected outcome he is being distant with her. "I didn't know it was a setup Dante otherwise I would have been on your side." several of those nearby are muttering about whose side she was beside as she looks at Dante ignoring them "Perhaps we can talk later if you have time?"

Onya smiles as she looks to her. "Dante has a standing open invitation for everyone from the Security Squad to come for a chat at the arena." everyone can see Linda shudder as by now his actions are well known to them from yesterday "From four to five daily chat opportunity."

Dante can't help but smile some to her as she seems to love watching him fight. Looking to Linda who looks lost and stuck at the same time he sighs some. "If you aren't willing to chat in the arena you can talk to me between classes but the first part of my day is busy with the art classes."

Linda can see how many of the girls and a few guys seem rather happy about that for some reason before she nods her head and steps away from him. "Well enjoy your meal and I will talk with you later."

Onya waves as she smiles. "Oh we will no worries there." Dante laughs some looking to her as she looks up and leans closer as he rubs her head "We are on your side Dante."

Dante smiles softly and looks to everyone and nods his head "Thank you all too honestly. I am glad to see not everyone here has a poisoned view of me from my past." as several voices speak up various things he nods and smiles "Still thank you nonetheless."

Carter looks up as Dante comes into his office and after a nod sits down. "So what do I owe the pleasure young man?"

Dante looks to him and after a moment nods and looks to him again. "Sir, can you teach me how to face the giant beasts?"

Carter looks to him for a few moments and nods slowly. "You are thinking of either a Patroller or a Hunter I guess." Dante nods as he thinks and sits back "Fighting like you do, you would be best avoiding the beasts as your strikes are too imprecise and while powerful it takes you time to ready the attack."

Dante nods his head and doesn't move otherwise. "I know my weaknesses but the thought of just being some rich person's pet makes me rather be a wild animal and free." Carter looks to him for several long moments "My being here plus what happened to both my friends I feel is the work of a rich family sir and I need to be stronger in order to protect what is important to me."

He nods as he sits forward and looks the young man in the eyes. "Dante, what is it you will die for?"

Without a moment of pause Dante responds. "Those are care for and love." as Carter nods to his rapid answer the more telling answer is in his eyes, Dante was being brutally honest "As it stands sir, I would let the world burn and guard only three people. Xin, Zezz, and Dal as those three have either been by my side or newly there by one means or another."

Carter sits back as he sighs and shakes his head. "If you had to leave one behind to save the others what would you do Dante?" he jerks his Dante says die as they leave and looks to his cold serious eyes "What in the hell happened to give you such a resolve?"

Dante only nods his head as he moves standing up. "If you're busy sir I understand. I was just asking but I must return to class." He bows before he turns and heads out as Carter is sitting there with a smile on his face.

Two days later the class hears about a week and assignment for those who are willing or low in score that are required to join in an excursion hunt. The target is an elder Carrion Boar which has been aggressive with the Patrollers but as they are not that strong it is valuable experience for the students. Dante is the first to speak up and his question makes several smile and nod. "Sir, when do we get to leave?"

Dante opens his door around four in the morning to a knock and looks to see Onya smiling with the cart behind her. "I brought you something to get you revved up for our outing today Dante." Dante smiles and steps aside that she comes in with her cart shaking his head "I wasn't sure so made a few different things."

Dante smiles nodding as he looks to Onya before down shaking his head. "Perhaps I should start sleeping with clothes on." she giggles and asks why as he looks over and shrugs "Guess no reason really just thinking people seeing me naked is becoming to the norm."

She looks to him and nods. "I don't see how that is a bad thing myself." Dante goes and picks up the free weights he was using "Oh you were not done yet?" as he shakes his head she smiles "They have warmers so it won't get cold Dante so take your time."

He is standing by the other seven going out willingly as he calls out nine who are required based on the score. Looking to everyone he nods. "Okay first thing first I will demonstrate how to sync up your battle suit." once he is done a few follow his example while Dante was informed how after the first day by Onya "Now while we are on mission, where them it isn't an option."

Dante equips his as his body is covered by a layer of black with crimson tribal markings down his body. Onya had a hand in the crimson markings as Dante was fine with it being black as long as it worked. However everyone in the room stops and looks at him as he also asked the art class and he looks more like a hybrid of a feline and a man with a tail which has some markings down it too.

He shrugs and smiles. "I asked some friends their input and this was the outcome." Onya is looking at him as she quickly puts her own on and while he is a hybrid beast she looks more like a tempting maid as now she is getting looks.

He is walking now and as they get near the outer wall everyone see how large and thick it is. Carter looks at everyone and nods his head. "Okay class I will say this now and you best listen." everyone looks to him as he slowly looks to everyone "Every time anyone goes outside of the walls they run the chance of death. We might be a class from a school but out there we don't have access to rapid medical rescue like inside of the city so be mindful of the surroundings and each other."

A few step closer to Dante and while he might not be that close to these ones he still feels protective as they are standing with him and several are here only because he is. Someone who will go outside the walls to stand by you as a friend is someone you stand by and return. He glances seeing two of the forced nine and smiles a little as he thinks he also has two baits if need be.

They are all suited up and walking now as Dante offered and is a wide scout. Dante's skills and the fact it shouldn't be too dangerous has Carter letting him take the risk. Lifting his wrist he checks the map and looks around. "Dante this is Carter how you found the target yet?"

Dante is looking at the view before him as he looks around. "Um sir, we might have a problem."

Carter looks around and motions everyone to stop and calls back. "What do you see out there?"

Dante smile some as he doesn't move. "Colossal Bear ate the Carrion Boar and sleeping now."
