19th day of 8th month year 10437.

In a bedroom, a man with ashen-blond hair was sitting on a chair, while cleaning his sword with a black blade. The bedrooms only light source was the moon, that shined through the window, dimly lighting the room.

As for the man, he could see perfectly in the dark and so, he wasn't bothered by the lack of light.

After cleaning the blade, he sheaths and says"You're back Nox."

"Yes my love."she replies and sits onto his lap. She kisses him and then looks at the giant bed, behind him. She sees a dozen beautiful woman lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully.

"You have another lover?"she asks him and he replies"Yep. She's a succubus and her name is Lyza. Get along with her."

"Thats obvious."she continues"But I didn't come here to see my new sister. I came here with news."

"Tell me."he tells her.

"Sola has sent another servant after you."Nox tells him.

"So. I'll kill him, like I killed the other twenty."he tells her, while rubbing her back.

"I don't think it will so easy this time."Nox gives him her opinion.

"Why's that?"he asks curiously.

"Because he is your friend."Nox tells him.

Echos face turns serious and he replies"My only friend died almost ninety years ago."

"Well it seems that he has reincarnated and is forced to kill you."she tells him

"We'll see about that."he says and gets up, while Nox disappears and appears on the other chair. After Echos change, he feels even less emotions now and only cares about his women and no one else. And because of that, he seemed pretty calm, even though he just learned that his friend is alive.

"Will you kill your friend?"She asks him and he replies"If it is the only way, then yes." He doesn't want to, but he will, If Alexander were to seriously try to kill him. He hopes that it won't come to this.

He sighs and puts the sword onto his belt. He then puts the other weapons on him too. While he is getting ready, Nox asks"Where are you going?"

"Located another weapon. Going after that."he replies to her and kisses her cheek.

"Bye Nox."

"Bye Echo."

In Nevada's bedroom, Nevada wakes up early in the morning. After opening his eyes, he gets out of the bed and puts on his training clothes. He looks at himself in the mirror and sees the same mark of Sola, that he hates so much. As for his body, he was 155cm tall. He looked about 13 years old, even though he is eleven. And it's all thanks to the beastkin puberty.

As for its face, it probably be a handsome one in the future, when he gets rid of the damn mark on his face. He touches the mark, before leaving his room, to train.

He walks down the stairs and goes to the archery range to shoot with a bow. So when he gets to the training ground, he walks over to the archery range and takes one of recurve bows there and a quiver full of arrows.

He draws the bow string with the arrow on it and aims at the target thirty meters away from him. He breaths in and lets go of the string, which launches the arrow into the air. The arrow flies through the air and hits the second inner circle.

He then draws and shoots another arrow and so on and on, until the quiver is empty and the target is decorated by the arrows. Out of the twenty arrows, only two hit the bullseye.

"Better then yesterday."Nevada tells himself, as he walks over to the target, to collect the arrows. He starts to pull out the arrows carefully, so he won't damage them.

So once the final arrow is collected, he walks back with the seventeen good arrows. The other three broke.

He gets back to the shooting spot and when is about to draw the arrow, he hears the annoying voice on his right.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the cursed little shit."Is said by Kevin, who has his usual group behind him.

'Wow. That was one the most cliché bully line there is.'Nevada thinks, after hearing Kevin.

"What do you want?"Nevada asks with an annoyed voice and then shot the arrow at the target. He didn't even bother to look at him.

"Is that how do you speak to ones, who are superior to you?!"Kevin says in a loud voice.

"You're a trainee too, so you are at the same rank as me."Nevada replies in a calm voice 'Also... Kevin and his friends are a weird bunch. Like I only hear Kevin speaking, while the other four are completely useless and just stand there. So cliché bullies.'

"Not after tomorrow. I have my trial then and become a member after I complete it."Kevin says in a proud voice.

"Sure.."Nevada says sarcastically."You only have to finish the trial, that has a 25% mortality rate. So lets hope you are part of the 25%."

"You fucking little shit."Kevin says and starts walking towards Nevada, only to fall onto the ground immediately after, with an arrow sticking out of his knee.

"Oops. My fingers slipped."Nevada says, while holding the bow in his hand.

"Uuu you motherfucker."Kevin groans out, as he holds his knee, which hurts like a bitch.

As for his friends, they are staring at Kevin with stupid face.

"What are you staring....Go get him."Kevin orders them, who then look at Nevada and see him holding his bow, with two arrows draw on the string.

"Fuck off or you end like him."Nevada threatens the group, who look at Nevada and then Kevin, who yells at them"What are you waiting for. Beat the bastard."

"Oh fuck this."Serya, the dark-elf says and runs away, with the other three soon following.

"You fucking pussies."Kevin yells after them.

Now only Nevada and Kevin were st the training grounds, because this place is almost always empty at this time of day. Nevada looks at Kevin and an evil smiles forms on his face.

In the other part of the citadel, Anna and Maria are walking together and talking for the first time in years. Even though they live at the same place, they rarely run into each other and when they do, they usually pass each other without a word.

"So Maria. How is your teaching progressing?"Anna asks her and he replies"I finished it a year ago. I have nothing else to teach him. So currently he is learning whatever he wants by himself and later shows it to me. Same is for your sister. She finished her teaching two-three years ago."

"That I know."Anna replies to the last answer.

"Maria. Have you th-."

Her sentence is cut off with a loud bang, that could be heard Inside If the citadel

Marias ears twitch a little, before she says"The training grounds."

They jog there and see two boys there. One on the ground and shaking, the other is standing over him, with his right arm next to the boys head.

"Dammit Nevada."Maria mutters and walks over the scene.

"Kevin."Anna mutters and runs there too.

Once the two woman get there, they see Kevin on the ground, with an arrow sticking out of his knee and shaking, while looking at the arm of Nevada, that was next to him.

"Nevada."Maria yells to him, who turns his head to look at her. He sighs and pulls his hand out of the ground, revealing long sharp nails on his fingers. It almost looks like he has claws. He looks at Maria nad retracts his nails to a normal size and says"He started it."

An hour later, Nevada was sitting in the Masters office, with Alice sitting next to her. Veronica wasn't here, because she was on a mission.

Alice herself looked obviously pretty and and was staring at Nevada, who didn't seem to care at all about his current situation. He was just calmly sitting on the couch.

After a while, Anna entered the office and immediately looked at Alice.

"Leave Alice. We need to talk privately."Anna told Alice, who immediately got up and left the office. Alice knew that Annas word was absolute and she almost never changes her thought, once she has said something. So there wasn't really no point of trying to start arguing If she could stay.

Anna herself sat down onto her chair and looked at Nevada, who was looking back at her.

"So tell...Why did you attack Kevin?!"She ordered him to talk and so he did"Because he was bullying me for the past few years. Most of the times, somebody interfered, before any harm could be done. So today, no body interfered and so I decided to teach him a lesson."

"And what lesson would that be?"she asked him.

"Lesson about who not to fuck with and what happens if you do. And seeing his reaction, while he was trembling on the ground out of the fear, was.... Satisfying."

'What the hell is wrong with this brat.'Anna thought, after hearing him.

"Okay. Let me get this right. You shot an arrow into his knee and then punched the ground next to his face."

"Actually I thrusted my hand. My hand was completely straight and not in a fist. But basically yes."Nevada corrects her.

"Not important right now."she continues"So can you say, where his usual four friends were during that?"

"They ran away, after I shot Kevin into the knee and was threatening them."Nevada answers.

"I see."Anna replies and starts to think.'I can't really punish him, as he hasn't done anything wrong. Kevin started it, so Nevadas actions could be considered extremely self defensive. But he probably taught my idiot son a lesson, which he won't ever forget....But I can't just let him go unpunished too. It would seem I was too soft on him.'

"I have made my decision. You will clean and repair the training ground, which you destroyed."Anna tells him.

"Reasonable."Nevada replies and gets up. He touches the door knob, but before he turns it, he says"Anna....I will say it now. Kevin and his friends aren't ready to take the test. Kevin almost pissed his pants from fear and his friends abandoned him too easily. All of the five are cowards and not ready to become members. But that's just my thought."

He turns the know and leaves the room, leaving Anna behind.

"Smartass."Anna mutters, as he looks at the door.

As for Nevada, he is walking together with Alice, who asks him"So what did big sister do to you?"

"Nothing much. I just have to fix the damage I did."Nevada replies to Alice.

"Well...good luck with that Little Fox."
