I have been assigned to Claymore’s group and am now wearing a black and white get-up. The jacket and pants are a cream white, the boots and gloves are black and a mask that’s grey and looks like a mummy. Also I am assigned a name, Jasper. Currently there are ten of us and our names and colors correlate with gemstones, they are Slate, Jet, Lime, Azure Malachite, Tanzanite, Unakite, Heliodor and 2 senior henchmen Rhodonite and Star Garnet. We are gonna be working in two-man teams and my partner is Jet, who is 1 of 3 females on the team (Azure Malachite and Star Garnet). I was getting a tutorial by Jet, who is wearing a black jacket and pants with a pair of brown boots and leather gloves along with the black mummy like mask.

Jet “Our job is mainly to cause distractions and to take on the yellow defender.”

“I read that yellow is very fast, so how do we handle her?” I asked

“Her speed is only for short bursts and when she uses it she can’t change her direction making it pretty linear. So the general plan is to stay close and force her to run into a corner of sorts.”

“If that’s general plan, then what about her fighting ability, some countermeasures must have been made?”

“She’s average at fighting but the problem is that she tends to retreat to black, who is a gifted fighter and muttles our work with Tanzanite and Heliodor. So when we practice, they will be the main partners. Also our job is mainly to stall, not to win, most of the time we are tasked with either theft or destruction. We need to always be on alert for the signal to retreat.”

“Then what does Claymore do then?”

“He directs us from behind or is the one doing the thieving. The only time he will fight is when we need to win and the only one to see him fight among us is Rhodonite, who refuses to say anything about it.”

After the conversation, she showed me around the base and informed me that my first job will be next saturday. With all I’ve learned today, I’m actually optimistic about working here.
