Abby's hands were shaking as she handed the letter Cyril obviously read a thousand times, horrified by both its contents and the way it was written. However, the cause of her terror were Hajime's words. What was the Tenth Boss [i]thinking[/i]? They were just a group of teenagers and barely any of them actually knew some sort of self defense. Now he was commanding them to save Cyril's aunt from some crazed lunatic? Sonya had described the mysterious man as kind-hearted and a great leader, but all Abby could imagine him now was insane. 

Sonya, on the other hand, had pursed her lips into a tight, thin line. Anger was building up inside her, not just because someone had dared to drag a civilian into mafia business, but that she was denied to directly aid her students. Sitting on the sidelines was something Sonya Dmitriev was not used to whatsoever. As a former mercenary and hitwoman, she was used to being the first one on the battlefield. That way of thinking was difficult to change, especially since her recent career change was still fresh on her mind. Yet, these were the Tenth's orders. If he wanted her to train those kids, she was going to train the hell out of them.

All thoughts were cut short when Hajime revealed an image of the kidnapper via hologram. To say the room was shocked was definitely an understatement as it took a few seconds for everyone to register the familiar face.

It was Abby who broke the silence as she jumped out of her seat and slammed her hands on the wooden dining table. "That's the nerd guy from the other day!" She screamed. Sonya's rage flared up even more as she stared at the cocky expression of Vincente Cleto. She knew he looked familiar when she first laid eyes on him. Yet she decided to ignore her gut feeling and allow him to socialize with the 11th Vongola candidates. As the room filled with panicked chatter, the red-head stood up, her domineering presence silencing the room in an instant.

"We have one week." She began, "One week until this idiot becomes too restless and decides to do something rash. During this week, I will train all of you to your very limits. Even if one of you breaks, I will not stop your training. If any of you are having second thoughts, get out. Leave this Familigia and we will never contact you ever again. We do not have time for hesitation."

Sonya's words hung heavy in the air as she allowed them to sink in to each and every candidate. Finally, after a long minute, she gave one final question.

"So, is anyone leaving?"
