Time had gone by fast for Ari, but it had seemed the same for Daizo and Anna as well. Over a course of several months, the three learned more and more about each other, and were slowly turning into the epitome of friendship. They ate lunch together, spent time together outside of school, everything normal friends would do, the three had done. Ari was glad that she had met her new friends on that cold day months ago. She was already alienated by the rest of the students, and they would beg before her for forgiveness (in Akihito's case) or they would only act as her friends due to the Katsuragi's wealthy status. Daizo and Anna were different from the rest of the students, and it was something Ari valued.

The day had gone by as usual, and it was the same as any other day except that the first years were ordered to arrive at the docks at exactly 13:00 hours. They were told to bring their weapons, and Ari brought her sword and her Minebea 9mm. She had to hand them over to the staff to make sure they were safe for the upcoming exam, and when Ari had received them back, the blade was dull on her sword and her pistol was given rubber bullets. The need for safety had made Ari wonder what the exam was over, yet her mind was puzzled. No student or staff member would speak of the exam, only that they were sworn to secrecy over the matter.

[color=#FFA500]"I wonder what special training would require such safety measures. Perhaps the academy plans to test our abilities after we've all studied for a year?"[/color] Ari replied as the group threw away their trash and made their way to the dockyards. [color=#FFA500]"Otherwise, I'm at a loss. I tried to ask some of our upperclassmen, but they wouldn't tell me anything. Did you manage to find anything out, An-chan?"[/color] She glanced at Anna, wondering if the operative had any knowledge of the adventure the three would soon partake in.
