The previous night...

Kurenai wasn't impressed with how fast things went down to hell. It was a natural reaction, to say the truth. More interesting were those who kept the heads in place, like the two girls that came to talk to her. Perhaps in an enclosed space, her hood called a bit more attention than she would like, but under the light of the crimson moon, the red cloth made for an effective camouflage that had saved Kurenai many times before.

"Thank you", Kurenai replied to the ox demon's offer of food by extending her artificial arm and then taking a bite at whatever treat she was given. If there was one thing a traveler learned, was to never ignore hospitality without good reason, as long as it wasn't too suspicious, doing so was a serious mistake that led many to death, Crowley once said. Then again, being too trusting killed about as many, if not more persons. Life was a seriously screwed thing where you can bite the dust at any moment, only experience and training could save one from such a demise.

"I'm Kurenai, a wanderer. What about you?" Kurenai addressed both Juniper and Gyuuki, moving her cloak aside to let them take a peek at her swords while still keeping the hidden from the people further away.

02:00 AM

At precisely the appointed time, the guards opened the gates and told the students that they had to walk to the ruins of an abandoned city that laid a good hour of walk away from the academy.

Kurenai was one of the first to get to her feet, since she barely slept at all during the night, like any smart wanderer she only took light naps, leaving the better part of her sleep for the day. She shook the girls next to her awake (in case they were still sleeping), draped her cloak around herself and walked into the sea of red light, only ever sparing a glance backwards to see if the other girls were following her.

Maybe, who knows, they could form a team? That is, as long as the tests doesn't involve duels. In which case Kurenai would spare them no mercy, even if they were would be friends.
