[img]https://i.imgur.com/g4w8c4q.png[/img] Veria: Nobody asked you, Neandertal girl...Say Professor...you're her father right? Why don't you try calming her down a bit? I'll be more at home to speak if that happens. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vakbpjy.png[/img] Larissa: There's no need...I was done with this pathetic excuse for a human being anyway. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vx96PRs.png[/img] Makis: Larissa...Take it easy with the insults. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Hp76S1J.png[/img] Larissa: Bye... She left the room. Veria let a sigh of relief escape. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MzqkaSk.png[/img] Veria: What with this girl anyway? She really doesn't mince her words... [img]https://i.imgur.com/WUzDTJp.png[/img] Makis: That aside...How about answering our questions now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/LOgQdRG.png[/img] Veria: (Ignoring me huh?) Fine...You see, as Gelato said, we don't know what is happening most of the time with our superiors. We all stay in a separate building where we hone our powers. That's where also where the Glaive Soldiers stay to get more used to their new "toys." Most of the Compact Glaive related stuff happens at the main building. Don't ask me where it is because I don't know. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KLDCvao.png[/img] Makis: What about the building I used to work? [img]https://i.imgur.com/JN97XSm.png[/img] Veria: I heard it was sold. It wasn't well structured for what they were about to do. [img]https://i.imgur.com/aiL07bs.png[/img] Makis: (I'm going to miss that place...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/LOgQdRG.png[/img] Veria: Say... [img]https://i.imgur.com/fDF3KSi.png[/img] Makis: What is it? [img]https://i.imgur.com/mXhfFM5.png[/img] Veria: About the soldiers I talked about...I'm not really sure where they come from. I could remember if I saw their faces before. [img]https://i.imgur.com/B9Dk0A1.png[/img] Makis: Excuse me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/g4w8c4q.png[/img] Veria: I was told that the Compact Glaive Devices are too risky too use normally, so it's usually tested on people who already had some kind of physical trainning. [img]https://i.imgur.com/gW41gD6.png[/img] Makis: This means...someone is supplying the organization with troops... [img]https://i.imgur.com/LOgQdRG.png[/img] Veria: I guess? It's probably what you're thinking. [img]https://i.imgur.com/i9UHgjP.png[/img] Makis: Yeah...Oh, that's right, did someone from the goverment ever made any kind of deal with your group? For example, the police making your jobs easier? [img]https://i.imgur.com/MzqkaSk.png[/img] Veria: They are doing what now? I mean, we've been doing our thing without much opposition...isn't that because the newer generation of ancestor mages is still being formed? [img]https://i.imgur.com/WUzDTJp.png[/img] Makis: Nevermind...forget I asked that... [img]https://i.imgur.com/JN97XSm.png[/img] Veria: Is that all? [img]https://i.imgur.com/KLDCvao.png[/img] Makis: I guess...Do you have any questions left Mr. Rune?

I wonder if the bus got late. [img]https://i.imgur.com/xQP3d2F.png[/img] Nanase: Could be...that does happen once in a while. [img]https://i.imgur.com/drcMOOc.png[/img] Geeves: I'll be heading inside if you guys don't mind. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xb3rFz8.png[/img] Andorina: You aren't going to wait GV? [img]https://i.imgur.com/nZ3ZnAm.png[/img] Geeves: Maybe another time. Later! [img]https://i.imgur.com/KPF5rSQ.png[/img] Nanase: Hmmm... [img]https://i.imgur.com/evQ5oMy.png[/img] Andorina: What's the matter? [img]https://i.imgur.com/fdiOKqc.png[/img] Nanase: Well, I always noticed that GV doesn't try to stand out from the rest. While he never refuses an offer for friendship, at the same time, he would always be the one that didn't speak as much. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QaDbGZO.png[/img] Andorina: Really? [img]https://i.imgur.com/zksOR5E.png[/img] Nanase: I never really asked him about this. We always talked like normal so it's not like this matters, right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/6iQUPqy.png[/img] Andorina: Maybe...I'm not sure what to say. [img]https://i.imgur.com/W81pGEK.png[/img] Nanase: (Would be nice if he just made his mind...Are you going to be distant or not GV?) [i][u]Spring Zone - Streets[/u][/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/aLMPcQs.png[/img] Reeta: That's right...No mean glares. Let's all get along now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vAM9LM7.png[/img] Reeta: (Is what I keep saying...but Maki has been always like this despite we all living under the same roof...I want to confront her on her behavior...but I'm afraid of what I'm going to hear.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/h3y1t2w.png[/img] Reeta: (Maybe I could ask Auror what is happening...But then again, his answer might be just a scary...Maybe I'm not the right person that should tackle this...I just want everyone to get along...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/QUnQY61.png[/img] Reeta: Anyway...Let's respect Maki's wishes for now...She probably had a bad morning. I mean, I almost overslept for some reason...ahahahaha...

[img]https://i.imgur.com/UpenOCu.png[/img] Tiane: Man...This place sure brings me memories. I would sometimes incercept you as you came back from school...and would soundly beat me everytime. [img]https://i.imgur.com/q5LUy9r.png[/img] Rayla: I remember being astonished when I found out you were one of the kids of the orphanage. That's when I met Lady Amara for the first time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sbuQd0U.png[/img] Tiane: I'm sure she talked a lot about me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vbCnS1p.png[/img] Rayla: That she did. After that, I decided to once in a while, drag you straight to the orphanage. [img]https://i.imgur.com/d4dDlxG.png[/img] Tiane: Sigh...Fun times... [img]https://i.imgur.com/4E1lvOn.png[/img] Rayla: Hmmm...She isn't here yet... [img]https://i.imgur.com/vRoP2un.png[/img] Tiane: She? Suddenly, a car parked near them. [img]https://i.imgur.com/f1SDCrl.png[/img] Rayla: Ah, there she is. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ecgKDfy.png[/img] Woman: Hey there Rayla! Have you been waiting much? [img]https://i.imgur.com/BWTWkpf.png[/img] Rayla: We just got here as well. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RjIjnxq.png[/img] Tiane: You're... Tiane knew her name and her face thanks to the glaive's database. She was Kalina Maxy Black, an Ancestor Mage just like Rayla. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vP9Ncnw.png[/img] Kalina: You brought a friend as well. May I know the sweetie's name? [img]https://i.imgur.com/p001pp8.png[/img] Tiane: S-Sweetie? [img]https://i.imgur.com/D0osjLV.png[/img] Rayla: She's Tatianna. Tiane for short. She'll be living with me right from now on. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JSgjuBb.png[/img] Kalina: So this is the famous Tiane huh? Nice to meet you, I'm Kalina, but you may call me Auntie Kali. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KLCj2EX.png[/img] Rayla: Kali Yuta might have a word with you. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wH0yx1B.png[/img] Kalina: Oh really? Then just Auntie K is fine. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8sZQX0B.png[/img] Tiane: This is fun and all, but we need to go to school. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vP9Ncnw.png[/img] Kalina: That's right, here. She hands over a set of keys to Rayla. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZmVwO9X.png[/img] Rayla: Been a while... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ecgKDfy.png[/img] Kalina: I've made sure to come here once in a while with Erina to clean up the place. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LeC1iGW.png[/img] Rayla: Eh? You didn't had to. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wH0yx1B.png[/img] Kalina: It's your fault for not putting up to sale. You know we couldn't exactly leave the legacy of their long gone friends to gather dust now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LYcHSGw.png[/img] Rayla: Can't argue with that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vP9Ncnw.png[/img] Kalina: Now go get changed, I'll be waiting here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vbCnS1p.png[/img] Rayla: Right...thanks. Rayla got inside with Tiane, leaving their bags at the living room for now. Then, she switched to her student uniform before leaving. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ecgKDfy.png[/img] Kalina: I'm surprised you didn't want to stay longer. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NtHbYX8.png[/img] Rayla: I was considering it, but it has been two years, I can wait longer. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JSgjuBb.png[/img] Kalina: Well said! Now get on aboard. [img]https://i.imgur.com/oAYAwoh.png[/img] Tiane: (At least it isn't a limo this time, I won't feel as overwhelmed.) The three got on the car. Kalina started to take them to the school as fast as she could. [i][u]Yurei Seimei Mansion - Entrance to the Sacred Grounds[/u][/i] **No music playing here** [img]https://i.imgur.com/VXwyd1A.png[/img] Ted: This is as far as we go. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MatJoZL.png[/img] Kaori: Urgh...My head feels heavier than before... [img]https://i.imgur.com/jppfUO8.png[/img] Ted: That's because we are at the frontier of spirits. From here on, only members of the main family can enter. [img]https://i.imgur.com/I4rYgQb.png[/img] Kaori: So this is where your cousin is trainning at the moment. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Nsguj9B.png[/img] Ted: That's right. I'm sure Himika knew they would follow us all the way here. As Ted said that, two Elite Glaive soldiers showed up. One of the guards tried to attack them, but he was stabbed by the soldier. [img]https://i.imgur.com/o5pfRYM.png[/img] Kaori: !!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/joIM2MR.png[/img] Ted: ... Guard: Argh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Glaive Soldier 1: W-What? Did I hit something? [img]https://i.imgur.com/2hYI4DJ.png[/img] Ted: (May your soul rest in peace.) The guard fell on the ground, dead. Kaori was struggling to hold back the tears. It was her first time seeing death after all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Glaive Soldier 2: T-There she is. Beginning... [img]https://i.imgur.com/OTXE1kZ.png[/img] Ted: Give up. You can't fight in your condition... He approached the guards and politely bowed to them. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7qg6nEE.png[/img] Ted: Please...if you keep going, I'm afraid that I might fight you two with all of my strenght. So I beg of you, leave this place right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Glaive Soldier 1: No way we're going to lose to a member of the branching family. Your sealing skills won't be of use if we're fully armored. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ltZbbwY.png[/img] Ted: Does this means you won't stop...is that what I'm hearing? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Glaive Soldier 2: Affirmative...if you value your life, handle the girl to us. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rl62MkX.png[/img] Ted: She's not going anywhere...I won't let her see anything like this ever again...This will be the last one. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vkXthwy.png[/img] Kaori: Ted... Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OuIb2hEUmE]Earth & Sea[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/GJdn8Aa.png[/img] Theo: My name is Theodore Lander Patra!!! The last member of the Lander Patra Ancestor Family. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Glaive Soldier 2: A-Am I hearing this right? As an answer to his question, Theo hit his foot on the ground, erupting three spikes that pinned the glaive soldier in place. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Glaive Soldier 1: It's real... [img]https://i.imgur.com/oaDEhag.png[/img] Kaori: Ah... [img]https://i.imgur.com/7qg6nEE.png[/img] Theo: You must know what this means since it's in your database Kaori...The people who killed my family...Will most likely come after me now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wJHrfzm.png[/img] Kaori: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ltZbbwY.png[/img] Theo: Now then...Since you still refuse to go away, I'll get rid of you myself. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Glaive Soldier 1: We'll see about that. Your tricks aren't going to work on me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Wiv0S5Z.png[/img] Theo: I know. But a certain someone taught me that you need to have many more moves planned ahead. Theo took a stance, then ran towards the Glaive Soldier. There was enough space for him to fly around, however, even if he knew about Theo's earth attacks, the influence of the spirits in his mind made his body hard to move, which allowed Theo to hit attacks that wouldn't hit in normal circusntances. [i][u]Yurei Seimei Mansion - Meditation Room[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuWq4rbFy4k]The Legend of Tenma Tarou[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/9gzBsfU.png[/img] "The spirits...are mourning someone's passing...A life...has been extinguished today...But not naturaly...It was taken...I don't like this sadness...I can feel the spirits crying...Screaming the identity of the culprit in my mind...He deserves punishment...for this heinous crime. Anyone who makes the spirits suffer, shall pay the price" The lone girl then, got up from her meditation spot, walking towards the exit with a blank expression. She was going to see the sun again after many years of isolation...but not for the reasons she expected.
