"Head up! Shoulders back! Eyes forward!" The drill Sargent commanded towards the new recruits.
"Now, let's focus on the fighting techniques you learned last week." The drill Sargent said as she pulled two recruits out of line.

The two recruits bowed to each other before taking their stances. One of the recruits, a girl about 17 pressed her hands firmly together and a green aura was casted around her. The other recruit, a boy about 15 balanced on one leg and stood completely still as a brown aura emitted from him.

The girl started her attack, swinging with fast, hard hits. The boy swiftly dodged every attack and countered with his own as he did flips to avoid the barrage fists. The boy then raised his hands as a chunk of earth rose from the ground and levitated beside him. He thrust his hand forward sending the chunk towards the girl who quickly deflected the rock with a wall of vines.

"That looks tough." Lucien said to his boss, Sun Hiroshi

"You just need to put in the effort and it will eventually become easy." Sun replied.

"Do you think you can train me to be a warrior. You were one; weren't you? " Lucien asked as he and Sun returned to the smithy.

"Yes I was, a long time ago, but Lucien you're only 13. It takes years of training to be a decent warrior. Sun stated as he opened the wooden door of the smithy.

"Then train me now, we can work on it every day until you think I am ready." Lucien begged Sun as he ran in front of him to block his path.

"You're not ready for the immense amount of training that is required. You're already struggling in the smithy. Sun said as he went to the smelter.

"Now get me two bars of silver, two of gold, and one of bronze." Sun told Lucien as he put fresh coals onto the pit under the smelter. Sun then pressed his palms firmly together, twisting his hands and finally breaking the hold. A blazing red aura enclosed sun as he put his hands in front of him. Two jets of fire launched from the palms towards the coals, heating them up quickly that what a regular match would do.

Lucien grabbed the wheel barrow and went to where the metal was stored. He grabbed what he was told and went back to Sun.
