Training is in Session
(Back to Monster Island, Joss stares at Isabella, she stares at him and Bahamut slowly keeps eating the pillow. He let Bahamut fall and he scraps one of his fingers in the process. The little creature licks the blood while Isabella keeps looking at both.)
Joss: Isabella...do not scream...enter the house and close the door.
(She does as she is told while keeping her eyes fixated on the wyvern.)
Joss: Breath. Take it easy, he will not harm you.
Isabella: How did--- When did you--- What in blazes is a Rhanioid doing in your house?!
Joss: SHHHHH!!!
(He looks through one of the windows and comes back.)
Joss: You know...When you found me?
Isabella: Yes.
(The baby Rhanioid begins to chew some plants and the carpet.)
Joss: The strange thing I was carrying?
Isabella: The rock
Joss: Yes! The rock.
(He points at the Rhanioid.)
Isabella: WHAT THE?!
Joss: Yes. And I think Arya knew.
Isabella: What?! Ohhh when she comes back...
Joss: The thing is, I don't know what to do with him. I can't release in the wild. He may die. But if I keep it, other hunters may find out and kill him.
(Isabella closes her eyes and thinks for a moment.)
Isabella: Is it dangerous?
Joss: All he does is chew all he finds. And maybe destroy some of Bulwarks things...But mostly chew pillows and stuff.
Isabella: He did what?!
Joss: I will pay him! I swear!
(Her face is full of anger. The little fella runs to where Isabella is and tilts his head. She steps back in fear but looks at it with curiosity. The animal let out a cute roar and her eyes glitter.)
Isabella: He is ADORABLE!!!!
(She picks him up. The baby begins to enjoy the time with her, then begins to chew her head.)
Isabella: A little destructive, but adorable.
Joss: He is called Bahamut.
Isabella: Bahamut? That name is weird.
Joss: Yeah, it's from Earth.
Isabella: Earth? Like the ground?
(Joss begins to think to himself.)
Joss (mind): How did I knew that...?
Joss: Anyway, I think I will keep it.
Isabella: Well, I came here to tell you that the GM lent you this house. There aren't any nearby houses so maybe no other hunter may notice him. And it's near the jungle. The problem is: How we will hide it if it keeps getting bigger?
Joss: I was thinking the same.
Isabella: Maybe we should wait until the GM comes back and ask her for help. Meanwhile, you will care for all its needs.
Joss: I figured.
(He crosses his arms. She puts Bahamut on the floor and the wyvern quickly runs around the house.)
Joss: Isabella...Do you know who Amelia is?
Isabella: Amelia?
Joss: Is this girl I keep remembering for some reason. Oh, and another thing named Lacie.
Isabella: It seems your memory is coming back. As for both girls, there isn't someone named like that in Ardmery. We could ask the GM when she comes back.
Joss: Yes.
(There is an awkward mood between the both of them.)
Joss: Isabella.
Isabella: Y-yes??
Joss: Could you...
(He walks towards her.)
Joss: Could you teach me...
(Her face gets red.)
Isabella: Yes???
Joss: Could you teach me the thing Arya did with the greatsword?
Isabella: Eh...?
Joss: You know, all the good attacks.
(She let out a sigh)
Isabella: That is called Hunter Arts. They are very, very difficult to master and each weapon has its own. For instance, what Arya used in her battle, the first technique is called Lion's Maw, and the second: Brimstone Slash.
Joss: I want to learn everything!
Isabella: They take a huge toll on the hunter. That is why not everyone can use it. In this village, only Arya and I are capable of doing it, but we train almost every day to be in shape. If you want to master it, you must devote yourself to it.
Joss: I will!
Isabella: Then, let us start right away.
Joss: Now?
Isabella: Yes. We will begin with the greatsword, then longsword and dual blades. First, you need to do 100 pushups, syrups and run 10 miles.
Joss: Is that it?
Isabella: That is just the warmup.
(She grins.)
Isabella: Let's begin.
(And so, Joss hellish training starts.)
