Nepthys took her blade out as swiftly as she sheathed it and then pointed at each member of her team individually.

“We were uncoordinated.” Pointing at Kyron.

“We lacked focus and more importantly discipline with our powers.” She pointed at Tyron.

“We didn’t stay together and cowered in front of the enemy.” She pointed at Ciara.

“And worst of all, we lost our first team battle.”

Nepthys was not happy with her team one bit, the moment they were attacked they were discombobulated in seconds. As their leader she couldn’t just let this sit idly by and let this happen in any regard, the issue with this lot is they are too laid back, too reclusive, and discoordinated. From what she knew about this they’ll be out here for a while. Three days to be exact, it’ll help her get through all the things she needs them to do in order to better their teamwork. First-

“You’re one to talk.”

“Excuse me?” Her thoughts were interrupted looking towards the one who opened their mouth, Tyron sat there looking at her with a glare before snapping his fingers and tossing the flame into the fire looking at her.

“You didn’t do much in that fight at all, you ran around fighting basically like a headless chicken when we were all using our arks to try and give ourselves an advantage. You weren’t anywhere till the end of the battle, so what exactly did you do for us? Do you even have an ark?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXOzyJo2i
“Since we’re throwing things around allow me to start off for you, I didn’t use my ark because my ark shuts down other people’s arks. Now you’re going to whine about why I didn’t use it to stop them huh? Well I can’t just select who’s ark goes off and who’s ark stays on. From the way you all showed, the only fighters on our team are Me and Kimiko. You and Kyron are heavily reliant on your arks to work your skills properly. However, the biggest issue on our team is you Tyron.”

The silence that ensued was deafening, something they didn’t expect their leader to say but was indeed said.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3QotB4PuQ
“Alright Nepthys don’t y’all think yer goin’ a bit too far?” Kimiko tried to break it up but Tyron raised his hand and a swarm of flames rose a bit.

“And just like that my point is proven, a hot headed hot shot. Can’t just take outside criticism without it kicking him in his pride. Though I’m not going to just rule out that you’re having a internal battle with yourself, that exact issue is what makes you such a problem. So we’re all going to go through each other one by one and just learn a bit more of each other. We’re going to be working together in life or death situations.”

“So who’s first?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gWBH8WRQv
“As the leader I’ll go first, my full name is Nepthys Bast. I come from a financially higher family than most people, nothing too rich but we did more than well for ourselves. My ark is called Shut Down, it’s a simple ark. Whoever I look at loses their Ark abilities immediately with the exception of a few mutant qualities such as fangs, tails, claws, fur stuff like that. Anyone I’ve affected loses their abilities for an extra fifteen seconds after I look away from them. My mother and father spent a lot of money to teach me how to wield the blade and thus I wield it well. I’ve also been taught various strategic moves and tactics allowing me to adapt to many situations, only thanks to my family am I able to make such use of my Ark despite its non flashy nature. Which is why I am the leader. Next?”

“I guess I’ll go after, my name is Ciara Reynolds. I come from a very religious family known for our special ark ability called Ancestral-Line…” Clasping her hands together Ciara knelt down and began to take a deep breath, she began to mumble for a moment and then a rush of wind took the flames out of the fire and they saw a bunch of spirits around Ciara kneeling around her and placing their hands on her bowing their heads. Hearing her sniffle and soon the spirits vanished and she wiped her eyes sitting beside Tyron again. Snapping his fingers Tyron tossed the flames onto the sparks bringing the fire back to life.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvv4yF4vV1

“This ark uses the souls of my deceased ancestors, currently I’m able to control all four elements in the world. From earth to fire, fire to water, and water to air. Thankfully I can occasionally call upon them to save my allies as I’d shown earlier with that armor I used to defend you Ms. Bast. Next?”

“Kimiko Kitsune-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Dndsp6GQ
“Wait but it was spelt Kinsune back at the dorms.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6THDlIr61
“UGH! Folks always misspell it for the funny not funny nonsense.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQoXo1N3Ik
“You sure you didn’t misspell it when you typed it?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCVxzXm3Af
“... Oh snap I might have. Anyways! I’m from a long line o kitsunes, we’re sort of just what you’d think. A big family o folks from far an wide all bought togetha with our looks and similar arks. I have a wide range of abilities from being well fox like to havin’ a nice fiery surprise for anyone who thinks they're gonna put their hands on me or ma team.”

“You from the countryside?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakTZ1NGSDi
“Yeah. Accent ain’t neva leaving me, comes out often when I’m happy.”

“Neat neat, Kyron Namakazo-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS3C6N59au
“HA! Aaah, still funny.”

“I ain’t got much off on me, just a kid from the nearby city that’s come to the academy just to show off my skills and make something of myself. Basic all around, that’s really it for me. No special past, money, religion, just a dude. Tyron?”

“....Tyron Taiyōji, I’m from a clan like Kimiko. A group of fire users but I guess I’m sort of the odd one out now, my flames are a part of my family and they're called Scorched Earth… Fitting since they killed my family. I-” Looking over Tyron would see Nepthys stopping him, she put a hand to his eyes. Tyron reached up and rubbed the tears from his face as he evaporated them.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hRRs6lVrr

“If you want to, part of being a leader is knowing when is too far. I don’t want you pushing on memories you don’t feel comfortable exploring. Instead of dwelling on that darkness lets just hear about how good your folks were, their names, and honor them.”

Tyron would look at Nepthys and shrug as he began to tell stories about his Mother and his Father, his birthday parties, his happiness, and soon to his current.

“Now I live with the Toshibura family with my friend and adoptive brother Luka, his sister trained us to fight and utilize our abilities in basic standards of survival. Now we’re here to learn more, I didn’t wanna be here but I couldn’t leave him alone.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3lcTj7D4f
“Toast to chivalry.” Kyron said, taking a sip of his water while eating a banana.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrGBw6kcEU
“Mhm. Anyway that’s about it, rich family, didn’t want for much but Luka. He wanted more, he wanted to make his family proud with his ark. Similar to you Nepthys. No flashy ark but he’s doing his best, even if his family basically abandoned him to it for his sister.”

“Geez sadness runs in y’all life huh? Well tomorrow is the start o happiness, we’re gonna kick those guys butts, win, and run this trainin’ session like the pros we’re bound to be!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEsOVFC29D
“HOORAH!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPerBWgFmE
Kyron cheered with Kimiko, Nepthys rolled her eyes and then began to count down from three and with another cheer as a collective the team cheered and continued to chat with one another once more. Learning, preparing, and strategizing for the coming day.
