Chapter 9 - Partner

Today's Training will be a "Combat Observation Training, " Captain Williams said, dressed in his Tarkir Warfare uniform. He addresses the whole Class, who were standing in the Academy's Training Grounds, also dressed in the Tarkir Warfare uniforms.

"Combat Observation Training," Thane asked with a surprised expression. "Yes, Thane, Combat Observation Training, also known as the 'silent sweep" Captain Williams replied.

You all have the next five minutes to choose your partners he continued, pointing at them.

Hey Thane, you and I should be partners Calantha said, Yes, Thane nodded in agreement. " Sorry, Calantha, but you and Thane can't be partners. You both are from the same house. " " Sorry, Thane. No worries, Calantha. I have to find another partner, Thane replied.

Thane turned, then saw Malumbra, Hey Malumbra, let's be partners. He said, "Sorry Thane, but I already have a partner." Malumbra replied, What about you, Eldric? Sorry, I am already partnered with Colin, he said, Hey Thane, Colin.

I think I will ask Sophia, as he approached Sophia. Hey, Sophia. Let's be partners. Hey, clumsy face, she's already paired with me, Monica said. Sorry, Thane, Princess Sophia said.

Then he saw a random kid in his class. Hey there, how about you and I be partners? He asked, Who would want to be paired with a loser like you, who has no Spiritual Energy? The kid replied. No one wants to be paired with me because I have no Spiritual Energy, he said.

Meanwhile Kael was rejecting others, with the mindset of going alone, Seeing this Captain Williams walked up to him and said Hey kael you can't go alone you need a partner, I don't need a partner I walk alone Kael said, but if you don't get partner you won't be able to to participate in today's training Captain Williams said

Hearing this, Kael decided to find a partner. Before he knew it, a group of kids swarmed around him, asking him to be their partner. While all this was happening, Kael noticed Thane sitting alone without any partner. He then left the Group of kids who surrounded him.

Hey there, kid. Let's be partners, Kael said with his cold tone. " Huh, you want to be my partner, Thane asked as he tried to embrace Kael, who stopped him.

What does he even see in that boy, some random kids said to themselves.

Everyone with their partners, gathered Captain Williams addressed them, Some pairs were, Monica and Princess Sophia, Malumbra and Calantha, Colin and Eldric, Charles and Griselda, Klaus and Catherine,

Finally, Thane and Kael, the rest of the class members were also in pairs.

Each pair is to go into the Hidden Roots Arena, and report.

*Any unusual signs

*Position of the suspicious object

*Potential enemy placement

*Details of any items that change or were hidden

And you have the next three hours to report here Captain Williams said, as they all went into the Hidden Roots Arena.

As they entered the arena, each of the pairs took their different directions.

You don't need to do anything, I will do the observations myself, just follow me, Kael said with his Cold tone, Hey, I can do observations too, I will prove it to you Thane replied.

Hey Malumbra, come see what this is, " Calantha asked, " That's a tiger's footprint, "Malumbra answered. " Yes, a tiger. I think this will be our first report, Malumbra said as they both started writing it down.

Monica, I'm scared. Princess Sophia said, Don't be scared, I am here to protect you Monica said. Wait, she continued, that Leaf arrangement isn't natural, she said as she started writing.

I think I noticed something Eldric said as he and Colin were observing a Giant tree, Look colin I think it's a lion Eldric said pointing at three strips on the tree they were observing, That's a chimera's Colin said "chimera" Eldric asked, Yes a chimera footprint is 18-24 cm wide, Each print has four toes with curved claws longer than that of lions, So it's definitely a Chimera. Wow, Colin, you are amazing, Eldric said, To become a medical knight, you must study Nature and its Fundamentals Colin replied as he shifted his glasses to his face.

Hey am so tired Griselda Said, dragging her foot on the ground, Hey Charles haven't you found anything yet Griselda asked, I think I have found something, Charles said, let me see Griselda rushed there, look I think there were some people here Charles said, huh griselda interrupted, look smoke is still coming out of this woods Charles said, as he brought out his book and began to write.

I think they haven't gone far, Catherine said, as she and Klaus were observing a fire camp. If my Guess is right, they headed this way, Klaus said, pointing towards his left-hand side, as he and Catherine began writing.

Meanwhile, the rest of the students were also doing their observations in pairs.

Stop calling me that kael said as he and Thane were walking through the trees, Am not you friend he said, Then why did you pick me as your partner Thane asked, Kael gave Thane no response, see you can't say anything you Are my then Suddenly kael held his mouth telling him sheesh, I think I hear footsteps, he said as both of them started observing the Environment.

It's a Drone, he said as he brought out his book and began to write.

It's almost time Captain Williams said, as he was eager to get the Results of the Training.

Meanwhile, Thane kept disturbing Kael with his noise, Wait, Kael said as both of them stopped. It sounds like someone is coming, Kael said within himself. They are more than one, he continued. Hey, Kael, what is it? Thane asked.

Then suddenly a group of Ninjas surrounded them, "The Night Raiders Kael said" It's you guys again Thane said, You know them, Kael asked

They attacked me the other night.

Hey you, the kid with red hair, we are not here for you, you should leave now, our business is with him.

One of the Ninja said.

The Night Raiders are after him. Who exactly is this kid? Kael said within himself.

This is your last chance, one of the Ninjas said to Kael.

Sorry I can't let you hurt this kid, His partner Kael said, Hearing this Thane's expression grew with joy
