A few hours after Mizuki had left for his training course, Thalion finally did get up though it was hardly what he wanted to do. Him mind had refused him a restful sleep the previous night. Though that would have to be a after thought, he had to train the damned recruits no matter his condition. Though the idea of sleeping in long was more then tempting.

After a few moments forcing the sleep from his eyes he groaned a little before forcing himself out of bed. Moving about the room to start working on getting ready, he wasn't sure he enjoyed this. He had gotten use to Mizuki's crack of dawn wake ups that it felt almost wrong to be just now getting out of bed. Though training wouldn't be forever.. so maybe after a few months or a year things could go back to normal. If he managed to keep his ass alive that long.

Either way the work that Thalion and Mizuki were doing as far as training was concerned.. was preparing the Western forces for the final assault. With the idea that the West had magic and was already known for a few of their fighters.. Thalion was almost certain in his mind that either they could beat the East finally or force them to back down finally.. Though the slight hint of doubt did crawl up in his mind but it was quickly brushed aside knowing that if he started to doubt and it showed then the others would fall for sure.

He still had a hour at least before the training was due.. so Mizuki was probably still working with his group in the training grounds. Though it wouldn't hurt to get there early.. probably some of his victims were there. At the least he could check over the weapons or work on some basics with them till the grounds were free. Though his ears dropped a little at the thoughts going through his mind. "tsk curse you old man" he laughed slightly speaking to himself before pulling his shirt on and fastening the quiver to his back.


He had his reasons for saying this, all the times he said he wasn't leading and what the hell was he doing and planning right now? It was almost funny to him. Before leaving he double checked he had anything he could need; bow, daggers, both swords. There were spear weapons at the grounds so anything else he could just use there in the case any of the trainees were trying to learn the other weapons. Even if Thalion only used certain attacks and styles during a fight he had a bit of a hidden talent for being able to pick up any weapon and use it on the spot. Though this didn't mean he didn't have his preferences as well.

After he was done checking everything over he finally left and made his way across the encampment and towards the grounds, from the looks of things Mizuki was still busy. Though there was a bit of luck as Neimi almost skipped over to him greeting him before turning to finish the rest of the walk as he headed towards a few of the recruits. Though he hardly seemed impresses and the young lads seemed a little unsure of how to take Thalion, and the fact that Neimi was there and she was smiling let alone carrying out a full blown conversation.. even if it was a little one sided.

He stopped a few feet from the ones that were there before crossing his arms. "So this is what I have to work with... damn" He sighed a little before looking towards Neimi. "well when you join guess you really will be the best one I got" He seemed unphased by the odd looks he got from the boys that were there. Though one did finally speak up. "she's just a girl though, theres no way she's -" Thalion smirked a little. "care to test that? She's been training from the age of six, I think she could take any of you on right now in your current states." He shrugged a little. "Though if you lose to her now I have every right to refuse training to in order to prevent a known casualty."

He wouldn't really have let them fight but he was telling the truth, even if Neimi didn't look it she had quite a bit of training. For the longest time it was just Thalion and Neimi, though he hardly cared about her back then, she only started getting his attention when she was mimicking him back when he trained daily. Thats about when the whole bonding process between the two even began, probably a year after he saved her from certain death in the middle of no where. Though through all the slight bragging from Thalion Neimi just stood there with a smile on her face and a half lost star gazing look in her eyes.
