year 934, one year after the harsh training began,

Hajime:  Zaki! You're the top class! Even I didn't get to the top 5 but you got first rank!

Yamazaki:  Thanks, Jime. That's all because we worked together.

Yamazaki is our batch's top class trainee. I got rank 11th but that doesn't matter. What's more important is right now, we will be receiving our Relics. I can't wait to see mine!

"Why are they called Relics? It's because one day, they will become the sacred memories and witnesses of this world. Now!" the new Relics floated in the sky as the high priest casted the spell. Each of it resorted to their matched owners.

Right now, I hear excitements. But here I am still waiting fo--
I can see a Relic coming to me! It went to my side, and then I held it.

"Is this my-- Relic?! It's coooool!!" my excitement went oveboard.

after an hour:

Right now everyone around me are reading the manuals. But, wait..

"Its sharpness level is just 30 percent? Just 30%?" I was a bit disappointed.

"Don't get frustrated, Jime. It will increase if you'll have more experience with it. It is based on your swordsmanship as of now," Yamazaki explained.

Well, now that I know that, I felt relieved.

The Instructor is now announcing the teams.

Instructor:  And now, for the eleventh group, Shigeki Hajime!

Hajime:  Sir!

Insructor:  Oda Yamazaki!

after a while:

"I'm Masumi. You can call me Yumi! I'm turning 17 this month.I'm a Class B sniper! Pleased to meet you all."

"I'm Fumiko. 17. I'm a Class C mage. My power is Healing and Telekinesis."

"I'm Katsu. I'm a Class B swordsman"

"Tetsuya. I'm a Class B tank. I'll protect everyone at all cost. Let's always have fun together!"

"My name is Hajime. You can call me Jime. I'm a Class B swordsman as well. And this is Yamazaki everybody here knows him, you know, he's a bit unsociable that's why I'm his only friend and--"

"Jime shut it down."

"Hahaha. So he can also be a monster..  "

"Now now, It's time to shot. I'll fill up your glasses."

Tetsuya offered. He is kind after all.

"Cheers!!"

the next day:

"Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up you guys. Wake up now. Hey. Wake up. Three. Two. One. Sorry for this,, *kick*"

"It hurtss!!" A kick waked us up in the morning.

"Huh? Why am I here?"

"My head hurts!"

"What happened last night?"

Yamazaki explained, "You lot drank too much last night. I carried all of you, one by one here."

We all thanked and asked for forgiveness for being reckless.

"I'm sorry. I--"

"By the way, the Instructor summons us so hurry, it's about our first mission."

We were all shocked, "The Instructor?! our first mission?!"

the Instructor's office:

"You guys... DON'T YOU DARE BE LATE THE NEXT TIME I SUMMON YOU!"

Katsu spoke, "Now now sensei, we just--"

"No explaning! And why, WHY THE HECK ARE YOU CALLING ME SENSEI?! I AM A GENERAL JUST SO YOU KNOW!!"

"Instructor,"

"Now! Your first mission!"
