The wind began to blow harshly.. the large vessel was rocking back and forth as the wind storm had begun to flourish. White strands swayed from side to side, Aqua eyes glaring daggers at the target at hand, hand gliding over the golden hilt of his long sword 'this is it... I have to do this... now or never.' He thought preparing himself mentally, the flashes of yesterday events, his village, mother... and Yuuki.. it all came together lighting a fire within him as across from Dante Kudo a couple meters away was the Gargantuan White and Gold Sentinel; it's visor analyzing him with precision as it's blade energized waiting for him to make the first move..

In a Room filled with Monitors, sat Rose Atarah and Daisuke Kudo.. watching the Field Operation course meet it's climax "Come on kid. This is it..." the older veteran said softly as he watched  curiously "don't fail.. not now." Watching with anticipation, three individuals entered the room at the same instance. 3rd Commander Nero Kasuga, Corporal Marika Albarea and 4th Commander Shina Shimizu head of the Mana Corp
"It's begun... quite an interesting task you have given him Daisuke-Sensei... I know emotions play apart in concentrating Mana out of a spirit core.. but why set the Sentinel to such a high adjustment.. not even Rose had that setting."

"I'm curious as well. When Commander Shimizu explained what You had done to the system.. I couldn't quite understand it myself. This is beyond just a regular field operation... what are you preparing him for? The Grand War against Agaroto ended 16 years ago.. such threats are of rare occurrences in todays age.." Nero Kasuga questioned as well, he knew that Daisuke had a very strict standard anyone of that sort of status would after all but there was a hint of overkill.

In the midst of their immediate questions, Rose Atarah turned her head to look at the three individuals suddenly fixing her posture, she seemed more comfortable around Daisuke her direct superior but when another Commander entered the room she tensed up not in fear at all but more in a respectful manner. "Good morning...Commander Kasuga.. Commander Shimizu!"

"Ah! Second Rank Atarah! It's been sometime... sense the Entrance exam I believe. you have grown in the past five months.. you look more of a knight than most others..." Nero Kasuga greeted politely, as Shina Shimizu gave a small nod and smile "Agreed! I see your proving yourself rather well. Thank you again for allowing me to analyze your Spirit core last month it was quite interesting getting to see a Dark Elf's power..."

"Of course.. whatever you need Commander and Arigatou!." Rose was a very serious girl in all sense of the term but when it came to people she regarded highly, she was much more nervous as suddenly Nero spoke up "hm. You've never met my right hand before... this is Corporal Marika Albarea... Kira Narukami's following her lead" the dark elf looked at Marika with curiosity, the rather serene knight looked just as noble as Kira "greetings..." was all she could say 'Kira mentioned shadowing a high ranked Corporal, this is her?'
