"Myah, I don't want to become food", Grim said, fear in his tone.
"W-we mean no harm, we are students from a magic school", Sebek stated.
"We're from Night Raven College", Evelyn said.
"Night Raven College... you say", the soldier asked.
"Yes, it's located on the Sage's Island...", Sebek began.
"I'VE SAID I'M NOT INTERESTED IN A SCHOOL FOUNDED BY HUMANS", the soldier shouted, making everyone jump, "you wish to teach me magic even though all you can do are childish tricks; first, a letter, now they're sending lackeys... how annoying, you really think you have something to teach me, are you making fun of me",
"We didn't even say any of that", Grim stated.
"N-no, we're...", Silver began.
"I've already got my hands full dealing with those "Silver Owls", I don't have time to play these silly games", the soldier stated, "I'll let you off just this once, get out of here, humans",
"Our school sent a letter to a monster like that", Grim asked.
"A MONSTER, WATCH YOUR MOUTH, BEAST", Sebek shouted, "look at the design on their armor, that is the coat of arms the royal guards of the Briar Valley wear, but it's quite old, why is it...",
"I've seen that symbol before...", Evelyn muttered to herself.
"That weapon, and the light that flew around the soldier just now... I think we're...", Silver began as another soldier came running in.
"REPORTING... I'M HERE TO INFORM YOU, GENERAL", the soldier shouted.
"Shut up, Baul, what's the matter", the soldier asked.
"B-BAUL", Sebek asked.
"What's wrong, Sebek, ya know this guy", Grim asked.
"N-no... it can't be...", Sebek muttered.
"Hmm, who are you children", Baul asked, taking a look at them, "those round ears... are you the "men of steel",
"They're just lost kids, leave them be... you were saying", the soldier asked.
"Yes, troops stationed in the forest have reported "Silver Owl" activities", Baul explained, "they are setting up tents as we speak and ravaging the area",
"I'll get rid of them", the soldier muttered, beginning to take his leave.
"Please wait", Silver shouted, gaining the soldier's attention, "p-please... take us with you",
"What", the soldier asked.
"Silver", Evelyn asked.
"We can't return to school... we'll prove to you our worth as Night Raven College students", Silver explained, "we promise not to hold you back, we are experienced in both magic and skills",
"I believe I made myself clear...or did you simply not understand", the soldier asked, "leave before it's too late, humans",
"We're not leaving no matter what you say", Silver challenged, "please, let us go with you",
"...Very well", the solder said in defeat, shocking everyone.
"What are you saying, we can't let these humans follow our team", Baul stated as the soldier began whispering to him, "...you're right...",
"Listen well, you can follow us on one condition", the soldier said.
"Conditions", Silver muttered.
"If you can manage to land a hit me, you can come", the soldier explained, "Come at me, humans",
