The Day Before Initiation

Two weeks have nearly passed and Union's initiation was supposed to be held tomorrow. Training got harder and harder as time went on, but at the same time, it got easier. Maybe it was because I was getting used to the harsh conditions I was put up against. 

Of course, I didn't let training get in the way of me looking out for Ryouko and Hinami. Turns out, they settled in quite nicely and Hinami's mentioned how Ayato is actually really nice underneath that stern exterior of his. Thankfully, they've also been fed fresh food which was also a little concerning considering what Ghouls eat. 

Right now, I was taking a look at my body and saw I made just a little bit of progress. It wasn't quite a six pack or even a 4 pack, but I could tell there was a small difference in my body. With a low sigh, I put on my shirt and looked to my right, looking at some of the workout equipment Sen found for me. I debated working out today, but according to Briar, it was best if I used my last day as a rest day. And speaking of Briar...

Footsteps grew louder from my left, prompting me to look. Turns out it was Briar approaching me. 

Mutasim: Hey Briar and Lute.

Briar: Hello Mutasim. How are you feeling? 

Mutasim: Honestly? I'm feeling a little restless. Feels weird not training when that's all I've been doing for the past two weeks. 

She let out a low hum and a smile.

Briar: I was very much the same when I started out. But rest days are vital for training. If you train every single day, you'll wear your body out and it could impact your performance in a negative way. 

Mutasim: Yeah... 

Lute: How are you feeling about tomorrow's initiation?

Mutasim: Honestly? A little nervous but also confident. 

Briar: Confidence is a good thing. Just don't be overconfident. 

Lute: And don't take any unnecessary risks. Keep in mind you don't have powers like the rest of the newcomers. 

Mutasim: Yeah. Which just means I'll need to work twice as hard. Thanks. For everything. 

Briar: You're welcome. I'll admit, I never pictured myself training someone else to fight. But it felt good. If you ever want some more training, we'll be here. 

Mutasim: Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Though considering Union focuses mostly on enhancing powers, I might need some more training with you. 

Briar: And I'd be happy to help. 

She smiled at me and ruffled my hair. Lute giggled at the heart-warming sight. 

Lute: Good luck with your initiation tomorrow. Oh! And the One-Eyed King was looking for you. She's in her bedroom. 

Mutasim: Thanks for letting me know. I probably shouldn't keep her waiting. 

Briar: Go ahead. 

I nodded and left the room, making my way to Sen's bedroom. I entered the room and found her sat down on her bed cross-legged. As soon as she saw me, she smiled. 

Sen: Hello Mutasim. How are you feeling? 

Mutasim: I'm okay. But not doing anything is just making me restless. 

Sen: Well, you can always do me. ~

I rolled my eyes while Sen just giggled mischievously. She's been like this ever since I arrived and it seems she doesn't quite get the message that I'm already taken. But I gotta give her points for effort. 

Mutasim: I think I'll pass. 

Sen: Oh come on. Have you ever had sex with a Ghoul? 

Mutasim: Nope. But I've made out with one before. 

Sen: Yeah. Making out with a Ghoul isn't quite as intense as having sex with one. 

Mutasim: And since when are you an expert on this kind of thing? 

Sen: I'm not. But a girl like me has fantasies. ~

Mutasim: Knowing you, you'd probably take a chunk out of the guy who'd do you. 

She laughed and nodded. 

Sen: Yeah. And I'm not one to be gentle. ~

Mutasim: You are way too horny. I'm honestly surprised you're not writing anything smut. 

Sen: Oh I do. But that's only for me to read. Unless you'd like to have a read too? ~

Mutasim: I'd... Rather not. 

Sen: Okay then. If you say so. But the offer's still out there. 

Mutasim: I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, I'm thinking I'll get an early night. 

I said as I jumped onto the bed, resting the back of my head on my arms. Sen smiled and sat down beside me. 

Sen: So. How do you feel about initiation tomorrow? 

Mutasim: I don't know. I feel eager yet... kinda nervous. Not only that but... It also makes me feel sad. 

Sen: Because of your friend?

I nodded slowly. Sen let out a low sigh. 

Sen: I'm sure she's happy for you. Isn't being a hero what she wanted for both you and her? 

Mutasim: Yeah, but... We promised we'd do it together. Without Izuki... I dunno... It just feels wrong. 

Sen: Well, think about it this way. If you get into Union, you can rub it in her bully's face if he gets in too. And then you can show him that even without powers, you can handle yourself. And if you really want, you can make him pay by beating him down. 

Mutasim: Maybe. Anyway, I'm gonna catch some Z's. Goodnight Sen. 

Sen: Goodnight Mutasim. And one more thing. My real name is Eto. 

Mutasim: Alright then. Goodnight Eto. 

She smiled at me and patted my head. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep. 



I just hoped that I'd be able to make Izuki proud. It's what she would have wanted... Right?
