   I followed Lauren into what looked like a changing room. She passed me some clothing which turned out to be pretty heavy. I set what seemed to be an armor down and looked up at Lauren. "Umm not to be rude but can I maybe have some privacy?" I asked trying to sound as polite as I could.

   She turned her head to me, giving me a cold glare. I sighed and started taking my shirt off revealing my toned stomach. I bent down to grab the first piece of armor, when I heard shifting of feet. I look to see Lauren staring directly at me, after 3 seconds of staring she quickly turned her head. I tilted my head a bit "Are you okay Lauren?" I asked

   She cleared her throat "Um y-yes! Just hurry up and change." She quickly walked out of the room. "Okay..." I grabbed the next piece of armor and stared at it. 'Now how the fuck Am I supposed to put this on?' After what seemed like ages, I was finally all set to go, (picture at the top)at least I thought I was.

    I went out the door Lauren went out of to see this giant field. "Woah.." I said in amazement,"Close your mouth (y/ n) or flies will get in." I was snapped out of my daze to see Dinah walking up to me. She patted my back, "That's how it was for us in the beginning too so don't worry. By the way you should hurry, you don't want Lauren to wait." She smiled, and walked off.

    I manage to find Lauren in this giant field, and ran up to her. "About time, now don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because you're new." I nodded,she only stared at me. "Umm is something wrong?" I asked, she walked up to me and grabbed my chest piece. "You're  more of an idiot then I expected." I frowned a bit, she took off the piece and turned it around. She placed the piece back on and she looked down a bit making our eyes meet.We just stared at each other for a while. She tapped the armor and quickly backed away.

"Alright listen to what I'm going to say and listen closely. To start your training you need a weapon, but to receive your weapon you need to go through two test. A mental test and a physical test." I nodded again showing her I was paying attention.

    She continued, "The physical test will be graded by Ally and the mental test will be made by the 5 of us. If you pass the test then you receive the weapon that best fits. Don't think it will be easy some don't even survive the physical test. I'm here to warm you up for this, for now you will use a simple iron blade. Did I make myself clear?" I quickly nodded, "Yes ma'am!" I yelled

   "Alright we start with your stealth skills first, that's the most important aspect of being an assassin." She walked a few steps then tapped her foot. I heard rumbling when a bunch of obstacles arose from the ground 'that's so cool!' "We'll start with trying to make you sound less noisy, so let's work on your walking first."

   We walked over to this wall looking obstacle. "You have to be so silent that it seems like you're not even there." I nodded, "Now, act like I'm your target, try to sneak up on me. Use your blade and point it to my neck.Remember the more silent you are the better." She walked to the other side of the wall, I grinned feeling determined.

  I slowly walked towards the other side trying to be as quiet as possible. When I reached the other side, I was about to point my blade when a hand grabbed my wrist. "I'm sure even Camila could hear you, and she's in another city right now." She said dryly, "how!?"I asked in surprise. "Simple, you weren't quiet enough." She let go of my wrist, "Can you show me how then? She sighed

  "Go behind the wall and watch carefully." I nodded and stood behind the wall waiting and waiting. I was about to sigh when I felt something  poke my neck. I gasp it was Lauren, 'how come I didn't hear her!?' She pulled her blade away, "Now try it again." I nodded and got into position.

  After countless attempts I wasn't able to get anywhere she would always catch me and stop me. She rubbed her temples "You're  going to run 5 laps around the entire field as a punishment." I smirked 'just 5? Back when I was in soccer we had to do more than that!' She must of noticed because I saw her eyes narrowed "With your armor on...after that you can shower and change into your normal clothing." She walked away, leaving me in the field.
