Lora and the other orphanage kids were taken to the orphanage hospital while the other people were taken to other hospitals for checking on any physical or mental damage.

Lora and Naxie just had few scratches and thus were discharged earlier.
The number of deaths were zero. None were seriously injured but many had taken damage.

Lora had went down to get something to eat. When she was moving up to the room the room cleaning maid spoke to her.

"Weren't the sword's men amazing. I think even I should join them"; she said.

"Were you at the site of attack"; Lora asked.

"Nope I wasn't"; she said; "But I surely know how awesome they would have fought. You should also join in. People don't always get a chance to join";

"Thank's for informing. I'm just not intrested"; Lora lied and left the place.

Lora moved up to find Naxie missing. Melinda informed her that she had gone for her daily tour.

"What are you thinking"; Rachel asked Lora.

"Select one of the two fingers"; Lora said placing two fingers in front of Rachel.

"What is it for"; Rachel asked.

"Just select one"; Lora said.

Rachel selected one but Lora wasn't satisfied.
She again placed her fingers forward and Rachel selected one of the two but again she wasn't satisfied with it.

"The last one is the final one"; Lora said.

The last one even didn't satisfy her.

"What's wrong. What did I select the three times"; Rachel asked.

"It was all a yes. Yes to join the swords learning classes";

"If you don't wanna join you can simply don't join"; Melinda said.

"It's not that way either"; Lora replied confused.

She got up and took a decision. She decided to visit the classes once. She got changed into something flexible and headed to find the lady owner.

She got the permission to join and was accompanied to the place by a soldier.

The place wasn't much far. It took 20 minutes walk for them to reach the place.

Lora entered the classes through the open door. She noticed some familar and some unfamiliar people. The familiar one were from her class anf the orphanage girls.

She was stared by all of them.
After about a minute a girl stepped forward. Lora recognized her. She was the scenior from her orphanage who had informed her aout the classes. She recollected her name as Stella.

"The trainer is not here at the present. You won't be able to meet him right now. Why don't you show yourself later"; Stella said.

Lora gave a few seconds thought and just slightly nodding her head she turned towards the door and took her leave.

She again wondered whether she should join as she would be leaving soon and Rolando was eventually there to teach.

Stella got a phone call. She picked it up while the others continued practising.

"Someone go and get that girl Lora"; Stella yelled.

The people around were confused but one among the students went down to call the girl. Luckily Lora was still waiting ag the place. She was called.

Lora wondered what had happened but even then moved back to the class following the person who had went to call her.

She was asked to wait without informing anything by Stella. She did as she was told.

About 10 minutes time a person barged in. The boy was too exhausted. He had turned red maybe because of fever.

All started greeting the person. Lora guessed that he maybe the trainer.

She took a closer look to recognize him as the guy who had talked to her in the book stall.

Lora noticed Stella moving towards the boy. She moved her hand towards her forehead.

"What's wrong with you. You have so high fever. What the hell are you doing at this place"; Stella inquited.

The boy stood straight. All his exhaustion just vanished away. He caught Stella's hand and took it away from his forehead.

"Who is the new person"; he asked ignoring Stella.

Lora hesitately moved forward. She judged him to be a strict person.

She noticed a bit anger on Stella's face. She was probably angry.

"The girl seem to be in love"; Lora thought as she stepped forward.

"Good evening"; she wished.

He didn't reply but rather stared at her face.

"I wanted to join the classes. I want to learn how to fight with a sword. Would you help me train myself"; Lora asked.

"Why do you wat to learn"; he asked.

"I have a crazy hobby you can say of learning things but morever that's because I want to protect whom I orefer protectable. Whom I want to protect"; Lora said; "but...";
she was interupted.

"But what";

"I don't think I will be staying here for much longer";
Lora was interupted again.

"How can you give such a speech when you know you won't be able to bare enough... you have accepted defeat";

Stella had a smirk on her face.

"I will never accept defeat. I will never give up"; Lora stated with firmness.

The sudden sentence got everyone's attention. She wished to learn was fine but staying for lesser time wouldn't be accepted by the trainer as he won't like a person to half learn a particular thing. Half knowledge was dangeroud.

And on the other hand the trainer was the one who makes the rules. It had never happened the opposite and mostly would never be.

But everyone were shocked to hear his response.

"It's alright till you show your intrests in learning till whatever time you are present here"; he replied.

Stella was going to interupt but she didn't got a chance.

The tainer introduced himself as Richard Taylor.

He went back in his office ordering everyone to begin practising.

Lora looked at everyone practise. She didn't had any idea what she should do.

Richard was watching her through the glass window.

He moved out of his office and headed straight towards Lora. He handed her a wodden sword.

"You will begin with this"; he said.

Lora nodded.
  She ondered how would she train with a wodden sword. She had never used one before. The first time she had trained was with Rolando who had made her use an actual sword.

He showed her one move.

"Did you get that";

She nodded with a yes, "But would you like to teach me some more";

"Don't be impatient. You won't be able to master a single move in that way",

"Don't you worry I will surely be able too. I guarantee"; Lora said.

Stella who had been eardropping was getting irritated.

She knew he won't be agreeing but instead he agreed and demoed few other moves but in nice speed. He wanted to test Lora.

But Lora was able to catch them all.
Richard was surprised to see her fast catch.

He left her train and went to check on others.
