Training... For Real Now

"RISE AND SHINE! UP AND AT 'EM, YOU LAZY KIDS!" Gildarts crashes the gong over and over as a few of the vampires start hissing at him.

"WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?!" Gajeel shouts as Gildarts grabs a spray bottle from his cloak and sprints water on him, making him hiss at him.

"Your exorcists are awake too!" Gildarts cheerfully says as he drags the vampires from their room and into the main training hall, where they see the four equally sleepy exorcists.

"Why are we-" Gray yawns, scratching his head, "Up this early for again?"

"Training, of course!" Gildarts shouts with pride, seeing the group practically falling asleep where they stand.

Gildarts takes out his trusty water bottle and spritz it on Lyon and he wakes up, accidentally making the temperature of the room drop and waking everyone else up.

"Note this, exorcists. Vampires aren't particularly fond of water. Although, it does different kinds of damage to different kinds of vampires. Purebloods aren't affected by the purity of water while, turned vampires are only bothered a little by it, as example of you lot." He referred to the group growling at him, "It only gets really fun on the frenzies. With one hit, the water will completely syphon their powers from them, if they even have any to begin with." Gildarts says, seeing Levy wide awake and taking notes down in her little pad.

"What do you mean by that?" Gray asks.

"Frenzies are the lowest of the low in the vampire world, although, in that place, we call them the despicables." Lyon says and Jellal nods.

"Frenzies are humans that were turned and if they don't feed for too long, they go into a permanent bloodlust, completely losing their human side and becoming savage creatures that are only capable of killing." They hear the chilling voice of the one and only, Zeref Dragneel behind them as he walks in.

"Zeref, did you get any sleep at all last night?" Silver asks, sounding concerned when he saw the dark circles under the exorcist's eyes.

"I ran out of the pills last night. Couldn't sleep." Zeref says grumpily and Silver began to shout.

"Are you serious?! Me and Makarov only made that batch a month ago! You ran out already?" Silver asks and Zeref growls at him.

"SHUT UP!" Zeref shouts, suddenly remembering that the trainees and vampires were in the room.

"I apologize for raising my voice... I'm not myself this morning..." Zeref bows as an apology.

"It's okay, headmaster... But, are you sure you're okay?" Erza asks and Zeref yawns.

"I'll live... Hey, why is it so cold in here?" Zeref asks as the group starts to glare daggers at a certain albino of Gray's contracts, who was ruffling his white hair and laughing nervously at the others' stares.

"Today, you lot will be going on your first mission." Gildarts says.

"A mission?!" Natsu's eyes sparkle at the thought of a battle.

"Finally time to test out our training!" Gray was also getting pumped up.

"We recently got a request to kill a few frenzies in the area. It's a good chance for you four to test out your skills and maybe even be able to build your strength with your contracts as a team." Gildarts refers to the four exorcists as they nod.
