I Am An Assassin

Taken For Granted Part 9

Slowly but surely everyone soon had soon left with an assassin to train, the last group left was Ona, Tera, and Izaak.

"Do you think they forgot about us?" Izaak asked, he was sprawled out on the ground. Ona was kneeling down and ripping some grass out of the ground, she stood up and studied the grass.

"Smells fresh!" Ona whispered out to herself, she shivered in excitement. Tera sighed and face-palmed. The green smells reminded her of the forest but she couldn't exactly stop to admire the view then. Ona counted down with a smile on her face

"Three..two..one!" Ona cried out in excitement, she threw the grass in the air after she shouted the number one out, she was excited because she was a little bit closer to becoming an assassin. Ona felt a presence and twisted around, Tera snapped her head in the direction and Izaak sat up.

"You guys seem great at first impressions." A voice spoke out in a sarcastic tone, a man stood in front of Ona, arms crossed.

"What is he talking about, our impressions were fin-" Ona's eyes widened, they probably all looked like a bunch of slackers that hated each other.

"Tera, Ona, Isaac, my name is Ano, I will be training you.." Ano studied all of the, especially Izaak, who snapped up onto his feet and nervously looked at Ano.

"Alright here will be fine, I am aware of all of your energy and weapons so it seems right that you should know mine." The man spoke out, he turned around and showed off a huge sword, he turned forwards again.

"Energy talents would be A1, A2, X3, and Z3." Ano told them, he then placed his sword on the ground.

"Place any weapons you have on top, in a pile." Ano directed, the three of them hesitated. Ona opened up her palm, which was all clammy from holding onto the pocket knife with a tight grip, Ona placed it on top of the sword. Tera and Izaak both placed their bags on the ground and dug around, Izaak dug a wand out of his bag and placed it into the pile, he also placed his bag near the pile. Tera did the same, placing Ona's sword in the pile and her own blade from her shirt into her bag, both bags were near the pile and everyone was facing Ano unarmed.

"I would like all of you to rate your hand to hand combat skills from a 1 to 10, 1 being bade and 10 being good." Ano explained, Tera nodded but then froze.

"Without energy?" Tera asked, Ona realised what she was saying. She meant A energy, Ano sighed.

"Without using energy." Ano replied, Tera thought to herself.

"Why don't start." Ano suggested, Tera nodded.

"I'm good, with energy, I'm not very good without energy, I would rate myself a seven." Tera replied, Ona was shocked.

"I thought Tera would be perfect at everything!" Ona thought to herself, the man turned to Izaak.

"Izaak, what do you think about your skills?" Ano asked Izaak, Izaak didn't even think about his response.

"I don't do much physical combat, I learned a tiny bit to protect myself when I was younger in case I-" Izaak stopped then continued.

"I would rate myself a 5" Izaak responded, he was being honest and Ano nodded.

"Ona." Ano knew Ona knew what to do next, Ona swallowed the fear of being rejected.

"I have never done any fighting in my life except for the training I did with Tera, I would rate myself about a -10." Ona was being honest, she was terrible, Izaak couldn't help but snicker quietly and Tera sighed. Ano thought for a second then came to a conclusion.
