       I sit in my room as I think about the plan that was about to be set in motion. I shouldn't worry but I still feel uneasy. Nothing is set in stone at the moment and me relying on Lima isn't my top priority. I just need the Brigaders to be distracted and separated long enough so I can put things in their place. I figured that I should clear my mind a bit with a little training, after all, I heard rumors that the Brigaders were training up to level 7 to be ready for TNT next month. I already took the course and leveled up, naturally. I am the strongest after all.
I decided that I needed myself and one of the guys to be level 8 before the plan happens, and if the others do the same then all the better. I went into my Neon Form and walked past the corridors and halls towards the Training Facility. I could care less about the rules where we could only go into our Neon Forms in the Training Facility. I should get special rights seeing as how I'm one of the people representing  Warrior Clan Academy. Besides, it makes me seem more intimidating than I already am, not that anyone here would dare to get in my way anyways.

       I came across my right-hand man on the team as he came out of the Training Facility.  "I wouldn't go in there at the moment, it's packed." His voice was deep and he was already above the average height for a fifteen-year-old. Once in a while, I feel intimidated by him. "Please, I could give a damn about how full it is. They should all just leave the moment I walk in."

      "You know, that's not gonna happen every time, right?" I just glare at him in response. "It's never not worked before, right?" I'm not falling behind in my training this year, not that I ever was anyway. I just wave him off, telling him to fuck off.
      
       I walked passed him and kicked open the doors, drawing everyone's attention towards me. Nobody dared to look in my eyes, which were now a bright coral color. I raised my voice let off a bit of my aura to make them weak in their knees. "Hey! If you plan on seeing the moonlight tonight, then I suggest you get out..." They all just stared as if they were deers caught in headlights. I guess I have to be a bit more convincing. I summoned my scythe and struck on the ground, causing it to tremble.  "Now!"
      
       They all whisked passed me like mice escaping the Black Death itself. The Training Facility has been left barely empty with a few upperclassmen training in a corner, of course, they of all the damn people in this academy don't really fear me as a person, they just see me and the others as rivals. I still think it's pathetic as to how they think they can surpass us.
      
       I just now realized that there wasn't a single person here to set up my targets. The ones that were currently placed were marked by all the weaklings that had been here before me. I looked around the to eventually find a small pusillanimous girl picking up some of the extra weapons that laid on the floor. Oh, she's absolutely perfect.  "Hey you!" I gestured towards her with my scythe. She looked at me with nothing but fear and innocence in her eyes. "Um, yes?" This was way too easy.  "What's your name?" Her hair fell onto her face. What a frail little thing. "Um, Rachel miss..."

      "Miss?! Do I look like an old lady to you? Do you know who I am?!" This girl has to be at least a level 5, but she's my age. What a disgrace, I mean, how can she possibly be a part of  Warrior Clan Academy?! "N-no! Of course not! I mean yes, I know who you are but-"

      "You know what? Don't say anything else. Just keep your mouth shut and come with me cause it looks like you have the honor of being my....target." She flinched and became slightly pale. "Um I'm sorry, but did you just say t-t-target...?"

      "Y-y-yes! Jesus learn how to speak like a normal person and not like someone who has hypothermia!" She composed herself a little and stood a little taller and less slumped. "Ahem, of course, my apologies." Finally, I feel like I'm babysitting. "Good, now go set up some targets or else I'll start with you first!"
