" first stance! " the fierce commander's voice boomed throughout the open training grounds, making the beginners flinch but re-do their combat postures with their stiff swords for now, as to the high knight's knowing they would accidentally hit each other that would end up having prominent scars on their bodies so he insisted to have to start off lowly then make themselves go up by training harshly.

" repeat! " his eyes was like a eagle, you cannot be missed even by a sole mistake nor misstep he would redress everyone and go back to the starting of stances - yes, Minhyung maybe softhearted after his battles and felt sympathy towards his fellow companions but that didn't mean he wasn't rigid within the grounds. Like an alteration within his entire demure, his whole personality shifts. Becoming one of the most sweetest then next ruthless in a matter of seconds, that's the reason the newcomers even his following knights were intimidated and scared most of the time.

" you know you should really be less merciful with the trainees? " a hand has been placed upon the commander's shoulder, knowing who would be bold enough to make contact with him - he didn't even glance at his close friend his eyes were still pierced through the youngsters in the square. " being tough on them will be more promising this is already less then it should've been but observing their capabilities for the first training... this batch is certainly strong ".

Guanheng was never failed to be impressed by the older, how can Minhyung know all that just from their stances? Postures? The new comers haven't even had a duel amongst themselves but the commander was already aware of the force that they have. Recalling the other's words as he placed his hand back to his sides, and gasped dramatically as he questioned " what ever do you mean by ' less then it should've been '? "

He quoted the commander, making Minhyung smirk subtly. Guanheng did not miss it for sure, that look was all too familiar to him. It's never a good sign, that he is sure of. Regretting his choices of trying to lessen and ease the other for being so strict with the youngsters, as a result he made it more harder for them, muttering a little apology to the chosen ones even if he knew he wasn't heard. Guanheng should have kept his mouth shut. He knew that Minhyung never likes to be told on what do nor go against on how he does his ordeal.

" student 24 come forth " Guanheng flinched at command Minhyung made loudly, the one he called upon was trembling to say the least but the unfamiliar male tried not to show the evident fear he was feeling within when his number was called abruptly. The said male looked very young indeed, having a brunette hair color with small strands of faded gold dark hair all over the place, his cheekbones visible in the daylight making him attractive, his thin but luscious lips that were in their natural color. Overall the male had his looks he could even be considered as high class if it weren't for the scrapes, dirts and being in the crowd of the newcomers that had been collected from the villages.
