Once Lumina arrived back to the city, she headed straight to the hunters guild. finding her regur receptionist, she pleted the form to say that she did ten missions of E to D rank thus bee a D rank hunter. Just as she was getting ready to head out to go to the knights practice ground to learn how to fight with a rapier, she bumped into a tall nky looking figure.

  Looking up, Lumina saw a familiar sight of Ternan the elf that appeared rather snobby and approag him were a couple of ht, balding men with greasy and cmmy features.

  "Hey, watch it you whore."

  "Yeah fuck off bitch."

  Hearing these remarks ing from them, Lumi disgust and a slight anger ing to her chest before she pushed them down and decidedly started to walk away trying to de-escate the issue. It wasn't eveeps towards the door before she heard from the familiar voice of Ternan speak up. "Heh, I bet she'll moan in bed right under me like a good little slut."

  Hearing this, Lumina couldn't hold bad before she realised it she ung these men into the wooden floorboards of the guild hall mashing their faces into a bloody pulp as they turned bd blue from bruising. "Don't thunk You wham FUG DARE boom speak to me like that!!"

  After panting from this suddeion, Lumina got up a before anyone else could make a move or ent, some of the men in the guild hall ughed at Ternan and his followers while one of the receptionists asked if they were all right in an obligatory way, hiding their true thoughts behind their .

  Baina, she was angrily walking to the knights training ground whilst thinking. Fug assholes... ha, since when did I st lost my temper? maybe when I was a teen? whatever, lets calm down and focus on learning the rapier.

  Reag the training ground Lumina heard many noises of sword cshes, grunts, panting and instructors yelling obsities like no tomorrow. As she walked in, she noticed that many knights were there either training or temporarily resting, just as she was unclear as to where to go, An came into view and waved her over.

  Lumina, taking a deep breath headed over to An where she heard him say, "Thanks for ing, I see your sp a neon, finally found something you're fortable with?"

  Nodding her head, Lumina replied with "yes, it feels natural to hold but I'm a bnk ste in terms of the on so I came here to learn... sir."

  "Good, while I'm not that familiar with the rapier specifically, there are many areas that transte over from other sword styles so lets begin with the basics of footwork." Getting up from his sitting position, An looked over at Lumina "First which hand do you wield the rapier with?"

  "That would be the right hand sir."

  "Then you would also lead with the right foot as well, remember whenever moving forward you will use your lead foot first and if moving backwards, use you back foot. Meanwhile a passing step would be to move the backfoot forward into the lead position and mirror the previous footwork, this is mainly to be sued for specific attad defence positions."

  Taking this lesson seriously, Lumina listens with rapt attention before practig the basic footwork, capturing the correct positions with retive ease the more often she did with while An watched out for any mistakes. Ensuring that Lumina got the basic footwork down, he decided that it was time to teach her some of the basic terminology so that when it was referred, she could grasp the meaning quickly.

  "Stop, seems you got the footwork down now lets talk about lines. you've got the inside line and the outside line where the inside line is your offhand where you do not carry the rapier, therefore for you who is right hahe inside line is to the left of the sword and outside to the right of the sword." Then An poi out with his fio demonstrate the lines visually to Lumina to make sure that it was uood.

  "Now, the only other thing about the rapier that I remember is the lunge, in order to learn about anything else, you may want to go to a more specialist advisor once your strong enough to leave the ti and find a sword instructor. Now where was I? Oh yes, the luhe general idea is to use the whole body in lio attack with a thrust and cut." Taking a pause to breath, An then tinued.

  "To lunge, you initiate with the sword arm, followed by the body and then the leg, as for the rest you should really find a qualified teacher for better instru."

  "Thanks sir." Saying this, Lumiuro practig the footwork with lunges all afternooe making mistakes making sure that these problems are caught before they bee a problem. Overall, the practice makes her exhausted and sweaty from w out so that by dusk, Lumina headed back to the inn to rest for the night.

  Meanwhile, when Lumina was at the inn preparing to sleep, Ternan and his buddies were drinking heavily he slums swearing up a storm before a figure came by grabbing one of the fat bastards by the scruff of the ned shoving him against the stony wall. "Hey, where's the fug money you owe? Huh? Answer me!!" After delivering that sentehe man punched him heavily i making him winded.

  "I-I-I'll have it soon T-Trust me!!" Answering in a massive panic while stuttering and wheezing from the sudden attack.

  "You know borrowing from the hawks means that we expect to be paid not this fug-" Before the man could tinue berating the fat geezer Ternan cut him off with a proposition.

  "Hey, what if we made a trade for the money he owes? We know of a new girl who'll make ya a ton of in your brothels."

  The man sized up Ternan wheerrupted but soon made a calcuted gaze before asking "Who?"

  Making a creepy smile Ternan said with a cruel amused tone "Merely an apprentice level knife wielder in the hunters guild, very beautiful where most men want a piece of her." The man thought about it and replied with a small chuckle.

  "Deal, this better be fug worth it, not like she will be able to handle a small squad." After leaving this, he left leaving Ternan and his friends to ugh darkly in amusement as to what Lumina would likely gh in the hawks hands.
