Kazuma was sitted on the floor with crystal stabs all over his body, he had a dry facial expression on his face. Racheal who had blasted him was standing above him, her hair was floating and her eyes were glowing white and filled with anger. Kito muttered as he, Yuji, Volt and Lydia hid behind a bed "Wow, she's really pissed.", Yuji replied "Yup. Did Kazuma really do White that dirty?", Volt replied "Seems like it.". Kazuma then asked Racheal as he sat on the floor with small crystals pierced all over his body "Is there anything you'd like to say after almost killing me... Miss Racheal... Ma'am?", Racheal yelled while pointing at Kazuma "YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE A THREE-HUNDRED PAGED LETTER OF APOLOGY BEFORE I ALLOW YOU TO EVEN SEE WHITE!", Kazuma exhaled with a defeated smile "I knew it!". Lydia called out to Rachel "I already gave him that as a punishment, Sis.", Kito then muttered to himself "Damn, these sisters really are strict.". Kazuma got up and dusted himself "All jokes aside, where's White?", he asked, Racheal explained as she stretched "He's training outside. Although he should be done by now.". Kazuma just scoffed with a smirk "Let's go see him then.", while White was sitted on the floors of the backyard training grounds, he seemed to be enjoying the peace around him. White had a casual look on his face as he stared into the blue sky "Hm, today's not that bad. I get all the time I have to myself without trouble. After this, I'll just go inside and hang around Racheal and Lydia....", he took a sigh with his eyes closed "Days like these should last forever.". Suddenly, White heared Kazuma's voice calling his name "Yo, White.", White turned to his left and saw Kazuma, Kito, Yuji and Volt walking towards him. White asked "Huh? What are you guys doing here?", Kazuma replied with his hand supporting his head like a pillow "Nothing much, we ain't doing anything, so we came to see you.". Kito teased "You look awfully calm today. Just staring into nothing, huh?", White replied "That's not it. I'll have you know that I just finished training just now.", Volt then teased a bit "We just watched the fight you and Kazuma had in the gladiator rounds. Damn, you really held in there.", White asked dryly "Are you giving me a dry handed compliment?", Volt replied with a teasing smirk "Yes I am.". White got up with a sigh "Whatever. By the way, has anyone seen Baroka?", he asked. Yuji pasued for a moment "Now that I think of it, I haven't seen him in a while.", he muttered, Kito sighed while scratching his head "He's most likely at home. We should probably check up on him today.", Kazuma replied "Yeah, fair point.". White walked past his friends "Whatever, i have something to tell you all about. Let's go inside.". A few minutes go by, the boys were in the wide living room that was as big as an event hall. The lights were gleaming white, and the chandelier was pretty, Kazuma looked up into the ceiling "Wow, White, you sure are stacked. Seriously, you live In luxury.", Kito added to Kazuma's compliment "Kinda wish I was you right now.". White sat on the long couch "Yeah, I know. The noble lords are known for their creativity. Because of this, we've been able to create luxurious things and pass it on. Not just that, we've been known for having incredible wealth for a long time. It's kind of a blessing.". Volt then asked "So, what do you wanna talk about?", White replied with his eyes turned serious "Our next mission is going to be a crazy one. This isn't a joke, this one might kill us.". This comment from White completely got everyone shocked and on their toes, even Kazuma couldn't help but to feel serious. White wasn't the kind of person to joke around with serious situations at all, Kazuma asked with a serious look on his face "Go on, we're listening.". White explained "I got this information from my team leader, as well as my own intuition. We all would be going on a war mission around this Saturday. We'd be heading into the city of pillars, the capital of the city of wind. The reason is because the Knight Kingdom's scientists are there, they have been reported to be creating [Drive Knights], large numbers of them. Not just that, but our team leaders are also going on a similar mission too.". Volt then sighed with slight annoyance "So in other words, our week of rest is cut short.", Kito clicked his tounge while scratching his head "Should have known something like this was bound to happen. But i guess peace doesn't always last.". Kazuma, still very serious with this, asked White "So? Do you have any speculations on what's going to happen?". White continued to explain "Simple. If we infiltrate the city of pillars, we're going to be detected in no time. At that time, we'd be patrolling the city, that's most likely the time the [Drive Knights] will attack. Not just that, but the soliders in there would obviously be more skilled than us, which is why we should be more prepared. And with the numbers advantage with the [Drive Knights], it's going to be a problem.". Volt then muttered "So In other words, we need to be tactical about our approach.", Kito then added "Not just that, but we have to be constantly on our guard. What a pain.". Yuji thought to himself "Dan probably went on the mission to investigate the city of pillars. Since then, I haven't seen him.", Kazuma thought to himself with a straight but serious look with his legs crossed "Ariyo hasn't come back since, he most likely died on that mission on going into the city of pillars.". Kazuma's fists tightened, Yuji's eyes sharpened, they both thought to themselves "I swear, If I find the people who killed him, I AM GOING TO KILL THEM.".
