The next day I woke up with a punch from Diana, when I looked at her I saw that she was still sleeping, as I watched she tried to punch me again, I turned my head away and quickly got out of bed.

When I get out of bed I see that Kira is not there, I left the other three sleeping and I leave the room, then I go into one of the bathrooms and use a potion of liquid soap to clean my teeth and wash my face when I leave the bathroom I try to use my connection to Kira to know the direction it's in and go to her.

Yesterday we looked at almost every room in the mansion, so from the direction, I'm sensing Kira is going to be the training ground behind the mansion, I start heading there.

On the way, I meet Irina leaving her brother's room.

"Good Morning." (I)

"Good morning Dad, have you seen my brother?" (Irina)

"No, but he could be with Kira at the training camp, he wants to come with me." (I)

"Yes." (Irina)

Irina and I walked to the back of the mansion where we saw Kira and Irius fighting without weapons, I motioned for Irina not to interrupt them and we watched their combat training.

The two had very different ways of fighting, Kira was faster and made fewer attacks, but each attack was directed to a vital point or some joint since Irius was stronger, each attack was full of destructive power and would cause a lot of damage regardless of where he hit, he was slower than Kira, but seemed to try to anticipate his moves to hit her, Kira responded by doing feints to fool him.

At first, I thought Irius would win as he was clearly stronger and his attacks more destructive, but Kira dodged most of his attacks, compared to most of Kira's attacks hit, each attack on Irius' joints slowed him down. and his less accurate punches, in the end, Kira let one of Irius's punches hit her shoulder giving more speed to her body to spin, she took advantage of the opening of his punch to get behind him and put his neck to the side, so the two stopped the fight.

"It was my complete defeat." (Irius)

"I don't often fight someone with assassin techniques like you, I appreciate your help with training." (Irius)

"It was good training, I was close to losing many times." (Kira)

"If you had a knife you could have killed me eight times, even in the end you could have cut my neck instead of breaking it, it would have been faster." (Irius)

"There's a reason I didn't attack too much, each blow you could have taken me out of combat, I wasted a lot of time dodging you and I couldn't attack if you had a sword with a range longer than my daggers I would be at a disadvantage ." (Kira)

"I think they were both great, the way Irius tried to predict Kira's next move or the way Kira tried to use feints to defend herself, they're both amazing." (I)

"Master, how long have you and Irina been there?" (Kira)

"We just arrived, we just saw the end of the battle." (Irina)

"Good morning sister, good morning Father." (Irius)

"Good Morning." (I)

"You lost ugly brother, that's not often the case." (Irina)

"I don't have much experience fighting killer-type enemies like Kira, at camp I ended up training more with Diana as her style matches mine." (Irius)

"But during training she told me how Father usually trains, I was surprised by what she said as it felt more like a one-sided beating than training." (Irius)

"Just thinking about it makes me shiver, Diana and Kira were so strong and fast I couldn't even see them moving." (I)

"I always found this training ridiculous, in the early days you always fell on the first hit, Diana and I were surprised when you managed to keep up with our speed." (Kira)

"I could follow your speed with my eyes, but it was useless if my body wasn't moving fast enough." (I)"It was with this training that I thought about calling Kira for a mock fight, I don't have much experience facing enemies like Kira, so I thought I could learn a little from her." (Irius)

"I'm also learning a little from you, I was trained to finish battles fast, I'm not very good with long battles like Diana, so this training against enemies that I'm not able to finish quickly is very beneficial for me too." (Kira)

"Sorry to interrupt your training, I went to my brother's room, but there was no one, so I saw Father and accompanied him here." (Irina)

"Alright, we're done, right Irius?" (Kira)

"Okay, all I want now is something to eat." (Irius)

"I'm getting hungry too, let's wake the others up and eat something on the way to the Adventurers' Guild." (I)

We went up to my room to wake the others up and then went to a restaurant for a bite to eat before heading to the Guild.

---------

I was impressed with the size of the Adventurers Guild when we arrived, Diana walked us to the reception and asked the receptionist to call her her friend Mari.

"Diana, it's good to have you back." (Mari)

"It's good to be back." (Diana)

"So you came to see me or did you come on a mission?" (Mari)

"I came to see you, I want you to meet some people." (Diana)

"This is my new Group." (Diana)

"This is Érica, this is Kira you already know, this is Irina, this is her brother Irius and this is the leader of the Zenos group." (Diana)

Diana points to me and the others introducing us one by one to her friend.

"Did you say Érica?" (Mari)

"As you can see they have the same name." (Diana)

"I see, follow me, let's talk in one of the rooms upstairs." (Mari)

Mari led us to one of the rooms on the second floor, as soon as we entered we all sat on sofas to talk.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Mari an old friend of Diana's and the supervisor of the Adventurers' Guild." (Mari)

"It's nice to finally meet you, Diana always talks about you, thanks for always helping her." (I)

"His name is Zenos, the leader of the group, right?" (Mari)

"Yes." (I)

"It's nice to meet you, Diana refused to tell me anything about you." (Mari)

"We came today to meet you as Diana is always talking about you and to register us with the Guild as well." (I)"I can complete your registration, I'll just need some information, wait a minute." (Mari)

Mari takes a reading crystal and takes six storage crystals, she inserts one of the crystals, then she pulls out a spherical crystal and puts it on the table before turning back to look at me.

"Let's start the record for you so Mr. Zenos, put your hand on the crystal of truth." (Mari)

"Alright, what else do you need?" (I)

"I'll need your name or a pseudonym." (Mari)

"It could be my name anyway, Zenos." (I)

"I'll need to know if your specialty is offense, defense, support, or control." (Mari)

"That's a good question, I never stopped to think about it." (I)

"Hmmm..." (I)

"You're definitely the control type, you're not perfect yet, but with more training and experience you'll make it." (Diana)

"If you say so, then I'll choose the control type." (I)

"The next three questions are optional, if you want you don't need to answer." (Mari)

"How old are you?" (Mari)

"What race are you?" (Mari)

"What is your job?" (Mari)

"I choose not to answer then." (I)

"These are the last questions, please just answer yes or no." (Mari)

"Do you want to do or intend to harm the Adventurers' Guild?" (Mari)

"Not." (I)

"Do you wish to do or intend to do evil for this Kingdom?" (Mari)

"Not." (I)

"That finishes the background papers, all that's left is a test with survival questions and a mock fight so we'll know which rank to put you in." (Mari)

"All right." (I)

"Before I move on to the survival test I'm going to ask the same questions for the rest of your group." (Mari)

Mari kept exchanging information crystals for each person, she asked the same questions and everyone responded in a similar way to mine while holding the crystal of truth that was always glowing green.

After the questions were over, Mari left the room and returned with some paperwork that she distributed three to each, along with a pen.

"You must answer these survival questions about my supervision, you can't talk to each other until you're done, and you can't use any books, start whenever you want." (Mari)

I first read the questions and see that they are all about survival, all the questions are about someone lost in different environments.

I had questions about how to survive in a desert, a forest, a swamp, the ocean, and even how to deal with certain types of monsters with difficult powers.

I answered everything as best I could, it was pretty easy for me, thanks to my old life creating games I designed many types of environments and monsters, for that I needed to do a lot of research, so it was easy to answer these questions.

When I'm done I look around and see that the brothers and Kira are responding calmly, Érica seems to be thinking seriously and Ibuki is sleeping on top of the sheet of paper.

I hand the paperwork to Mari and wait for the others to finish, after another hour everyone had finished and handed the sheets to Mari who kept everything in her storage item.

"Now all that's left is the mock battle, follow me." (Mari)
