SICARII

It was a grueling 6-hour run, but eventually, every student had completed the challenge. Mr. Piock led the class back into the classroom where they met with Mr. Brozo, the inner teacher, who was going to provide a comprehensive breakdown of what the next 8 months in the agency school would entail.

Mr. Brozo strode into the classroom with a commanding presence, causing everyone to hush up. "Greetings, everyone. I see Mr. Piock has been putting you through your paces. Before we wrap up this week, I want to give you a thorough rundown of what the next eight months will entail leading up to your induction into the agency.

For the first 3-4 months, you'll be repeating today's endurance run while also learning hand-to-hand combat and weapon training. It's crucial for sicarii to be proficient with specialized weapons, even if you prefer not to use them frequently.

By month four, you should have a solid grasp on your inner, but complete control is not expected until later.

From month four to five, we'll embark on an intensive training camp in Old Labre, which will prepare you for the final three months.

After returning from the camp, we'll have a showcase where you can flaunt your skills to organizations from around the world.

They'll be selecting candidates to join them for three months, and during that time, you'll be completing actual missions for them. Don't worry, they won't throw you into the deep end without proper preparation."

"Do you guys have any questions?"

As Mr. Brozo listened to the first student's question, he couldn't help but smile at the student's eagerness to learn. "Ah, a good question," he said, "By 'wrap it up for the week', I mean that we will conclude our training session for this week. As you might have noticed, the training we do here is extremely demanding on the body, so we don't train every day. It's important for your body to recover fully before you undergo the next training session. This way, you will be able to improve on the progress you made during the previous session."

Mr. Brozo then turned to address the rest of the students, who had their hands raised high in anticipation. "I see we have a lot more questions," he chuckled, "Well, let's hear them, shall we?" As he fielded each question, he did his best to provide detailed and informative answers.

"As for what you can do on your days off, there's plenty to keep you occupied in the city," he continued, "You can explore the local area, try out the food, go shopping, or simply relax. And of course, we'll be giving you a tour of our Agency HQ, where you can meet some of the world's top sicarii. Who knows, you might even learn a thing or two from them."

The students looked excited at the prospect of meeting some of the best sicarii in the world. Mr. Brozo smiled at their enthusiasm.

"Well, I think that's enough questions for today. I hope I was able to give you some insight into what's in store for you in the coming months. Train hard and stay focused, and I'm sure you'll all do great."

After a few hours of rest, Taizen met up with Luna and Ragra at the entrance of the school. They were eager to explore the city as it was their first time in Labre. As they walked towards the exit, they noticed Mionara sitting on a bench outside the school, staring off into the sunset.

Mionara was known to be quiet and reserved, with a cold persona that made it difficult for others to approach him. However, Ragra was not deterred by this and approached Mionara, asking if he would be willing to give them a tour of the city since he was born and raised in Labre.

To their surprise, Mionara agreed without hesitation. As they walked through the city, Mionara remained silent, but he had a keen eye for the best spots to visit. They explored the vibrant city, sampling local food and drinks, and taking in the sights of the towering skyscrapers and advanced technology that was unique to Labre.

As they walked, Luna and Ragra tried to make conversation with Mionara, but he remained mostly quiet, only offering short answers. However, they could sense that he was enjoying the company, even if he didn't express it outwardly.

They visited popular landmarks and historic sites, including the famous Labre Museum of Art and Culture. Mionara shared stories and facts about the city's rich history, architecture, and culture.

Eventually, as the night grew darker, they found themselves at the edge of the city, overlooking the vast ocean. Luna broke the silence, "This is beautiful, Mionara. How did you know about this place?"

Mionara looked out into the horizon and finally spoke up, "I used to come here to clear my head. It's a peaceful place."

Ragra chimed in, "It's amazing how much you know about this city, Mionara. You should give more tours like this."

Mionara gave a small smile, "Maybe I will."

As they walked back towards the school, Luna, Ragra, and Taizen felt a sense of gratitude towards Mionara. They realized that despite his cold demeanor, he had a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer. They hoped that they could continue to break through his tough exterior and get to know him better throughout their time at the academy.

The first week of the program had ended, and the students were eager to delve deeper into the world of sicarii. However, the instructors had wisely decided to give the students some time to recuperate and relax before diving into intense training once again. As the days went by, the students took advantage of this time by exploring the city, practicing their abilities, and engaging in light workouts to keep themselves in top shape. They were determined to be ready for the next phase of their training, and made sure to take advantage of every opportunity to improve themselves. In the evenings, they would gather together to exchange tips and tricks, discussing their goals and aspirations as sicarii. With each passing day, they grew closer as a group, building a sense of camaraderie that would serve them well in the months to come.
