Chapter 1: Another Night Raid
Nagisa woke up to the sound of a chiming bell. 'Another enemy raid again,' Nagisa thought while rubbing his eyes.
He quickly hopped out of his bed and put on his grey uniform and a tunic with a colour similar to his light blue hair. Rushing out, he grabbed his sword and ran down to the front gate of the town he lived in.
He found the rest of the Town E Trainees, steadying themselves.
"Brace yourselves!" Nagisa yelled as he took a defensive stance with his sword.
The gate suddenly broke open, metal and wooden bits flying towards the trainees. "Attack!" Nagisa yelled to his comrades as he rushed forwards, hitting and dodging all the wooden and metal chunks that were flying towards him.
As he was running, he saw the Town A Trainees charging up towards him. Preparing himself, he readied his sword... And got sent flying across the air, landing right at the feet of one of his comrades, Kaede Kayano.
"Hey Nagisa, are you all right?" asked his green haired friend frowning at him.
"Yeah I'm okay, I guess," replied Nagisa clutching his chest, where the war hammer had hit him. "You should join the rest of them, our teammates are going to need all the help they need."
"Right!" Kayano said as she began running towards the rest of the trainees, who seemed to be on the losing side.
Grunting and clutching his chest, Nagisa got up and used his sword as a walking cane. Just as he finally was able to take a step, he found two hairy balls, one brown and one blond ball flying towards... FLYING TOWARDS HIM!
"OH GOD!" Nagisa yelled, attempting to run away.
For the second time that night, Nagisa landed on his back. Breathing irregularly, he attempted to tell his comrades to get off him.
"Get off," Nagisa said, stammering as he was squashed from the weight of his two teammates. His body was as frail as it was and he didn't want it to be broken into multiple pieces or flattened.
His comrades seemed to understand what he was attempting to say and they rolled off his trembling body.
"Geez Nagisa, are you okay? You just got squashed by Terasaka and me after all!" Rio Nakamura asked. "I mean, I don't weigh that much so you being squashed under an enormous weight was probably due to Terasaka."
"Are you implying I'm fat?!" Terasaka said with his face red and visibly angry as he stood up, readying his war hammer.
"Guys, stop fighting! We're supposed to be taking Town A out, not ourselves!"
"Everyone, fall back!" yelled Isogai (The male representative of Town E) as a loud war cry was heard with a few people flying across the battlefield, most of them almost landing on Nagisa.
Everyone came dashing to where Nagisa was.
"Nagisa, are you fine and can you still run?" asked Isogai, visibly worried while looking behind him and at Nagisa while crouching down.
"I think so, why?"
"Cause Kataoka and I just came up with a new idea," Isogai hurriedly explained to Nagisa. "We're gonna rush them from the side streets, Kataoka noticed that Asano, (Town A's only representative.) Put the Five Terrors and the stronger people at the front and put the weakest at the back. It's like we're killing them from the inside!"
"I don't think so," said a dark voice from above them. It was Asano himself. The famed son of the most powerful man in the country. The First Terror, founder of the Five Terrors team and the wielder of the fourth most powerful weapon in the world, the Orange Ace.
"We'll be taking your gold now."
The Five Terrors other four members were snickering from behind Asano.
Nagisa's hope died right there. This had happened fifteen times this month and Town E, (Which had only the trainees, just like the other towns.) was, at this rate, going to be destroyed and the inhabitants were going to have to return to the city, the very place where they were shunned from.
The Next Day
The Town E inhabitants were busy trying to clean up the gore from the previous night and were trying to fix up the gate (For the sixteenth time.) when they noticed a yellow creature watching them from the front entrance of the training centre.
"Who are you?" Sugino Tomohito (One of Nagisa's best friends.) asked the creature.
"Who am I? I am your new teacher."
