It's been three days now and everyone has been doing their own thing.

*At the training field*

Jade and the new squad were gathered and about to commence their training.

"Seems like he changed his mind." Jade commented.

"Yeah, thanks to my mom my dad did..." Yeln replied, looking sad. "But he said he can't let Guriel join."

"(Sighs) if that's so, I guess the five of you would do for now. Let's do a quick introduction." Jade said enthusiastically. "Tell us your name and your battle...."

"Did I interrupt something?" Knight Roger asked, walking up to the group.

"Mr Rog, what brings you here?" Jade asked.

"So it's true, you're recruiting teenagers who weren't previously in the army to join your little squad. Why's that?" Knight Roger asked, staring at each one of them.

"Alright is that why you are here? First off, joining the army as at now isn't allowed. Secondly, Peter said no one from the army wants to join the squad, what am I supposed to do?" Jade said, furiously.

"Jade, you are a man with two kids and I think you should know better than this." Knight Roger said, looking straight into Jade's eye. "Your daughter, Selina is a guardian, shouldn't you be helping her master her powers?"

"Of course I'm helping her, what do you think I've been doing all this time?" Jade replied.

"So what's the point of creating this team, If it consist of inexperienced teenagers? You think they'd become better than the army which have been training under Peter for years? You think their parents are as carefree as you are? You think they are as special as you or Selina are? I think you should start doing what's right instead of what you think is right." Roger said and left without wanting Jade to say a word.

"Tsk, (takes a deep breath) As you can see, I'm the only one who thinks this is a good idea. So, Yeln, Pjay and Vedry, you can leave." Jade informed, feeling exhausted.

The trio Jade mentioned didn't move an inch, this caused an awkward vibe in their gathering.

"Did I misspoke or something?" Jade asked tilting his head sideways in confusion.

"I think you're mistaken Mr Jade, we are not doing this because of the elite whatever, we actually just want to train under you instead of captain Peter." Yeln stated as she stepped forward.

"And do you mind if I know why?"Jade asked.

"What else could it be, you are a guardian, the strongest being we've seen so far." Pjay replied.

"In other words you want me to be your personal tutor, ain't happening." Jade said as he went to fetch his glove from where they were in order to leave.

"Common dad! what do you have to lose? Mr Roger was once your personal tutor too." Racle said, persuasively.

'what difference does it make, personal tutor and elite squad leader?' Jade thought to himself. "Alright then, five of you are going to be my personal student starting from today. So get in line and give us a summary of your battle style."

"*Yes sir!!!*"

The five of them quickly formed a semicircle and started introducing themselves.

"My name is Racle, I'm a close combatant as I tend to use my dual sword for sparring." A boy with red blonde hair holding a dual sword by his side putting on a black ninja-like dress said.

"My name is Yeln, just like my dad i specialize in middle and short range attacks and I can also shoot out barrage of fire from my palms for a long period of time." A girl with red ponytail hair dyed at the tip putting on a black jacket said. "And I can also create a transparent shield but not as strong as my mom's."

"My name's is Pjay, I specialize on close and long range combat . My dad, Mr Billy taught me and Vedry some tricks during his free time." A boy with red blonde hair putting on a cavalry armor said, happily.

"My name is Vedry, I'm Pjay cousin." A boy with red spikey hair carrying a black bag said.

"That's it? No style or something?" Selina asked waiting for a response.

"Yeah, I actually don't do stuff like that." Vedry replied.

"Whatever... My name is Selina, I specialize on close and long range combat." A girl with blue braided hair, putting on a normal black glove and a sword by her side said.

"I guess that's it for the introduction. Next up, we're going to have a quick tournament...."

"*Tournament?!*" The group echoed on hearing it.

"Yes, tournament. One: Pjay and Racle will challenge each other while Yeln and Vedry will do the same. Two: whoever wins from this two set will challenge each other. Three: After challenging each other, the winner will then go up against Serina. And last but not the least: whoever wins would have to challenge me." Jade explained. "Any questions?"

"Isn't it pointless, none of us would be able to defeat you." Vedry Stated.

"That's why we are gonna do it with me using none of my powers, how's that?"

"Fair enough." Racle said.

"Get ready for the first match." Jade said as he moved to one side of the field leaving Racle and Pjay at the center.

The two took their stance; Racle brought out his dual sword and covered them with fire while Pjay also covered his fist with fire.

"Ready, fight!" Jade shouted.

At the army training field, Peter had just finished training the army and is been approached by Knight Roger.

"Look who it is! To what do I owe the pleasure, Knight Roger." Peter asked, looking surprised.

"just Roger is fine, I'm no longer a knight. Jade said none of the soldiers are willing to join the elites." Roger said, shaking hands with Peter.

"Can't blame them, no difference in what I teach them and what he would." Peter said proudly as they both take a walk in the field.

"Hmph, tell that to King Saz." Roger said. "What about the backups, any new discovery?"

"So far there's been nothing new, same reports as always." Peter replied.

"Okay, see you some other time." Roger said as he started heading back outside the field.

"Wait just like that..." Peter complained. 'Hmph, same as always.'

Inside a lab, two figures are standing opposite each other experimenting on a dead being.

"You think letting Vedry join the elite squad was a good idea?" Dr Bryan asked.

"Elite squad?(chuckles) Vedry is not that dumb you know and maybe you should start giving him some credit for his cleverness." Mark replied.

"You mean his cunningness." Dr Bryan commented.

"Whatever."

*Knock knock*

The door opened and Saz walked in.

"How's it going?" Saz asked, walking majestically.

"Not much difference from what Visgard reported." Dr Bryan replied.

"But it's kind of strange, there are some cells in there body that's still alive even after a day or two." Mark stated.

"What do you think?" Saz asked.

"I think...." Dr Bryan said, looking at Mark for a confirmation before he continued. "A grogg might be in control of these aliens."

"Why's that?" Saz asked in shock.

"The living cells are like the ones we experimented back then. It's eating them up from the inside and I think that's what's making them rampage. " Mark explained.

"Darn it! What about the weapons?"

"Cindy has prepared enough resources to make them so all we need to do is start making them as soon as we are done with this." Mark replied.

"I need the guns to be available in three weeks, no more than that." Saz ordered.

"Seems like we won't have a need for swords this time." Mark commented.

"Billy already informed Razeki And Maneki village. Their backups should be on their way to Visgard by now." Saz informed. "I'll keep in touch."

"Okay...."

*Boom*

"What was...."

*Boom*
