Elite Camp, Arthur's Pardon

"What do you think would happen?" One of the students asked, They were curious about where the two were going. The two of them were called by Gilgamesh and this made them curious about why Gilgamesh called them. A while later another student answered the question.

"Maybe It's because of Arthur?" The Student that answered the question wasn't sure about this which is why he was skeptical about the thing he said. This was the only possible problem he could find so he told the students about it. Hearing what the student said, All of them nodded in agreement.

"But why is Miss. Elizabeth called with Arthur?" Another question appeared, Which made them think again. They knew why Arthur was called by Gilgamesh but why is Elizabeth also called with Arthur. A while of thinking made them think that it was not possible for Elizabeth to cause a problem, The answer was heard when Krej spoke.

"It is probably Arthur, Elizabeth was called probably due to the fact that she was also a student of Master Merlin." Krej said, He was thinking about this answer of his and this made him confident in his answer. His words were clearly heard by other people but there was one problem, Douche spoke towards Krej in a panic.

"Krej, Are you okay? When did you become Smart? Are you even Krej?" The Words came from Douche was Worried then Surprise then Suspicion. Hearing what Douche said towards him, Krej was piss since the bastard thought of him like an idiot who doesn't know anything about the world.

"That is possible." Morgana spoke with her calm voice, This was a possible answer. It was impossible for her master to cause a problem so it must be someone's else problem and this someone else is Arthur. She thought about it for a while until she heard the voice of another student.

"But there is another mystery, How did they manage to be together without fighting." The student asked, All of them knew how Arthur's mind works. He didn't want to hurt or kill anyone and with the combination of Elizabeth who was merciless. How did the two not fight each other with different mindsets?

"That is a good question." Douche said, This was a surprising question and a hard one to answer. After the two left the cafeteria, All of the students gathered in one place to talk about the current events. This was why all of them were talking to each other and quickly got the answers.

"There is a rumor?" Bond said, He was the quiet one and when he speaks about something. This would be about fighting or rankings between students, He was currently quiet due to the existence of Elizabeth which destroyed his way of being at the top. He didn't know what to do but the only thing he knew is to work for the greatest student. If he cannot be the greatest, He would work for the greatest.

"What rumor?" Krej asked the question that everyone wanted to asked, They nodded together when they heard what Krej said, They also wanted to know the rumor Bond was talking about. Even Morgana and Jeanne wanted to know about the rumor, Bond sighed at seeing them and spoke with a serious voice.

"This is considered to be a secret so I hope you won't speak about it, This is a piece of common knowledge but most of you would probably know it." Bond said towards everyone with a serious voice, This was a piece of common knowledge but with the current information they got. They will probably solve the current puzzle in front of them.

"It happened last year, Thousands of men disappeared from multiple cities in one night. All of them were not found and many witnesses said that explosions were heard in the distance. The Imperial Police never found anything about explosions and everything around the area was normal, This case was considered to be close." Bond stop for a while and continued.

"During this time, was the time where Elizabeth the second student of Merlin disappeared from the world. Master Merlin was known to be roaming around during that time and her student just disappeared like a puff of smoke. This was when rumors spread, A Not good rumor." Bond stops again and the students around him stare at him like they wanted to strangle him for stopping.

"It was known that Elizabeth was the reason why the Thousands of Men disappeared, There was a good rumor about Elizabeth traveling in the Grassland that was in the way of the Thousands of Men. Most of the men that were heading there were criminals that were supposed to raid a village." Bond said a lot of things about the Thousands of men, It was said in the investigation that most of them were thugs and criminals.

"This is just a theory but judging from how Elizabeth's attitude." Bond said, All of them knew what Elizabeth's attitude was. Seeing how she does things, They could compare a lot of things and arrive at a good conclusion. Before Bond could continue, Morgana already solved the puzzle.

"Master massacred all the criminals that was about to raid the village.." Morgana said with a calm voice. All the students finally realize a piece of Elizabeth's history in the World of Primus, This was a Piece that made them more afraid and Idolize Elizabeth at the same time.

"Do you know why you're here?" Gilgamesh asked the two students that were currently in his office, The two students in front of him was the top of the Elite Class. One is a merciless girl that was supposed to be trained into a killing machine, The other one is a young man that didn't want to kill anyone causing problems.

This was Arthur and Elizabeth. Arthur was wearing his own clothes, His Blond Hair and Azure blue eyes were avoiding Gilgamesh's stare. Right beside him was a girl and this was Elizabeth. The two of them were in front of Gilgamesh waiting for him to continue his words.

She was wearing the Elite Camp Uniform, Her White Silver Shorthair and her Golden eyes that were covered by her eyeglasses were making her beauty more noticeable. Her White Collared Shirt was covered by a Black Uniform, She also had the belt that was supposed to be important with the uniform. Her Skirt was black in color and had white stripes on it. She was very calm and was still waiting for what Gilgamesh wanted to say.

The two of them were currently in Gilgamesh's office, This office was filled with expensive things like the office he got in the city of Babylon. A large problem appeared so he called the two students that were the cause of it. Seeing that the student's attention was on him, He spoke about the things he wanted to asked.

"Arthur, You didn't pass the test. You will be dropped out tomorrow." Gilgamesh said towards Arthur with a serious voice, This wasn't something to be laughing at. A prodigy was drop out on the first day of the test, It was a slap towards the Master of the Prodigy and the Empire.

"W-what?" Arthur was shocked and surprised, He failed the test but the reasons were clear. His brain is probably not working well if he thought that he managed to pass the test. Elizabeth who was right beside Arthur sighed, She knew the reason for Arthur's failure in the test and it was obvious. She didn't have the power to decide to pass the test or not so there was nothing she could do.

"You didn't kill one of the criminals during the test so you failed at it." Gilgamesh said with a blunt tone towards Arthur who was surprised, He failed at the Elite test. His dreams of becoming the strongest Magic Krieger were slowly going to collapse, But before he could speak a thing about it he heard Elizabeth's voice.

"Sir, Isn't there still a chance. He is a talented Magic Krieger." Elizabeth said towards Gilgamesh, Arthur was still a student of Merlin. She wanted to pay Merlin by only Helping Arthur for one time. Gilgamesh hearing what Elizabeth said furrowed his brows, Elizabeth felt a chill from her spine and knew that she fucked up.

"I'm sorry for the disrespect Teacher." Elizabeth apologized to Gilgamesh, It has been a while but Elizabeth was calling him sir like he was a stranger. The one who was supposed to train her was called sir not teacher, It was a disrespect to the teacher. Gilgamesh was an easygoing guy but if his job requires it, Discipline is needed.

"Elizabeth you lack discipline, The important part of becoming a soldier is discipline and control. You fail on the two things, You have them but you end up breaking them." Gilgamesh said towards Elizabeth, Hearing what Gilgamesh was a huge hit to Elizabeth. She knew the importance of Control and Discipline, This was the first thing she thought when surviving but now that she was powerful. She forgot the importance of the two things.

"I'm sorry teacher, It seems that when I became powerful. My discipline and control ended up breaking themselves." Elizabeth was honest about her mistakes, She wouldn't bother hiding them and would seek help in order to not repeat the same mistake. This was one of her Motto and it was very important to talk about mistakes before accomplishments.

"It seems that you understand your mistakes and is brave enough to apologize for it, Speak about the thing you wanted to say." Gilgamesh had a smile on his face, This was his potential student. It was obvious for her to be not perfect but the important thing is the fact that she accepted the mistakes and seek guidance for it.

"Arthur only needed to Desensitize himself to death." Elizabeth said about her own plan, This was one of the plans she had to desensitize someone on death. This was not a good thing for the one that becomes the subject but she didn't care, She will pay Merlin the help she was given by helping Arthur for once.

"Continue." Gilgamesh said with a curious voice, He was interested in the plan of desensitizing someone to death. There were many things that could desensitize someone but he was curious about his potential student's plan, Elizabeth then spoke calmly towards Gilgamesh.

"The only way to desensitize Arthur is to force him to see death." Elizabeth said with a calm and gentle voice but the things she said were really bad. It would really be bad for Arthur if Elizabeth's plan gets a pass from Gilgamesh, It might even be the same as ordinary torture but only the mind gets tortured.

"Don't do that, There are many ways to desensitize someone, You will probably break the boy." Gilgamesh didn't agree with what Elizabeth came up with, It was no different from Torture and this wasn't in the agreement of the Legendary Magic Kriegers. He then sighed and spoke about Arthur's fate.

"I will try to convince the others to let Arthur stay, Arthur you are lucky. Please leave before I change my mind and you better change yourself or else you won't last in this Elite Training Camp." Gilgamesh said towards Arthur who was in silence, he didn't speak about anything and was just thinking about the reason he failed. He was a coward who doesn't want to kill, How does he become the strongest Magic Krieger if he was just a coward? Arthur then began heading towards the door while Elizabeth followed him.

"Elizabeth, Don't leave. We have many things to discuss and this will be about your future and your training." Gilgamesh stops Elizabeth before she left the office, It was about the Executer training of Elizabeth. He was told to train Elizabeth in an Executer training, Specialize on killing Magic Kriegers that defected.

Hope you like it.
