“So, should we head to the elevator?” Towa asked.
“Nope.”
Fingers Clicked.
The floor opens from beneath from all of you.
Nani?
Uriah staggered back, attempting to avoid the sudden drop, but he had been caught off guard; he dropped.
Rhosyn stumbled, trying to grab for the floor above, but dropped down and landed on her back.
“Perfect start to my day, falling through a hole in the floor.”
This was certainly… unexpected to say it lightly. The fall was a bit rough for Aleksei, but he still got up.
“Is everyone alright?” Towa asked, landing on her feet. She had an apologetic look on her face, before looking forward and unholstering her pistol from her hip, firing two shots… [Attack] [Attack]
The two winged-squirrel…kitten-like things that none of you had noticed fell onto the ground, and dispersed into tiny crystals.
As suspected, she isn’t that normal either, is she?
(Crackle)
“Yoo hoo! Einhel Keep, Level 0 Training has officially begun. Please move forward t-”
“Shut the hell up and get along already. The clock stops for no one.”

“In the battlefield, all of you must be prepared for any circumstances that come your way.” The Instructor stated.
(Waking in 8 hours.)
“First rule.”
“I can’t say this is entirely what I expected though. If anyone wants to say ‘I told you so’, do it now instead of when it actually is a problem”
Aleksei fully stands up, biting his lip in the process. “I’m just going to say this, I’m glad we’re doing something, even if it means being thrown to the wolves.”
“Still…this seems a bit…uncharacteristic of a first exercise. I don’t know about the rest of you but this seems entirely out of place?” Threnvi expression betrays their words, as it is deeply focused.

Aleksei is pumping his arms up and down, ready to begin the brawl. “Seems about a trial by fire. They called us ‘Special Operations’ earlier so it makes sense to literally throw us into the ring.”
“I mean… it is a military academy mm? I guess that’s fair, I didn’t really expect to fall 10 feet today.” She clenched her fists then started rubbing off her blades with her shirt.
“Likely a linear test, planned to work even with a lack of focus on teamwork. Working at least not in a way to completely step on the toes of other people would be most efficient.”
“Well… it is a military academy after all.” Towa laughs nervously. She wasn’t exactly ready for this kind of craziness, but she should have expected it, as after all, this wasn’t her first time in an underground building, except she’s now the instructor.
“I’ll take point. After the first encounter, one of you will take point.” She held out her gun with both hands, and started leading the way. The corridor seemed to turn at a corner after all. And where they were at, six [Flying Felines] were circulating around in the room.
“There are monsters after that turn. 6 more of those which I shot down. So, this will be your first battle. Are you all ready?”
The flying felines have not noticed you yet. These felines have wings, and their beady eyes seem to show no indication of where they are truly looking at.

Battle Part II
The Break Gauge is present for each and every enemy, as well as a hidden gauge for each and every one of you when fighting another human enemy. When this gauge is depleted, said enemy/ally will not be able to act the following turn, is delayed and every attack/craft that hits them will guarantee a follow-up attack.
Follow Up Attacks are made by unbalancing the enemy or by dealing critical damage. Strike them with attacks they’re weak against for another ally to also strike at them for additional damage. This will earn you Brave Points in which you can use to Rush to strike at a group of enemies near the first attacker, or Unite for all enemies to be damaged by all party members. Each of them Cost different amounts of Brave Points, so be careful.
Shurian Tip: You do not need more than this to beat the current enemies. May Aidios be with you all.

Rhosyn bent her knees, settling into a fighting stance, and pulled both her swords out of their sheaths. She looked over at Uriah. “Ready.”
Aleksei takes a nice step back with his right foot, bending his left leg. He pulls out his knife with his right hand, holding it to his side. “Ready.”
