Chapter 24 - War begins

Hours passed, and all the assassins gathered at the AOMC…

"I have brought all of you here today to brief you on the current situation. There are Martial Artists and allies of the Martial Arts Village headed to our village. As of recent events, we can only assume this as a declaration of war. There are an estimated 15,000 troops, and they are around 5 days out. Tomorrow, all of you will be deployed to the front lines to combat this threat. Spend time with your family. You are all dismissed," The Tenebris said, addressing all the assassins.

The next day at dawn…

"Ding, ding, ding, ding… All assassins are hereby ordered to go to the front lines!" The Tenebris said, ringing a bell.

"Alright team, let's head out," Mr. Sato said as Aerin's team headed toward the front line.

At the front lines…

"Alright team, be safe out there. I will not except any injuries from any of you. Listen to our captain Mr. Hiroki. He is the captain of the whole front line so I expect you to listen to him, I will do the same."

A few minutes later…

"Looks like Mr. Hiroki is about to start the briefing. Listen up."

"Hello my name is Mr. Hiroki. I will be your commander. I understand that all of you have a squad leader and some of you even still have your instructor's, but I'm in charge now. I will except no casualties and expect you to be on guard at all times. According to intelligence the enemy is still three and a half days out. We will take the fight to them tomorrow, get some rest I'll see you tomorrow," Mr. Hiroki said with confidence.

Later that night in our main character's dreams…

"Aerin! Aerin! Be prepared for tomorrow. The enemy will have a powerful warrior that only you will be able to defeat. I will let you borrow an infinitesimal amount of my Aru. You will need to use one of your bloodline's abilities, you have no choice," a mysterious voice told Aerin as he slept.

Then Aerin woke up and saw something strange. A light that had no source began to leave the battlefield…

The next day…

"Everyone prepared to bring the fight to our foes?" Mr. Hiroki asked.

The troops all yelled, "Yes!" as our main character and the whole army began running toward the enemy…
