Aerion woke up and realized he was back in Zlateria, "you go to be kidding me he said"
He realized the hostel was very quiet and he stood up to look around that was when he noticed a note on the small shared fridge "We have gone to get matched with our weapon"
He was tempted to just stay indoors but instead he picked up his suit and stared at it for a while. He knew he had to get exhausted here for him to be able to catch a break and go home.
He got up and put on his rather tight suit and walked to the door, he opened it and stood there for a minute, "Here goes nothing" he said to himself and walked out.
By the time he got there, they had already started handing out weapons according to ranks, There was a variety of blades to chose from based on one rank which was equivalent to ones strength.
I was a very rowdy event, He spotted Nyra at the far end holding what seemed like a large two bladed knife and she played with the weapon trying to get acquainted with it. He walked up to the front and joined the line.
From where he stood he could see the unique machine that they got into, it would check your weight, height and muscle strength to effectively match one to a desired machine and then gave you a choice of weapons with different flame aura but within your rank for you to chose from.
People that were good with knifes went for swords and those that were good with guns went for it or they just basically picked whatever they loved. He stood there halfheartedly, he did not want to be there for any reason whatsoever but he just forced himself to stay put.
Finally it was his turn to go and get matched with his weapon, everyone was actually expecting it because they had never seen an Infinity Weapon in a while and was wondering what it would actually turn out to be.
Aerion walked hesitantly to the machine and stepped on it. holding his heart in his hand, he stood on the machine and to everyone held their breath preparing to see an amazing weapon but after the analysis he was ranked a G and given two fire pistols.
"Clearly you are not physically fit to be handle a rank Zero weapon and as such you need to start from what you can handle, a G rank" Alita said with a little more excitement than she intended to show. She had hated his guts from the moment he was ranked an Infinity. She was expecting with her progress she was going to be the next infinity rank.
Aerion came down from the machine and Nyra came up to meet him. "Don't be so sad, I am sure you will work your way up to it eventually"
"I am not sad" Aerion replied quietly, actually he was delighted that he could not get the weapon, now much was not really expected from him
Alita cleared her throat on the mic and drew everyone's attention back to her. "Now that you are done being matched with your weapons, we will begin training in earnest because we do not have anytime to waste, The Cryovore volcano will erupt any moment from now and we all have to be ready."
Silence fell over the entire arena, they could all sense things were getting serious from here on out and they were preparing their mind for it.v
"You will be divided into special teams just for this training but you must still maintain your primary team members, your roommates and protect them with your lives.
They all were divided into three teams, those with blades and those with guns and those with both
Aerion joined the team for gun training and their instructor was captain Alita. She started very intense with them. Teaching them how to assemble a scattered gun from scratch and Aerion was failing slowly and moving at a rather slow speed making every one slow.
"You cannot handle this simple task?" Alita yelled at him, "How are you supposed to survive in the battle field? Is this really what an Infinity rank was made of?" She mocked him getting him all worked up and making him rather slower.
"You will remain here until you finish this task while the rest will move on to the next thing, I can't have you slowing us down, we do not have this much time to waste.
"This is my first time, holding a gun" Aerion yelled back at her, "can't you be more patient or king with your words?"
"With that attitude of yours you will not last here" she said and turned to leave him and in anger he used his hand to fling the gun parts in her direction and the gun assembled and she turned in fear as everyone looked stunned and gasped with their mouth open wide.
Aerion just stood there full of burning rage, quite literally
