Noah Orion's POV
"So, then young master from when are we starting?",
Lyra constantly annoyed me with this question.
"Not now. Tomorrow.",
I said with a stern face.
"Why? Why not today?",
She asked while pouting.
"I have some important work, so not today.", I said.
"Hmm, alright. Then I will follow you.",
She said.
"Alright suit yourself.", I said as I then started to work towards Ellie.
"Ellie did the people I told you about have you recruited yet.", I asked.
"Yes sir, it is done and the construction of the place has also begin.",
She said while mopping the floor.
"Good.", I replied.
"What construction?",
Lyra asked suddenly.
"I want to meet them.", I said as I ignored her.
"Alright, young master, I will arrange it for you.",
Ellie replied.
"Why can't nobody hear me?",
She asked suddenly looking like she just had a mental breakdown.
"We can see you Lyra.",
Ellie said.
"How are you, Ellie?",
Lyra asked.
"I am good."
"How are you?"
Ellie asked.
"Very good, I am just going to be this young master's teacher after all.",
She said while smiling.
"Ahh! Its good new then, we can hang out just like the old times.",
Ellie said enthusiastically.
"Yes, like the old times.",
Lyra said reminiscing.
"By the way, did anyone from the branch family contact you?", I asked.
"Yes, there were few.", she said.
"Also, master Edgar, has decided to join you.",
She said.
'Edgar, hah! This is going to be fun', I thought.
"Let's go and meet them then.", I said as I started to walk.
…..
As I have reached the training grounds there were seven people.
"Young master, let me first introduce you to these people."
Ellie said as she called all of them.
"First is Thane Warhammer, he was in the army and then retired. He is a sapphire rank and is level 4. He was the power known as 'Sharp edge'."
"Hello, nice to meet you.", I said.
"Thank you, sir.", he replied.
As we Shaked, our hands I could feel the callouses in his hands which indicated he uses an axe.
"So, you use an axe.", I said with a smile.
"How did you know, sir?",
He asked me as he was confused.
"Your callouses are not like someone who uses sword or spear.", as I said it I saw his eyes started to glow in fascination.
Ellie continued,
"Next is Kellan Steelshield, he was a dungeon hunter and joined us to help us. He is a sapphire rank and level 4, and has a skill known as 'Life detection'."
"Thank you for joining us. We will for sure need your help and help you grow stronger", I said as I shaked his hand.
"HA! HA! Sir no issue, I am happy to help.",
He said loudly.
"Next is Sable Stormblade, she was a general in the army and is very good strategist, she is Alexandrite- rank and is level 6. Her skill allows her to place a pin from where she can see several locations.",
"It's nice to have you around and you will be a huge help.", I said.
Then I went on to introduce myself to everyone.
We had Terra Stratos, who was a sapphire rank and was level 5, she had the skill 'Earth hands.'
Then we had Aria Windsong, who was an alexandrite rank and was level 5, she had the skill call of the wind.
Then we had Darian Frostbane, who was a sapphire rank and was level 5, he had the skill, 'Ice lance'.
Then at last it was Edgar Orion,
"Edgar, how are you?", I asked.
"Not good, but I will give it my all to learn.",
He said sternly.
'He really is like him, huh?', I thought.
"Don't worry, we will all help you to grow stronger so you can protect you loved one.", I said to him.
So, I took a step back and said,
"I just awakened yesterday. So, lot of you may have doubts about me being your leader. So, I have decided, I will spar you guys to show my determination about this team is strong."
"What, young master?",
Ellie said as she was confused.
"He is really crazy.",
Lyra said with a smile on her face.
"HA! HA!, This is what I am talking about.",
Thane Warhammer said.
"I admit you are not like the other successors who treat their teammate like shit.",
Kellan Steelshield said.
"Alright, this is going to be fun.",
Aria Windsong said.
"Please go easy on me.",
Terra Stratos said.
"As I am strategist, I don't want to spar in a physical match but in a game of chess, I am all for it.",
Sable Stormblade said.
"I will show what our family is famous for.",
Darian Frostbane said.
"The wind is chaotic around you, so I will think about it.",
Aria Windsong said.
"I will try my best.",
Edgar said.
"Alright we will do it one by one.", I said.
As I took my jacket off and went to take a wooden sword.
"First, I will fight Thane.", I said.
"Yes, very good.",
He said as he then picked up two axes from the stand and stood in the training ground opposite of me.
"When did so much stuff happen?",
Ellie asked looking more confused.
"Don't worry, if anything happens I will intervene and save him.",
Lyra said
"Also, I want to see how strong you are and how much I the prophecy true.",
Lyra thought.
"Alright, are you ready Thane?", I asked.
"Yes young master.",
He replied.
"Then fight."
Lyra announced and we both took our stance.
….
Somewhere in a basement: -
"So, how are we going to assassinate him?", another assassin asked Ragnar.
"When he will be out in the dungeon?", Ragnar said.
"I have got confirmation as to which dungeon they are going to be in?", another masked woman said.
"Where?", Ragnar asked.
"In the troll one.", she said.
"Is the potion ready, yet?", Ragnar asked.
"Don't worry it will be soon.", a man in a dark robe with a wand said.
Ragnar then suddenly stabbed the dagger in the table.
"Just you wait, Noah Orion. I will kill you", he said.
