Alva was on Azure Deer´s base, resting in his room when an envelope sled under his doors. Knowing what that was, he made a brief sound of excitement and rushed to get the envelope. Receiving missions like this wasn’t very common, but young mage found it extremely engaging to have the mission objects delivered in such a manner. Reading briefly through the letter, he had to stop a couple times as he got easily distracted by something else that was happening outside on the meadows surrounding the base. Couple of squirrels were apparently fighting over something and his first impulse was to rush towards them. Thankfully this time, Alva managed to have some introspection and realized that they would probably just run away by the time he arrived. He was a little hesitant to finish reading, as this was his first mission ever, since he joined the Magic Knights and he wanted to perform really well, to not embarrass his family and his squad. Given his nature, it was very likely he would embarrass one or another and therefore decided to be very careful and think everything through.
Packing only his bubble pipe, putting on the mantle, he rushed to garden, from where he would ride his broom to close town of Kikka. The thing about Azure base was that it was really close to everything, and it made the transportation that much bearable. The objective of the mission was rather clear, watching over the marketplaces in Kikka. Alva knew that there would be another companion joining him, which was calming as those markets are enormous and the amount of people would make it really hard for one junior to keep an eye on the order over the whole place. Alva knew Kikka very well, as his parents used to take him there for markets since his early years, it was one of few places outside of Noble Realm he was familiar with. Meeting point was on one of the watchtowers that surrounded the city, which made sense as the amount of people in the streets would make it really hard to meet up. After flying for some time, in a distance he could see the spectacular town Kikka was, in some ways it was almost surprising it resided in Common region as it was really well-taken care of. Alva carefully flew to one of the watchtowers, that was located under the main entrance gate, and decided he would wait for his teammate there. “Ooh if I remember right Purple Orcas have base here, maybe one of them will join me?” Talking to himself wasn’t anything unusual, as he was just trying to make time pass quicker, full of anticipation of meeting new friend as well as completing his first mission.

Alva is waiting on a guard tower over the main gate to the city.
[attr="class","silasreescroll"]While on his quest to become an intermediate magic knight, Taiyo hadn’t forgotten where he started out. His first mission was a patrol and he figured he’d do it again. Bandits were quite common and this time he was more prepared for the job. He was a Junior 1st Rank Magic Knight after all and that meant that the next few stars he received from missions would give him enough to graduate and become an Intermediate 5th Rank Magic Knight. He browsed through the list of missions hoping to find the patrol one again since it was one that was frequently requested. Finding the job, he smiled. Maybe he should invite someone to go with him this time but it wasn’t exactly necessary. Grabbing the job, he sat down and got a feather and some ink and wrote to his cousin Alva who was a member of the Azure Deer squad. He figured they could do the mission together since it had been awhile since they last interacted. After writing the mail, he sent it to the Azure Deer Headquarters through using the magic mail system. Once it was sent, he stood up and walked over to the room he had at the Crimson Lions Headquarters. He didn’t stay there most days but he would put some of his things there for ease of access. Included in his stuff was his broom, his sword though he walked with that and had rested down while he searched the mission board, and a few other cosmetic things like clothes. Equipping the sword and grabbing the broom, he smiled. Cyra, let’s go. We have a mission. The boy called out to his spirit who appeared. “Very well. Let’s go.” She landed on Taiyo’s head which she frequented. Smiling, the boy walked out of the Crimson Lions Headquarters and hopped on his broom. We will be teaming up with the Azure Deer Squad hopefully. That’s if Alva got my letter. He’s one of my cousins but I hardly see him. He started flying towards Kikka. “Is that so? Why is that, Taiyo?” Well other than being heir and my duties, I guess you can say he isn’t around the main area very much but I hope to see him at the family banquet that’s happening soon. Everyone will probably be there. Taiyo had good relations with most people in his family. Even though they weren’t exactly close, he loved them all and he enjoyed whenever they met up. Even if he was closest to Leonard, he wanted strong bonds with everyone. “Much on your mind?” The solar bird spirit asked as she flew next to him. Yeah, just thinking about my family actually. He looked over at her and smiled. “You surely love them. I see the way you speak to them and about them. There is someone that puzzles me though. Whenever you speak of her, it is different. This person you seem to hate in your family.” Taiyo sighed a bit. He didn’t hate Leona but she was everything that he needed to surpass. She was the one who made him question everything because of the way she was. She was always blunt and harsh yet he knew deep down she meant well and loved him. He also loved her but she had to remain his drive, at least for now anyway. Oh, you mean my sister Leona? I don’t hate her. Quite the opposite actually. She’s just really tough and powerful. She is the person I want to impress the most. She’s always been the one to show me that I have to keep getting stronger. Cyra kept flapping her wings as she observed her companion. “I see. It’s quite odd but it is what it is.”
[break][break]
Arriving in Kikka, Taiyo looked up at the towers to see if he saw Alva there. It would make more sense to be somewhere that was visible. If he wasn’t there, he’d go to the square which would be the next possible place to be. It didn’t take long for him to spot the other Vermillion and flew towards him. I hope you weren’t waiting long, Alva. It was I who wrote the letter to you. I jumped off my broom as Cyra hovered next to me. I want you to officially meet Cyra. She’s the Solar spirit. The bird observed the Azure Deer Vermillion before speaking. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” When all the introductions get out of the way, Taiyo would smile. Time to get to patrolling. Bandits are usually around a lot but with the two of us, we can take them down quite quickly if they decide to appear. Hopping onto his broom, Taiyo descended from the tower and onto the floor. He walked through the marketplace with his cousin while stopping to speak to a merchant, it was the merchant he had helped during his first patrol. Hey. It’s been a while since I’ve been here. How’s business? The man smiled as he looked at Taiyo and Alva. “Lord Vermillion, Sir Vermillion, it’s quite the pleasure. Business has been great. It’s thanks to you Magic Knights as well.” Cyra landed on Taiyo’s head as she didn’t see the need to keep hovering as the Magic Knight conversed with the merchant. No need to call me Lord Vermillion. Just call me Taiyo. Anyway, I’m glad that business is going well. Just wanted to patrol the area once again to discourage bandits.
[break][break]
Moments after chatting with the merchant, a woman cried out for help. “HELP! PLEASE HELP!” Alerted to the cry, Taiyo spun around and dashed in the direction of the sound. Cyra took flight and flew ahead trying to get a bird’s eye view of the situation. There was a group of bandits taking stuff from a young woman who had bags of items in her possession. These rough men didn’t care about that though, they wanted what she had and were willing to harm her to get it. The fire mage of the group had his grimoire open as his hand out to harm the woman. Rushing in, Taiyo immediately got his grimoire ready. Hearing the Magic Knight, the other bandits took off with the stuff they got from the woman while the fire mage turned his attention to Taiyo. “Fire Magic: Flame Stream!” The bandit conjured up a fire in his hand and shot it out at the Crimson lion. The fire turned into a flame about 5 cubic meters large. As the fire came at him, Taiyo’s grimoire opened up, turning to one of his new spells. Solar Creation Magic: Solaris Sphere! As Taiyo held his palms out to the incoming fire stream, a perfect ball bigger than the beam formed. He released the ball, watching it tear through the man’s attack, striking him for intermediate damage before he could do anything. That’s one down, three more to go. Taiyo went to the lady and helped her up. Don’t worry, we will recover your things.

Alva was casually waiting on the watchtower, looking at the situation, searching for every possible person with a Magic Knight´s mantle from above. What surprised him very pleasantly was that Taiyo showed up and revealed that this mission was in fact organized by himself and that he invited Alva personally. Alva could probably also find that in the letter he received, if he had the attention span capable of finishing the reading. With a big smile, showing a visible excitement of meeting his cousin young mage just energetically raised his hand and started waving when they were approaching. “Taiyo! What a great surprise! We haven’t seen each other in such a long time!” At first, bubble mage was expecting to meet a new people, but given his relationships within the Vermillion family, this might have been even better. After brief introductions, Alva set his sight on the spectacular spirit that was following Taiyo around. “Nice to meet you Cyra, I am sure you and my cousin are a great company to each other!” Alva never thought about having a spirit himself, mostly because he had no idea how that could happen, but seeing that his cousin has a spirit gave him some hope, that he would eventually find a companion himself.
“How is Leona? How are the Crimson Lions? Ever since I joined Azure Deer I never got a chance to get in touch.” Alva sounded very apologetic, which he was, even though he knew that there was nothing to apologize for, as it was a life of a Magic Knight, and him willingly choosing Azure Deer over Crimson Lion would indeed mean that he would spend less time with his family. Once Taiyo proceeded to start the mission, Alva was a little surprised as there were many things he still wanted to talk about, but Taiyo was right and there will be plenty of time to do that later. Once they arrived at the square, everything looked very busy, however there wasn’t a sign of a criminal activity. Talking to one of the merchants, it hit Alva like a rock, he was indeed a noble and some people would attempt to call him a Sir. This didn’t happen usually, as his appearance was far from what people imagine when they hear Vermillion, it was probably because the heir of the family was with him, and he as a matter of a fact, looks like a true Vermillion. Alva decided to not join the conversation, as he had no idea what they were really talking about, there was a lot of noise around and he found himself very distracted from all the things happening around them.
“What was that scream?” He asked from confusion, but it was actually pretty simple. Taiyo already rushed to the place and Alva just followed as fast as he could, but he wasn’t very fast naturally so it took him some time to get to the place. The scenery was rather bleak, that all changed as Taiyo´s spell illuminated the surrounding area. It was indeed, very impressive and Alva felt the need to vocalize that. “Wow Taiyo! You got so much stronger than I remember!” This motivated young mage himself, to join a fight. Well, if there was a fight happening, as remaining three bandits started running and screaming, as it was obvious they would have big troubles if they attempted to fight them head on. “Oh, they won´t really get far.” Alva smiled, as he put up a finger on his mouth. Small bubble came out and started rushing the direction those bandits ran. Short moment after, a sound of heavy explosion occurred just a couple blocks away. Alva quickly ran together with his cousin, only to find themselves in a dead-end street. Bandits were there, smiling recklessly as if they already won. “You little brats really thought you could beat us?” One of them spoke, as more bandits came out from the shadow. Now there were in total of seven bandits, surrounding them from all directions. Alva didn’t look concerned at all, as he didn’t get to use his magic that often nowadays.
“It’s a playtime.” He said very calmly, being in combat was one of very few moments Alva could fully concentrate on the situation and not get distracted every moment. Pulling out his blowing pipe out of his pocked, he suddenly blew a couple dozen bubbles that flooded the whole fighting area. He then turned towards his cousin. “I will be supporting you from the bushes, or how they say it.” After this, one of the bubbles came right in front of him, Alva snapped his fingers and entered the bubble. In an instant-like maneuver, all the bubbles present on the battlefield had Alva in them, in different sizes. There were around 20 bubbles in total, all of them flew up in a coordinated manner. Real Alva was inside one of the bubbles, but the bandits looked very confused – it was obvious that they weren’t very familiar with illusions, unlucky for them.

Notes
After meeting Alva followed Taiyo, the bandits got scared from Taiyo´s attack and proceeded to flee the scene, Alva used his tracking spell Wandering Bubble to quickly locate them. Once Vermillions caught them up, they realised they gathered in numbers and are 7 now in total. Alva used his Clones technique to confuse the enemies and is now present in every bubble that is on the battlefield (20 of them), waiting for Taiyo to attack so he can assist him.
Elemental Type: Water with Explosion oddity Rank & Spell Type:Junior, Sensory (Tracking) Range & Speed:54 meters, 10 m/s Mana Cost:10 / 5 Stats Effected:N/A Applicable Perks:Elemental Oddity Description:This spell is activated by Alva putting up his index finger to his mouth and releasing a bubble, which is 5 centimeters in diameter. This bubble then floats in the area of effect searching for available mana sources. If there are more than one source, the bubble multiplies and each of the bubbles follows respective source. Once the bubble finds the mana target in the area, it proceeds to approach it and pops upon direct contact with the tracked subject. The pop itself, having an explosive nature will create a sound of an small explosion, giving Alva the information about the targets location. Alva can only sense targets with stats based on the tracking mechanics.
Elemental Type:Water with Explosion oddity Rank & Spell Type:Junior, Sensory (Illusion - Sight) Range & Speed:25 m / 10 m/s Mana Cost: 10 / 5 Stats Effected:N/A Applicable Perks:Master Illusionist Description:Alva creates one large bubble in front of him. This can happen by either using the bubble pipe or blowing it from his mouth. Clones is a simple illusion spell which can be activated when Alva snaps his fingers and enters said bubble. In an instant Alva will appear in all the bubbles present on the battlefield, while hiding his mana signature. Being able to direct the bubbles as he pleases, Alva can manipulate the bubbles to further confuse the enemy about his real location on the battlefield. In order to see through the illusion, enemy has to have at least 25 points in his sensory stat or more. Illusion eventually fades according to the illusion rules requiring 2 sensory less to see through each post this spell is active.
[attr="class","silasreescroll"]Taiyo looked at his cousin while he spoke, noting that it had been quite a long time since they did see each other. Taiyo had gotten taller and his hair was noticeably longer than the last time they interacted. He didn’t expect that Alva would pick up on these things immediately since the Azure Deer Vermillion was very absent minded a lot. He smiled and nodded. It has indeed been a long time. He was surprised that Alva thought it was a surprise for him to be there since the letter carried the Vermillion crest and also because he had stated that he was going to be there. He guessed that Alva didn’t read the entire letter and was probably excited and rushed to Kikka. He would have been in deep trouble had there been any information stating that the mission wasn’t the same day. Regardless, Taiyo was happy to see his cousin once more. After speaking to Taiyo, Alva shifted his attention to the Celestial Solar Phoenix spirit and told her that she and Taiyo were probably good company to each other. He was right in that since they were great for each other. “Yes, I watch out for Taiyo and he watches out for me. He has also taught me so much about humans, elves and your family. Though it hasn’t been that long since we started traveling together, I fully trust him and I can sense that he trusts me.” He nodded in agreement to what his spirit companion said. He had to admit ever since Cyra joined the journey he put his full trust in her. It was weird but they were linked both in magic and by a link they had. This link even extended to a mental link. Eventually when they would be able to fuse and have another link in the form of partial and full spirit dives.
[break][break]
Alva went on to speak of Taiyo’s sister Leona, Asking him how she was. He wished he knew since he genuinely wanted to know how his big sister was doing. Other than the need to fight her and win, he cared for her and hoped that she was alright. Well, I’m not sure how she is since she still hasn’t returned. It’s been four years since I last saw her and she’s not one to write home much. Hopefully she will be back soon. He folded his arms a bit as his cousin then asked about the Crimson Lions. Come to think of it, Alva not being a Crimson Lion wasn’t that far fetched. Silas was a Coral Peacock and there were others who weren’t Crimson Lions. Sometimes being different wasn’t bad. The Crimson Lions are great. Soon enough, I will be an Intermediate Magic Knight there. You’ve met Lydia right? Our former Vice-Captain? The older Vermillion apologized for not being in touch more often but Taiyo shook his head. They were family but that didn’t mean that they had to stay in contact all the time. They both had a duty to the Kingdom and that came first. Also, it wasn’t like they weren’t speaking because they weren’t on good terms. No need to apologize, Alva. We both are growing up and we both have our duty to the Kingdom as Magic Knights. Besides, if we are lucky we will get to do more missions together. He hoped that with the new coming responsibility of becoming an intermediate magic knight 5th class he’d be able to take his cousin on other missions. Maybe even some dangerous ones where they could grow stronger together. The Vermillions were combat oriented and that meant that they should be powerful. This new generation of Vermillions were nothing like Silas and the Vermillions of his time. They were powerhouses and that meant that they were powerful enough to destroy dungeons and do other crazy things some would think are impossible. Taiyo wanted to become that powerful someday so that others could see that he worked extremely hard to get all that he needed to succeed.
[break][break]
When it came time for combat, Taiyo was serious. The fire mage he took down was unconscious. Alva praised Taiyo for getting stronger, something that the younger Vermillion male didn’t notice until now. Thanks. As the heir, I have to make sure to keep getting stronger so that when I become head of the family, I will be able to protect us. Also, it’s our duty to keep getting stronger. Now then, let’s go get this lovely lady back her stuff. Taiyo ran off towards the bandits, chasing the three that were by the woman only to realize that they had reinforcements. There were 4 more who joined in making it 7 men in total excluding the 1 Taiyo easily took down. The supposed leader of the group made a remark, calling the Vermillion boys brats, asking them if they thought that they could beat them. In response Taiyo smiled and held his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. This won’t take long. After speaking, Alva said it was Playtime and Cyra flew out of harm's way, knowing that Taiyo could handle the threat without much issue. His cousin pulled out a bubble pipe and started creating bubbles. This was the explosive bubble magic that always seemed to impress Taiyo as explosive bubbles were cool. Offering to lend support from a safe space, Alva hid in the bubbles and Taiyo smiled. He saw the perfect opportunity to showcase spells while setting up a few to be taken down by his cousin. Alright, it’s time to get this party started. Taiyo’s grimoire opened up and flipped it’s pages. Solar Magic: Solar Flare! Taiyo closed his eyes as sunlight started to shine from his body. The glare coming off of him had the bandits covering their eyes. When the light faded, an orange orb formed and Taiyo threw it at the leader, immediately taking him down by dealing intermediate damage. Before anyone could react, Taiyo threw two more at two other bandits, also taking them down. 4 Down, 4 to go. Spinning on their heels, the bandits tried to get away with what they could. I don’t think so. Solar Magic: Solar Stream! Taiyo’s grimoire switched spells and a golden light surrounded his feet. He dashed over to where they were being faster than they were and kicked one of the bandits skyward before he could react, dealing intermediate damage and taking him down. Taiyo then drew his sword and smiled. Alva, now! The sword in his hand glowed golden as he poured mana into it, causing him to be empowered. The letters on the side of the sword lit up as its ability was being used. Using the sword, Taiyo swung, hitting the three remaining bandits for junior damage, leaving them open for Alva to finish.
[break]
[break][break]
TL;DR: Spoke with Alva, Uses Solar Flare to take down 3 bandits; dealing int dmg to them, Uses Solar Stream to boost speed and take down 1 bandit; dealing int dmg, uses sword ability Solaris Amplification to buff strength to jr rank damage and strikes the 3 remaining bandits for jr damage leaving them for Alva to finish off

When he throws the orb at an opponent, the orb will spin as it flies, becoming brighter. On impact it will create a flash that blinds the hit opponent and deals intermediate damage. For every 20 control he has, Taiyo could throw another orb per ammo rules.

Alva was in one of the bubbles, as he spectated the whole fight Taiyo was doing. He wanted to cheer on Taiyo several times, but given the fact that his illusion was purely visional, he would risk letting the enemy know his own position. He probably didn’t really have to be scared about that, as Taiyo was basically sweeping the enemies as if they were just a training dummies. Performing several very impressive combos, Alva felt that maybe Taiyo won´t even need help. It was great for young mage to see someone he is close to getting powerful, as it was also giving Alva a sign that he can become stronger as well, if he put up enough effort into it. Something about Taiyo´s presence was so motivating, it made a perfect sense he was the heir to Vermillion family. Once Taiyo defeated almost all the bandits, he left some for Alva to finish. He probably did it just so Alva doesn’t feel left out, but Alva didn’t pick on that and took this as his opportunity to shine some light, or an explosive water bubbles as a matter of fact. There were three of them, and they already looked defeated, but that wasn’t going to let Alva try any less.
As it was already safe to speak, Alva just shouted. “Playground!” And all the bubbles present on the battlefield started going in the direction of the three bandits. After first bubble hit them, nothing really happened, it just popped. “Haha you really think you can do something with … bubbles?” One of the bandits started laughing, which didn’t offend Alva as he knew what was to come. “Pop.” Alva just smiled when other small bubble hit one of his companions. This time, the bubble started shining bright, and once it popped it released a rather effective explosion, that knocked back one of the bandits by seven meters, before he fell unconscious to the ground. The bandit that had the initial remark about the bubbles looked terrified, having a cold sweat he started running, not sure where as he was basically surrounded by Alva´s bubbles. He tried to avoid them as much as he could, but Alva made sure that all the bubbles would follow him. Bubbles, after contact popped, but released no explosions. By this time Alva has already ended his illusion, and was on the ground watching the bandit trying to run hopelessly from the bubbles, which were just regular bubbles. “Haha! This will teach you not to steal from people!” Alva was having a great time watching his magic confuse the person so much, but after it became too long he just dictated another bubble to pop, bursting the bandit to the wall, dealing junior rank of damage and ultimately knocking him out. There was one more bandit, that looked like he gave up already, which was for the best. Since the two Vermillions needed to return the things to the lady these skunks stole from, they had to make sure bandits wouldn’t run away. Therefore, another bubbles popped near the last bandit, releasing a minor explosion with junior rank damage, and that made him unconscious.
Alva then turned to his cousin and smiled. “That was really fun! In Azure Deer we don’t get to fight enemies so often, or at all.” Young mage himself was surprised by this observation, but also what did he expect since he joined the tracking squad. After collecting all the items bandits stole, Alva was sure that guards would come and take care of them, and therefore they could just head back to the lady. “Oh yeah, I met Lydia and she is so cool! She let me ride her dragon Judgement, have you met him too?” Alva quickly remembered on that excitement he felt while riding the back of a mana beast. Riding the dragon was probably his highlight from the Azure Deer so far, but it was a highlight that was hard to beat. While they made their way to the lady that had her belongings stolen, it was a good opportunity to get caught up on the conversation that got previously interrupted. “How did you and Cyra meet by the way?” He asked as he was becoming very curious about spirits lately, but then continued to speak. “It´s wonderful that you are rising up in ranks Taiyo, just make sure to also take a break sometimes, you deserve that more than anyone.” With a subtle smile, Alva might not have been the brightest kid out of Vermillion family, but he was empathetic. Being the heir of one of main families was an extremely stressful task, fulfilling everyone´s expectations and taking the destiny of the whole family of one shoulders. Alva couldn’t imagine himself in that position. After they finally met the woman, who was now nervously waiting for two mages, Alva gave her a bag that he took from the bandits, and waited for the Taiyo to give the rest of the stuff. After she thanked them, young mage just cheerfully said. “Vermillion family at your service madam!” And with that, the mission has come to an end, at least for now.

Notes
Finished the three bandits Taiyo left for Alva with Playground spell. Then talked to Taiyo before delivering the stolen goods to the woman.
Elemental Type:Water with Explosion oddity Rank & Spell Type:Junior, Sensory (Illusion - Sight) Range & Speed:25 m / 10 m/s Mana Cost:10 / 5 Stats Effected:N/A Applicable Perks:Master Illusionist Description:Alva creates one large bubble in front of him. This can happen by either using the bubble pipe or blowing it from his mouth. Clones is a simple illusion spell which can be activated when Alva snaps his fingers and enters said bubble. In an instant Alva will appear in all the bubbles present on the battlefield, while hiding his mana signature. Being able to direct the bubbles as he pleases, Alva can manipulate the bubbles to further confuse the enemy about his real location on the battlefield. In order to see through the illusion, enemy has to have at least 25 points in his sensory stat or more. Illusion eventually fades according to the illusion rules requiring 2 sensory less to see through each post this spell is active.
Elemental Type: Water with Explosion oddity Rank & Spell Type: Junior, Attack Creation / Sensory (Homing) Range & Speed: 25 m / 10 m/s Mana Cost: 10 / 5 Stats Effected: Power +4, Knock Back Applicable Perks: Battle Knight, Elemental Oddity Description: After saying the name of the spell, Alva releases a massive amount of bubbles on the battlefield in 25-meter radius. This can happen by either using the bubble pipe or blowing them from his mouth. Vast majority of bubbles released are just regular bubbles infused by Alva´s magic. This allows him to control the direction and general movement of the bubbles. Bubbles vary from different sizes from 30 centimeters up to two meters. If Alva decides, he can turn one single bubble into explosive one, causing it to explode when Alva wants to. For every 10 points in control stat Alva can turn one more bubble into its explosive version. If enemy gets hit by the explosion he will take junior rank damage and get knocked back 2 meters (+5 meters every additional 10 power Alva has). Explosive bubbles look the same as regular and in order for enemy to differentiate them, he needs to have his sensory stat at 19 points or more. Alva can also decide to not create any explosive bubbles and use this spell as a base for his other spells.
[attr="class","silasreescroll"]Leaving the final three for his cousin to take out worked out as Alva used his bubbles to take them down. The fact that one of them underestimated Alva once more since he had bubbles was quite funny to Taiyo. The bubble magic with explosive properties took him down anyway. Taiyo immediately sheathed his sword and walked over to where the items were and gathered them with Alva. The men were to be arrested for sure. They wouldn’t be waking up for a while anyway. Taiyo didn’t exactly feel comfortable leaving them there without the authorities coming. Cyra, while we go back to the nice lady, can you watch these guys? I will wait for you to return to where I am. The bird spirit descended from where she was to speak to her companion. “Yes, I will watch over these hooligans. Once they are arrested, I will return to you.” Taiyo nodded and then looked at Alva who said something about not fighting a lot in the Azure Deer Magic Knight Squad. To be fair, they were trackers and scouts more than battle ready combatants. That being so, Taiyo understood what had Alva all fired up in the battle. The techniques he had were pretty cool though. Gathering all the items, the two Vermillion boys started their walk back to the woman. Alva had remembered that Taiyo asked about Lydia and responded to that. Lydia is pretty cool but she is also terrifying. Taiyo had a shiver, remembering the time he knocked her over and spilt wine on her and her new dress that Alyssa got her. Knocked out without her even laying a finger on him. Even so, she was quite helpful in his development and helped him get stronger and taught him the basics of sword fighting again. She even got him the sword he carried. The sword I carry was actually given to me by her. He smiled before thinking about the giant dragon. I know Judgement, yes. Still feels weird to not see him on the base anymore but it is what it is.

As they continued walking, Alva asked him about how he met Cyra. A light smile appeared on his face as he thought back to his adventure to Kiran Village. I met Cyra while visiting a place called Kiran Village. They were having a festival called the Solar Flame Festival to celebrate her even though they never met her. She hadn’t been seen for many generations. The food and craftsmanship was phenomenal. They had a shrine in a cave up a hill from the village and I went there. Cyra appeared before me and we made a contract and now she and I are companions. He folded his arms a bit. I’m training to become stronger so that she and I can become more powerful. I’m also working on advancing through the ranks of my squad. It’s been going well so far. He looked over and smiled before Alva said that it was good that he was advancing but that he should take breaks since he was deserving of one. Taiyo shook his head slightly. I’m not deserving of long breaks yet. I do take short breaks while I’m not doing anything super important. I have a lot to accomplish before I take a long break. By the way, keep up the good work and we will see what other missions we can do together. When they came out by the lady, Alva handed her the items that were taken from her telling her that the Vermillion family was at her service. She smiled and bowed. “Thank you Lord Vermillion and Sir Vermillion. I am indebted to you.” Taiyo shook his head. It’s quite alright. We were just doing our Magic Knight duty and besides, we are happy to help. Once she was on her way, Cyra returned and landed on Taiyo’s head. “The authorities came and the bandits were all arrested. I take it that the lady has all her stuff and is now on her way.” Taiyo nodded and walked towards the square with Alva. Yeah, she has all her stuff.
[break][break]
Another successful patrol. Taiyo would think that Bandits would try not to commit such crimes close to A Magic Knight Squad’s HQ but they didn’t care about that. They wanted a quick score and to escape with goods but quite frankly, they weren’t very good with it. Maybe one day they would learn that but until the Magic Knights would keep stopping them. Taiyo looked up at the Magic Knight Exam Coliseum before hopping on his broom. Alva, there is a family banquet coming up to celebrate me. The Feast of the Sun is seemingly going to be an annual thing. I hope you can come and we can have a great time. If there is another mission before then that you and I can go to pops up, I will write you a letter. Please read all the information in the letter and you will also know it is from me if it carries the official Vermillion Crest on it. Anyway, I’m going to head back to the Crimson Lions Headquarters and then to the estate later. We will catch up. Say hi to Lydia for me. He waved goodbye as he hopped on his broom and flew away, heading to the Royal Capital to the Crimson Lions Headquarters. Once he got back to the Crimson Lions HQ, he handed in the mission as complete and smiled. Hopefully he would be awarded enough stars to become an Intermediate Magic Knight 5th Class. If he wasn’t he’d take another mission and work hard on that. There was nothing wrong with hard work. After all, working hard got results. He could see how much he had grown over his time as a Magic Knight and Alva saw that and pointed it out to him. “Good job out there, Taiyo. You surely are getting stronger and soon enough we will be able to attempt a partial spirit dive. I wonder how it would work out. Quite frankly, I think that at this rate, we will be able to begin intense partial dive training soon. Once I am sure your body can handle the strain from the form.” Taiyo nodded. One day we will get there.
[break][break]
After returning home, he had a relaxing bath before grabbing a bite to eat and then heading out to the training grounds with Lucia to get his evening training session in. “Let’s get started, shall we?” As he trained, Cyra watched from the side. Yes, we shall. This journey he started with Lucia was one that changed into something interesting. She started as a friend who grew up and played with him and his sister while becoming a servant of the house. As she grew up and got a grimoire she was given a choice to leave and become a Magic Knight yet she decided to stay and support Taiyo. Now, she was helping him with politics and training as well as transportation sometimes. What a journey. Then there was Cyra, who had joined him recently. She would eventually become a part of him in a spirit dive fusion. What an amazing feeling of accomplishment that would bring if the boy managed to succeed. Becoming head of the family was another one of his goals and he would be sure to get that one in time as he got more powerful. Until then, hard work was needed. Every single day, he needed to work harder than the day before. He had to catch up to her and eventually win, right? Yeah. He was going to one day catch up to Leona Vermillion.
[break][break]
After his training with Lucia, he took another bath and went to his room. He sat at the table and looked at his mantle and then at his sword. He smiled as he changed his gaze to Cyra. Being a Magic Knight is a duty I wouldn’t give up. It brings a sense of accomplishment when I can see someone smile because they were helped by us who were given the duty to serve. That and protecting the kingdom is pretty cool. The bird perched herself on the desk next to Taiyo and nodded. “Yes, it is pretty cool. I intend to help you all the way, Taiyo Vermillion.”

The young Vermilion heir has shown himself to be lackluster within certain arts many nobles are taught since childhood. This, however, didn't mean he didn't want to make up for his shortcomings and so requested the head of the Ravencrest to become his tutor when it came to the art of swordplay. [break][break]
Upon their first lesson, the pink-haired head of the Ravencrest couldn't believe just what kind of blade he decided to turn up with and strapped to his back no less. She was less than impressed and so had a new longsword crafted using the techniques only known to those within the family, upon completion Lydia gifted the sword to her student in the hopes he would start to understand his role within the family and the appearances that he had to keep due to it. [break][break]
This blade of the sword is black with golden accents across the fuller of the sword. The grip is long and carries a pummel at the bottom while the cross guard has a blue diamond in the center. The scabbard of the sword also keeps with the color scheme of black with gold accents. The blade of the sword is 44 inches long while the grip is 8 inches long. The sword is weighed at 4 lb. [break]
