The mid-morning sun shone brightly down on the older neighborhood in Era, secured by the Rune Knights for training their recruits. The houses all stand empty and cutouts of human-shaped silhouettes inside and around many of them to act as stand-ins for ordinary citizens. Captain Akiyama had one of her sergeants, Sgt. Nym assemble 30 of the latest recruits in the avenue that served as the entrane to the closed off neighborhood.
Sgt. Nym yelled out, “Recruits, fall in!”
30 Rune Knight hopefuls who had been milling around all quickly fell into line, their Rune Staffs brought to the ready. Captain Akiyama came to stand before her cadets, and nodded to her sergeant. “Thank you, Sgt. Nym. At ease, cadets.Today is a big day. You will be facing your first live magic-capable target. This is to give you a taste of what you will be facing everyday as a full Rune Knight! You will notice the cutouts of people placed around the grounds. As far as you are concerned, they are living breathing innocents who must not be harmed in your pursuit of bringing the target mage to Justice. They are the people we must protect from those who use magic to bring harm or worse.. Now Ms. Fairchilde, would you please join us!”
