The day when a youngling is finally assigned to a master, becoming his or her apprentice. He remembers this day from his own life as well. He was a prodigy, he was chosen by a former prodigy, and chances are, he is destined to pick an impatient and eager prodigy as well. For four years, he has been at a rank which makes him eligible to take on an apprentice - yet he did not take on one yet, considering himself unworthy of such glories yet, believing that he still had much to learn.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ENevertheless, he decided to be an observed at this year\u0026apos;s Initiation Day, and maybe, just maybe, present himself as one of the people eligible to take on an apprentice. So he was on castle grounds, or rather, at the place where jousting is normally held. All the younglings eligible to advance in their career and become apprentices were gathered, with ages ranging from as young as thirteen to as old as fifteen or sixteen. Others showed up as well - namely, people of his rank, looking for an apprentice to take up. There was no rule to forbid a master from taking on multiple apprentices, but there was an unwritten rule against someone of his rank doing it - this was a privilege of the highest masters, who already had experience in chiseling knights out of younglings. The fields were green, the walls were high, and he was there, in armour, among other knights facing a group of children. The oldest of his group was the grandmaster of the order, who previously made his speech about the importance of this occasion, and told the younglings to get introduced to their more experienced cousins, so that a master may pick them. Stephanus may have been in the good graces of the grandmaster, he was fairly unenthusiastic. Truth be told, he didn\u0026apos;t even want to be here, but showed up anyway, because it was expected of him.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;Guess I\u0026apos;ll see the kids, if any of them likes me...\u0026quot; he said after yawning. and walking towards the other group. Those younglings who don\u0026apos;t get picked by a master generally get assigned to one of the elder masters, rather than given randomly to someone like Stephanus, who hasn\u0026apos;t picked an apprentice yet.\n",               "date": "2018-10-21T18:14:21.000+02:00",                "hun": false,                "streamlinedDate": true,                "unixTimestamp": 1540138461,                "user": "Stephanus Tavilrond"            },            {                "content": "Khani Dividono  stood quietly at the edge of the group of younglings, half listening to the head master as she looked her manner of dress over. While others had gone for fancy armor or elaborate robes, anything to make them stand out amongst their peers Khani had decided a different route. Her dark blonde hair was combed, held in the back by a dark brown marbled looking hair clip, long and straight and tucked away from her light brown eyes. She stood a mere 4\u0026apos;10 tall and her build made her look rather easy to push over to those who did not know her quite well enough. Her lips were curled downward giving her a little an appearance of being a bit stand offish but in truth she was nervous, though she would never admit it. To present herself she wore her faded black tunic with her family\u0026apos;s tabard over it in a bright orange, it didn\u0026apos;t help that it almost swallowed her, but that was the point in her mind. Her legs were covered by light grey tights, brown boots clinging to her feet, around her waist a simple brown belt with a sword attached to it.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EShe would continue to examine herself, pitting herself against everyone else in the group of would be apprentices. The one\u0026apos;s in armor looked fancy and powerful, and the robes were nice but they didn\u0026apos;t seem like they were ready to actually go and do the work of a knight like that in her opinion. \u0026quot;Dividono, Khani.\u0026quot; She didn\u0026apos;t hear her name being called as she began to look over the group of Knights that had shown up for their little show. \u0026quot;Miss Dividono, step forward!\u0026quot; One of the teachers stood in front of her as she snaps to \u0026quot;Are you listening?\u0026quot; She nods some \u0026quot;Yes sir, just my nerves.\u0026quot; The man smiles \u0026quot;Don\u0026apos;t be nervous, you have no reason to be.\u0026quot; She nods a little as she is escorted towards the front with the students deemed to be high skill. What kind of demonstration would they want to give? They had cherry picked the top 15 to show them off for some reason. She looked rather dwarfed as they set her at the number five spot, a taller boy to her side putting a hand on her head \u0026quot;You look nervous Khani ...\u0026quot; She smirks some \u0026quot;At least they can\u0026apos;t hear my knees shaking ...\u0026quot; she points out as his armor rattles a little. \u0026quot;Brat ...\u0026quot; he scoffs as he stands at attention.\n",               "date": "2018-10-21T18:32:20.000+02:00",                "hun": false,                "streamlinedDate": true,                "unixTimestamp": 1540139540,                "user": "Khani Dividono"            },            {                "content": "Stephanus Tavilrond  watched, with the other knights, as the examination of the young, would-be-knights proceded. If this wasn\u0026apos;t a medieval world, where popcorn was nonexistent, he would have been eating it. But alas, he had nothing to do but watch. Fifteen students, being shown... and he did play his part in examining them. It was said that these fifteen were the ones with the most promise. Yet, he doesn\u0026apos;t exactly think that way, when he sees them. Most of them - at least to him - looked like they were all show, no action. He can remember, that at his initiation day, he was expected to demonstrate the fact, that he was old enough to wield a metal sword. Truth be told, when he was Khani\u0026apos;s age, he had found - by pure accident - an enchanted steel longsword in a cave... and has been using it ever since. And unlike a lot of younglings his age, he already had the ability to use magic. He wasn\u0026apos;t a very good observer, but he could make out, that one of the students was a girl who looked nervous. And she spent a few seconds arguing with the teacher?\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThen comes the grandmaster\u0026apos;s speech. \u0026quot;Dear students. The fifteen of you have been deemed the most promising by our order. Your teachers believe, that you have potential. Much greater potential than all the other ones. However, many of the Crusaders and Masters standing next to me...\u0026quot; spoke the grandmaster, temporarily taking a look at Stephanus, when he was in the middle of the sentence, then looking back at the group of children \u0026quot;... are skeptical of your abilities and potential. So I would like each and every one of you, to tell something about yourselves. I am well aware, that this is quite untraditional, as we have always made it a master\u0026apos;s responsibility to choose a fitting apprentice, but... some of us are reluctant to take on an apprentice. It\u0026apos;s time to change that. Sir Ladislaus, could you instruct one of your students to begin? I would like to know what feats do these best and chosen ones have, before we initiate them.\u0026quot; spoke the grandmaster.\u003Cbr\u003EStephanus was well-aware of it all. The grandmaster wanted him t otake on an apprentice. He looked at the children. None of them really stood out for him... except maybe, maybe the nervous one. He had a rather low opinion of arrogance, and all the fancy kids with their eagerness were unfit in his opinion.\n",               "date": "2018-10-21T18:43:20.000+02:00",                "hun": false,                "streamlinedDate": true,                "unixTimestamp": 1540140200,                "user": "Stephanus Tavilrond"            },            {                "content": "Khani Dividono  pauses for a moment as she comes to attention, standing tall as she could as the head master began to speak. She felt a little bit ridiculous standing here next to a tin can and a mage who\u0026apos;s robes had been enhanced through some form of magic to change colors and flow unnaturally, honestly it was a bit distracting and the witch had to be doing it on purpose as her grey eyes cut to Khani for a moment, a smirk on her face. Soon the first student would step forward, she was tall, dressed in plate mail that showed off her curves, her legs visible and her cleavage sticking out a little. Her long red hair went nice against the matte black metal of her armor, it looked to be of good quality too, but it was fancy and useless as she was left exposed in several critical areas. She was simply showing herself off, hoping that skill and looks would work. The next, a young man with the starts of a beard, he would create a stair case from the Earth as he smiled, he was very well mannered, speaking soft but firm. He was clearly a winner. The next two were forgettable, the third throwing up and falling over from nerves and number four\u0026apos;s legs clattered the entire time he spoke. Then it was her turn to say something about herself.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EStepping forward the young lass would look to her left, then to her right, she had bested all of these students in combat, but her temperament and arrogance had gotten her into trouble. She thinks for a moment as she starts her introduction \u0026quot;I am Khani Dividono, I am from house Dividono. My father serves our order and I wish to do the same.\u0026quot; Her father of course was a decent known warrior, powerful with magic and skilled with a blade. She pauses for a moment \u0026quot;Also I can and have beaten all of these students before you. On some occasions when it was 3 on 1.\u0026quot; She looks to the end of the line, clearly hitting a sore spot \u0026quot;Didn\u0026apos;t remove limbs and they are remarkably still alive somehow.\u0026quot; She nods a bit as she hears one of them say something, not catching it \u0026quot;Headmaster if I may, I would like to demonstrate what I am capable of words are words but actions speak louder.\u0026quot; She pauses for a moment, not sure if he would allow this.\n",               "date": "2018-10-21T18:57:02.000+02:00",                "hun": false,                "streamlinedDate": true,                "unixTimestamp": 1540141022,                "user": "Khani Dividono"            },            {                "content": "Stephanus Tavilrond  raised his eyebrows in surprise, as he saw Khani speaking. She sure put herself up high. He wasn\u0026apos;t sure if he should ignore what she said as just being a show-off, or get curious as she actually demonstrates her potential. The grandmaster first looked at Stephanus, before looking back at Khani. Stephanus simply nodded. It\u0026apos;s like the master asked him a question, and he answered yes. To even Stephanus himself, the experience was surreal, as he may have been in the good graces of the grandmaster, he certainly wasn\u0026apos;t his advisor or anything like that. He was just an exceptionally young Crusader, a prodigy who showed exceptional promise when he was Khani\u0026apos;s age.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;Very well. To prove that you can beat those three... I will want you to beat those three right in front of everyone. The only rule is, don\u0026apos;t kill or excessively injure anyone. Other than that, everything goes. Let\u0026apos;s see what you are made of, Khani Dividono...\u0026quot; announced the grandmaster. Everyone raised their eyebrows, while Stephanus watched in curiousity. If he had any kind of food comparable to popcorn around... he would have taken it and began eating it. But alas, it was a medieval world, and no such thing existed. Besides, it is considered bad manners to eat while watching something important. \u0026quot;This is going to be interesting... I wonder if she\u0026apos;s all talk, or really has something going for her.\u0026quot; Stephanus said to himself. The master looked at him - \u0026quot;If she wins, she\u0026apos;s going to be your apprentice.\u0026quot; the grandmaster said quite plainly. Normally, Stephanus would have protested, saying that he was unfit to be a master, that he still had much to learn... but this time, he just nodded. \u0026quot;Let it be. If the brat wins against all three of them, I\u0026apos;ll take her as my apprentice.\u0026quot; he replied, and watched what would unfold.\n",               "date": "2018-10-21T19:05:07.000+02:00",                "hun": false,                "streamlinedDate": true,                "unixTimestamp": 1540141507,                "user": "Stephanus Tavilrond"            },            {                "content": "Khani Dividono  grins a little bit as she hears those words, she was going to give the mouthy one a good thrashing for whatever smart ass thing he said. As she steps a little further away from the line she notes the three stepping out. First was their meat head, tank like built, axe wielding big guy who looked rather pissed \u0026quot;I\u0026apos;ve been wanting to knock your teeth out ... you\u0026apos;re small so if it happens, it happens!\u0026quot; He laughs a bit, keeping his axe on his back as he knew he might kill her if he used it. Next out was a brunette woman wearing padded leather armor over tights and a shirt, her bow and arrow already out as she stood in the shadow of the larger male in his armor \u0026quot;You got lucky kid, not so much this time.\u0026quot; The last was a smaller boy with a set of tonfas \u0026quot;What she said, hey headmaster, any prize if we win?\u0026quot; He glared at Khani, clearly there was a good bit of rivalry here.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAfter getting their answer Khani would smirk a little bit, drawing her blade as she took up a rather lazy looking stance to on lookers, if they paid attention to the position of her feet she had clearly spread them enough to be ready to move the moment she needed to. The tank like armored student would begin to move towards her left, the archer staying back and knocking a arrow or two, the third breaking into a dash her way as she suddenly lifted her blade with one hand, keeping the other flat as she waited there for a moment. It seemed like she was about to get creamed by the small boy running her way, his black hair bouncing about as his fancy dress wear covered arm extended out to send a blow to Khani\u0026apos;s face. Flicking her arm slightly she would deflect the blow as the palm of her hand lifted, a air spell generated in her palm as she sends the boy rolling back towards the line of students. She would suddenly step as the archer let loose her shots, ducking behind the armored student who goes to slam his arms down onto Khani. The blonde student however doesn\u0026apos;t back away, instead using her size to close the gap as she delivers a hard blow into the boy\u0026apos;s gut with the butt of her sword. He doesn\u0026apos;t budge but there is now a large dent in his armor as the two arrows fly off his back \u0026quot;Your aim sucks! Work on it!\u0026quot; Khani taunts as she notes the tonfa boy getting back up and moving in. \u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAs he charges in again she steps into the archer girl\u0026apos;s line of sight again as she back away from a swing, clearly the larger guy getting rather angry as his speed isn\u0026apos;t a match for her\u0026apos;s. As the tonfa boy closes the distance, Khani rolls out of the way of the fist of the armor clad student, causing him to punch the tonfa boy out cold. \u0026quot;Well that\u0026apos;s one ...\u0026quot; she comments, suddenly feeling a burning sensation to her side, looking down to see where an arrow had grazed her, causing her to bleed some. Turning to the archer she would begin to close the gap, focused on her now as she is chased by the knight. Deflecting shots with her blade as she prepares to go on the attack this time, a current of wind building up in her free hand again.\n",               "date": "2018-10-21T19:23:27.000+02:00",                "hun": false,                "streamlinedDate": true,                "unixTimestamp": 1540142607,                "user": "Khani Dividono"            },            {                "content": "Stephanus Tavilrond  just commented. \u0026quot;Well, this is going to be entertaining... certainly an unorthodox way to initiate the students, but... they\u0026apos;ll get a taste of what\u0026apos;s to come when they\u0026apos;ll be knights proper.\u0026quot;.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;A prize? What kind of prize do you expect, winning three against one? Your prize will be experience... and a taste of things to come.\u0026quot; the grandmaster commented. Ah yes, the old knightly honour - three ganging up on one is not the knight\u0026apos;s way. The grandmaster had nothing more to say on that matter - so he just stepped back, and watched the fight, just like Stephanus, and all the other knights and students did. How apropriate, given that these were fighting grounds made deliberately for knightly practice. \u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;Not bad, not bad at all...\u0026quot; Stephanus commented, seeing Khani deflect the blow, making a \u0026apos;Wow!\u0026apos; sound, as he saw that boy being slammed back by magic. \u0026quot;Stupid little boy... he should have given up.\u0026quot; the knight commented, as he saw him getting knocked out. Only afterwards did he notice the unorthodox weapons they were using. Tonfa? Bows and arrows? What is this? He knew, that lots of knights preferred using maces, hammers, lances and polearms to swords, and for many, the sword was either a sidearm of a ceremonial \u0026apos;weapon\u0026apos;, but he certainly considered bows and tonfas to be unorthodox. In fact, this was his first time seeing a so-called \u0026apos;knight\u0026apos; using a ranged weapon... other than magic, that is.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;Master, are bows legal? If that shot didn\u0026apos;t miss, it could have killed her...\u0026quot; the crusader asked from the grandmaster. - \u0026quot;We would have stepped in, if things were to go that way. Worry not, and enjoy the show. She already knocekd out one of them.\u0026quot; the grandmaster replied back. \u0026quot;Very well. Looks like only the archer and the juggernaut are left for her to deal with. She looks agile enough, but... So long as both the archer and juggernaut are standing, they will cover for each other. Kicking out the boy with the sticks was easy enough, but these two...\u0026quot; he commented. \u0026quot;Ah yes, to knock out the juggernaut, you need to get rid of the archer. To knock out the archer, you need to get rid of the juggernaut. You need an egg to have a chicken, and you need a chicken to get an egg. The classical paradox, isn\u0026apos;t it?\u0026quot; the grandmaster made his point - \u0026quot;Looks like you won\u0026apos;t be forcing me to take on an apprentice any time soon.\u0026quot; Stephanus laughed, implying that he didn\u0026apos;t see much chances of Khani winning... but he could be wrong.\n",               "date": "2018-10-21T19:37:50.000+02:00",                "hun": false,                "streamlinedDate": true,                "unixTimestamp": 1540143470,                "user": "Stephanus Tavilrond"            },            {                "content": "Khani Dividono  pauses in front of the archer as she gives her a smirk \u0026quot;Coward.\u0026quot; She comments before swinging her sword at the bow, cutting it in two before aiming her air spell at the ground. Throwing herself into the air and over the juggernaut of a knight behind her as he nearly takes out his other ally \u0026quot;WATCH IT YOU IDIOT! YOU NEARLY GOT ME!\u0026quot; The brunette cries out as she switches up to a bo staff, Khani smiling as she looks at the two with a grin \u0026quot;I can cut that one down for you as well, Good set of training sticks.\u0026quot; She would hold her ground, watching the two of them as she worked out her next plan in her head, the bo staff would hurt, but was less threatening than the big guy grappling her. They weren\u0026apos;t dumb, both moving to take her on at the sides versus just blindly charging like tonfa boy. Her choice was made for her as the brunette hangs back, waiting for a moment as the large knight goes in swinging first, power was something he had but speed was not on his side. Though the plan was a bit obvious, the juggernaut was trying to wear her down so the quicker bo could over whelm her. \u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EShe however, wasn\u0026apos;t stupid either and was already making her move as she waited for the knight to leave himself open. With a bit of luck she drops down and slides, striking at his legs as she hits the armor and cuts very lightly into him. Using air magic she would launch herself up like a spring, striking her blade into the knight\u0026apos;s back before kicking at the back of his head, only for his hands to snatch her out of mid air. \u0026quot;Got you now bitch!\u0026quot; He begins to squeeze her, holding her in the air as she struggles some, her sword dropping to the ground. \u0026quot;Gonna do your trick kid?

Good as she may be, she cannot win against three - or so did Stephanus assume. The boy she previously knocked out was quietly taken away to be checked for wounds, while the three continued fighting. Ultimately, no matter how agile she is, she cannot win against a juggernaut like that, not without magical aid - so did Stephanus assume.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;Well, it looks like she is going to lose....\u0026quot; commented the knight. \u0026quot;Why not call it quits before anyone gets injured?\u0026quot; - \u0026quot;Ssssh... look at what is about to happen.\u0026quot; the master commented. \u0026quot;Oh right. Let me guess. She is about to electrocute him while his metallic arm is trying to squeeze her? Or wait... she\u0026apos;s going to fry him? Perhaps use telekinssis to push him back while he doesn\u0026apos;t expect it?\u0026quot; The knight took guesses at what is going to be Khani\u0026apos;s next move.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;So what do you think? Still spoiled kids with no promise?\u0026quot; laughed the grandmaster, while asking the question from Stephanus - having such chatter with him while three individuals were fighting right in front of them, not to the death, but still with a potential for life-threatening injuries. And they were just talking like that. \u0026quot;I don\u0026apos;t think they\u0026apos;d even last for a second in a real fight. The boy with the sticks? Give me a break... That kid has so much to learn. The archer? Her aim is terrible. The juggernaut? He\u0026apos;s slow, and lacks focus. The girl could easily knock him out if he looked away just for one moment.\u0026quot; - \u0026quot;What about the girl?\u0026quot; - \u0026quot;I don\u0026apos;t know. Even if she wins against them... her opponents weren\u0026apos;t exactly top-notch. A bunch of kids who are only about to begin their real training.\u0026quot; - \u0026quot;But she was using magic....\u0026quot; - \u0026quot;Ah yes... in that, she does show promise.\u0026quot; - \u0026quot;Maybe she will turn out like you? Many of us had our doubts in you as well in the beginning.\u0026quot;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026quot;I still don\u0026apos;t think she will win. Not this time.\u0026quot; assumed the knight. He however, will hopefully be wrong. Either way, it looks like the Juggernaut may have forgotten the rule - no killing or inflicting of life-threatening injuries.
