The next day, after the big announcement that was made the previous night, the boys and girls all met up at the park. The group consisted of the usual, Kazuma, Mio, Yuji, Kito, Baroka, Rem, White, Lydia, Racheal, Gwen, Yuki, Marallda, Volt and Regina. Kazuma while sitted on the floor started the conversation "Wow, so we aren't meeting up at the boarding house as our usual hanging spot any more?", Yuji looked at him and asked "Do you want us to meet there?", Mio added "Yuji's got a point. I mean the room's in your boarding house is big enough to fit us all, but we'd feel like a crowd.". Yuki stretched "Finally, someone who gets it.", Regina added "By the way, did everyone see the news yesterday? The one about the training camp.", Kazuma turned to her "So that's what this is about? I thought we were just going to sit together and catch up. But whatever works.", White explained "Don't take this so likely, you idiot.". White looked serious "Not only did Lord Fugaku talk about the training camp, he also said something else. The declaration of war against the Knight Kingdom.", everyone got slightly tensed after hearing this "Great, now we've got to worry about another big bad battle.", Yuki said, Gwen sighed and responded "I know, right? It's tiring.". Racheal also seemed tired "Like seriously, war missions are hard enough. But now we're going on an actual war against another country that's just as big and bad as we are. What a pain.", Rem sighed while feeling the same way "I feel you.". Kito muttered to Baroka "Why's everyone sharing the same brain cell today, particularly the girls?", Baroka whispered in response "Don't let em hear you.", Kito replied "You right.". Volt popped in their whisper "What are we talking about?", Baroka and Kito just sighed "AHHH!". Kazuma seemed to look a bit confused before facing his front, Yuji looked at him "You seem confused. Any problem?", he asked, Kazuma replied "Nothing really. I just don't know how to feel at the moment.". Kito then said "Well to be honest, I don't like the idea of this training camp thing.", everyone looked at him "How come?", Rem asked. Kito explained "You see, bringing a lot of superpowered kids into an enclosed space with different attitudes and backgrounds sounds like a pain, not to mention the competition that the training regiment would make us go through. Something unpleasant is bound to happen.", Yuki added, hands waved apart like she was pretending not to know something "Kito's got a point. I say we all just stay home and mind our own business.", Lydia looked at Yuki with a look of indifference "Great, she's turned back to lazy mode.". Yuki clicked her tounge "Oh, yeah? Since you're so smart, why don't you say something?", Yuki said to Lydia with slight annoyance. Lydia sighed "Look, it's obvious things are about to change and take a deeper turn. Honestly, I don't like it at all, but from the looks of it, it's clear that the government wants to prepare us well enough for whatever's about to happen.", Gwen added with her eyes closed for a moment "Fair point. I don't like where this is going either, but hopefully, we all don't receive major backlash from this.". Racheal looked at White and asked "What do you think about this whole training camp thing?", White sighed "I think it's going to be a pain. Lots of kids all over the city would be there. Naturally, some of us being kids would want to flex our skills and abilities. And because of that, we're going to see ourselves in stupid situations that we didn't ask for. If only this was a bad dream.", Kito added "Wow, so even White can feel lazy too.". White replied Kito's complement "I'm not feeling lazy, i just don't want unnecessary drama for myself.", he explained again "Look, I don't think we're going to be many in the training camp. It's probably going to consist of about 300 kids.", Mio and Yuki smiled nervously and lazily "Three-hundred is a lot of numbers. You think we're going to be okay?", Yuki asked, Mio responded "I highly doubt that. But let's just give the benefit of the doubt that we would be.". Regina, Gwen, Marallda and Lydia all looked at Mio and Yuki "The fact that they're scared is starting to make me scared.", Gwen said, Regina responded "Yeah me too.". Rem sighed "Damn it! Now I'm shivering.", she was irritated when she said that, Volt glanced at her with the corner of his eye and looked away "Yep, I'm irritated too. Must be our twin link or something.", he thought. Kito looked at Kazuma "Kazuma, what do you think about this?", Kazuma looked at him "Seriously? You're asking me this?", Baroka just smiled "Kazuma's one person we shouldn't be asking things in important situations.", Yuji added with a bored face "We could all be falling and the idiot wouldn't know how to contribute.", Kazuma picked up a small stone and flicked it on Yuji's head "OUCH!", Yuji exclaimed. Kazuma's eyes tilted elsewhere as if he was trying to dodge a responsibility, this was Regina's moment. She snuk behind Yuji and quickly rolled her arms behind him with a seductive smile "So Yuji, what are your thoughts on this? I mean, you of all people haven't said anything about this whole training camp thing yet.", Yuji seemed a bit flustered as Regina's breast's were pressing on his back "Um well....". Yuji's mind raced "First of all, I can't think straight with those soft lethal weapons giving me a massage from behind. Second of all, she seems more warm than usual. Third of all, why can't I focus?!", Mio called to Regina's attention "Regina, leave the poor kid alone. It's obvious his minds flying all over the place because of you.", Yuji seemed annoyed "Who the heck are you calling a poor kid?!", Mio pointed "See....?!". Rem looked at Marallda and asked "Do you have anything to say?", Marallda replied "I d0nt wann4 t@l!k ri1ght now.", Rem faced away "Oh, your speech patterns broken, I get it.". Volt sighed "Well the long story concerning this is that we have a training camp arc coming up in the next few days, and we don't like it because we don't want to interact with other kids our age due to the stupid situations we can get ourselves into all because of dumb behaviours around us. I guess we've all agreed to pass accross our points.", Regina while still hugging Yuji replied while looking a bit confused but still surprised "Wow, Volt. You did sum it all up. Looks like you've gotten smarter.", Volt smiled, proud of himself "Offcourse I've-". His senses clicked "HEY! WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!", Regina smiled teasingly "My fault.".
