It was an early morning in the city. A Young boy with short black hair and blue eyes got up from his bed and walked into the bathroom connected to his room. He looked at himself in the mirror.

"Guess today is the day Huh..." said the Boy

He quickly brushed his teeth and took a shower. After drying himself off with a towel, he put on a fresh pair of clothes. He left the bathroom and went into his room. He grabbed a necklace from his dresser, putting it around his neck. Then He opened his bedroom door and bolted out of his room.

The boy took a right after running out of his room. Running down a huge hallway, he encounters a short maid with red eyes and long silver hair.

"Morning Aunt Lisa!" The boy shouted while running down the hall.

"Morning Benjamin! Breakfast is served downstairs, Sir Archlight is also waiting for you! So hurry up before the food gets cold!" Aunt Lisa said while shouting back

Benjamin took a left down the hallway. He then ran towards the elevator at the end of the hall. Benjamin was about to click a button to call the elevator, but the elevator door opened on its own. Inside was a tall man smiling with short black hair and green eyes, wearing black gloves and a butler suit.

"Oh... *Pant* *Pant* hey.... Uncle Roland!" said Benjamin while panting from the running

"Hahaha, what a coincidence. I was just about to come get you. Did you just wake up?" said Roland

"Yea, is Uncle Archlight still waiting downstairs?" said Benjamin now regaining his breath

"He is. Come quick, before the elevator closes on you." said Roland

Benjamin quickly came inside. Then Roland pushed a button on the elevator called Floor 15.

"Will you be coming with me and Uncle Archlight on the trip?" said Benjamin while looking curious

"Nah, I gotta hold the fort down. Besides, I don't wanna distract you once the training begins." said Roland while looking back at him

"Awwww man. Won't I be gone for a while? Can you come see me and Uncle Archlight some time in the future?" said Benjamin

Roland then fell silent for a moment. Losing his smile, starring blankly at the elevator doors. Quickly he looked back at Benjamin with a cheerful smile

"I'll try!" said Roland

Benjamin being smart for his age immediately noticed the quick change in demeanor from Roland.

"Hey... Roland. Will I be abl......"

Benjamin was cutoff from talking when the elevator doors opened on the 15th floor. Roland immediately pushed him out. Benjamin turned around,

"Jee what was that for?!" said Benjamin

"See ya later Ben..." said Roland in a hopeful but sad voice

Roland clicked a button on the elevator which made the doors close. Benjamin now feeling anxious because of Roland's odd demeanor, he quickly walked down another hallway leading towards the dining room. In the center of the room was a table with a man sitting in a chair. He has silver hair and a handsome looking face, while also wearing a tall black trench coat with black leather gloves which were badly burnt.

The man instantly knowing when Benjamin entered the room, he quickly looked at him.

"Sit down Ben." said the Man wearing a trench coat

Benjamin quickly sat in a chair across from where he was sitting. A shy maid with purple hair and glasses served food to Benjamin and the Man with the trench coat.

"Thanks Aunt Maria." said Benjamin with a smile

Maria smiled back. Then the man with the trench coat nodded his head towards her. She quickly bowed, and proceeded to leave the room.

Now with nobody around but Benjamin and the Man wearing the trench coat, Benjamin began to talk.

"Hey *Crunch* *Crunch* Uncle Archlight." says Benjamin while eating food at the same time

"Finish your food before you talk. I thought you would know your manors by now." said Archlight

"Sorry." said Benjamin

"What did I say? I don't wanna hear a single word out of you when eating." Said Archlight with a pissed off demeanor

Benjamin stopped trying to talk and quickly finished his food.

"Can I speak now?" said Benjamin

Archlight stood up from his seat.

"Follow me. The first test shall now begin." said Archlight

"Wha... Now?! At this time? I only just woke up!" said Benjamin making a excited but surprised expression

Archlight started walking towards a corner in the dining hall with Benjamin following him.

Now arriving at the corner Benjamin said, "Why are we here? Aren't we gonna go outside and go to the other side of the wall?

"In order to do so, you must prepare yourself. You seem to think too fondly of the streets. I'll show you one of the many things you will see while training.

Archlight then crouched on the floor, He took out a knife. Then he stabbed it into a crack on the floor.

"What are you doing?" said Benjamin being confused

Archlight stood back, pushing back Benjamin as well. All of a sudden, a huge square in the floor started to move. A huge stair case appeared that led down into a dark abyss.

"Woah... I never knew this was here before. What's inside?" said Benjamin

Archlight went down the staircase silently without answering his question. Benjamin followed in his footsteps. On the right side of the wall once the staircase ended, there was a rack of weapons. Archlight picked up a sword and immediately the sword burst into flames. Then it controlled itself, now looking as bright as the sun.

"What's your taste in weapons?" said Archlight

"I don't know, I never used one before." said Benjamin

"Good. I shall teach you the way of the sword first, then I'll teach you how to use Firearms." said Archlight

Archlight grabbed an extra sword and pistol from the rack of weapons. Now walking down a dark hallway, Archlight used the sword as light to be able to see forward. While walking down the dark hallway, there was distant moaning and screams.

"What... are those noises?" said Benjamin while sounding scared

"You'll see soon enough." said Archlight with a straight face

10 minutes later..

"We're here." said Archlight

Now hearing the moans and screams even louder, Archlight made the sword even brighter. With the sword being brighter, Benjamin looked around.

"Are these... cells? Benjamin said while feeling very disturbed

"Look in here." said Archlight

Benjamin got close to the iron bars of one of the cells. He looked inside. He saw a naked man in a corner starring right at him with completely pale skin and having huge dark black eyes with blood all over his hands and mouth.

"AHHH" Benjamin screams then falling over.

"WHA, WHAT IS THAT THING!" Benjamin said while screaming

"That "thing" was once a human. Not too long ago I was hired by a person to kill a cannibal that eat his entire family in the streets. I found the hideout the cannibal was in. I was gonna kill him, but then I figured I could save this monster for you during training." said Archlight

"Save.. it.. for me? What do you mean?"

Archlight then opened the iron gate and pushed Benjamin inside. Archlight quickly locked the gate behind Benjamin.

"UNCLE, WHY." said Benjamin now almost pissing himself

"Fight him, or die." said Archlight with a small smirk

Archlight quickly gave Benjamin the extra sword he grabbed earlier. Benjamin turned around and faced the cannibal. The cannibal now realizing that Benjamin is now inside, he started to slowly crawl on all fours up to Benjamin. Suddenly, the cannibal launched itself at Benjamin. Being unskilled when it comes to combat, Benjamin was unable to dodge and fell to the ground dropping the sword in the process.

"UNCLE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO... HES..... TOO STRONG I CANT..... FIGHT IT...." says Benjamin while barely being unable to speak due to the fighting

Archlight stood silent, not even bothering to help nor give advice.

After 10 seconds struggling to keep the cannibal off of him, Benjamin calmed himself down while under the pressure. Now starting to think fast, Benjamin started to try and look for weak spots. He looked down at the cannibals skinny stomach and started to hit it with his knee. However, it only aggravated the creature even more. Struggling even more, Benjamin tried it again but nothing happened. Benjamin tried one more time kicking the monster in his stomach, This time the cannibal let go one of his hands to try and stop the knee from hitting his stomach even more. Benjamin then immediately reached for the cannibals left eye. Gouging it in the process. The cannibal then backed up screeching in pain. Amazed, Benjamin had a huge surge in confidence.

But it didn't matter. The cannibal backed up then launched himself at Benjamin again. But then, a wall of flame went across the room. Slicing the cannibal into two while in the air. The torso and the rest of the body now fell on the floor burning in flames.

"Congratulations, You passed the first test." said Archlight

"But.. I didn't kill him." said Benjamin with a confused and stricken look

"That's not what this test was about. It was the ability to think under pressure and do what's needed to survive." said Archlight with an impressed look

"But anyone could do such a simple thing." said Benjamin

"Not everyone, Most Redeemers tend to panic and allow themselves to die almost instantly. The enemy was way stronger than you, yet you still stayed calm and tried to look for a weak point in the dire situation you were in." said Archlight

"Even with me staying calm, I can't fight these monsters. I don't even know how to use a sword properly." said Benjamin with a depressed voice

"Ben, your training just started. Don't be too hard on yourself. I'll be the one being hard on you. Now follow me, we will come back here later." said Archlight with a calm voice
