Age 1990Oleander City Day of the Enforcer tryouts
The Enforcers... An elite group of people often regarded as heroes. It is an Enforcers job to protect the weak. They deal with the Bestia Macht as well as rouge organizations. They do dangerous missions and save their part of the world on a daily basis.
They truly are the pinnacle of what it means to be a Hero... And for some people, they just take on the name Hero and instantly a.s.sume that means they will be awesome...
Oleander: Train station...
Ken stepped off of the train quickly. She was in a bit of a rush to get out of the large train. She had chosen to sit near the back in order to not be seated next to Hero. She had also allowed him to step off the train first. Unfortunately, the teen had taken up so much time monologuing that there was less than an hour left before the test would begin.
The only good thing about this situation was that Hero was already ahead of her and in the city, so her chances of running into him were pretty slim.
She slid her shoulder-length black hair back as her dull red eyes stared up at the ma.s.sive city. "Wow! One of the Great Cities! I wonder how different it will be from a town..." She hurried over towards the gate of the ma.s.sive city as her dull eyes lit up for a moment. "It"s so warm!" She said in shock as she saw the snow melt off of her. "So cool!" She said in shock.

"It"s super neat right!" Ken looked up finding a tall man wearing a full-body suit and a metallic mask. A plastic badge was placed over his chest with the words "Enforcer" written on it. "These cities aren"t like the towns or villages that exist out in the world. The cities have artificial lights, and heaters. once you step inside you"ll find that you won"t need your jacket anymore."
"That"s cool..."
"Yep. Unlike most cities Oleander has a super artificial light that will instantly melt the snow and warm a person up." The guard announced out.
Ken raised an eyebrow in surprise at that as she stared at her warm jacket. "That"s kind of neat... Are you an Enforcer?" Ken asked curiously.
"Yeah! Well... Sort of... Umm... No..." The man shrugged slightly. "My name is Ace! I guard the city. I"m technically not an official Enforcer since I don"t have a battle Attribute... I"m also not a superhuman like the people who gets letters..." He trailed off shrugging. "I don"t go on missions and I am barely able to take on a Baron level Bestia Macht... In fact, anyone of you new recruits could probably beat me easily. I guess you could say that my type is at the very bottom of the barrel..."
"I see..." Ken said nodding her head slightly. She gave a quick bow for a moment. "Thank you. Now that I have seen how awful your life is it"ll drive me to do better so I don"t end up like you... Loser."
Ace flinched slightly as he let out a nervous laugh before he stopped realizing Ken was being dead serious. "You"re a nasty girl..." He said kind of hurt by her remark.
"I prefer devilish!" Ken said putting on a cute smile.
"That smile doesn"t suit her at all!" Ace thought as they stared at the young girl. Ace let out a sigh as he shook his head. "Right well... I"ll go ahead and open up the gate for you miss. Try to do your best on the exam..." He said rolling his eyes. "Geez... Will anyone show us some respect?"
"Right... And I"ll try to not forget you instantly." Ken announced walking past the man whose name she already forgot. She walked into the city as a tiny bit of excitement filled her dull red eyes. Despite the smile that was on her face though her eyes continued to look at everything with pure boredom.
Ken quickly walked through the ma.s.sive city as her eyes scanned everything. She reaches into her pocket pulling out the blue envelope. "Head to the tallest building." That would be where she would be able to begin what would be the start of her Enforcer training. A ma.s.sive Golden Gate surrounded the building stopping anyone from getting in.
A large muscle man stood next to the gate. He wore a suit that was being stretched out. The guy was nearly ten feet tall.
"This will let me actually have some fun," Ken spoke as she marched forward. "I"ll finally be able to become a well-respected Hero!" She announced. She places her hands on her hips as she found the tallest building in the city. "This will be the start of my story!"
"Will you shut up!" Ken jumped slightly as she realized the giant man was glaring at her. "Geez... I have to see brats like you on a daily basis. I doubt you"ll even get in-"
"Oh, you wanna go!" Ken questioned placing her hands on her hips. "I will royally screw you up!" She announced aggressively.
The man"s eye twitched slightly as he glared down at the young girl. "I would rather not be charged with murder after I slaughter you..."
"Yeah right!" Ken announced. She reached for her sword unsheathing it. A loud terrible sound echoed out as the rusty blade slid out slowly making a terrible sc.r.a.ping noise as the blade was pulled out. The blade was cracked and covered in rust. It looked like it would fall apart at any moment. The blade had duck tape coming off of it and its edge was far gone by now.
"What the h.e.l.l! What kind of sicko would let such an amazing weapon go to waste!"
"Hey! I"ll have you know it was like this when I stole- When I borrowed it okay!" Ken said sheathing the "blade." "I usually just keep the sheath on it and smack people with it really hard..."
The man raised an eyebrow before letting out a heavy chuckle. "You know shorty-"
"What the h.e.l.l did you just call me?"
"- I think I like you. You"ll fit right in with the batch of misfits. Please give me your letter..."
Ken grumbled still salty about being called short. The 4-foot nine-inch girl pulled her envelope out handing it to the man. "Here..." She hissed out.
The man hummed as he looked it over. "Name?"
"Ken..."
"What"s your last name."
"I don"t have one."
The man raised an eyebrow slightly. "You an orphan?"
"Maybe."
He shrugged deciding it wasn"t his business. "Well little girl-"
"Seriously I will shove my boot right up your a.s.s."
"-Welcome to h.e.l.l." The man turned as he grabbed the golden gates. Then with an insane amount of effort, he picked the entire gate up opening it.
"That"s pretty impressive! How much does that gate weigh?"
"two hundred and fifty tons!" The man said breathing heavily. "That"s the eighty-seventh time I have had to lift it."
Ken crossed her arms completely impressed. "Wow! It"ll be fun when I beat you now that I know your limit."
"Who the h.e.l.l said two-fifty was my limit?"
Ken smirked slightly as her dull red eyes stared at the man. She walked past him finally heading to the ma.s.sive building. The gate dropped behind her causing a ma.s.sive thud. The force of it dropping actually lifted her off of the ground for a moment but she caught her balance quickly.
Finally, she was about to complete her destiny...
The Enforcers training school. A ma.s.sive skysc.r.a.per that stood far above any other building in the city. It had nearly three hundred floors and was where young heroes go to be molded. People who pa.s.sed the entrance exam would be given a dorm room with a designated team. Here they would be put through h.e.l.l as they are forced to study, as well as train physically... To become an Enforcer would require an insane amount of effort. The Enforcers were both a place of learning and a place of hate. Oleander city was where the Enforcers called their home. And this building was where it would all begin.
Ken was about to enter the building but stopped when she noticed several large signs placed around the entrance. They were all noticeable and had several different things they all went over. She quickly realized that it was a list of rules? Not too surprising since the Enforcers were part school part governmental organization, but some of the rules were... Kind of weird?
"Warning: No using your Attributes in the halls. Warning: Do not fight inside the halls. Warning: You are not allowed out past curfew Warning: You may challenge the Captains but we highly recommend that you do not. If you choose to do so than we the league of the Enforcers may not be held responsible for any kind of life-threatening injuries you may gain. Warning: If you are female and come across the Vice-Captain known as Jackson Storm you are not allowed to be flirtatious with him. You as well as he will both be sent to the hospital. You have been warned. Warning: if you come across a man wearing a black cloak who is sleeping please do not wake him. He will kill you. Warning: If you are sleeping and feel like someone is watching you please ignore it. He will go away after a while. Warning: You are under no circ.u.mstance allowed to keep a Bestia Macht as a pet. Especially if it is cool looking. Warning: You are not allowed to take down any of these signs and simply ignore the rules. Warning: You are not allowed to ignore the rules because they don"t suit you. Warning: No cameras. Warning: Saying "f.u.c.k it" does not mean you are allowed to do what you want. Warning: Please stop asking Vice-Captain Mary to show off her Attribute."
Ken blinked as she stared at the long line of rules. "What the h.e.l.l am I getting myself into..." She wondered aloud as her dull red eyes seemed to glow slightly. She brushed her shoulder-length black hair back as she let out a sigh. "Well... Let"s do this..."
The door opened slowly as the young girl entered the ma.s.sive building. Inside was a ma.s.sive open room full of people. Many of them appeared to be her age or close to it. None of them stood out. Well none of them except for a single guy.
The man stood up above the rest of the kids. He looked to be in his early twenties and his electric blue eyes stared at everything in amus.e.m.e.nt as he looked around. His eyes darted over to Kens and for a moment red met blue.
Ken turned away from the man as she began to walk. Her eyes darted at various people as the stared dully at everything.
"Why so bored? I get that nothing has happened but still..." Ken nearly jumped as she turned to find the man next to her suddenly.
"What?" She asked confused and startled.
"You just look so dull?" The man said struggling to put it to words.
Ken reached up placing a hand under her eyes for a second. "You mean my eyes right. They may look dull but I a.s.sure you I am far from bored." She stated simply.
The man tilted his head slightly as his electric blue eyes stared into her dull red ones. "They look really dull and bored? I don"t see how you can see everything in such a dull manner and yet still find it fun?" The man said letting out a quiet click of the tongue. "Than again those eyes of yours are just like my friends... You"ve clearly seen some things haven"t you."
"Nope!" Ken said shaking her head. "I haven"t. Before today I worked as a temporary town guard. I would go from town to town taking over the job for a week and allowing the previous guards to rest. I was paid with shelter and food. It was extremely boring and so after nearly ten years of the job, my eyes just permanently became dull."
"So then what made you want to become an Enforcer."
"Simple," Ken said as she placed her hands on her hips. "I"m going to become a famous hero and fight strong people because I was bored...."
"Well, it seems like you have your life figured out..." The man said backing away slowly. "And thankfully you are doing far better then most..."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, there was this really annoying teen who-"
"Escape chance!" A voice called out. Ken felt a hand on her shoulder as she turned around only to see Hero Otoko... "I decided to hang out with you since I recognize you!" Hero announced dully.
"Oh G.o.d d.a.m.n it..." Both Ken and the man said letting out a sigh.
Meanwhile at the gate of the Enforcer"s headquarters Kitsune stood awkwardly as the man stared down at his envelope. "A n.o.ble huh..." The man said slowly as he glanced back up at the teen. "That makes two this year... Weird."
"Umm yes, sir..." Kitsune said nodding his head. "I"m from the family of-"
"I already know what blasted family you come from..." The man said letting out a brief sigh. "I knew your brother... I was standing here when I heard the news... I"m sorry for what happened..."
"Thank you..." Kitsune said quietly as he nodded his head.
"I a.s.sume that is why you are here right?" He questioned.
"Yes, sir," Kitsune said nodding his head. "As a kid, I was always told several stories about the Enforcers. I used to think they were cool and amazing. I still love listening and reading about them. I"m here to become a hero. Not for fame or glory but because it is what my brother would have done." Kitsune announced standing tall. "Although the fame and glory wouldn"t hurt..." He thought sheepishly.
The man smirked slightly as he flexed. "I like you kid. You"re the second person today to get me to say that. I"ll be rooting for you. Oh and if you see some girl with dull red eyes call her short for me. She hates that... Oh and if you see a kid with multi-colored eyes call him a duma.s.s. He"ll know why..."
"Umm. Alright? I"ll do that?"
The man turned and quickly lifted up the ma.s.sive golden gates. Kitsune entered and quickly made his way over to the building. He briefly stared at the signs in slight confusion as he walked past them.
Kitsune reached the door slowly aw he placed his hand on the handle. "Well... This is it. After this, I will take the test and officially become an Enforcer. This will be the start of my story. This is-"
"Just open the door you wuss!" The gatekeeper yelled out watching Kitsune rant slightly.
Kitsunes"s eye twitched as his "cool" speech was ruined. He took a deep breath. Then slowly he opened the door.
