The sound of a foot tapping can be heard in the hallway. Many doors can be seen. Many people are walking around, some running holding documents.

A hand grabs onto Alices shoulder making Alice turn around to see whose hand it was.

"You nervous?" Said Ira

Alice with a slight nervous smile "Just a little."

Ira removing his hand on her shoulder then leans on the wall "That much is normal since you only had a month to train. It's kind of unfortunate that we didn't have more time but no pressure you'll do just fine."

"You can say that since you're already hired. Mind giving me any insider tip?" Grabbing onto Ira clothes she begs him.

"No can do since I'm not the one that arranges these interviews. Plus I'm the one that recommended you remember? They are aware so they didn't tell me anything. But I know you'll do just fine." Ira then removes Alice hand from his clothes.

"Gee thanks for the encouragement it will surely help." As Alice says it in a sarcastic tone.

"If I fail you'll be the one paying for the funeral." 

"They won't kill you just because you'll fail, we have other divisions in the organization. Chances are they'll just put you in one of the division. So regardless you'll still be hired even if you fail. This is more or less an assessment of which division you'll be put in."

"Then which division are you?"

"Demon extermination. Anyways I have to go change into my work attire since me and Laos are gonna go patrol around Ordi."

Ira then walks down the hallway and says "Best of luck to you." while waving his hand.

Alice waves back with smile "Yeah will do."

Inhaling and exhaling slowly Alice closes her eyes and recollects the training Ira gave her.

In the 1 month of her training every single day was excruciating for her.

From intense physical exercise,hand to hand combat,weapon combat and demonology lessons.

Her physicals overall improved a lot despite in such a short time and the food she ate were cooked by Ira himself with a balanced meal.

Her hand to hand combat being only taught the general basics.

In weapon combat she surprisingly excels especially using a bowstaff or something long.

The demonology lessons she barely remembered much.

All of these in 1 month.

Snap!

Somebody is snapping their fingers at Alice trying to get her attention

"Miss Alice."

"MISS ALICE!"

Opening her eyes she looks at the woman in front of her wearing black blouse and pants.

"It's time for your interview Miss Alice. Please follow me."

Alice standing up and tidying her clothes she does what assumingly her interviewer says.

Climbing a few stairs till they reached the 4th floor of the building.

A door with a nameplate that says 'Leader Office'.

The woman knocks on the door for a few seconds then a voice inside the office could be heard.

"Who is it?"

"I've brought miss Alice, Sir Graim."

"Ahh, the new recruit. Tell her to come in."

The woman moves to the side and signals Alice to go inside.

"Pardon me."

There a man sitting with long luscious black hair surrounding a comforting atmosphere who looks to be no over past his mid 20s.

Yellow colored eyes with lots of confidence just from staring into his eyes. 

"Please do take a seat Miss Alice. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

"My name is Graim. Graim Osnovatel."

"I've heard a lot about you from Ira. It seems you two somewhat have great friendship between you two."

"Um thanks, he is very quiet and have a stare that is cold as ice."

"Hahahaha, that is very much true, even his peers say so."

"But on to the main topic. You're aware what the purpose of this organization is? Miss Alice?"

"I have somewhat general idea of it thanks to Iras lessons."

"That's good to know."

"I'm going to be asking you a few questions then have a practical test of your skills."

"Hit me." As Alice pounds on her chest.

"How energetic." Graim says with a smile.

"Then let's get to it then."

A few minutes of asking Alice skill and knowledge about first aid,evacuation and etc..

Then moving to another large building with lots of space specifically for combat and practice.

"Now then miss Alice what is your preferred way of fighting? Straight hands or weapon?"

"Preferably weapons sir. Since my physical isn't built for hand to hand combat but I do know the basics to it."

"I see, then what type of weapon?"

"Something like a bowstaff or just something long. I don't like getting too close."

Smiling. Graim goes into another room and brings out 2 duplicates of the weapons that Alice mentioned.

"Here, catch." Throwing the bowstaff to Alice she manages to catch it though fumbling a little.

Graim spins the long weapon in his hand then stopping it taking a stance pointing the weapon at Alice.

"Show me what you can do young lady."

Both of Alice hand grips onto the bowstaff.

Immediately running towards Graim without giving him a head up.

Using one hand putting all the force her body can muster she thrust the blunt metal stick towards Graim.

But Graim sidesteps to the right and dodged the attack.

"Predictable,but I can tell there's a considerate amount of force behind that stike. Come on keep going."

Following up she swing it to the right where Graim sidestepped.

Graim blocks it.

The sounds of metal sticks hitting each other can be heard throughout the building. 

Clang! 

Cling! 

Pulling the staff back she thrust the stick towards Graim. 

Graim catches it with his hand.

Alice let's go of her weapon then closes in Graim trying to punch him.

"(Both his hands are occupied he can't block this.)"

Graim notices and acts immediately letting his staff go and his fist goes for her abdomen.

Both their fist hit their intended target.

Both stumbles back.

Alice grits and persevere through the pain with a pained smile. 

Graim smiles. 

"Impressive. I think this is all I need for now."

"Welcome to Legacy, Miss Alice. I shall assign you to the Demon extermination division."
