The Salle, Sunday afternoon
It had happened again. Shiemi had been on an ExWire assignment with the rest of her class. A simple assignment to investigate the haunting of a farm just outside of True Cross. It had taken them a week but they'd finally manifested the demon... demons, it turned out. And not ghosts, but Reapers. These frog were a smaller variety than what they trained with at the academy, so Shiemi had assumed it would be an easy task to deal with them when she came across a nest on her own. But then she'd let her negative emotions get control of her and the group of Reapers had picked up on them and turned to attack her. Nii-chan had protected her, of course, but that meant she'd had to cower and wait for one of the others to help.
She thought she'd gotten stronger! But no. So here she was, finally taking Dante-san's advice and learning how to use a weapon. The school had a weird name for their dojo, but she'd finally found the 'salle' and there were lots of swords here! She finally found one that wasn't too heavy and was very pretty. It didn't look a bit like Rin's or like any of the other demon swords they'd learned about so far, but the name plate by it said 'fleuret' and that was a flower so it was OBVIOUSLY perfect for her!
Right?
Shiemi gripped the small sword tightly and took a deep breath, then let it out in a feeble yell and ran at the dummy with the same hack-and-slash attacks she'd seen Rin use in fights.
[open! And yes she is attacking a dummy with a fencing sword!]
