The poor youth had joined the clan a few days ago and as was the usual case Kurokuma had sent him to Gehrhart. The young man swung the wooden training sword clumsily and was easily deflected. "Listen to me closely boy" Gehrhart said as he circled the youth "When you fight someone it will not be simple, you must be prepared to kill" and with that he struck out with his training sword the youth barely blocking the strike and falling to the ground. "Whats more is you must be ready to die" Gehrhart finished as he placed the tip of the training swords blade under the young mans chin. Gehrhart put the sword down and turned away from the boy "Clean yourself off and go get some food, after you've eaten I want you to do the drills i showed you."

"Yes Sir!" The young man said as he scrambled up and hurried off towards the cooks tent. Gehrhart watched the young one scurry off and let out a sigh [i]Kurokuma challenges me more with each new recruit[/i] he thought as he placed the training sword on its rack. Gehrhart saw Sable rush to Kurokumas' cave and so he strode briskly over and after knocking on the stone enterd the section Kurokuma had claimed.
