Abby was downright panicking the moment the flames began to lick at her arms. The heat was excruciatingly painful and she didn't know how much more she could hold on. Then suddenly, as if someone in heaven had heard her, water came raining down all around them and soaked her to the bone. She felt instant relief from the cold water but coughed a bit when some went up her nose. It wasn't until she was finished with her coughing fit did she notice a red-haired woman jump down and start yelling at a pink-haired boy she didn't notice before. Abby was wondering who the lady was when the weight around her shoulders suddenly became heavier. 

"What the-?" She looked to her side to see the dark-haired teen who had been helping her walking up to the woman as well, leaving her to take care of the heavy unconscious man all on her own.

"Hey you jerk!" She called out before falling on her knees when the weight was too much for her. Abby hissed as the pain shot up from her knees and tears welled at her eyes. The fall would surely leave a mark later.

Sonya twitched as she did her best to hold herself back from punching not one but two whiny brats when they started to yell at her for stupid reasons, like who she was and why she didn't stop the fire in the first place. The first thing Decimo told her after she was given this mission was that she needed to work on her temper. And there was no way she was going to disappoint her boss. Taking a deep breath, she gave everyone a deadly glare, hoping it would shut them up long enough to give them her full explanation.

"I am Sonya Dmitriev, a mercenary for the strongest familiga in the mafia world, the Vongola family. I was sent here by the 10th Vongola Boss to train his heir, the future 11th Vongola Boss, a.k.a. you, Naoto Alato." She turned her gaze onto the pink-haired boy for a moment before turning back to everyone else, "I am also here to test and train the six Guardians who will be tasked to protect and serve the future Undecimo.

"Cyril Leggieri, you are the candidate for the Guardian of the Storm,

"Jakki Dafne, you are the candidate for the Guardian of Rain,

"Abigail de Luca and Fionn Breckenridge, the two of you are candidates for the Guardian of the Sun,

"Daisuke Honda, you are the candidate for the Guardian of Thunder,

"Benjamin Silva, you are the candidate for the Guardian of the Cloud,

"And finally, Joli S., you are the candidate for the Guardian of the Mist." As she listed off the names of each teenager in the area, Sonya made sure to make eye contact with each and everyone one of them to show just how serious this was. When she was finished, she turned her gaze onto Cyril and gave him a glare.

"The reason I didn't stop the fire earlier was because it was your first test. However, I was not the one who assigned it. Rather, it was from someone much higher up than I and much more dangerous than you can imagine. He is not happy with the results he has seen and I intend to fix that. Any questions?"

Abby's hand immediately shot up when she saw that the scary lady seemed to be done with her speech. "Can I get some help please?!" She screamed, her legs on fire from having to hold up the unconscious man all by her tiny lonesome. Sonya simply sighed and shook her head. What did she sign herself up for?
