"Alright, this may or may not be my last day mentoring you guys. So please listen up!"

The crowds full of knights were gathered to one. Instead of listening, they all wishpered to each other.

Y/n sighed. She stopped talking for a while. Taking in a deep breath, hands went for the stick.

Not so loud bang was heard. It wasn't that loud but it's enough to catch everyone's attentions.

"Is this how you treat your higher-ups?" She raised her voice.

"If it's the rumor about me and the Fatuis bither you so much, then close the door from outside! Fatui is one of our allies, but they're much worse!" Y/n demanded. She didn't care who talked about her.

"One!"

"Two!"

One by one, a lot of people walked outside the door. "Three!"

Half of the people went missing. Y/n sighed as she shook her head. "I bet they're reporting with Master Jean," she muttered.

'What are they? Housewives?'

Y/n cleared her throat. She glanced at the people who stayed loyal. Or rather, didn't want to wet their pants from her scoldings. "I suspect you guys aren't housewives, so let's get on!"

Jean sighed as the man stood in front of her. "Who told you she has violated, hm?" Her voice was stern. It was getting uncontrolable each day.

The knight stood there silent. "Do you know why I chose her as the person who has one of a high rankings?" She asked, more like demanded.

"It was because she has respect, determind to protect, polite, and strong," Jean answered her own question.

"A past isn't something to look at. It was something for you to study. As for example, if you pick an apple from the tree, will you be able to put it back?"

The knight shook his head. "An apple which fell, won't come back. But the new apple will grow. So someone's past doesn't matter. Afterall, if you know, what can you do?" Jean asked.

"B-but-"

"Bring her to me."

It's been a week after Y/n got out from the Mondstads, doing random quest she could find.

Y/n sighed as she sat down on the rocks. She felt like her legs could break at any moment. She drank the water from the bottle she brought.

"Ah, finally," she sighed in relief. But a sudden question came to her. 'I wonder what's Klee doing right now.'

She took off the shoes. The aching feet was hurting her very bad. She couldn't walk anymore. Slowly, she put down her feet on the river, enjoying the scenery while she still can.

At least before continuing on her expedition. A sigh escaped her legs as she could feel the water washed her feet. Refreshing, just the thing she needed for a while.

Y/n was paying attention to the monsters infront of her. The mages and the hilichurls came along together to one. How did she get into this kind of situation?

"S-stand back!"

Her sword was pointing at them. "I will leave, if you let me!"

It was terrifying for her. She had no experience in swords. Her small frail, body laying on the ground.

The taste of the chemicals on her lips. She was breathing rapidly. The wound over her body ached her. "What can you do?" The Mage asked.

Y/n stabbed the sword on the ground inorder to stood up again. The energy she used, all in one.
