Wil''are you ready to go?, we don't have all day?''

Vliney''Yes, I'm ready to go, let's give the new ones a warm welcome to the guards''She smug smiles and walks off with her hand behind her head.

Wil sighs''You will be too hard on them''

''Well yes''Vliney looks at Wil with a cold look''Everyone that joins will go through hell so they get stronger, so I will not show much mercy to the new one''
