The next day I deliberately came to the training dojo early in the morning so I could have a little chat with my friends.

How shocked I was, when I found a long black-haired young man on a horse-tailed shoulder already there. The young man's face was extremely handsome, his face was like a perfect work of art complete with sharp black eyes and an expressionless cold face.

Zircon is the only son of uncle Morgan and aunt Garnet. Zircon has been sweating a lot at the moment, must have been practicing long enough. He stopped the push-ups with his one finger upon seeing my arrival.

I haven't gotten a chance, Zircon has reprimanded me. "You're late Jez, it's been an hour I've been waiting for you." He said very upset. 

Zircon was only three years older than me, but somehow he looked even more mature than Diamond who was older than him. His calm demeanor, cold innate even tend to be ketus very opposite to the cheerful Diamond.

"Well, you're misinformed, buddy. Just look at Uncle Kunzite has not arrived yet...Looks like you got bullied by him hehe." I smiled amusedly looking at Zircon's face which turned sour. 

Without commenting he continued the push-up movement. Makes me want to not want to come push up ria together beside him.

Shortly after Kunzite's uncle came, astonished to see the two of us who had been diligent in training even before he arrived.

"Uncle, where's Diamond?" Zircon asked impatiently.

"Diamond?...I think he was still asleep when I left." Answer uncle Kunzite.

Zircon snorted annoyedly at the answer.

"I got here, uncle, excuse me." Zircon packed his towel and bottle, he threw a 'let me drag him here' look at me before leaving the dojo.

I can only laugh back at him. They both always have been. There is no day without fighting like cats and dogs.

In the later lessons until lunch, Zircon and Diamond did not see the trunk of his nose. Makes me cranky and cranky.

Even when their gear lessons were not present, I was training with uncle Morgan as much as I could. Well actually there's a good thing that they didn't come, they wouldn't laugh at me when I was doing the wrong combo moves or missed the target.

I can concentrate fully on learning new styles that are even more cool and exciting than the video shows...

But my concentration collapsed instantly as two super-sophisticated Gear passed above our training ground. Red gear with his sword and blue gear with his double rifle. Both gears must be at the level of the private gear belonging to the commander or soldier with the rank of sergeant and above, which according to uncle Morgan I have not been able to control.

I couldn't move, just amazed to see the two gears fighting in front of me, beating each other.

The explosions as the two gears collided made my blood stir with passion. Who is the pilot of the two gears? How could they enter and fight in this palace area?

"Stop that!...I said stop!" Shouted uncle Morgan furiously, there was a hint of worry in his voice.

But the two gears continued to fight, the blue gear managed to shoot the red gear until it fell to the ground. As the approaching blue gear was about to strike again the red gear unsheathed its sword, a crushing and deadly attack should the blue gear fail to dodge.

Unknowingly I enjoyed this fight more and more, the more curious the two pilots were in it.

When I realized, I had already jumped down from my Common Gear, a Gear commonly used by warriors or transportation equipment. Which of its shape alone has lost far compared to the two private gear that are fighting it.

I was standing next to Uncle Morgan whose anger was already rising, his face was red once restraining the anger.

"Stop! The zircon! The diamond! Stop that!" Shouted him again. I was shocked to realize that the gear pilots were Zircon and Diamond, their levels were already so far above me, so cool!

A few minutes later Uncle Morgan's patience was completely exhausted as the two gears continued to fight regardless of his warning. 

"STOP! FENRIR, PHOENIXES... OFF!" His shout was followed by a slightly strange internal force pressure and suddenly the two gears that were ready to attack each other stopped moving, sculpting.

Those two gears seemed to be just down. The cockpit where the pilot was both exposed, Zircon came out of the red gear and Diamond from the blue gear, both soaked in sweat, panting with hunting breaths.

"What the fuck are you guys?" Uncle Morgan's chin twitched in anger. As fast as lightning approached the two of them who were panting bent down to catch their breath.

"We're just rehearsing a duel hehe." Diamond replied trying to smile on his breath hunting him.

"Is that really Zircon?" Uncle morgan asked for an explanation.

"True dad." Zircon replied firmly, with a perfect attitude. Although clearly visible he is also still having trouble breathing.

Understandably, in the military world uncle Morgan is the superior of the two of them. But why is Diamond's attitude still relaxed? That kid, it's still all he wants.

"If only training wasn't necessary to get Phoenix and Fenrir out, right? Especially with full armament!" Hardik he was suspicious. Zircon was only able to duck deeply while Diamond grinned the horse was unable to answer.

"Good thing you two are okay.ayo!" Uncle Morgan pulled and tore the shirt on the back of their necks with both hands.

"Till here our lesson today, Prince Jasper. I'll take them both to the hospital."

"Whatever happens don't touch those two gears!" Uncle Morgan ran half flying and took my two best friends away.

"So this is Phoenix and Fenrir?" My caveman watched the two gears closely but dared not touch them according to Uncle Morgan's orders. I'd really love to touch him, but super serious uncle Morgan couldn't possibly ban him for no reason. And whatever the reason is for my good.

But I'm pretty happy with this free time. From the palace I was escorted by my two personal guards Dextra and Sinistra. They drove me in a fancy black limousine to a central hospital in the middle of the city. Arriving at the hospital and my friend's second room being treated, I asked my two bodyguards to wait outside the room while I entered.

How shocked I was when I opened the door, I found Diamond and Zircon not on the bed. They stood alert in a combat-ready position, brandishing each other's pillows in their hands.

Both of them simultaneously turned to realize my arrival, stopping the fist. Both went to their own bed.

I could only see them, not believing what I had just seen. Obviously they look still weak, pale and a lot of plaster attached to their bodies. But why?...

"What the fuck?" I stood between their two beds.

"Just ask him." Dengus Zircon. Back to his bed.

"I'm not lying, because I'm totally asleep. Not playing you because I didn't know you were looking for me. I didn't say anything but the truth about you either. To be honest, your sword swing is very soft and weak. Similar swing sissy wahahaha." Diamod.

"Suckers! You're the most annoying person!" Zircon sat up straight in his bed ready to throw another pillow at Diamond.

"If anyone else would've killed you long ago." He threw the pillow with emotion towards Diamond.

"Why didn't you kill until now? Can't stand your ability now, huh? Don't expect to beat me with your effulgence!" Diamond threw back his pillow.

The atmosphere is getting heated up, not only pillow wars but also oral wars that the longer the topic is getting deviated and unimportant even more ridiculous. Like a two-child fight.

I went from where I pulled over to the wall, avoiding the rain of pillows upon me.

Soon the door opened, and a young doctor came in. The doctor was very young, looking neat, clean and very pinched in his white coat.

He's my other best friend Opal. 'The genius of Opal' with all its virtues, cleverness, civility and perfection. Opal's age with Zircon is only three years older than me. But with all that nature he was even like some level more mature than the three of us.

"Hey what the hell is this?" Her question scrunched up her forehead looking at us in turn.

"Party!" Diamond replied casually, he threw himself into the bed.

Realizing that his dueling opponent had no desire to fight Zircon was lying on his bed.

"Good afternoon, Prince Jasper." Opal came up to me, bowing with great reverence to me, paying her respects.

Makes me take a few awkward steps back. Opal, not caring about my awkwardness, got up and checked the condition of her two patients.

"Is this your welcome to me? Must be on duty on holiday to treat patients who are still able to fight pillows?" He smiled friendly.

"What do you really mean, huh?" But suddenly his smile disappeared and changed with a serious and cynical face staring at his two patients. It's scary, it's like he has a double personality.

"Hahaha whereas we were hoping to be treated by the beautiful doctor Amethys Sumeragi. But what power comes even Opal Sumeragi doctor...That's fucking shit." Diamond replied trying to sound carefree.

"Is it true that's all?" Opal asked again full of emphasis and glanced at me at a glance.

Hey what does this have to do with me trying? Does he think I'm in their silly quarrel?

"Here you go, you won't be able to lie to her." Zircon spoke up. "We want to introduce the Japer to our gear, Phoenix and Fenrir"

"I'm sure he's been able to control gear at our level. Phoenix, Fenrir or Hydra are yours." Diamond added.

"Well, but Jez wouldn't even touch them. It's a waste of our struggle." Continue to sigh disappointed.

"So you?..." I can't believe I heard that. I was overwhelmed to learn that my friends thought of me so far. So all this weird behavior of theirs for me? I feel lucky to have friends like them.

"I thought so." Opal smiled with satisfaction.

"And as always I will support your crazy plans. Because I think you need a tactician, so as not to be haphazard like this. So this is my role..."

"You better prepare yourself, Jez." Continue patting my familiar back and smiling broadly at me.

Diamond and Zircon also smiled meaningfully, agreeing with their promise to me...

But I really don't understand what they mean. What are they gonna do?
