Stanley watched as the ice melted around the man. Due to the census, people weren't leaving their homes at all, and even those that had already given the information didn't want to walk out to watch the fight. Therefore, Stanley was alone during the fight. He sat there taking in deep breaths and couldn't help but reflect on the fight. If at the last moment, he hadn't jumped and hit the man on the head, he would've most certainly lost. And losing most likely didn't just mean a few injuries in this…-

Stanley's sword was half covered in frost and the frost was traveling up the sword. If the battle lasted very long, he would no longer be able to continue holding the sword. Stanley moved back and bit and started circling around to gain some time and gather his thought as well, but his opponent wasn't letting him. The man ran for him and swung the rod again. This time, Stanley didn't let it hit him and dodged it. He was starting to understand that in a direct clash of weapons, he would be on the…

Garry belatedly realized that someone had tried to attack him from behind. Nothing very bad would've happened to him even if he was hurt, but that was not to say that he wasn't relieved to see Stanley standing behind him, stopping the person that was attacking him. "Be on your toes. Don't jump in without figuring out what his powers are," Garry said in a low voice, while constantly keeping an eye on the man with the knife in front of him. He still didn't know what his powers were either, so he was being…

The young man looked at each of the Trainees as he walked out. He especially scoffed at the one that had found him hiding in the corner of the room. He walked out into the front porch and sat down with a frowning face. Garry didn't mind the attitude, but he did ask the 6 to be prepared for it if the man decided to attack them or make a run for it. Thankfully, the man remained docile for the most part as he gave away his information. The man was a son that the old couple had when they were old.…

The couple didn't like the fact that random people were entering their house, but they had no choice. Going against a group of Defenders would be stupid after all. The group of them finally went in and looked through the entire house, taking nearly 10 minutes to do so. Stanley looked under the bed, checked inside the closest, or in the pile of clothes that was on the chair. He opened cabinets that could be hiding someone and even checked the bushes at the back of the house. He was surprised, not…

Garry arrived outside the very first house that was on the left side of the 4th row of the 2nd quadrant of the town. His task was to collect the census for as many houses as he could on this row. Since the Mayor had ordered a census, the people of a few select rows of the upper two quadrants had been made to stay at home. Because of this, they couldn't stay at home all the time, the Defenders would have to come back again the next week, or some other day they were free. Garry walked up to the house…

Garry walked on ahead with the others following him. They were walking straight up through the main road that passed in between two quadrants that rarely anyone used. This road had two small streams flowing down on either side, which went around the Defenders headquarters that was at the cross-section of the four quadrants. It wasn't that people weren't allowed to use this road, but that no one needed to. If someone had something to do in another quadrant, they could simply cross the road over to the…

Stanley handed the teacher Aaron his assessment, which the older man flipped through and nodded as he read it. "Not bad, you really have awakened quite the powers. They are simple but efficient. You will do great as a Defender surely," the man said. "Go and rest now. You guys will have to start your patrolling tomorrow and will have to help Defenders with Census." "Yes, sir," Stanley said and walked away happily. Aaron walked away, flipping through the sheets, and arrived at the training ground.…

Stanley went ahead and did some physical tests in the training area. Because the entirety of Defenders was focused on the Census and was preparing for it, Stanley had the entire training ground to himself. Only a few more people were there, but none were training themselves. He walked up to one of them and asked them to help him record some physical stats. The man had short brown hair and was a little smaller than Stanley, but not by much. He looked at him with narrowed eyes and asked, "Aren't you…

"You have powers?" Stanley's teacher questioned. His brown eyes narrowed in suspicion when he heard that. "Yes, I do," Stanley said doing his best to not show anything other than confidence on his face. The teacher kept staring at him, not believing him at all. "I- I only found out today too, sir Aaron," he quickly said. "I wasn't aware of it until this morning when my brother took me to help me train." The teacher sat back. "Fine, I'll believe you as soon as you show us your power," he said as…
