Did you forget? today is the age coming ceremony in our village, said Reika to Ting
(In a village of wuli, situated in the far East, children who has reached the age of 17years has to go through a trial to show their adulthood, a tradition carried through generation after generation)
Ting ran as he heard and Reika followed him to the shrine, (the place where the shrine located was in border bloom with 'Dianthus' flowers which bloom almost all round the year)
The chief and elders and other villager was already in the shrine and the participants of the trial too was there, the chief saw that Ting has not yet arrived so he was kind of waiting for him
Finally Ting reached along with Reika,
The chief stand up and declare the trial to start and asked the children to do their best and not to get injured and hope that this year too will be able to show the strength of 'wuli' which has been pass down by our ancestors and asked one of the elder to explain the trial for this year.
the elder stood up and said that for this year the participants need to cross the border of blooming Dianthus and go to wasteland to hunt and whoever hunt the most will be the winner of this year trial and asked never to cross the line supervise by elder because it will be dangerous(as wasteland is the dividend between human and demon domain in barren land.
Then suddenly as the elder was giving instructions Rih acclaimed and challenge Ting that today is the day that he was going to defeat him and even asked to make a bet because Rih actually like Reika but she was always hanging out with Ting so he was kind of jealous
In which Reika got angry and told Rih not to bothered Ting and told him that he will never beat Ting because from the young age Ting was excellent in swordsmanship and used to go to hunt with his grandfather and his father as a training but suddenly one day both of them disappear leaving him alone in village and in those time Reika was always with him.
