"Yes, fighting monsters, fighting people, searching for old relics and weapons." She said.

"Cool. Cause we're about to have an opportunity to see your skills in action", the blonde noted. "Heads up! Sand Worm!" she warned, as they could see a massive wave of sand torpedo'ing straight towards them from afar.

The giant monster almost leaped out of the sand to meet her in mid air with its open maw, but she managed to flip over it and strike it successfully. Still, the monster didn't die just yet, its gigantic size likely making it much more resilient than its smaller kin.
Blake folloed her lead, taking off her own seatbelt and somersaulting into the air as she hacked at the beast with what appeared to be a kusarigama with a ribbon instead of chain, though Stella heard gunshots with every strike. Again, the monster was shaken, but not dead yeat.

In a display of the overwhelming power of the legendary swordswoman Stella was, she swung her blade with lethal might and accuracy, and swiftly decapitated the giant worm in one, clean strike!
"...Daaaaamn, son", Yang let out in admiration as she parked the jeep next to her as the massive worm's corpse crashed back down into the sand.

"No problem." She said wincing as she made it back inside the jeep as she finally realized how hot the sand was. "Ow ow ow ow!" She cried jumping back inside.

"Oof. You okay? The sand does get pretty hot during the day", Yang said, as Blake came back in the jeep too.

"Yeah I'm fine... Just a bit uncomfortable is all." She admitted rebuckling her seatbelt.

"Still, nice work. I heard you were strong, but... that was beyond my expectations", she said with enthusiasm as she floored it in case there were more of the monster around.
After a rather uneventful rest of the trip, they arrived in sight of a massive, somewhat circular, futuristic-looking structure, silver, golden, blue and steel grey in color, pretty much the most breathtaking building Stella had ever seen... at least, outside of Imperium City itself.
"Balamb Garden, home of the SeeD mercenaries, and military academy", Yang announced as they arrived in sight, soon parking next to it.

"Impressive." Stella said putting her shoes back on and getting out of the jeep.

Yang and Blake let her through the beautiful and shiny entrance and hallways, passing by several people in what looked like a mix between a school, and a military uniform with different variations. They soon enough made it to a door to an office, with Blake knocking.
"Yes, come in!" said a feminine, confident voice. Blake opened the door, revealing a rather fancy, carpeted office with no less lavish desk, armchair and other furniture. And sitting in said armchair was a beautiful woman with long, silvery hair, sky blue hair in a blue-grey business two-pieces suit, black low-heeled dress shoes, and white gloves.
"Ah, our guest. Thank you, Ms. Belladonna, Ms. Xiao Long. I'll take it from here", she said, inviting Stella in with a simple hand gesture.
"Yes ma'am", the blonde said as they closed the door behind them and left.
"Please, Ms. Vermillion, have a seat", she said, with a pair of comfy looking chairs in front of her desk. "I am known as Professor Cid. Short for Cidney Frostwind. Pleasure to meet you. I'm... told you came across a bit of an obstacle on your way here. I'm sorry to hear that, although it seems you have dealt with the issue quite well."

"I did." Stella nodded moving to sit down in a chair.

She smiled.
"Excellent work on that. Those creatures are no joke, especially the largest ones. I won't beat around the bush. My organization trains or recruits the best and the brightest within our ranks so we can handle any job as they come to us. The world is a chaotic place and we need to be as strong as can be to respond to any threat. Which in turns brings us to you. Your reputation puts you on the level of legendary swordsmen at such a young age. I want you by our side", she stated.

"... I'm not sure... I prefer to be able to call my own shots, and have plenty of room for my hobbies and collections." She said.
