The next day.
Edygil – I finished your equipment.
Cassandra – I liked my outfit.
Shana – My outfit seems to be very comfortable, and this staff is really good.
Koharu – My outfit helps with flexibility.
Fujimoto – My outfit is very simple, but it has a good rack to store swords, and of course the sword seems to be good.
Max – My outfit helps with my movements.
Kairo – My outfit helps with agility, and I liked the sword I got.
Kairo smiles.
Kairo – Edygil, you are a great toolmaker.
Edygil smiles.
Edygil – How about you train in the morning, afternoon and evening to test the outfits.
Everyone agrees.
Edygil – How about we draw lots to see who will train with whom in each period, and the same participant is allowed to be chosen.
Everyone agrees. Edygil makes a jar with everyone's name. Fujimoto is the first to draw.
Fujimoto – I'll be paired with Kairo.
Koharu is the next to draw.
Koharu – I'll be paired with Cassandra.
Edygil – So Shana and Max will be paired.
Fujimoto, Koharu, Cassandra and Kairo look worried.
Fujimoto – (Will this work?)
Koharu – (Shana and Max as a pair is something that won't work very well.)
Cassandra – (These two might try to kill each other.)
Kairo – (I'm going to ask Kairo to change.)
Shana then sighs.
Shana – Don't worry.
Fujimoto, Koharu, Cassandra and Kairo are surprised.
Shana – Max and I aren't kids, we know that the focus is on training. Right Max?
Max – Yes.
Max then sees everyone with a worried expression.
Max – Don't worry, nothing will happen.
Edygil claps his hands.
Edygil – I'm glad everything is sorted out, but I still have something to tell you.
Kairo – What?
Edygil – I designated some points in the Cacadel forest.
Cassandra – The forest we went to yesterday.
Edygil – Yes. I designated some points there as A, B and C.
Koharu – I think I understand, so you'll choose us to go to these points to train. Is that it?
Edygil – Yes, now let's start. Fujimoto and Kairo at point A.
Fujimoto and Kairo – Got it.
Edygil – Koharu and Cassandra at point B.
Koharu and Cassandra – Okay.
Edygil – Shana and Max at point C.
Shana and Max – Got it.
Fujimoto – Now let's go guys.
Edygil – None of that!
Kairo – But why?
Edygil – First you will have your breakfast.
Fujimoto – Understood.
Kairo raises his hand.
Kairo – How are we going to know what time lunch, afternoon snack and dinner will be?
Edygil – I will call you, so you can have your breakfast and then go train.
Fujimoto – Okay.
Everyone then has breakfast. They rest for about ten minutes.
Fujimoto – Now can we go?
Edygil – Yes, since it is the first day I will take you there.
Kairo – Understood.
Edygil takes each pair to their point. At point A are Fujimoto and Kairo training.
Kairo – Fujimoto, do you know how to use a sword?
Fujimoto is embarrassed.
Fujimoto – (Only in games, but never in reality.)
Fujimoto – No, you could help me.
Kairo – Okay.
Kairo shows and teaches Fujimoto how to use a sword.
Fujimoto – I think I understand.
Fujimoto tries to do it, but he does it clumsily.
Fujimoto – What do you think?
Kairo – He needs to improve a lot, with all due respect, but this way it will be complicated.
Kairo – (It looks like we're going to have some work to do, but let's go.)
Fujimoto – It doesn't matter, I'm not going to give up.
Kairo is surprised by Fujimoto's determination.
Kairo – Then let's continue.
Meanwhile, at point B.
Koharu – You're really good at hand-to-hand combat.
Cassandra – You too.
Cassandra tries to kick Koharu, but Koharu protects herself by putting one of her arms up to block, then she grabs Cassandra with her other arm and knocks Cassandra down. Koharu goes to Cassandra who is down.
Koharu – It looks like I won this round.
Cassandra then smiles. Cassandra then trips Koharu and knocks her down. Cassandra then immobilizes Koharu.
Cassandra – Koharu, just a tip from someone who has experience. You only defeat your opponent when he is immobilized or unable to fight.
Koharu then smiles.
Koharu – It seems like I lost, but I'll take this tip.
Meanwhile, at point C.
Shana – Either that staff is pretty sturdy or your punches are weak.
Max – Don't provoke me, you damn thing!
Max then starts to punch, but Shana blocks the punch with the staff.
Shana – Can we stop for a moment to talk about something important?
Max then stops.
Max – About what?
Shana – I'm waiting for my apology for accusing me of destroying Seseferin.
Max gets angry.
Max – I won't apologize, because you're a stupid bitch.
Shana – It's because you're so stubborn that I'm not mad at you for cheating on me with someone else in bed.
Max – What?!
Shana – But I didn't want to talk to you alone to fight, but to give you a warning.
Max – A warning?
Shana – Stay alert, because I suspect Alisiya may be watching us.
Max – I understand what you mean, that damn thing deserves to die.
Shana – Now enough talking and let's get back to training.
Max – Okay.
Hours later pass and Edygil picks everyone up so they can have lunch.
