At the moment, they all were still practicing at Lord Izta's palace. The combat magus champion had given them access to the training facilities of his home, letting them use them as they saw fit. He even provided a quarter for Emery and the others to live in during their time there.
Seeing how much effort and trust Lord Izta had placed on them, the group was doing their best to increase their strength, so as to not disappoint the magus. There was no way they would let Lord Izta hear the news of them losing when he came back from his task.
All of them had been currently practicing with the level 6 combat puppets. The one in the lead was still Thrax, who completely exceeded his friends and had been practicing with the level 7 puppet for a while now. Each stage of the puppet was much harder than the previous one.
