Today's training went by extremely similarly to yesterdays. I spared with Iris and Emilia with the rest. However, I decided against using my new learned skills against Iris; I wanted to keep those hidden for now. Having an ace up my sleeve seemed to be a good idea to me, maybe I could get something out of it one day. Building teams and going on our first missions wasn't the only thing, which would be happening in the second half of the first year. Once all the students came back, another event started. The tournament to find out the ranking between us students.
But for now I had to focus on training. Even without going "all-out" sparring against Iris was still ideal for my progression, so I couldn't see too much downside to it. Iris, of course, managed to beat me every single time but I cared less and less about it. She also appeared to treat it more and more like a training than a battle with one's life at stake.
