The sound of metal on metal echoed throughout the room. I deflected an attack and attempted a counterattack by quickly spinning my spear.

"No, that's enough for today."
The professor gestured to the clock across the room.
"We've been training for three hours, and while it's not a bad thing to push yourself, it's better not to overdo it."
