"Nova academy students? Why are you here?" Reese, Brad, and Jerold found that they had caught the eyes of three instructors who had just sent off students to do sparring along with other one on one training.
"To get tougher." Brad didn't bat an eye and responded without much thought. This was what he was after and he wouldn't be taking any other path.
"To refine the swordsmanship that my family had used for generations. To be strong enough to wield my partner under any circumstance." Reese was more eloquent but he also had the vibration of his abyssal sword as proof that it also wanted to help its tamer become stronger.
"I need to be a scout. I plan to hide and evade within the groups of students here. Without using my partner's skills." Jerold had made a different decision. He relied on his armored chameleon's ability to turn him invisible for attacks and scouting. But Jerold himself, was far behind in any physical abilities to hide and scout by comparison.
