"Gather around children!" Elder Joules commanded from the podium, and the students left their display of weapons and assembled.
"Good!" She complimented.
Discipline was always an essential of cultivation. Seeing as how the students responded in speed to her order, it showed what they had learned this past few months had not gone down the drain.
"As I informed you all last week. I hope you all brought your weapons," she looked around and nodded accordingly. She could see that most had weapons and few did not at all.
"Just as you have been taught. Your sword is the tool by which you channel out your spirit energy to dominate your world. Make sure you keep it well. This will be your partner for life. Remember: A cultivator's weapon is life. if your weapon leaves your hand, you have forfeited your life."
Joules said those words with a very serious expression on her face and the children nodded accordingly.
