"Balance... I'm not great at it," Lyrian thought as he looked around at the many students who were trying to walk on the long bamboo poles. Many continued to fall down, but some looked to have mastered the art. This was a slight sting for Lyrian since it meant that a few had better chances at defeating him in the balance duel.
'I never learned the foundations of fighting, so my body isn't very balanced. Now that I think about it, I didn't learn the foundations of cultivating either... I wonder if that's a thing.' He pondered this to himself for a short moment, before quickly brushing it off as he had important things to currently tend to. Right now, Smithing was like his one 'foundation.' It helped him control his movements, but it still seemed to not be enough for full balance. As Rerth began calling names to the platform, Lyrian tsked at the fact that he could only make a few movements before losing his balance.
