Due to the nature of the training of the members of the Unlucky Team, they could not simply use the Nascent Arts against each other lightly.
Even though each of them was confident that they could control the final force of their Flux Arts, it was still an unnecessary risk to take.
Anyone who got injured could spend days recovering, and as a team, they could not afford to cause unnecessary problems for themselves.
Therefore, for each one to demonstrate the full strength of their arts, Ciona requested that some servants bring half a dozen wooden dummies to the platform.
Since the platform was quite spacious, having more than enough room for them to move freely without worrying about the edges, the presence of the six wooden dummies would not affect the performance of any of them.
