The duels went on for hours on end through several rounds and by the time they were done, the men were sprawled on the floor drenched in blood and sweat. "Good work today." Sir Martius spoke, not a strand of his hair out of place despite him joining in on the fight occasionally. "Now, gather around everyone."
The men begrudgingly stood up and walked toward the center where Martius stood.
"Yes, Sir." The energy was missing even in their tone.
"You've all been doing well so far, nevertheless, we feel it's time you get some real-life experience by working under a mentor of the sort." His opening words caught their attention as they all looked at him with curiosity, their energy level boosted up by a percent. "Through this experience, we hope you can learn a thing or two from your respective mentors and put it to good use on the field and even during training. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Sir."
