"What did you do back there?"
Arsenal had been waiting to hear these words, somehow, General Mikah's silence seemed scary, he was waiting to be scolded as they walked back to the main academy facility and Mikah finally said those words that he wanted to hear.
"He was a hundred times more powerful than I am, sir." Arsenal retorted, keeping his head low the whole time.
"I am sorry."
"Don't tell me that." Mikah cut him off,
"You have just one week to prove your worth to him, or else you'll mess all this up for me."
"Perhaps you might know what kind of skill he looks out for in a student and I will try to improve in those areas." Arsenal inquired, he wanted to ask this question a while back but didn't want to initiate the conversation.
