"Silver?" Silver lets out a hum, turning away from the recruits and turning to Peril. "I know you have like, a couple of minutes left before you fight the next recruit but-" "Sorry I'm late!" Silence befall as the third late guard has appeared. Almost immediately, everyone began to pray for the late guard. "Excuse me." Silver whispered to Peril and carefully moved past him, walking towards the guard. "And why are you late, Soldier?" "I uhm... Overslept sir." The soldier sheepishly said and Silver nodded. "I see, had a nice nap then?" "U-Uh... Yes...?" "Good, you're gonna need that rest." Silver deadpanned.

All of a sudden, the soldier was picked up and thrown harshly against the wall, that already has... Quite a lot of cracks. "Ouch." Error commented, staring at the recruit in pain. "Next time, don't be late, or I'm throwing you out the window next." Silver then walked towards the recruit and glared down at them, the recruit whimpering a bit. "Pathetic, and you want to work for the Moon Highness?" Silver growled a bit before scoffing and then walking back towards Peril. "Stand up and ready yourself! If you're lucky enough, your fellow trainees would tell you what we're doing." Silver scoffed and then turned back to the soldiers, crossing his arms a bit before turning to Peril, urging him to continue where he left off. "Oh, uh... Just wanted to ask if you could sorta... Make Error last." Peril whispered and Silver raised a brow.

"It's just that, we don't know his background, right? Yet I've seen him swiftly kill firsthand. He may have amnesia, but I don't think it's the same with his muscle memory... Even though we don't have muscles- point is, his reflex skills would probably still be on point." Peril mumbled and Silver hummed a bit in thought, that was true. If Error retained his reflexes despite his amnesia, it would definitely catch him off guard if he were to go easy on Error like he did with the other newbies...

A shame they're too weak as hell to even stand up against him, and he's not even trying.

After thinking it a bit more though, Silver then nodded at Peril, as if to say 'sure' before getting up. "Alright! Times up, next recruit!"

Peril then glanced at Error, who was mostly just in the corner and staying away from contact. At least no one's been trying to touch him though.

Soon enough, It was near Error's turn. He couldn't help but feel a bit nervous considering the fact that all of the trainees were either knocked out or bruised. And Silver's only making them dodge! He wasn't sure how this would eventually end up being in all honesty.

He hopes that he'll be able to last longer than them really, seeing the last recruit before him get knocked harshly against the wall, Silver just sighed. "Weaklings, all of you." Silver deadpanned. "Error, you're up." Error then got up and walked towards Silver, he's the last one now.

Looking at the other recruits, who simply just backed towards the wall and snickering amongst themselves, Error couldn't help but frown. He can hear them talking about him, saying that he'll fail at the first punch. That annoyed him in all honesty.

"Ready?" Silver asked as he then positioned his fists and Error slowly nodded, considering that it's just a dodging test for now, he supposes that he could just keep his hands at... Bay? Well, not use them to fight anyways.

Plus, he doesn't really... Want to hit Silver anyways, he still doesn't know how strong he actually is, they seem to be staring for a while before Silver suddenly moved his fist towards Error's skull, to which he quickly dodged with by leaning to the opposite side.

'Not bad.' Silver thought to himself, especially after quite a few failed at that. Error then quickly jumped back a bit when Silver moved with a right uppercut, watching as Silver spun around before quickly ducking when Silver did a roundhouse kick. That was fast, he honestly doesn't know how to dodge that. Silver couldn't help but raised a brow, quite impressed with Error before going to punch the glitch again, who was quick to dodge.

Jumping to the side when Silver attempted a left hook and then jumping back when Silver attempted the sweep kick, somehow knowing that Silver would punch him if he jumped up, was it his instincts talking or was it his reflexes? Either way, it's making him last long in Silver's dodging training. Eventually though, Silver suddenly stopped. "Not bad." Silver then pulled out two wooden sticks. "Looks like you made it to the second point of the test, that's a first in a long while." Silver spoke.

"Wooden sticks are an alternative as he wouldn't want to harm you." Peril commented and Error stared a bit. Just... Wooden sticks? He wants to go a bit more extreme. "Why not use an actual blade?" Silver was quite surprised at the suggestion, same with Peril. "For real?" "Are you sure you want to?" Silver deadpanned as he then puts the sticks away and then summoning two blades colored red. "Yes." Error nodded as Silver then twirled one in one hand. "If you say so." Silver then threw the knife into the air before suddenly attacking, making a slice from below to the above. An attack that Error quickly dodged from.

Silver continued to attack Error with his blades, which Error seems to keep dodging with ease. Ducking from a swipe at his head then jumping back at the diagonal swipe, then ducking before jumping when Silver cross swiped at Error before attempting another sweep kick. Error was quite confused on how he's dodging everything perfectly, but it's not like he can know why. He hasn't regained his memories yet, or would even be able to... Which was sad in all honesty. He wants to remember his old life.

Error then blinked a bit before he quickly did a backflip to dodge Silver's attack where he spun, then stepping to the side when Silver suddenly threw the dagger, hitting the wall behind Error. "You surprise me." Silver raised a brow. "You're not bad, rookie." Silver spoke before suddenly swiping up with his other dagger. To which Error yelped and quickly stepped to the side. "Good job on making this far." Silver then got up and then grabbed the knife from the wall.
