Kyrenia: attacks* Haaa!

Sapphire: *parries and knocks Kyrenia back*

Kyrenia: *regains her balance and strikes again*

Sapphire: *dodges and attacks with a flurry of slashes*

Kyrenia: *attempts to block but fails*

Glynda: interrupts* That's enough!

Reina: groans*

Glynda: Students, this is an example of insufficient combat experience. As you saw during the sparring practice, Mrs. Pelga lacked endurance and strength. *speaks to Kyrenia* Mrs. Pelga, please do strive to improve yourself. We wouldn't want you to be beaten by a Ursa, now would we?

Kyrenia: *frowns*

Glynda: That is all for today, students. *walks away*

Kyrenia: sighs*

Sapphire: *offers a hand to Kyrenia*

Kyrenia: grabs her had and was lifted up on her feet* Thank you.

Sapphire: *bows as if asking forgiveness*

Kyrenia: Ah! It is fine, darling.

Sapphire:*slightly lifts her head looks confused*

Kyrenia: I promise you, it is really fine.

Sapphire: *smiles*

Few hours later, in the mess hall.

Kyrenia: You want to do what!?

Reina: Like I said, you need help training. I know more than anyone else and we both know your combat grades in Sanctum were satisfactory at best.

Kyrenia: pouts*

Reina: We already agreed on this.

ASTR and DRK all nods in agreement.

Arizona: You're a pretty sight, Kyrenia. But if ya wanna be a huntress, ya gotta be more than that, sugarcube.

Kyrenia: But who is going to help me train then?

The group reacted in confusion.

Kyrenia: Wait! All of you agreed to help me but cannot decide who would?

Rita: Uuuhhh. *laughs nervously*

Daemon: Well, we'll decide tomorrow. Let's just refresh our heads first.

Arizona: Yeh! Let's all simmer down for now.

Trevor: Mhm!

The two teams enjoys lunch.

Kyrenia: stares at Sapphire*

Sapphire: *notices and hides her face in timidity*

Trevor: Hmm? Something on her face?

Kyrenia: Well....

Agate: Well what?

Kyrenia: Sapphire hardly, if not never, spoke a word ever since the entrance exam. Why?

Daemon: Oh! Right! We haven't tell you and Reina yet, have we?

Reina: Tell us what exactly?

Agate: Just try not to be shocked though. *speaks to Sapphire* Go on, show em.

Sapphire: *hesitantly removes her scarf and reveals a large scar across her entire neck*

Kyrenia: gasps and covers her mouth* Oh my!
