You’re not tired already?

But you’ve only just finished the basic training!

The sparring is the really important part!

A Training Dummy doesn’t move and is easy to hit, but it’s different with a real opponent!

They move, dodge, block and even make counter-attacks.
What do you have to do to prepare yourself for a situation like that? Training and more training!

Our esteemed guest of honour and Balaur Kumanka is in the Training Area!

If you catch his attention, you might be able to get onto the list of those destined for eternal paradise!

If you want to impress him, you’ll have to really concentrate on your training!
Do you want to spar?

Did you bring the access card given to students?

You can’t enter the Training Area without one.
Aah… I don’t have any self-confidence when it comes to sparring.

It always makes me feel uneasy.

The other day, one student was writhing around on the floor in agony after taking a bad hit.

That’s not to say I’d like to take the hit for him, but… even so…

Kumanka being here is a great opportunity.
What?

You just have to do it.

But sparring is your thing. If we do a good job of it this time, we might be included on the list of chosen ones.

Then we might get to enter ‘eternal paradise’!

Bah… I wish I could boast like that. How great would that be?! My goodness! I’m jealous!
That Kumanka came here personally…!

This is the first time I’ve seen a Balaur. Look at him…

He looks much more dignified and stronger than a Daeva.

I’d like to use this special opportunity to impress him and be accepted onto the list.
You’ve got to ask a Combat-Ready Students to spar with you. Pick someone it looks like you could beat.

Not me, of course.

Well. Of course I won’t stop you if you really want to spar with me.

That’s to say I won’t hold back. I’ll fight with everything I’ve got, and I’ll win.

‘I’ve been dreaming for so long about entering the eternal garden.’
Not bad.

You’ve shown in sparring that you have a fighting instinct.

What’s your name?
Player? Player.

Good. I’ll remember it.

I have very high expectations of these students.
Are you wandering around again, Player?

It’s all right. You can start over again.
First, close your eyes and take a deep breath.

One, two… two, two, three… one… two…

… three.

Yeah, yeah. I was watching.

Two wins are a good result.

Kumanka also mentioned your name.

He was very keen for me to add your name to the list.

Congratulations on being selected!
