You're not exhausted already, are you?

You've only finished basic training at this point!

What's important is sparring!

Training dummies will stand still as you hit them, but real life doesn't work that way!

Your opponent will dodge or block or even counterattack.

Player: (Keep listening.)

What do you need to prepare for such situations? Training. Of course it's training!

Lord Kumanka, the noble Balaur guest, is here with us at the Sparring Grounds right now!

If you are lucky enough to catch his eye, you may be able to join the ranks and go to the Paradise of Eternity!

So train hard if you want to impress him!

Player: (End dialog.)

Are you here to spar?

You have the pass given to all the mansion's trainees, right?

Without it, you can't enter the Sparring Grounds.

Player: "Here."

Oh... I'm not ready for sparring, to be honest.

It just feels kinda... You know.

One of the trainees was rolling on the floor last time from being hit wrong and it looked painful.

Not that I want to be in that position, but...

It's a great opportunity to impress Lord Kumanka.

Player: "What do we need to do for sparring?"

What do you mean?

You just spar, duh.

You're pretty good at it too. If you do well, you might be able to join the Esteemed Ranks.

You could go to the Paradise of Eternity!

Hmph... You're so lucky. I'm jealous, jealous!!!

Player: "That's not what I..."

Lord Kumanka is here in the flesh!

It's my first time actually seeing a Balaur in person. Wow...

They do indeed look more imposing and powerful than Daevas.

This it's a special opportunity, I want to impress Lord Kumanka and join the ranks no matter what.

Player: "How should I spar?"

Just ask a Practicing Trainee you think you'll be able to win to spar.

Of course, that doesn't include me.

Although I won't stop you from sparring me if you insist...

Because I won't go easy. I'm gonna go hard.

Going to the Paradise of Eternity is my longtime dream!

Player: (End dialog.)

Not bad.

Seeing you spar, you have potential for combat.

You. What is your name?

Player: (Tell him your name.)

Player...

Alright. I shall remember it.

I have high hopes for this batch of trainees.

Player: (End dialog.)

Did you get lost again, Player?

It's okay. We can try again.

Close your eyes and take deep breaths.

Inhale, exhale. Inhale... Exhale...

Now.

Player: You start disassociating and feel airy.

Player: You start disassociating and feel airy.

Yes, yes. I was watching.

Two wins is great progress.

Lord Kumanka mentioned you too.

He said to add your name to the Esteemed Ranks finalists.

Congratulations on joining!
