Well, I know she tries to be nice, but she's bad at it.

I, uh... I don't have any notes.

In Carim- those who wish to become Knights- or are by their family's stature- required to be a proper Knight... go to a school.

Where we learn the art of combat, the administration, as well as other artistic pursuits.

The written word- mannerisms- that sort of art.

Training would begin each morning with every child being made to run laps around the square until our lungs felt like they would collapse. And sometimes- my peers did collapse.

Then they'd get us to do our drills.

If we messed up- we were told to run the laps again.

The idea was to train us to be precise while fatigued, and keep the muscle memory alive- by punishing the smallest of flaws in technique by making us more exhausted.

Yes. If this were a Grail War, Caster would be an enemy and not a lover.

(is he invisibly smirking...?)

Well - knowledge. Like, we could work together.

Alright. Follow her. -points to Harriet- She'll help you.

... -stands up- F-follow me. -starts for upstairs-

She didn't seem bad at it. I think.

Okay!

...All the science materials are out there in the forest, though, and it's dark now.

Ah, much like the training of the modern military. Makes sense.

...That'd be nice.

Maybe she's gotten better at it and I haven't been paying attention.

-nods-

Later in the day they'd have us sparring.

We'd choose our training weapons.

You tended to choose either the shotel or the rapier- and then took a parrying dagger with it.

I... was a little different. I asked for two shotels.

And I proved to be one of the best in the class.

Though I still practiced with a single shotel- and I'm skilled at the rapier.

-he does indeed have those two Shotels, as well as a parrying dagger-

Hm... nothing wrong with being the odd one out. Sometimes straying from the crowd is the right action to take.

Sayaka: (Gen, sigh) I guess we're gonna need to sort all this out some time.

(Gert) ...Hey. She may not be able to, but if I see her again, I'll tell her to visit you more, OK?

Three Amigos Room

Homura: ...Yes. It would be nice to be able to be with the one you love, wouldn't it.

Must go now

I don't spend as much time with her as I used to.

-nods- Yes...

As I was saying though-

They would have us all sparring in the same room together.

In close proximity- to simulate battle.

We would start in pairs, then- when your partner was defeated- you'd move onto your next opponent. Even if they were still facing someone else. It was to keep us on our toes- our eyes out on the environment.

yeah, but not right now. Too much has happened recently, piling on more drama would just cause a disaster
