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.

• You keep listening.

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!

• You end the conversation.

Follow Instructor Julman’s instructions and finish the sparring session.

Do you want to spar?

Did you bring the access card given to students?

You can’t enter the Training Area without one.

• You hand over the Training Access Card.

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 do I have to do during sparring?’

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’s not what I meant…’

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.

• ‘What do I have to do during sparring?’

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.’

• You end the conversation.

Not bad.

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

What’s your name?

• You give your name.

Daeva? Daeva.

Good. I’ll remember it.

I have very high expectations of these students.

• You end the conversation.

Are you wandering around again, Daeva?

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.

• You slowly lose consciousness and feel like you’re floating.

• You slowly lose consciousness and feel like you’re floating.

Oh, Daeva!

Fighting against moving targets seems to suit you even better!

Students usually do better against training dummies.

• You report on how the training went.

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!

After the basic training, the sparring also had to be completed.

Since Kumanka, a Balaur guest of honour, was present for the sparring session, Instructor Julman said that, with a lot of luck, you could be accepted onto the list of chosen ones going to ‘eternal paradise’ if you impress him at sparring.

Setan and Lindiana regarded this as a great opportunity, and wanted to catch Kumanka’s attention in the hope of getting onto the list.

Kumanka asked for your name when you kept winning at sparring.

You returned to Instructor Julman, who told you that Kumanka was keen for you to be added to the list of chosen ones.
