—New Athens, Thea's Mansion, in the gym—
Thea faced off her new best friend, Lydia. It's been a few days since Astrid and Kim left, leaving them to train alone.
Their past trainings and Astrid's special talk with Lydia made them closer. They fought well against each other and even began having fun with each session.
However, Lydia wasn't happy when her friends and teachers left her behind. She even slacked off with her training, so Thea dragged to girl into her family's gym and forced her to spar.
After getting beaten a few times and with Thea's constant teasing, she quickly regained her motivation. She then used the newfound resolve to beat Thea into the metal ground.
They hadn't left the gym for nearly two days. Their matches lasted longer, and they even chatted a few times, although Lydia was really introverted.
The maids brought them food, and Marko, Thea's brother, came to observe them a few times.
