Ten students moved within their respective marked squares and stood before the masked figures who were to coach them on their selected weapons.
Selina was the first sword user to step within the square. She raised her sword and looked at the sword coach with battle-ready eyes.
The sword coach nodded and leisurely asked in a raspy tone, "Why have you picked up the sword?"
"So I can put it down again... more quickly this time," she replied without any change in her expression or tone.
The sword coach laughed out hoarsely as he pointed his sword at her and announced, "Let's see if you have the skills to back up your arrogance."
She shrugged and responded, "Try me."
The sword coach stepped forward, and their clash began.

Arden was the first bow user to step within the square. He took out an arrow from his quiver and held onto it as he stared at the bow coach, who stared at him with her hands at her chest while her bow rested on her shoulder.
