*tap* *tap* Brandon and Eira were hurriedly rushing through the Academy halls.
Eira, her blonde braid swinging with each stride, shot Brandon a sidelong glare, her lips twitching in frustration "Idiot, idiot, because of you... we are late for the team combat examinations."
Brandon smiled dryly as they quickly jogged "Don't worry, we can catch up."
Eira's eyes narrowed, her pace quickening as she weaved around a group of second-years "Don't you have some other time to... do things with Sister Ravene?"
"if we docked points because of this, I am gonna kick you."
She shot him a final look, before they reached the training hall entrance and quickly entered the room.
Holographic projectors embedded in the ground pulsed faintly with their lenses ready to sculpt entire battlefields, while large mechanical emitters lined the walls, humming with the potential to generate physical constructs that mimicked real-world opponents.
