"Listen up!" His voice cut through the chatter. "Today's lesson is simple. Teamwork."
Aegis leaned against the wall beside Scarlett, already dreading whatever came next.

Students groaned.
Scarlett grinned.
"Finally, some more real action."
"You telling me you don't enjoy abusing wooden dummies for hours on end?"
"Nah. Charming, to be sure, but nah." She smiled back.
Aegis crossed her arms.
