Professor Allen pushed open the doors to the training grounds. Lined up against the walls were rows and rows of weapons, bows, swords, spears, guns, anything you could think of, it was there.

"N-now, now... Kids, choose a weapon you like and spread out! You'll have all week t-to figure out a god weapon for you, so just get the hang of things for now!"

Artemis made a beeline for the spears.

Lunara looks around all the weapons, inspecting both guns and swords. They were curious if one could use both, kind of intrigued... they just roam around, as a small random tremor made two swords fall over and act like guillotines. But, Lunara was right between them, so they were spared and not cut down into three slices. And all they do... is laugh it off.

You know the first rule in combat? shoot them before they shoot you.

Kylian glanced at all of the weapons, deciding. Guns were a fun option. Ranged, small, easy to handle. A good choice. He grabbed one, just selected one at random. He'd figure which one was fit for him later, for now he just wanted a weapon. Not very smart, but eh.

Callisto hefted a case of darts over her shoulder, even grabbing a blow gun to match. But then, she spotted something even more... interesting. A large sniper rifle lay abandoned in the corner. She had never used a piece of equipment remotely similar to the behemoth in her life. But still, something called out to her. She was itching to try it.

Dragging her haul over to a corner (back to wall meant no one was sneaking up on her), Callisto opened the casings. A brief heft of the darts and Callisto knew they would work fine if the sniper option failed. The familiar weight was comfortable between her fingers. They could immobilize and even do more if she needed them to.

Unpacking the sniper was difficult. The weapon was unwieldy in her small fingers. Her nimble hands were used to the lightning fast throw of a dart, not hoisting a rifle over one shoulder. She stood hesitantly, bringing her eye to the scope. Infra-red vision revealed all her classmates wandering through the rows of weapons. Her mental skill reaffirmed their positions, matching their streams of consciousness to the infra-red blobs. It wasn't altogether uncomfortable, and Callisto was fairly certain she would at least hit the target. The outer rings maybe, but the target nonetheless.

It was never meant to be.

"Those aren't weapons you see very often."

Artemis was behind her, his voice quiet and soft. His spear was gripped loosely in his right hand, and he watched her.

"Not really," She said simply. "The first sixteen years of my life are not something that you see very often."

Callisto had to admit, Artemis had balls. Or at least enough power and mana to be completely indifferent to the fact that he was staring down the barrel of a sniper rifle. She lowered the weapon, leaning it against her side. She bent down, and picked up the dart again.

"These are mostly my speed, darts, throwing knives, etc. For some reason, I've decided to... expand my skillset." Callisto gestured vaguely in the direction of the rifle. Her eyes landed on Artemis's spear. "Interesting choice yourself. Ranged weapons will evidently be an advantage in this classroom." She gazed pointedly at their classmates, many of whom were mucking about among the swords.

"Swords are overrated. Spears are far superior."

Artemis was a man of few words, clearly.

Callisto nodded, agreeing even though she didn't have too much knowledge on the subject. It made sense in theory, spear beating sword every time, but their professor was supposedly a swordmaster. If swordmasters existed, there had to be some advantage to the weapon.

She surveyed the room again before glancing up at Artemis. Ogd, she really was short. "So what now? Do we wait for them to get their sh!t together and pick a weapon?"

The sarcasm dripped from her voice. She was much less approachable than she had been a few minutes earlier.

"Exactly."

He had tucked away his handkerchief, the one he hadn't put down at all since he arrived.

"One would guess you could read the future, with that kind of prediciton."

"Please," she scoffed. "If you really want the future, then you should definitely not agree to demonstrate your sword skills when the professor asks you to. It won't end well for anyone." Callisto still gazed out at their classmates, hardly moving.

"Stick to spears," She added as an after thought.

Lunara just watched the two talk, smiling a bit while putting the swords that fell down back into their holsters. Going on about that thought of theirs, they grab a simple revolver and sword, trying how it would feel like to wield both of them at the same time. It was... a little difficult but one could manage. Would it be worth it...?

"Good. Just be prepared with an excuse, because 'Old Gil' will ask you to..."

Callisto could feel Lunara's eyes on the two of the them. They had grabbed a sword, which was normally a red flag, but the revolver in their other hand was an interesting remedy. Callisto turned and watched them.

"oof, my grandpappy would never let me hear the end of it if I switched to swords."

Artemis brushed a lock of his blue hair out of his eyes.

"What's wrong with swords though?" Lunara asked, finally chiming into the conversation and holding both weapons in either hand. Sure, they weren't a swordsman themselves but she had no quarrel with them. "Why are they so weak?"

"First, it's a matter of range. Spearmen are more likely to stay out of danger due to their longer range, while swordsmen have to get up close. Second, swords aren't efficient. You cannot attack and defend with a sword at the same time. With spears, you can. It's all about the principle of things."

"... the weapon does not make the person threatening. It is how they use the weapon that makes it dangerous." Lunara said, remembering a proverb from one of their former mentors. "You can denounce swords all you like but one day you will find someone who can wield them so well that you're outmatched."

"Meh." Callisto sighed. "It's not as big a problem for me. Ranged weapons are nice and stealthy. With a little bit of luck, I'll be gone before they even know it, and will never even be in range of a swordsman. I like your gun choice, by the way. Makes up for the fatal range flaw of the sword, of course. Perhaps one of the only combinations to make it... salvagable."

Callisto smiled. She really didn't have too much of a clue of what she was even saying at this point. Give her some throwing knives and a target on the other side of the bar any day, and she'd win the pot. Simple as that. Beyond that, her weapons knowledge was mostly just conjuncture that had expanded rapidly within the last ten minutes.

It was never meant to be.

Elehah was the last to follow the group out, as well as the last to finish choosing his weapon. The looked through the huge group of weapons. He was really picky when he chooses his weapons.

He strength was agility, not strenuous power. He needed speed, not strength, the lighter and sharper the sword the better.

He rummage through the thick pile of weapons and found a pitch black scabbard, he could sense a light snow white spiritual aura, but he could tell that it was extremely powerful, if anything, much better than those gaudy, flimsy, heavy swords. He unsheathed a small part of the sword, it had a thin blade, and it shined in the light as if it was ice.

It was also light in his hands too.

Now all he needed was some acupuncture needles. Elehah searched to another pile, perhaps it was because he was taking a long time, it wasn't long before he found some decent quality ones that were acceptable to him. Elehah put the scabbard on his waist and the needles under his sleeves, hidden away.

Then he finally stepped to the group, now armed and ready.

"Outmatched? My grandfather is the greatest spearman ever to live. I shall never be outmatched, not here, not ever."

Artemis' cold exterior broke for a moment, his crimson eyes flaring up.
