Training is difficult. Always has been, always will be.

You never enjoyed spending your rookie days whacking dummies with a wooden blade. And that’s not even to mention sparring with the other knights from your roster; you’ve always hated that, too.

Argenti doesn’t seem to mind how stressful it can be to spar with the other knights, though.

In fact, he copes very well with risking his dignity with every loss he suffers. He is a warrior at heart — a valiant fighter for the world that you share — and yet, for some reason, he just becomes incapable of holding a spear when you ask him to spar.

But you’ve got him where you want him now; spear pointed at you in one hand, and a particularly stern expression upon his face. He doesn’t look too happy with you; primarily because you’ve lost to him once again, and secondarily because he dislikes the ego boost he’s receiving from your losses.
