Jem glanced at Sara, before looking back. “This is unnecessary. There’s nothing to prove,” he says.

Magnus kicked Hunter’s legs out from under him.

“Come on Poseidon, you’re a good fighter.”
Hunter seems to not be focused on Sara anymore.

Hunter tripped and hit his head on the ground.

“We need a medic,” Magnus notes.

“Oh no, but this is an orienteering exercise. It helps me form better opinions of each and every one of you sweeties.”

You call that an orienteering exercise? Ferris’ face had that written all over him.

“And… somehow, this became a fight among students…”

Instructor Beatrice walks towards the students. Clearly irritated.

“I am…completely fine…Just a little…hurt.”
Hunter slowly got up in pain.

Hunter is not hurt, he is merely a little exhausted. Damage reduced his mana pool that protected him, in which it drained him a little energy.

Hunter gripped the wooden sword.

Beatrice walks towards the instructor and knocks her hard, on the head.
“Oww!”

“Do you realise why your orienteering exercises always ends up in flames?”
Beatrice is stronger than Sara, that’s for sure.
“Aha… Sorry…”

Beatrice walks slowly to the three.
“This orienteering exercise is over. Sara should be teaching you the capabilities of your modified weapons, but as usual, she goes all meat-headed.”

“No-No-No, can’t I fight more?”

“My modified what?
Faustus looks at his gladius. It’s still the same old semi-broken sword, with him noticing no visual changes have taken place.

“It didn’t get out of hand.”

A suspicion came into Magnus’s mind. “The simulator isn’t broken, is it?” He demanded.

Every weapon now has a circular gem embedded into it.

Now that you think about it, wasn’t Ferris’ bow firing arrows without actually having ammo?

Then he sees the gem. He taps on it twice, expecting something.

“If this is a simulation…”

It does seem to emit a faint glow… but you tapping it just makes the glow a tad bit brighter.

Hunter grabbed his steel sword back from James, and tapped the gem like crazy.

“Let me guess, they’re all magic now?”
