The moment Vorden said he wanted to fight Erin, whispers spread across the students.
"The Ice Queen against the new guy?"
"If you think about it, they're both blonde. Maybe he wants to eliminate the competition."
"I'm really curious about his ability. Hopefully Leo won't ban them for today."
Ignoring the gossiping, the new student had taken his hand out for a handshake.
"Hey, my name is Vorden, what's yours?" He said.
Erin looked down at the hand, "Mine's Erin—"
Before she could physically touch him, Leo interrupted them for his lecture.
"Before we start sparring, I shall be showing you a basic martial art that all soldiers are required to learn. For this, I will need a volunteer," Leo began.
He sensed around the class, searching for a particular aura.
"Quinn Talen, how would you like to spar with me?"
Quinn looked back at the teacher, in the middle of equipping a pair of beast gauntlets. He nodded, and joined Leo at the front of the class.
