"Those knights are going to spar with us personally?"
"This is an honor!"
At the training grounds, Linus left for a while.
When he returned, he brought back this news. The knight order planned to send five people to spar and exchange techniques with the five from the dojo, with the main purpose of helping everyone improve together.
