kozvmeーOn the day of the mission.
Sage: Woah, it's been ages since I last came here! ♪
Back then, the weather was just like this, perfect for camping. Right, Marion-kun?
Marion: Keep it cool. We're here on a mission, you know.
Sage: Haha, sorry about that! I just got a bit nostalgic there ♪
Marion: I don't feel nostalgic at all.
Sage: I guess it's because you came here with the 13th gen?
Haha, I can imagine Akira-kun having a super fun time while training!
Marion: It's better when he keeps it down.
Sage: Akira-kun is so vibrant and fun ♪
Marion: Alright, the mission is set for tomorrow morning. The sun will start to set soon, so take it easy and rest up today.
Sage: Okay.
Ah, how about we check out the sunset by the lake together? The view from here is really beautifulー
Marion: We're not here to play around. Don't make me repeat myself.
Sage: Sorry, sorry. I suppose that's a no-go?
Marion: Hmph.
Sage: (I figured I'd try my luck one more time, but it seems like that's not going to work out...)
※ From here on, it's all in the past.
Robin: Hello everyone, I'm Robbin Goodweather, team B's leader.
We see each other all the time during LOMs, so I know we're not strangers, but I just wanted to say nice to meet you again.
Sage: ......
Robin: Alright, our main focus for training is going to be on defense.
We formed team B to bring together those recognized for their strong defensive skills, who play an important part when it comes to defense.
Sage: Hehe.
Marion: ......
Robin: Okay, why don't we start by pairing up? We'll alternate between offense and defense for some hands-on training.
Sage: Yes!
(Alright, it's my chance to talk to Marion-kun. I'm going to give it my all and ask him to be my partner!)
Uhm, Marion-kun...
Marion: ......
Sage: Would you like to pair up with me?
Marion: ... Why would I pair up with someone like you?
Sage: I guess I'm not good enough, huh...?
Marion: A pair is all about people who are well-matched. You're not even in the conversation here.
Sage: So, what about me?
Marion: ... No thanks. To begin with, the problem isn't even about teaming up.
Sage: ... What do you mean?
Marion: Why am I in this group? I can defend myself, but it's not my specialty.
Sage: Oh, you're right. I mean, you could probably fit in with any team and do just fine.
Marion: That's why I don't like this.
Sage: I see...
Still, even though Teacher looks like that, they call him a defense specialist.
He teaches me as well, and I really think his skills are top-notch. So, perhaps if you give it a shot, you could gain some insights?
Marion: I have nothing to learn from someone who's just mediocre.
Sage: ......
Robin: Haha, looks like someone made a pretty bold claim.
Sage: Teacher...
Robin: Don't worry. I never thought I had anything to offer you either.
That said, you probably don't want to just sit around doing nothing, do you? So, could you help out with the training?
Marion: Help out?
Robin: You won't find better training than this with you on board.
Marion: ... Well, I suppose I can do that.
But just so you know, I won't go easy. I don't dumb things down for anyone.
Robin: Sure, that's fine. Understanding your abilities through defeat is part of the game.
So, Sage, let Marion-kun lend you a hand.
Sage: Understood. Thank you, Teacher.
I'll be in your care, Marion-kun.
Sage: ...!
Marion: Wh...
My attack got blocked...? I was able to break through in the last LOM though...
Sage: Haha, I did it...
I actually managed to block it once... ♪ I guess it's because of the special training with Teacher...
Marion: Kh...
Are you kidding me?! Why the hell is this happening to me... to me of all people!
Sage: Marion-kun...?
Marion: Huff, huff... I feel sick, I'm going back...!
Sage: Wait! Are you okay...?
Marion: Leave me alone... Just let me take a break, and I'll be fine...!
Sage: Really...?
Oh, if you think you could use a little pick-me-up, I suggest the lakeside! I've heard the sunset by the lake is really beautiful, so if you're up for it, let's go together tomorrowー
Marion: Can't you be quiet...!!
Sage: Ah... Marion-kun...!
Robin: Looks like he's gone.
Sage: ...Yeah. I might have said something that ticked him off.
Robin: You don't need to worry, it's all okay.
In fact, I might have been the one to complicate things.
Sage: How could that be...
Robin: Well, it's still the first day. Let's take it easy and go with the flow.
Sage: Yes...!

Sage: Uhh... I definitely feel like I don't measure up...
But, aren't there only a handful of people who can actually match you, Marion-kun...?
Sage: So, what about me?
