Sage: Hah!

Waaah! I feel like I've turned into Akira-kun! ♪

Bianchi: Fufu, but in the end it's all an illusion. What you want to see.

Sage: Still, I was right about your ability: it's incredible how you can manipulate scents to induce hallucinations.

Bianchi: You'll be more cautious once you realize what's going o.
But there's a plus to that. Wariness can strip you of your ability to reason.

Sage: I totally get it. I'm still unsure whether what I'm seeing is real or not.
Reminds me of our LOM's, everyone was struggling as well.

Bianchi: Oh, that? That's also how I make use of my ability to help.

Sage: I see...
Your ability is what makes you and Jude-kun such a strong comboー

Jude: Haha,you're spot on, Sage.

Sage: Jude-kun!? How long have you been here!?

Jude: I'm also here for Bianchi's lesson. I'm auditing, or whatever it's called.

Bianchi: Intruders are an inconvenience for the class. Go stand in the hallway.

Jude: Okay, I'll eagerly stand in the hallway.

Bianchi: Goodness...

Sage: Ahahah...

Jude: Listen up. People often tell you to keep a steady stance to reduce recoil, but that's a bunch of baloney.
A stance is meant to improve your accuracy. So long as you hit the target, you can make all the dumb poses you want for all I care.

Sage: Noted! Jude-kun, where do you normally aim?

Jude: A vital spot, obviously. Either the heart or the head.
I have the gun at the ready, and... I shoot when I believe the timing is right.

Sage: Woah! A gunshot directly to the heart!

Jude: Imagine all of your opponents to be me. If you fail to hit their vital spot, you won't be able to stop them from moving, let alone deal a fatal blow.

Sage: Hehe, you're such a tough guy, Jude-kun.

Jude: Give it a try.

Sage: O- Okay... I haven't held a gun in a long time.
During our training, Instructor Lily taught me a lot of things, but I'm not cut out for this.

Jude: I'm the same. I don't really like guns.

Sage: Huh? But you're so good?

Jude: Hmpf, what's so exciting about attacking from a safe location?

Sage: That explains why you use your hammer.

Jude: I'm not really picky, though. I'll just use the most lethal weapon on hand at the time, and if there isn't one, I'll use my bare hands.

Sage: Ahahah... that's good to know.
