Press might have given it a bit of thought about what Brookes was, but he had a lot on his mind, including the hope that his malfunctioning equipment did not hinder him in times of crisis and that the training was apparently about to begin. Besides, he had a strong belief that fairies and the fey didn't exist, so the thought that Brookes was one of them never crossed his mind. 

When the announcement that they were going to go to the training room, his eyes widened in hopeful expectations and a smirk of excitement showed up on his face. He was nervous, but he had some experience of fighting, from years of friendly brawls against friends from his neighborhood, the research on fighting that he looked up, and occasional times when people tried to bully him for money that came from his once-prosperous toy sales when he was a child.
