"Welcome to combat training, students. Our activities today will help you in survival training, where you will either move up a rank, stay in your rank, or move down a rank. You will fight one other student from your rank, then get an analysis of your performance. After that, you will be put into a group with two other students from each other rank different from yours and fight other groups of three. Each member from the winning group will be able to choose from a pool of weapons to keep, and be later recognized for their amazing teamwork and skill. All of your classes and activities you attend here at Rosewood have a purpose; to defend Mystia from the Night Monarch. Don't forget what you are here for." 

Distracted by the announcement, Desdemona focused more on seeing who her opponent was rather than Nuna and Daichi’s confrontation. Reading the name next to hers on the screen, “[i]Nodah Listig[/i]”, Desdemona began to conserve her magical energy for the match. She didn’t feel like she would lose, but underestimating an enemy wouldn’t be wise, especially if they’re also rank A. “[i]I have to win.[/i]” Desdemona thought as she contemplated what would happen if she lost the battle. She knew worrying about an uncertain result wouldn’t benefit her chances of winning. 

Taking precautions, Desdemona pulls the notebook from her nightstand out of her jacket pocket. Opening to a blank page, she begins to draw a conjuring sigil which is a difficult task when given little room. Ripping the page out once finished, the emblem emitted spores of energy, “Seal.” Desdemona whispers causing the spores to be absorbed into the paper. Folding the sheet, placing both it and the notebook into an inner pocket, Desdemona waits for the duel to start.
