Her mouth went slack jaw as she watched.

The sword was about to strike Professor Alto through!

She could see Davil wasn't going to make it in time, and acted herself. Instantly, a black appendage reached out from under the shadow of her hand, snapping forward, reaching for the hilt of the sword. She was gonna save him!

But, just as she was about to grasp it, the sword bounced off an invisible force and clattered away, exposing a black appendage hovering over Professor Alto's head awkwardly.

"...Oh."[/b] She mumbled, and retracted the darkness.

[i][b]"I've prepared a course for the lot of you today. Some hands-on training, let's say, to test how well you can form a Personal Barrier and keep it active against attacks, and how much pressure yours can take before it breaks. Any questions or concerns, before we begin? How much practice does everyone have with forming a PB?"[/b][/i]

[i]Light essence.[/i]

That's all Ciara heard as Chunji and Iraleth spoke up. Light essence...

Light essence?!

That confirmed it. Ciara could feel a shudder ripple through her body. She would be facing her one weakness later that day, in the nexus of Wingram.

She clenched her teeth together. Perhaps this training would be useful. Maybe she could use it later. 

[b]"No questions, sir. I'm ready to start."[/b] She said, a sudden seriousness in her tone.
