[quote=Kurisa] Kazuya held his book close to his chest as he continued to look down at the floor, he heard the Captain go into his office and grab some papers then he exited his office then spoke something Kazuya really didn't want to hear, it made his eyes widen. He didn't want to spar anyone, especially not this girl! he could barely look at her! how was he supposed to fight someone he could hardly look at? Kazuya looked up to see the Captain motion for them to follow and he did so until they were in the training grounds and when the Captain asked if they had any Questions Kazuya had to blurt out something despite being incredibly nervous "U-Umm C-Captain could w-we not...umm...y-you know...b-be tested another way?...I-I'm just n-not all that c-comfortable about s-sparring" Kazuya then bowed after he said this, he didn't want to anger the Captain and he felt like he had already blown his chance in the Squad by even asking the Question but if they were going to be sparring a lot then...maybe it just wasn't for him...maybe he would only fit in a Squad like Squad 4...like everyone said...they all said in the Academy that he'd end up doing the most cowardly job...he wanted to prove them wrong but not like this...he would do his best to fight the enemy but people he'd likely see day in and day out? it'd be humiliating for him... [/quote] Ryan (future) Ryan raised an eyebrow as Kazuya said that he wouldn't be comfortable sparring. [i]Not often that someone's completely against the idea of sparring...[/i] He glanced to Canaan who had seemed to have already accepted the idea, figuring he'd be the one sparring against her if Kazuya really wouldn't do it. (btw, Ryan isn't thinking the names, I'm just using them to be specific) He then nodded before handing him the papers to join. "I'll be testing you out in a different way then, keep these while I take your place in the sparring, then." He looked to Canaan, "Unless you'd also prefer a different testing method?"
