Tranquil as a Forest, But on Fire! ...Just on fire.
WHO: Chrom, his new band of 'Shepherds', OPEN
WHAT: Now that there's a new team working together for the sake of the greater good, their first task is tobeat the shit out of each other gather and spar, to better learn the skills, strengths, and weaknesses of their future allies on the battlefield. There may be shenanigans, there may not. But there will definitely be friendships of at least C-Rank by the end of this session.
WHEN: October 18th, 8 a.m.
WHERE: Training Hall
NOTES: Feel free to tag as many (or as few) sparring partners as you like. Chrom will be watching to take note of which people work best together for future reference. If you want him to come by and give feedback after a session, feel free to say so at the end of the spar!
The largest room of the training center had been specially reserved for Chrom and his assembled team. Kulevi was hovering just outside the front doors to direct Heroes to the proper location, advising them to stop by the armory if they needed to pick up any equipment for the training session. There weren't any refreshments, not yet, but Kulevi hinted that there might be sandwiches and punch once they concluded their sparring with one another.
Once everyone had arrived, Chrom greeted them with a smile. "I'm glad so many of you were able to attend. Given the warning we received a few days ago, I plan to have us conclude well before the appointed time if you wish to act upon that anonymous tip. In the meantime, let us begin." He produced a small tin can that rattled in his hand. "Inside are pairs of marbles with matching colors. Draw a marble, and find the person whose marble matches yours. This will be your first sparring partner. After ten minutes, the bell will ring and you will switch to someone new. Please take some time to introduce yourselves, and decide if you wish to spar with real weapons and spells, or if you would rather make use of the blunted and wooden practice weapons.
"We'll take a fifteen-minute break after three rounds. It is my hope that, by the end of our training regimen, we will all have a better understanding and appreciation of one another." He walked down the line, holding out the can to allow each person to draw a marble. When everyone had drawn, Chrom himself took the last one. He was not exempt from this exercise either.

[He chuckles.]
It might be particularly effective on the undead, but I assure you, it can be just as destructive to the living, as well as to household furniture. Perhaps I should let you see what happens if you use it on the training dummy.
[He moves to the side, removing one of the dummies crafted out of feathers and burlap, propping it up a decent distance away from the others. Then he gives it a wide berth.]
See what happens when you strike it with your spirit firearm.
[He really should learn the proper term for it, even if he doesn't have one himself.]

I mean, it works pretty good on the undead, but on other stuff?
[He's got nothing to lose, so he powers up and fires it at the dummy. It doesn't take long for the flimsy doll to explode in a shower of smoldering feathers.
After a moment, Sparks nods, satisfied at least somewhat.]
Not bad. I mean, it's not the toughest target around, but I guess this is good.
no subject
[It's a good thing he gets his training dummies wholesale, this place goes through them pretty quick. ...Especially for the classes that teach black magic.]
Do you intend to keep it in the future, or is it something you've reserved for this month alone?
no subject
After that, it's back to Paladin or Magitek Knight or... anything else, really.
no subject
[It has its uses.]
You'll get there. Are you handy with a sword at all?
no subject
[It took a long time for Sparks to warm up to Crystallis and its primitive ways. No lasers at all! Using actual bullets! It was like getting knocked back into the dark ages.]
no subject
[The way his face lights up makes him seem like his actual age for a change, rather than the mature and responsible adult he strives to be 24/7.]
There is a certain advanced job that allows you to wield swords made of sheer energy. The blade itself is able to cut through metal with ease.
