Territory of Duke Davies White. The Church of Charity, in one of the training rooms.

The air was charged with tension. Emma, a young woman with piercing blue eyes, held her rapier firmly, a fine and elegant weapon with a blade glinting with a metallic sheen. Facing her was Gerda, an imposing paladin in armor, wielding a spear.

Emma stepped forward, her movements fluid and graceful. She knew her mastery of the sword surpassed her opponent's. Gerda, however, stood ready, her spear pointed at Emma, a confident smile on her lips.

"Don't forget you are not allowed to use your other affinity, Emma," she said, watching as Emma rushed at her with blinding speed. Her rapier cut through the air, aiming for Gerda's flank. But before the blade could reach its target, Gerda used her spatial affinity to teleport slightly to the side, dodging the attack with disconcerting ease.
