62 Small Group Training

Professor Valerie led Karl and Dana out of the field and behind the gymnasium building, where she had a military sedan car parked, with a driver waiting for them.

"Climb on in, time is wasting, and I am under orders to have you back here before dark." She instructed as she settled herself into the front passenger seat.

It was obviously a sanctioned trip, as she had just been introduced as their instructor, but it seemed odd to both of them that they would be taken off school grounds on the first day by their new Professor for small group combat, or whatever she intended to teach them.

No words were spoken until they were out of sight of the Academy grounds, and then the Professor turned back to look at the students in the back seat.
