Battles

After the intense battle between Atticus and Aurora, it was the second years' turn to fight. There were more trainees in the second year than the first years, with their numbers reaching 30.

Their battles went by quickly, and Atticus found them rather boring. Just like the first years, most of the second years were still at the novice rank, so the fights weren't as interesting as he would have liked.

With novice rank individuals only able to learn one art, they each attacked with a single move, which could get repetitive as they yelled out names each time they launched an attack.

However, when it was time for Sophie to fight, Atticus snapped out of his daydreaming and decided to observe her battle. She was the 5th rank among the second years and was challenged by the 6th rank.
