At the age of fifteen, Lucien does a sparring session with Donna in one of the courtyards of the mountain fortress. The sounds of wooden swords hitting each other echo together with the sounds of his heavy breathing.
Although Donna is holding back more than half of her strength and speed, Lucien still fails to gain any advantage over her, yet he continues to try his best.
"Come on, Luci! You can do better than that!!" She tries to encourage him while hitting him with the wooden sword. Only arduous training can help a person with not good talent.
"Ha! HA!!" Lucien tries many movements he learned from watching Amelia. Still, he ends on the floor. He is lucky that his body is a little better than that of a normal person because otherwise, he would already have all his bones broken.
Donna approaches Lucien and offers him a bottle of bright blue liquid. "You fought well; drink this."
