Chapter 101.3 - Dakota Hellen

As Dakota watched Astron prepare for the examination, she felt a mix of curiosity and anticipation.

His confidence intrigued her, and she was eager to see how he would handle the diverse array of weapons she had selected.

When she handed him the longsword, Dakota watched closely. The way he adjusted his grip and stance, recalling the basics of Federal Swordplay, demonstrated his adaptability. As he began his strikes, she could see the fluidity in his movements, but there were also moments of hesitation.

'He's trying to find his footing with the sword,' Dakota thought, her keen eyes catching every detail. 'The basics are there, but he needs to refine his technique.'

As Astron engaged the training dummy, she saw the potential in his strikes. The Federal Swordplay's efficiency was evident, but his footwork needed improvement.
