"Absolutely not!" Pandul exclaimed while he shoved his towel into a bag. "I'm not working with these guys. They have no experience!"
"We can train them..."
"With what Nia? Do you have a death wish?"
"Pandul is right Nia," Urya agreed with the vampire jumping down from a tree branch. "We only have three days to the competition. Going in there with these guys would only lead us to failure."
"I can hold my own you know," Melial stated getting a hiss from Pandul.
"Guys, we don't have any other choice," I reasoned with the team. "Plus, all we need to do is double up on our practice regimen and we're good to go."
"Great, how about we start right now," Pandul smiled taking a fighting stance in front of Daniel. "Get out your sword Vladian."
The Vladian looked at his friends who snickered with a nod as he dropped his bag onto the ground.
"For the record, this wasn't my idea," Daniel smiled unsheathing his sword from the sheath on his back.
