Kojiro began to thump his nails on the desk as he murmured something to himself while looking over at Brian and heaving a sigh at the same time.
All the while, he was tapping his nails on the desk. "It seems fair to me. Brian stepped forward."
Brian gulped, turning his face to see Kojiro and then looking at Alister, saying, "Thank you, colonel."
While he was speaking, Brian moved forward while taking his time to breathe in and out, "Sir, apprentice Brian. Present."
Kojiro looked at Brian in silence while stating, "Brian, can you tell me what I told you before I sent you to test with Alister?"
Kojiro tapped the surface of the object with his fingertips in a methodical and light-hearted manner.
Brian looked down towards the ground while he was coughing heavily and said, "Don't use the spear."
