Give me the pills

After receiving their skill books from the academy, it was time for all of them to engage in a bit of self-learning. It was free time for the students to do as they wished, but in theory, it was meant to be used for learning the new skill books they had obtained.

There was a private courtyard at the back of the living area for the Blue headbands. It was larger than the others because the Blue headbands usually had a larger group of people.

The courtyard was filled with various things: basic swords lined up on racks, dummies made of cloth and sand scattered around the area, and even large totems with poles sticking out of them.

The idea was to strike one part while blocking another. The harder you hit one part of the totem, the faster it would spin around, increasing the chance of getting hit. All of this was for the students to use.

Right now, all of them were practicing, except for Simyon, who sat cross-legged, staring at the book on the floor.
