As the training session began, Theo found himself eager to learn from Ely. He studied her every move, mimicking her stances and techniques. Each time he did something correctly, a notification would appear in his mind's eye: [Basic Sword-Manship Acquired]. The sensation was strange but oddly satisfying.
Ely noticed his quick learning and couldn't help but express her amazement. "Wow, Master, you're learning so fast," she said with a proud smile. "It's like you're a natural at this."
Theo grinned, feeling a rush of excitement. "Right?" He said, swinging his sword in a simple arc. "Let's see what I can do with this new skill."
Without warning, he lunged forward, aiming for a basic slash. Ely, however, was not one to be caught off guard. She gracefully sidestepped and brought her own blade up to block his strike. "Master, you already using skills on your first day?" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Your potential is truly boundless."
