We got ready after finishing breakfast. The food gave us the energy we needed. We had warm bread and a cup of tea prepared by Yui.
"As both of you told me," William began, "Bob wants to specialize as a vanguard while Alan prefers the backline support role. Normally, we wait until someone's class is fully revealed before tailoring training. But since you two are… not following the usual rules, we'll just shape your path right away."
We stood in the middle of a vast plain field. The tree where we had eaten breakfast was now far behind us, a tiny dot in the landscape. The sun was bright, but not harsh. The breeze was cool. It was a perfect day for training, warm and calm.
Bob and I stood side by side. William faced us with his arms crossed, Maya and Evelyn flanking him. Yui stood a bit farther off, arms folded, watching silently.
"You guys are lucky to be tutored by William," Evelyn said with a small smirk. "He's the best there is at teaching newbies."
