Test of Skills!
The commander returned to the camp as if a ghost, dragging his feet in utter incomprehension. Was this new recruit superhuman?! Then again, one should not question good things…
Jack smiled and gently waved at the returning commander. The way the man looked at him was way different. Before, he barely cared, but now his eyes shone with curiosity.
"I've verified. Private Jack'O, you've passed the Test of Character with flying colors! Are you ready for what comes next? We won't go easy on you!" He thundered.
"YES, SIR!"
The militia members instantly erupted in cheers. Not only was a Test of Skills entertaining, but it would give them a break from the dull training!
They arranged themselves into a large circle, creating a dueling space in the middle. Some were already chanting encouragements.
"Show us what you go, brother Jack'O!"
"Newbie, it's easy. Just beat your opponent!"
