After leaving the library, Liam headed straight to his room, retrieving his sword before making his way to one of the training grounds. Though he had no real difficulty wielding a sword, he was well aware that his proficiency and power with it paled in comparison to his mastery of dual daggers.

The training grounds were empty due to everyone being preoccupied with course selections, making it the perfect opportunity to train without distractions. Wasting no time, Liam engaged with the enchanted wooden dummies. No matter how many times he reduced them to splinters, they seamlessly reassembled, allowing him to go all out without restraint.
