The afternoon sun hung high, casting sharp shadows across the cleared field.
The giant robot from the morning stood parked nearby. Its flatbed was empty except for a small, locked case that Professor Catherine carried with a faint grin.
"After a proper discussion, the university's Grand Council decided to train in a unique combat style. The ones that suits you"

She untied the red cord first, revealing tiny seeds flecked with crimson.
"These are Dreadbloom seeds. Their flowers release a gas that triggers intense fear. It makes even the toughest fighters freeze or run screaming."
She moved to the blue pouch, spilling out seeds with a faint shimmer.
