"Marni..." She was one of the more difficult ones to handle. A strong and confident girl for sure with skill dripping from the blade of her ax, but impossible to get to class or discipline. "What is this scheme I hear of trying to take another teacher's shirt? You do not need me to tell you that this is not good..."

He crossed his arms. "How about we stop that and find something less...potentially troublesome to pass time with? Something that does not involve stealing people's clothes? How about you show me your ax technique?"

Uh oh, here comes the fun police to shut her down.

"What? No way," Marni says bluntly. "I was promised a whole mountain of praise if I pull this off. Besides, I can have you tell me how great I am with an axe any other day, but today is special! I'm not gonna have an opportunity like this again!"

This guy had been a major pain in her side ever since he showed his sorry face. What use did she have for all those stupid classes? She knows she's strong already and if she wants to get even stronger, experience has taught her that she'll need to do it on her own. Everyone else... is just a bunch of weaklings who would hold her back.

"Besides, me and His Kingliness go way back! I even knew him back when he was still just a prince, so don't butt in to a little joke between buddies. Or what, you're some kinda killjoy that hates friendship?"

She would not describe herself and Diamant as friends, like, ever, but this guy didn't need to know that.
