The day ends with fighting practice. You're assigned to this kid who you do not know the name of.

"I'm Y/N." You say, hoping he'll introduce himself. He doesn't seem to respond, or if he did, you didn't hear him.

The boy was slightly muscular, no where near Winona or Ballard's physique but he was definitely working out. He had a light skin color like melted toffee and little stubbles along his jaw. His hair was cleanly shaven off, a small part above his ear burnt as if fire had caressed his scalp. He crossed his arms in front of him and shifted on each foot.

There was a mix of reactions to the training. Some people around you were fighting like their lives depended on it and others were standing around awkwardly, unsure of what to do. You could see Winona fighting and talking to someone much smaller than herself, Ballard instructing a boy where to punch.

"So," you began, searching the area for the captain. "Should we start?"

The boy unhooked his arms and put them into fists at his sides. You took a swing at his chest but he blocked it, throwing his knuckles at the side of your neck. You managed to move just enough to avoid the impact of his fist.

You laughed. Both of you were quite a mess at fighting. The guy had muscle but not any experience.

"What?" He backed away. His voice was a little rough but firm.

"This is pretty bad."

He scratched the back of his head with embarrassment, "I know. I wasn't going to say anything, though."

The boy lets his rosy cheeks drain before he makes eye contact with you again.

He throws a terrible punch over your shoulder, "Act like we're fighting."

The captain is wading around the area, most specially watching Winona throw around a poor kid.

"Where are you from?" You asked in a low voice.

The boy doesn't look like he wants to talk that much, but he doesn't seem rude enough to ignore you. "Hiyamin."

"What branch are you going to join?"

"Scout Regimen. You?"
