"Though we've interacted with humans for a long time, I still can’t understand the depth of your abilities."

They arrived at a spacious training ground surrounded by thick trees. The only sound was the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind.
Meisen positioned himself at the center of the space, while Leon stood at a slight distance.
