Villainous Instructor at the Academy

Julien flexed his fingers, shaking out the sting from his failed punch. "Okay, what kind of messed-up trick is this?"

I leaned against the fence, sipping my coffee. "Trick? None at all. You just suck."

Mira crossed her arms. "You reinforced them, didn't you?"

I gave her a slow, approving nod. "At least one of you is paying attention."

Leo groaned. "Great. So, what now? Are we supposed to break our hands trying to punch through enchanted training dummies?"

"Sounds like a you problem," I said.

Garrick rolled his shoulders, cracking his neck. "Then what's the point? If they're reinforced, then this isn't about strength, is it?"

I grinned, "I Don't anything about that."

Julien narrowed his eyes. "Oh, come on. You definitely know something."

I crossed my arms. "Maybe. Maybe not."

Mira sighed. "You're messing with us."
