Heroic Tales, Wednesday, Period Two
Thor's students would have recieved an email sometime last week telling them to read The Trio of Soldiers which is the player's awful meta version of The Three Musketeers in preparation for today, and also that they would be meeting in the salle. Hopefully anyone who had signed up for Thor's class thinking they were getting a typical literature discussion course was not too disappointed at how this semester was panning out.
Once everyone was assembled, Thor began to speak. "If you read the assigned tale, I'm sure you can hazard a guess as to why you are here. If you have not- well, that is unfortunate, as you missed a truly exciting tale of intrigue and adventure! But you are still welcome to participate in today's lesson.
The idea of dueling was instrumental in setting off the events of the novel, and so today that is what I will have you practice doing. Although I do not encourage you to take this knowledge and use it to challenge your other schoolmates, as that is not considered common practice here," he warned. He picked up an épée and began to demonstrate the blade and footwork involved in fencing. It wasn't his preferred method of close combat, sure, but he was reasonably good with a sword, as it happened. "Please equip yourself with the necessary protective equipment before trying this yourself," he added. "Begin with practicing the movements on your own, and once you feel confident, you may practice hitting an actual target," Thor gestured to an array of practice dummies. "And of course, should you desire an actual opponent, you may challenge a classmate, though again I stress the importance of the protective equipment."
