Gladio may have had a bit of a later night than he was used to, but that didn't mean he wasn't just as ready to go for class as usual. Last week's difficulty with the danger shop, however, did convince him to keep it to the gym today, though, which meant a relatively simple lesson that the students could still have fun with, and it involved setting up a net and tossing a ball that, if recognized, would give up the game before he got a chance to explain.

"Volleyball," he announced. "Pretty fun game that's easily adapted to just four people, and that's what we're going to be learning about today. It's basically a game where the goal is to try and keep the ball off the ground when it's on your side of the net, and to prevent the players on the other side of the net from keeping it in the air when its on theirs, usually through a variety of different hits and moves, which we'll go over. And the preferred method of this game is usually played out on a beach in the soft sand, so doing anything necessary, like dives or lunges, to keep the ball from hitting the ground are part of what make the game exciting. We're not using soft sand, though, so we've got some knee and elbow pads to help with that. Because, obviously, I'm going to encourage you guys to go all out. But before we do that, we should probably go over how the game is played to begin with..."

Beaches, if you got 'em!

Alara Kit

After a quick warm-up stretching session, Gladio's got some rules on how to play the game and some tips to help out with the moves, with maybe a little bit of an emphasis on how to not overdo your serves and hits.

"Including me," said Gladio, "there's four of us, so we'll do two to a team, but we'll switch it up each time to really keep it even and have some variety, so get ready. And to keep things going quickly, we'll play to only five points between switching it up."

And, from there, let the RNG decide!

First match is Vi and Beta vs Alara and Gladio, with the RNG giving it to Vi and Beta!
Second match is Vi and Alara vs Beta and Gladio, with the RNG giving it to Vi and Alara!
And finally, Alara and Beta vs Vi and Gladio, with the RNG giving it to Vi and Gladio!

So we all know who the real MVP is here!
