Never let Proctor Magomo find you idling around. Even if it was a free period.
As it happened, Kristen Pirian, along with a couple other initiates, got spotted by Proctor Magomo whilst having a small chat. Even the words "small" and "chat" were generous--they'd barely even said a few words to one another, had literally just started talking. Soon as they were, for what little it amounted to, Proctor Magomo had rounded a corner and spotted them. He marched right over. Said to them, "You, you, and you. Follow me."
And that was how all of them ended up in the woods just outside of the Academy with their weapons. Proctor Magomo marched them all out there, and then he explained tersely what they were to do. Namely, training Kristen. He announced it in that energetic, motivated way in which he always carried himself, and then he separated Kristen from the other initiates, said low to her, "Initiate Pirian, I expect you to have at least a black eye when I return."
Her eyes widened.
And, possibly only because it was the new way in which the Academy was run, he added, "It's not that I'm requiring you to have one. I just know you're going to end up with one. And that builds character. Which you sorely need, Initiate."
Two rough pats on her shoulder, and then Proctor Magomo went over to speak with the other two initiates. Privately, as he had done with Kristen. He said to them that they were alone out in the forest, that he was going to depart and leave them in charge of Initiate Pirian's combat training, and then implied essentially that whatever happened out in the forest, stayed out in the forest. Intimating that no one would know. Less subtle and in closing, he said that he wanted to see some results come sundown.
And with that, Proctor Magomo left them.
At least...well, at least it was a nice day out, right? Just a little after high noon, blue skies, calming bird songs in the trees about them, a light breeze. You really just wanted to lay down on your back and gaze up at the sky and take a nap.
But that probably wasn't going to happen. Ahhhh...their free period! Gone! Sure, the rest of the day was apparently to be spent out here too, but free periods were precious.
Kristen scratched at the back of her neck guiltily, head bowed sheepishly. "I think I should apologize...I feel like it was my fault that Proctor Magomo's attention found us. I am sorry for ruining your free periods!"
