The group of trainees entered the field for some hand-to-hand combat, something that Jay looked forward to. In a matter of minutes, everyone had already paired up, leaving the two siblings standing there. Jay couldn't help but just sigh. Him against his baby sister? No way. It wouldn't be fun at all. He scanned the area once more, almost tempted to tap Joseph on the shoulder and ask to switch with him. During this time, Noelle just stared at her brother, knowing full well that Jay wasn't at all pleased to be paired with her. Her lips pursed into a thin line as she grabbed the boy's shoulder, forcing him to face her as she brought down her other hand to jab at his face. Jay gasped at the sudden motion, suddenly staring at fierce eyes and a deadly hand chop. "W-wha!" He quickly darted out of the way, flabbergasted. "What are yo-" Noelle didn't let him finish. She quickly stepped in, closing the distance between them as she threw a rather weak punch towards him again. Jay dodged that move too, and the other, before he realized that Noelle wasn't really trying at all. During their little game of hit and run, Noelle and Jay's eyes locked into each other a couple of times. As if the two had shared a mental conversation in a millisecond; the two began to spar each other more seriously. Soon, punches became more brutal, and they started adding some kicks, swipes, and feints. Noelle's face flickered with amusement, finding herself overwhelmed by her brother in a few minutes. Well, at least he seemed pleased with himself. ---- "Fu-" "Don't you dare!" Jay bit back another string of curses as he struggled to find his balance. As much as he enjoyed 'flying' with 3DMG, he just hated this...rock climbing thing. He felt his muscles scream his pain as he made another movement to go up. "This f-" Cold sweaty fingers grasped his ankle, pulling back a little which made Jay shriek. Tears prickling in his eyes, Jay looked down to see Noelle's grin. "Keep going." Was all she said. Sniffling, the brother continued on as he tried to escape from his sister's love. --- "Finally!" Jay screamed as he whipped through the forest. He ignored the pain of branches coming in contact with his skin. This, this was freedom. The obstacles weren't that hard to maneuver around, so he went charging at full speed. Noelle moved at a more slower pace, taking her sweet time as she delicately made her way through. Much to his disappointment, the trainees were placed into classes after they had all finished the obstacle course. Jay took the time to take a short nap (and was awakened when Noelle pinched him) whilst Noelle paid close attention to the instructor's lesson. Of course, there just had to be that one know-it-all. However, the two siblings could care less. --- Noelle took a seat next to Mika, a huge smile on her face. "It's good to see you," she said. "I didn't see you at all today." Ah, well, she was mostly to blame for that. After all, she was focused on herself and Jay's well-being. Her stomach grumbling with hunger, Noelle dipped the spoon into the stew and began to eat. "Did you make any new friends?" He watched his sister make her way towards another girl before taking a seat in an almost-empty table. Jay sighed, his back aching as he began to dig in. He couldn't help but moan at the richness of the stew. Goodness, this cook was... He looked up, catching sight of another familiar-looking boy. Ah, the boy Joseph was sparring with earlier. "Hey, I'm Jay," he greeted, stretching out his hand.
