**Roman Mess Hall**

As the Roman soldiers walked away, the 96th legion soldier who had yet to speak up stood and began to address the Solusi who had intervened.

"We thank you First Officer. We would have hated it if your impression of us was stained by a fight breaking out aboard your ship. Even if it were through no fault of our own, I doubt those among you would be very friendly to any of us Roa'marii after an incident."

"We could've taken them in a fight. They wouldn't have stood a chance. We aren't in the elite legions for nothing." Jos'arro grumbled, slightly upset that he hadn't had the chance to fight some of the new xenos hand to hand. He was then silenced with a glare from the guard who he had cut off.

"Please excuse him, I'm sure he was looking forward to testing his strength on your soldiers. I am Agent Lai'saron and these two are Agents Ebo'name and Str'odis. we are members of the 96th Legion of the Roa'marii Empire. Those three are Sergeants Jos'arro, Per'atio, and Col'cato of the 42nd legion." Agent Lai'saron told the First Officer, pointing to each of the soldiers as he named them. He was about to continue when he was interrupted once more, this time by Sergeant Per'atio.

"Before you two go on into more diplomatic talks, is it possible that we could find a training room of some sort? While i'm not as prone to violence as Jos'arro, I'd like to get in a good workout after eating."

"You wouldn't happen to be able to show us to one such are would you? We would be quite grateful, and it would probably help get us away from the majority of the negative attention we seem to be receiving."

**Docking Bay**

General Kaisur looked around the hanger and at each of the five Roman soldiers one by one. He said nothing as he walked up to each Roman, looking each one up and down, his gaze staying longer at their eyes as it moved over them. After a couple minutes of silent observation the general began to speak.

"Imperator, I would like to warn you beforehand. Magic is not to be trifled with. Do not try to do anything beyond your own power or it could very easily go very bad for not only yourself, but everyone around you. I'm glad you picked some disciplined soldiers for me, it'll make this much easier. Now, if you want to watch the training then stay out of the way. If you're going to participate then i suggest you forget your title and stand among these five. All of you are new to magic and as such you are all newly recruited rookies. Now, let us begin."

General Kaisur then took out his sword, the handle glowing a soft green along with the gauntlet on the general's hand. The sword floated until it was at chest height halfway between the general and the Romans. Then Jer'rahd began to teach.

"Since you seem to have felt the magic in you already, i'm going to skip the whole look into yourself bullshit. Now, you've never used this magic before so lets start with magic 101. Magic comes from a natural source that permeates the universe. Each person has access to their own personal pool that they are born with. Some species have large pools, while others have next to no access to it at all. Yours seems to have a fairly large natural pool, but that doesn't mean you can do a lot. For beginners, the simplest spells will take incredible amounts of power. over time, through practice you can become more efficient with spells. I always believe that a few good spells mastered is better than a large number of spells with little control. Telekinesis is perhaps the simplest spell there is for the standard magic user, so we'll start with that."

Jer'rahd then took out a handful of small pebbles and gave each Roman one to hold. "You must focus the magical energy on the object and form the spell as if it were a net wrapping around it. you then apply a pull in the desired direction to get it to move. Focus the energy inside you on the pebbles you're holding. Once all of you are able to cause the pebbles to float in the air we will continue. If you manage it before someone else, keep practicing. try to use smaller amounts of magic each time."

With the first objective given, Jer'rahd watched the Romans attempt to grasp their magic.
