[sub][@Crusader Lord][@FamishedPants][/sub] Fritzi nodded along with their observations while jotting something down on her “notepad.” [color=#bd71e8]”Unit cohesion is it.”[/color] She smiled while drumming a stylus against her chin. Though she did look at Lilliah when she delivered her next part. [color=#bd71e8]”Most of your examples of ‘recklessness’ just stem from agents acting on their own impulses.”[/color] Her smile disappeared. [color=#bd71e8]”But while Breacher’s choice to press against the Freelancers was ultimately the wrong thing to do, It was justified. You’re dealing with freelancers who value money so much they are willing to work alongside murderers and kidnappers. They could have routed and killed you all if you did nothing. Breacher did have her issues during that operation, but that wasn’t one of them. Though maybe I’m just hesitant to criticize her because out of everyone, she scores the highest in cohesion. Not by much, mind you, and certainly not high enough to avoid having this conversation later.”[/color] Fritzi guided the agents deeper into the test course. While they walked, the holographic generators kicked on and their surroundings changed. The white floors became gray tiles, broken obstacles turned into giant stones with roughly the same shape, And the walls sported rows and rows of stone frames. The sun was just starting to peak over the horizon, painting the sky in hues of purple. They were in a colosseum, frozen in the first minutes of sunrise. [color=#bd71e8]”Speaking of freelancers, I commissioned one to spar with you today to help you learn cohesion. It’s full contact sparring, so you can get as rough as you like, but make sure to keep your defenses up.”[/color] Not long after that, a metal gauntlet gripped one of the giant stones and shoved it out of the way. It bounced end over end across the arena floor. This revealed a gritty looking knight. His armor was covered in scratches, his sword crooked from countless battles with durable foes. His armor was scratched all over, and his cape was tattered and faded by long fights under the sun. His blade and armor were stained with blood, likely that of his adversaries. His helmet had become misshapen after numerous close calls. This was clearly a veteran of combat. And his armor was colored [url=https://cdn.donmai.us/sample/a7/76/__himemori_luna_and_luknight_hololive_drawn_by_shio_no_9__sample-a776ba5720825dafba427c670829ebf3.jpg]pastel pink[/url]. “[color=#FF00FF]A[/color][color=#FF00FD]l[/color][color=#FF00FB]r[/color][color=#FF00FA]i[/color][color=#FF00F8]g[/color][color=#FF00F7]h[/color][color=#FF00F5]t[/color][color=#FF00F3],[/color] [color=#FF00F0]I[/color] [color=#FF00ED]k[/color][color=#FF00EC]n[/color][color=#FF00EA]o[/color][color=#FF00E8]w[/color] [color=#FF00E5]y[/color][color=#FF00E4]o[/color][color=#FF00E2]u[/color] [color=#FF00DF]g[/color][color=#FF00DD]u[/color][color=#FF00DC]y[/color][color=#FF00DA]s[/color] [color=#FF00D7]w[/color][color=#FF00D5]a[/color][color=#FF00D4]n[/color][color=#FF00D2]n[/color][color=#FF00D1]a[/color] [color=#FF00CD]f[/color][color=#FF00CC]i[/color][color=#FF00CA]g[/color][color=#FF00C9]h[/color][color=#FF00C7]t[/color] [color=#FF00C4]m[/color][color=#FF00C2]e[/color][color=#FF00C1],[/color] [color=#FF00BE]b[/color][color=#FF00BC]u[/color][color=#FF00BA]t[/color] [color=#FF00B7]l[/color][color=#FF00B6]e[/color][color=#FF00B4]a[/color][color=#FF00B3]v[/color][color=#FF00B1]e[/color] [color=#FF0000]M[/color][color=#FF4500]A[/color][color=#FF8B00]G[/color][color=#FFD000]I[/color][color=#E7FF00]C[/color][color=#A2FF00]A[/color][color=#5CFF00]L[/color] [color=#00FF2E]D[/color][color=#00FF73]R[/color][color=#00FFB9]E[/color][color=#00FEFF]A[/color][color=#00B9FF]M[/color] [color=#002EFF]P[/color][color=#1700FF]R[/color][color=#5C00FF]I[/color][color=#A200FF]N[/color][color=#E700FF]C[/color][color=#FF00D0]E[/color][color=#FF008B]S[/color][color=#FF0045]S[/color] [color=#FF0089]o[/color][color=#FF0088]u[/color][color=#FF0086]t[/color] [color=#FF0083]o[/color][color=#FF0082]f[/color] [color=#FF007E]t[/color][color=#FF007D]h[/color][color=#FF007B]i[/color][color=#FF007A]s[/color][color=#FF0078]![/color]” The knight’s voice boomed before he cast his arm towards the tiny princess behind himself. She too wore a lot of pink, and even had pink hair. She was sitting behind the knight, lightly sobbing. “[color=#B0C8FF]P[/color][color=#B2C7FF]w[/color][color=#B4C6FF]i[/color][color=#B6C6FF]n[/color][color=#B8C5FF]k[/color] [color=#BCC4FF]P[/color][color=#BEC3FF]w[/color][color=#C0C2FF]o[/color][color=#C2C2FF]w[/color][color=#C4C1FF]n[/color][color=#C6C0FF]d[/color][color=#C8C0FF]a[/color][color=#CABFFF]h[/color][color=#CCBEFF]![/color] [color=#D0BDFF]D[/color][color=#D2BCFF]w[/color][color=#D4BCFF]o[/color][color=#D6BBFF]n[/color][color=#D8BBFF]t[/color] [color=#DCB9FF]g[/color][color=#DEB9FF]e[/color][color=#E0B8FF]t[/color] [color=#E4B7FF]h[/color][color=#E6B6FF]u[/color][color=#E8B5FF]w[/color][color=#EAB5FF]u[/color][color=#ECB4FF]r[/color][color=#EEB3FF]t[/color][color=#F0B3FF]![/color] [color=#F4B1FF]U[/color][color=#F6B1FF]w[/color][color=#F8B0FF]U[/color]” She handed the knight his shield, which unlike the rest of his armor, was in pristine condition. There wasn’t a single blemish on his shield, which had an image of the princess herself on its face. It was shiny and refracted the light like the paint job on a new convertible. “Pink Pounder” held the shield with pride.
