The four were watching very carefully for those that stood out as needing additional incentive. Walker wasn''t going to participate but he did not have any problem with pointing someone out to the girls. "See the one with the green and brown thin shield? They are doing well but their partner isn''t hitting well." Scy spotted the first that was not giving it their all or had not fully grasped the training.


    "General Scy, please allow me to show them a taunt from a real shield user." Su moved in to the group and easily avoided the chaos of the training. She dodged around the elves with her eye for details, every small movement made her slightly adjust to often narrowly avoid an oing pair.


    She raised her shield and fixed her gaze on an elf attacking the shield user with a set of small daggers. This elf was constantly letting their attacks be swatted away without any resistance. This was eitherplete disregard for the training or the elf was unable to tap in to the anger that most closebat types like Remey used to fuel their hard hitting attacks.


    "You spineless worm! Do you think attacks like that will do anything against an opponent? You are lucky to even be breathing right now." Su had been taking lessons from Remey on insults so she could taunt better. The change was still very strange since Su was always so calm and level headed.


    Walker realized that he had never been affected by Su''s taunt and didn''t know what the effects would feel like. However, as he watched the elf turn red with anger he had an idea that taunt was a skill that would in essence increase the anger from the insult used.


    "First that girl tells us we are all weak over and over and now youe over to tell us too?!" The elf had flown in to a rage and charged at Su. The dagger that struck now meeting her shield and produces a harsh metal scraping sound.


    "You call that a dagger strike? The undead hit harder than you and they don''t have muscles." Su''s taunt wasn''t necessarily wrong since the undead were actually fairly powerful. The party had learned this first hand by meeting certain undead that they were very powerful. But the elf didn''t know this and was pushed even further by the taunt.


    A few of the other trainees were watching this and took note of the situation. "Looks like they are distracted. Time for me to jump in." Remey cracked her knuckles and ran in towards a shield user who was standing stationary watching the taunting happen.


    Remey clicked her tongue looking at the eld barely holding a shield in front of her. "You look like a scaredmb after a soft hit. Pathetic." The shield user felt their blood run cold as they processed being called weak after being knocked off their feet. "I at least thought you would go farther but I guess I was wrong. Useless."


    Remey''s words were heard by others around and caused a few trainees to move with more purpose and force. Scy had gotten restless and was moving in to the area herself. She had been watching very carefully to pick out the areas that were missed by Remey and Su. This brought her dead center of the room to let her leviathans out to y yet again.


    "Think you are all too rxed so I am asking my siblings to join you for some exercise." Remey and Su hesitated for a split second while watching the small leviathans swim through the air and try to chomp down on shield users and closebat alike. This was terror in true form for the elves.


    This addition brought peals of evilughter to Scy as she watched the trainees be double as intense. They did their best to avoid the needle sharp teeth of the leviathans which were softly and slowly attacking those who were distracted. If Walker were to tell the elves that the leviathans were not using their real strength at all he was sure they would faint or quit on the spot,


    Once Su and Remey had grasped the situation they felt more excited. This alone spread on their faces and Su began to taunt multiple elves and Remey was knocking over shield users like they were dominoes. The three added to the training and the two squads together had increased the pace and intensity almost triple what it was just moments ago.


    There were still moments where an elf would get tossed aside by Su''s shield bash making the elves jump back in shock. It was very amusing but nice to watch them begin to learn the unique situations that the shield could be used to attack. This was still a foreign style to them, it would be for most who defended and were not using a weapon as a counter skill.


    Remey was shaking the foundations of those defending. This was forcing them to adopt stronger stances and better style overall. She was even pushing their emotions higher and higher which was making them work to remain calm and use their skills under stress.


    Scy was just terror. Her attacks with her fans would wildly change the partnerships due to how the elves needed to dodge and shift meaning that they were now near different elves. This made them expand their training partners and adaptations. The leviathans were the wild card that chomped down near anyone that let themselves slip. This alone was a major factor in keeping everyone''s awareness up.


    Before Walker knew it he was starting to drift off while watching the battling between the elf trainee squads. The next thing he knew he was waking up from his slight nap to a bunch of worn out elves who were equalled by the nearly passed out Su and Remey.
