The clamor of steel rings through the training yard as you cross blades with Ike. His blows are heavy and sure, each perfectly placed. You're forced back step by step, until finally he knocks your weapon from your hands with a deft twist of his wrist. "You have potential," Ike says, lowering his sword. "But you'll need to train harder than that to keep up with the Greil Mercenaries. I can teach you, if you're willing to put in the work."
