True to their word, Bjorn and Adena got up early and met the freshmen at the airship docks. The duo escorted them to the Silver Moon Clan's training gym, where their remaining friends had waited after assembling from various locations across the city. Arcturus stepped forward to greet the freshmen as the rest of his group went about their training.

"Hello, freshmen. I'm Arcturus Moonfang, callsign "Alpha". I'm the leader of Team MARS, and this squad. You two must be Ladan and Felix. Welcome to our gym. I see some of you don't quite want to be here. I understand. But I think you may be more interested in this training once I explain a few things.", he said, pausing for a moment.

"See, my ancestors, the Silver Moon Clan, belong to an independent Hunter order who recruit, train, and operate entirely on the frontier, the Bastion Grimmslayers. They settled Bastion 400 years ago, and have held it to this day, making it the oldest frontier settlement ever known. 50 years ago, my grandparents moved the Clan to Patch, where we've lived ever since. However, we're still educated the same way. Training starts at age 4, and killing Grimm begins at age 14. Art, dancing, music, singing, handicrafts, gardening, every single hobby we have is dedicated to training our senses and skills as warriors. We are stronger than any other Beacon students in our year, and even some upperclassmen, too. We won't ask you to join us, but we can teach you our training techniques, our skills. Even an entire martial art built specifically to engage multiple opponents and Aura users, invented by my family and known only to the Grimmslayers. Aiden can tell you a bit about it, he saw an example yesterday when we sparred. You may think this all unnecessary. But it's certain that you will go beyond the Kingdom's walls and into the outland at some point in your time at Beacon, and later in your careers as Huntsmen. It's the most dangerous wilderness you will ever encounter. My people haven't just lived through four centuries of life out there, they've thrived. Who better, then, to teach you how to survive it?", Arcturus explained.
