Arcturus listened to the three freshmen discuss their leader, belting his new sword in place.

"Well, things are going to get more interesting for him soon. The others are going to exhaust themselves soon at this pace. Rambert's about to ice some tennis balls and join in to help out. If it was safe in this building, I would test Aiden even further by clearing Kerry to charge his Will-O-Wisps with Dust.", the team leader told them. True to his word, the cryokinetic had collected a bucket of tennis balls and covered them in a thin layer of frost, sending them out as Albus and Roderick shifted towards Kieran to give him a place in the formation. Unlike Albus, the platinum blonde had much more precise control over his projectiles, owing to the fact that line of sight wasn't an issue for him. Aiden seemed surprised to see Rambert's addition to the fray, but recovered quickly.

"Bjorn, what do you say about sparring Aidan next?", Arcturus said. His stepcousin looked at him with a grin, his fangs extending slightly as he unsheathed his bear claws.

"Sounds fun. He and the Grimmslayers share the same focus on attrition in their fighting styles. It will be an interesting spar, though I'm grateful that exercise is softening him up a bit. That Semblance looks amazingly difficult to counter so far.", Bjorn replied. Arcturus scoffed a bit.

"He might be able to take a pounding, but anyone is done for if they can't fight back. Applying some Stone Dust would immobilize Aiden and leave him wide open for his opponents to chip away at his Aura, maybe even bypass it by going for a concussion to knock him out. Nobody's reserves last forever, after all. Rowan's vine glyphs could box him in quite nicely, and Elysia could also fuck with him pretty good. Aura might save him from damage, but her lightning should still lock his muscles right up.", Arcturus reminded his fellow team leader. Bjorn grimanced when he was reminded of his subordinate's electrokinetic abilities.

"Yep. Elysia pulls that with all of us. She really ought to invest in a proper melee weapon, though. Ellie's gonna be boned if an enemy shows up prepared with insulated armor. Hm. Hey Aizen, speaking of fighting, are you going to take up Arcturus on that spar? Watching the guys use Aiden for target practice is getting boring.", Bjorn stated.

Arcturus drew his blade, a broadsword-sized khopesh with a two-handed hilt, waved edge, spiked pommel, and crossguards curved towards the blade. Hook-like projections were just under the curved section of the blade and behind the point on the rear edge. He walked to the side of the sparring ring opposite Aizen, and spun his sword in his hand before taking a stance.

"You got a taste of Grimmslayer swordsmanship with Electra, but she's got years of training before she masters the style. How about I show you how one of it's adepts truly fights? I'm ready when you are.", Arcturus said.
