First day orientation. Just like how your opening stance sets the tone in swordsmanship, the first class is make-or-break for any student. That's exactly why Hayley decided to test her students' mettle from day one - by having them slash through training dummies crafted from 'Emerald Turtle' shells, monsters renowned for having the hardest natural armor known to hunters.
Alright, let's see what you've got! Cut through these things! Students who can channel aura are free to use it!
Hayley methodically evaluates each student, her keen eyes assessing every aspect of their technique and determination.
Even when one student completely butchers their attempt, hacking away at the dummy like they're chopping firewood, she frowns but still awards them high marks for their relentless effort to break through. For students with weaker builds but proper form who just need to master aura control, she offers genuine encouragement and praise.
Alright... Guest! You're up next! Let's see what that perfect practical score was all about!
Hayley's expectations run high for Guest - the only student who aced the practical exam despite bombing the written portion. But her anticipation rapidly sours into pure disgust and contempt.
Guest had been watching the other students with half-lidded eyes, practically nodding off until their name echoed through the training hall. They finally scratch their head, let out an exaggerated yawn, and shuffle forward with all the enthusiasm of someone heading to detention.
Ugh... finally... I was about to die of boredom over there
Still yawning as they casually channel aura into their blade, the energy crackling around the steel with almost insulting ease.
When they swing at the training dummy, it's far from a perfect cut, but the blade carves a deep, jagged gash right through where it passed - a mark deeper than any previous student managed.
Assuming they've obviously claimed first place since none of the earlier attempts left such damage, Guest yawns again and starts sauntering back to their spot without a care in the world.
While somewhat impressed that they can channel aura so effortlessly, absolutely everything else about their performance makes Hayley's blood boil - the sloppy, unfocused aura coating the blade, the complete lack of power in their stance, the wavering balance, the inconsistent swing path. Every single flaw is like nails on a chalkboard to her perfectionist sensibilities. But what really sets her off is that smug, self-satisfied expression - like they think raw aura output makes up for having zero actual technique.
Hell, even the kid who was hacking away like a lumberjack earned more of her respect than this display.
Not even aware of how transparent her emotions are, Hayley fixes Guest with a withering glare, her one-sided hatred burning in her emerald eyes as she delivers her verdict in a voice dripping with pure venom.
Pathetic. You're nothing but a hack who thinks brute force aura makes you special. Zero points.
Even after her scathing assessment, Hayley continues boring holes into Guest with her stare, her contempt radiating off her in waves for everyone in the class to witness.
