them.-What would young master say to joining us? Such a joint training session?
Draco was already about to refuse fearing that he would only disturb everyone, but he noticed something strange. Everyone seemed to be anticipating his reaction. On the faces staring at him, he could see some trace of concealed anticipation for confirmation.
-If I'm not bothering anyone...- he said after a moment. He lowered his eyes and stared at the ground. He wasn't sure if he had read the anticipation he had sensed earlier correctly and was a little afraid of the reaction of his master's soldiers. However, when he heard somewhere off to the side a sigh of relief he looked at the warriors. On their countenances he saw only satisfaction.
-From what I have seen, I can tell that young master will not be disturbing us.- Trace smiled in a friendly manner for a moment and then suddenly became serious.-What are you all standing around for?! - He raised his voice, looking at the soldiers. -You have already had your warm-up, so get into groups of five and practice one-on-one battles! The winner fights another duel! - The lieutenant's voice echoed over the square forcing everyone to move from their spots.- Ari! Forth! Kei! Vi! Get over here!

They were of similar height to Draco, but were more slender and less muscular. They looked like they were fast and familiar with weapons, and extremely motivated.
-Young master will be practising with the four of them today.- Trace nodded at the boys standing in front of him and then beckoned the dragon to him. When Draco stood next to the lieutenant the man continued.-This is Ari Moon.-He pointed to a blond boy with olive skin and bright, serene eyes. Ari had pointed ears
