Hrah! Hyah! Ryaaaah!

Catherine's working hard. I guess even the strongest fighters can't neglect their training.

At it again. Or is she still at it?

Catherine

Oh! A spectator. If you want to ogle, you ought to be a little less conspicuous.

Leonie
volume_up

Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it! I was just passing by.

Leonie

I couldn't help but wonder though... Have you been training all this time?
link
Catherine
volume_up

Yes. I'm simulating prolonged combat. Fighting for a long time requires a whole different set of skills.
link
Catherine
volume_up

If you can't handle it in training, you'll certainly be doomed against the real thing.

Leonie

I can't even imagine having what it takes to keep that up for so long.
link
Catherine
volume_up

You've been in your share of battles. I'm sure you have some sense of what it takes.

Catherine
volume_up

You want to be a mercenary, right? You should at least try to imagine.

A brutal, protracted clash in open marshland, neither side retreating.

Catherine

In that situation, what will you do? Your survival depends on decisions you make in the moment.
link
Leonie
volume_up

I see why you're so successful.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Most importantly, don't give up.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Don't start thinking about how you might lose, or might die. Focus on surviving, on winning.
link
Leonie
volume_up

You're right. I've been narrow-minded.
link
Leonie
volume_up

I had decided, since I don't have a Crest and can't use Relics, that I'm powerless against someone like you.
link
Leonie
volume_up

But that's wrong. I'm not helpless. Not as long as I'm breathing and on my feet.
link
Leonie
volume_up

So, the first thing I'm going to do is learn how to beat you. When you're unarmed, at least.
link
Catherine
volume_up

That's the spirit, Leonie! Though I'm not planning on losing either, you know.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Good! I hope you're ready, because I'm going to train even harder than you!

Catherine

You remind me of myself when I was young.
link
Catherine
volume_up

I would become so angry at my own weakness. I feel strangely nostalgic, seeing that same anger in you...
link
Catherine
volume_up

H-huh? Where'd that girl go?

Leonie

We start tomorrow!
