Xavier shrugged and waved a hand dismissively. “It’s fine. Go ahead and take care of whatever it is you need to do. We'll just put this tour on a rain check for later. I’m sure I can’t get into too much trouble.” He bid farewell to his tour guides and walked away from the cabin area. As he was walking, he noticed Chloe walking towards the arena and decided to follow at a distance.

Chloe got to the arena, and she set up some of the training dummies in a circle around her. It took a few minutes to get them in set up in the position she wanted them to be in, but eventually, she was content with their positioning. Chloe walked to the center of the circle of dummies and drew her sword. She took a moment to steady her breathing and clear her mind before she started attacking. Her attacks her swift and fluid, cutting and slashing at the dummies. She would attack one dummy with a few slashes and stabs before moving onto another, whether it was simply stepping to the side to the next target, or performing a spin dodge and attacking the dummy on the other side of the circle. As she continued attacking, Chloe spotted Xavier out of the corner of her eye standing in the shadow of the entrance to the arena. She wanted to go over and talk to him, but something told her not to. Instead, she turned back to her training. Her strikes became harder and faster as she continued. She was no longer practicing her skills. All her strikes were with anger as the dummies started falling apart. Eventually, all the training dummies were destroyed and laying in pieces in the ground. Breathing heavily, Chloe looked back at the entrance; Xavier was no where to be seen. She sheathed her sword and began cleaning her mess as she calmed down.
