Yep! It's painful and exhausting!

"Yipe!" Issei yelped as he was struck in the shin by the wooden sword Kiba used, being too slow to block with his own mock weapon.

"Too slow," Kiba told him, twirling the weapon casually.

"No, you're just too fast! That Knight speed boost isn't fair for a pawn like me!" Issei whined.

"Less complaining, more sparring!" Koneko chided from the side, casually doing squats with a boulder on her back. "...unless you're impatient to get right back to evasion training! I do have something convenient on hand, after all!" She smirked maliciously as she shifted the boulder for emphasis.

"Have at thee!" Issei suddenly shouted at Kiba, shooting forward, clearly motivated. Yeah, he clearly considered sparring with Kiba the lesser of two evils in this case.

"Heh, it's almost a shame we already have Raynare as a gopher, given we have such an easy threat to make you do anything," Kiba smirked as he easily fended Issei off.

Meanwhile, Rias was sparring a bit with Raynare... Mostly just using her as target practice for her Power of Destruction, though fortunately for Raynare, Rias was toning it down enough that every hit only hurt like hell instead of vaporizing her. "Come on, keep moving!" Rias shouted. "The point of this is to have a moving target to practice with!"

"Fuck you, bitch!" Raynare yelped as she dodged another ball that promised pain, flapping her wings frantically.

"No thanks, that's Issei's job!" Rias shouted, making Raynare sputter.

"My my, such a lively group today, isn't it?" Akeno chuckled, helping Asia learn magic, Asia giggling in slight agreement.
