"Oh? Are you also here for the course?" a smaller man with a long halberd asked.
"Yep," Kyle answered.
"What's your name?" the man asked.
"Kyle Freeman."
"Well then, Kyle, welcome to my course," the man said with a smile. "You're quite early. The others aren't here yet. By the way, my name is Gill, and I'm the instructor."
The two of them talked about Kyle's battle experience and why he thought this course was right for him.
"Ah, I see," Gill said. "In that case, this should be the right course for you."
Kyle nodded before taking out five Ether Pebbles, but Gill held his hand forward to stop Kyle.
"Payment happens after the course. If you are unhappy with the course, you are free to keep your money, but I will also not instruct you again in the future. That's my policy," Gill explained.
"Oh, okay," Kyle said, putting the money away again.
