Cloudy with a chance of Limit Breaks

Training Grounds

I am the night, I am the Dark Knight… And I was utterly perplexed when Ramza decided, just as we were doing a good run in the deep dungeon, that we should go out to the Dorvauldar Marshes to train Cloud. Especially me, he had suggested – though the suggestion felt more like an order – because I was the most skilled out of all the squires. Ah, the curse of my talent for acquiring skills…

Meanwhile, Ramza had decided to try out his singing skills and of course, while I was on the field, being chased by an inexperienced madman whose only skill was to hurl some sort of Limit Breaks at me (seriously, why not at the monsters?! The heavens know we were seeing enough of them), it dawned on me what Ramza’s true plan was.

As he walked around the marshes, singing to his heart’s content about Black Magic spells, I saw him raking in the Black Mage experience. I had done it before, though my manner of putting myself through Black Mage education was dancing. He wanted to become a Dark Knight.

Intermezzo

Cloud did grow stronger quite quickly, and before long – after my numerous attempts to dodge his Brave Slash and teleporting all over the place just to give him a run for his gil – he had amassed enough experience to decide that a semi-stationary Training Dummy would be better practice for him, and so he turned his gaze upon…

Ramza. Unsuspecting Ramza who chanted about all things Black Magic.
