So the end result of the duels…
Amber and Lea managed to pass but it seems like Ries and Mara lost to him.
Still, I gave each of them a kiss anyway regardless of the result.
Incidentally, both of the Mercs who also followed along to challenge the instructor also lost their duels as well.
Ries and Mara had asked if I really wanted everyone to win the duel and I said it didn't matter since we would be planning to stay here for the full duration anyway. So even if they lost the duel tomorrow, it wouldn't matter either.
Besides… They were attending this academy out of interest, not out of necessity. And we can afford such luxuries so it was not a big deal even if they fail anyway.
I would say the main people who 'needed' the license were Yumiko, Amber, Lea and myself and we've already accomplished that.
Ries doesn't need a pilot license to maintain or modify the machine and she only wants one for the novelty of it. Which she would get anyway as long as she completes the course.
