Syn looked at her as she blushed and smirked a bit as he tapped his head.<br/>"Also may want to learn how to pick and choose what memories you see...to avoid things like that."<br/>When she constantly kept thanking him he shrugged and informed her it was simply because he was bored and she happened to be the one closest to him.<br/>"Don't get too excited about tomorrow.  Something tells me you won't be happy after class is done."<br/>He said as he walked off.  Heading back to his room he decided to spend the rest of his uneventful day taking a nap.  Naturally after classes let out, Sammy came to his room to yell at him about interrupting her class and embarrassing her, this led to angry sex simply because what else was there to do?<br/><br/>The next morning, Syn was in his little training circle with the first class of the day and again, none of them had learned a thing, which resulted in them all flat on their backs.  Less chatter and less arrogance but still no team work and no using their brains.  He really did find it funny that all of the students were so focused on him that none of them bothered distracting him to reach the X.  They all assumed that he meant for them to beat him, which wasn't the case.  Even if all of them charged him at once, he'd be able to take them on.  He intended them to use their brains or show some coordinated teamwork.  Teamwork was how they would survive.  Single combat was not something they would survive against a trained Hunter and Hunters were very team oriented.  It was how they managed to take down high level threats.<br/><br/>Individual talent, team effort.  Respecting the enemy for their abilities was key, and not being caught off guard, or if you are, being quick witted so that you could figure out what to do.  The class before Diem's had Syn squaring off against Freya and her two friends.  This particular fight lasted quite a bit longer than the others but as Freya zipped around him as distraction Syn stayed still and when he fist came his way he lifted his hand and stopped it dead.<br/>"Impressive, but not enough."<br/>He said as he quickly gripped her arm and threw her into her friend who was sneaking around behind him.  As the two bodies collided he moved to the third, testing them as a team now.  Pinning the third to the ground he aimed a shadow spike at her.  It wouldn't kill her but it would remove her chances of graduating as it would seriously injure her.  Something that the Hunters did was that they sacrificed team members to complete the mission.<br/><br/>Syn had never left someone to die, even failing a mission at that time to make sure that the team was still whole.  As he kept the female in his hold he looked at Freya.  "Your choice.  Fail, or pass.  You pass, she doesn't."<br/>Given the weapon he was using, it would bypass her armor and aim right for vitals, the threat of loosing one's ability to fight or be of any use at all was enough to make the girl panic as she was begging her friends to help her.  Syn didn't move and simply waited.  Smiling as Freya dropped to her knees.  Releasing her friend he looked at Freya.<br/>"You three pass...this course.  Protecting your team is paramount.  If you fail a mission but everyone can go home then you can re-group and do it again.  Take the knowledge of the fight and prepare accordingly.  A true loss is when someone doesn't get to go home."
