To say that sparring was a pastime among the students of Beacon was an understatement. Tournament season had inspired students who remained after the festival to try their hand against competitors, especially those who had progressed quite far into the tourney. Juno himself had been challenged to a few matches in the past, but he more often than not declined. He had more pressing matters to attend to, anyway.
The fallout of Acero's injury had left him quite busy, as the school insisted on him running supplementary gun training. It was all busywork. Boring, monotonous, and nothing he wasn't already familiar with. It was already a rare occurrence for the young man to get a day off, and he wasn't going to spend it taking on some haughty student without the skill to back up his words.
However, his stride across the vacant arenas paused when a clip of his match against the Vacuan champion, Zabar Aga, caught his attention from the corner of his eye. The student at the computer wasn't watching for him, however, that much was sure. He seemed far more focused on Zabar's movements. Of course he was. Zabar was the champion, and the only participant in the top eight block to not be from Beacon. He had taken the tournament on Vale's home turf. It would be more of a surprise if people weren't gunning for him.
Nevertheless, Juno recognized the boy behind the computer after a few moments of recollection. Catalina Glenn had been a fighter in the tournament in the same block as Nathan. He had been taken out relatively early, and was a part of the controversy surrounding Nathan Eau. It seemed this guy was aiming to take down Zabar at some point.
At the very least, it would be interesting to watch him try.
Seeing as how his schedule had been clear for a while, Juno set foot on the arena floor, a hand resting on Phi's card as he did so. After a quick check to ensure that everything was in place, Juno looked back to the other student, pausing a bit before speaking up. "Y'know, that match wasn't one of my best. H-Gen safeties had been disabled somehow. The electricity dust shouldn't have done as much as it did."
