Got to say, looking forwards to see how Mr. Zelmeyer trains spirit-users vs how Mr. Garth trains his students and if there's any big differences in methodology.

Anyone else struggled to comment on this one?

Hm, seems like Held doesn't like it when she isn't the best. I think Zelmeyer is the first one to ever say she isn't the best, and that she might need longer.

Wait...... Is that a young Garth oO

Wait, what if that's Garth?

@HanMk - maybe that boy is young Garth?

Usually, when a character gets this much focus, we'd know their name by now. And panel 1 was a perfect opportunity for Z to name-drop brown hair kid. The fact that he didn't makes me more suspicious that it's a name we'd instantly recognize.

You know, a name like "Garth."

Fighting a 7 year old is a lose-lose situation. You look weak if you lose or like an asshole if you win.
