I'm not sure if I'd go as far as to call my skills combat ready.

[A half-truth. Juri is confident in her own skills. She's more than competent fencer and teacher -- and a duelist, which honestly is most important part to her. Now, whether she has it what it takes to smash the world's shell and obtain the power of miracles is left to be seen.

In duels the rules were simple and clean, knock off the rose with your sword and you win. But in an actual combat it's different. Depending on the situation there might be no rules or even goals, other than the pure survival. (Then again, wasn't that the same with their duels).]

So, you believe we have been picked here by a random selection only?
