Kreans let out a very toothy grin as the instructor handed him a wooden greatsword, it was a weapon that he hadn't used before but had seen a lot of amongst his people as well as what it could do to a person. His was just wood right now, but they were training after all, and even the wooden version had some weight to it he assumed seeing as how the other humans and half breeds had to use two hands to keep the blade upright where he only needed one. In his hands it almost looked like a regular sword where on the others it was huge, from the size and weight of the blade he'd think that if this was made out of metal it would be quite the fearsome weapon, maybe once he was finished in his last stretch of training in Helkorth he'd have to make himself one, his spear was certainly a good weapon and one he was most comfortable with, but the sword felt right in his hand so there was no harm in making one himself later as an extra weapon.
Whether it was the toothy smile he'd just shown or the fact that he was an eight and a half foot tall Skaldi there were no volunteers to be his sparring partner when the instructor began asking who would face him, in truth he had expected it considering these people had likely never seen a Skaldi in their life let alone a Saurian able to wield a great weapon as easily as they would a knife. It took a significant amount of convincing and coaching before one of the humans stepped forward with a wooden buckler and short sword in their hands, his eyes betraying obvious fear and yet still he forced himself out in front of Kreans. The Saurian looked down at the human, looking him over, at least this one had the bravery to come out and try rather than facing one of their own, he thought as the rest of the applicants partnered off and began their own mock sparring sessions.
Lowering his weapon so the tip was pointed at his partner Kreans assumed an offensive stance and whipped his sword at them, although it was easily dodged by the human who countered with a thrust that very nearly hit him, it seemed that the human was faster than he looked and possibly faster than he. Another grin alighted on his face at the thought of a good battle, maybe this would be more fun than he'd expected, Kreans flung himself into the fight, only slightly holding back his strength to prevent serious harm.
