A Common Enemy

In "The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel," Jusis Albarea and Machias Regnitz's petty bickering has already detailed a field study for one group and is threatening to do the same for another. Rean Schwarzer cuts through to the heart of the matter, pointing out that the Group A and Group B structure of their field studies is such that it places the two groups directly in competition with each other. When Jusis says that he didn't take him for a competitive type, he admits that he cares just as much about winning and losing as the next guy. He cites the example of their recent battle against their instructor, Sara, that he knew she was insanely strong and they had no chance of winning, but that they could have at least evened the odds a little more with better teamwork. "This is a competition" as a motivational tactic. Who knew?
