The response came immediately, loud and unified, but it was Khaira's voice from the front that rose above the rest, her tone carrying that same forceful, rolled accent.
"YES, INSTRUCTA!!"
Brakkar gave a short nod, his sharp gaze sweeping across the rows as he continued.
"GOOD… NOW TELL ME… 'AS EVERYONE THOUGHT ABOUT THE POINTERS I GAVE YA LAST SESSION?"
