Emery's confidence was palpable as he questioned, "So how do you want it? A duel?"
To his surprise, the scar-faced commander responded, "No, that doesn't prove much." He moved towards a control panel and initiated a challenge for Emery, setting it at level 3.
Jai, who was observing the interaction, voiced her concern. "Commander, level 3? Maybe we should start with level 1. The guy just arrived, and he doesn't know much about these Avalonian drones."
The commander responded firmly, "Jai, as a tactician, you know the most about fighting an unexpected battle."
Emery's initial impression of the commander wasn't favorable, and he felt a bit annoyed by the decision. However, Jinkan intervened, suggesting, "That's okay; he can take level 3. Maybe even higher levels?"
Emery's unexpected response left everyone taken aback. "Level three will do, but I don't see the point of doing this."
