I have to teach kids? Amazing, thought Iniatius. Big mistake, thought everyone else. What the London's staffer who gave him this mission seemed to forget was how Ignatius practiced when he was younger. He didn't play football, never did any drills. No, what he did was yield the sword. Master the art of jousting. Run around with a heavy armor.
Strong of his knight training of the past, Ignatius felt ready to teach them kids the way of knighthood. And if it helped some of them get better at football all the better. He quickly ordered some chainmail of all sizes. Nothing better to train one's stamina than to practice with a heavy armor.
The first drill was sword wielding. They would learn how to correctly use a sword for an hour before fighting in a tournament against each other. To train their reaction and anticipation, he explained knowing full well he just wanted them to enjoy the art of sword fighting.
The following drill was a joust. After a lot of begging Ignatius managed to get some horses for the day and was ready to teach them all. It's good for balance he said, hoping it was true.
He tried to end the camp with a writing exercice about Fortuna, which didn't gather much attention.
