I got promoted in the Schola! It was a really easy test, but enjoyable. I am now a Compagni (yellow belt).

It was mostly a knowledge test. There were 6 plays that I had to know and demonstrate. I also had to demonstrate all of the Posta stances), both unarmed and with the longsword. Most of it was answering questions about Fiore's history, what certain concepts meant, and what was happening in Europe at the to me Fiore was active.

I like that, but the history part of it would interest me. I'd be digging back into the manuals...and that's so much fun.
