Two days later a letter arrived:

"Dear Miss Grimson,
After examining all available information, we have come to the conclusion that you fulfill all requirements to continue coaching our client. Our primary goal is to introduce the client to Turf War matches as well as integrate her into inkling society. We still demand strict secrecy.
The next training session will take place next Wednesday. Time and location will remain the same."

There was neither a signature, nor any other note of the sender.

She was still unsure why she was ordered to do this job, but she arrived at Camp Triggerfish on time.
Two black dressed guys greeted her, as she arrived.
"Miss Grimson? Please join us."
They escorted her to the changing rooms. There were even more guards.
"Well, I guess I can change on my own?", she asked a bit displeased, not waiting for an answer and going in one of the changing rooms. After putting her gear and her Ink Tank on, she left the room on the other side.

Camp Triggerfish was empty today. There was no Scout coaching today and the map was in an early Ranked rotation. No one would be here until tomorrow.
Candy went to one of the registration terminals next to the spawn, typing a few things on the display. The guards were watching her, but she did not mind.
Camp Triggerfish had a unique training program to help young squids get used to Turf Wars. And today, she would introduce it to Seahorse.

She was sitting next to the spawn, her roller lying next to her, her legs dangling on the edge to the lower area.
Candy barely turned around as she heard the sound of ink behind her.
"Hey, Seahorse", she said with a smile.
The Octoling wasn't looking very pleased, spawning next to two of her guards.
"Don't call me that."
"Then tell me your name and I'll call you by that instead."
Seahorse didn't reply.
She stood up, looking at the guards.
"We're going to practice reaction time and aiming today. Don't panic, okay?"
Picking up her roller, she turned to Seahorse once more.
"I want you to shoot at the targets you'll find all across the arena. It's up to you how you'll pass that test."
Changing into her squid form, Candy super-jumped to the other spawn, leaving Seahorse alone.

"Ratbag", Seahorse mumbled, giving her guards an angry look and jumping down to the lower area.
The Inkling had mentioned targets, but she couldn't see anything that looked like a target. What did she mean by that?
She took a step forward, when suddenly a squid-shaped silhouette popped out of the ground.
Reflexively she grabbed her Squiffer, shot and jumped to the side.
Her shot missed. She looked at the thing again and realized it was just some kind of big balloon.
She mumbled, aimed and fired again, the target bursting into a spot of ink on the ground.

"What's the point of that?", she asked, but no one replied.
So she continued walking as two more dummies appeared in front of her. She wasn't surprised by them this time and hit each with a perfect shot.
She also changed into her Octopus form and swim along her own ink to be faster.

As more dummies appeared in front of her, she changed back, shot them and continued her hunt, until she reached the center of the map.
But to be honest, this was becoming boring for her.
She looked around. There were several paths she could take.
Seahorse finally decided to continue straight ahead, this path seemed to be the shortest and she would be able to end this training sooner.
One shot and her ink led her over the platform on the middle to the other side. When a dummy appeared right next to her, she jumped out of the ink, shot and hit the dummy perfectly.

"Good shot", Candy commented on her hit, sitting on top of the wall right next to the Octoling, looking down on her.
Seahorse turned around in an instant, aiming for Candy once again.
"Your goal is over there." Candy pointed behind her, in the direction of the Spawn. The path was covered with some ink.
"Hmpf...", Seahorse mumbled, focusing back on her training.

Only a few steps later, a much bigger dummy appeared. Seahorse grabbed a Suction Bomb, throwing it at the target before shooting. The combination of both attacks managed to burst the dummy.
"Pretty good observation." Candy grinned. And Seahorse ignored her.
The training was almost done. Around the corner, Seahorse saw a big sign with "GOAL" on it.
She swam to the point, changing to her humanoid form, as two more big Dummies appeared. Two shots on each of them managed to destroy them. But at the same time her ink hit the ground, something started gleaming right in front of her.
"Shit", she shouted, jumping back.

The Ink Mine almost missed her. Ink was all over her body, but she was still alive.
Candy jumped in front of her, applauding.
"That reaction was awesome. Almost everyone fails at the last trap. You really have talent."
"I know I'm good", she responded angrily, changing into her Octopus form to regenerate from the hit.

"But I want to see your skills myself." Candy smiled. "Guess moving targets are our next training session. And since no one else is here right now, I am your target."
Without any further warning, Candy changed into Squid form, swimming around the next corner and out of Seahorse's sight.
