Favorite Course: Kuri

Kuri’s favorite class, surprisingly enough, is Combat Training! You really wouldn’t have thought that, given just how lazy the Joltik normally is, but it was his absolute favorite class to attend during his time in the Blackmyre Knighthood Academy. The ‘incident’ hadn’t happened yet, and so according to the stories Kuri was actually a very active, lively bug that took everything quite seriously. Learning to use all of his moves for real life situations was an essential part of learning how to properly be a guard, and it also meant that it could double as a method to fight off anyone bold enough to try and pick on his brother Kreid.

That being said, Combat Training was always a bit difficult for Kuri, thanks to his size versus many of the other pokemon that were enrolled in his year. As such, Kuri often had to sit out of actual demonstrations-- a fact that frustrated him back then, but likely makes his laid back, lazier self happy these days. On the bright side, it meant that Kuri had a lot of time to learn more about improving his own combat style, and most of his fellow students at the academy learned the hard way that he earned his A+ in that class for a reason even if he never had to do a mock spar.
