After letting your friends flatter you some more, you tell them that you're going to have a chat with Gerwalta.

Minuette: "We'll be right here!"

While ponies wait for the next match to begin, you walk over to the griffon. You tell her that you've learned a lot from your spar, and that you were wondering if she could help you hone your fighting skills.

Gerwalta: "Unless you want to learn to use a spear, I have nothing to teach you."

You nod, then ask if you get any rewards for winning these fights.

Gerwalta: "This is just practice. If you want prizes, sign up for tonight's tournament at the stadium, north of town."
