The floor of this barrack of Legion 88 was very clean. It was a shame someone like Benji would be walking upon these shining tiles. It wasn't as if his shoes were dirty. He just…didn't belong here. Or so he felt.
'How am I gonna be even a simple Legionnaire skyguard with that mindset?' he told himself. 'With everything he did two days back…I can't disrespect Ryuzio's work like this.' The young Volant was the only reason he stood inside the barrack. A place where skyguards belonged.
Tall, strong, sturdy. He wasn't any of that.
Benji's expression dimmed as he set his jaw. 'I'm not tough like Ryuzio…' he thought. 'But I'll never quit! I'll keep trying until I become tougher. Like he announces his dream so proudly, I'm gonna do the same! Listen carefully, everyone, I'm gonna be a grand skymaster!' He exhaled, suddenly feeling light. 'I wonder how much better it feels to shout that out.' He felt a slap on his back.
