After watching over Ghost's training for a little while, Lucius took his rest, leaving the losing squad from Alpha's little race to take the first watch.

He woke up early the following day and decided to do his regular morning training routine. However, it turned out to be anything π£πΆπ΅ regular.
For one, it was as if he had to start all over from scratch. Since he could not stand up straight for more than a few seconds, he first had to practice stability before he could even dream of moving on to martial arts practice. However, even this proved to be futile, as his tail simply would not allow it.
Realizing that he would get nowhere without mastering control over his tail, he decided to try just that. Unfortunately, after several failed attempts, he was beginning to think that its sole purpose in life was to mock him, as it seemed to do the exact opposite of whatever he wanted it to.
