Arteta had observed Max's routine for 20 days now, and he was extremely dissapointed in the boy.
Max did not train daily with the soldiers, he rarely excercised his body, never bothered with levelling up or practicing his moveset.
The only thing he seemed to do was paperwork and staying inside his office all day as Arteta began to seriously doubt if such a boy could ever be the hero of the frontline battlefield.
Arteta had seen many exceptional men throughout his life and while all those men had some unique quality, they were all extremely disciplined and dedicated towards perfecting their craft.
They trained like a madman day and night to be at the heights they aimed to achieve, and even when they did achieve those heights they continued to train harder for even higher peaks.
However, Max did none of that which casted clouds of doubt in Arteta's mind about the legitimacy of his status as a hero.
