It has been weeks since the trip to Osaka and training has been going well for Aubrey and Rhyland. With Viktor Faust's spartan training, the pair has experienced unprecedented improvements on their physical and mental prowess. Specifically, Rhyland has become even more adept at using compulsion. He now has very little difficulty compelling other werewolves, a feat that recently became achievable by using Dimitri and Viktor as guinea pigs. Of course, this was an ability that wasn't to be used often as it utilizes a lot of energy. But he was glad that he can now rely on this to save his team in crucial situations.
