Elijah reached his office and saw the four second-year recruits waiting for him nervously. He opened the door and gestured for them to enter. They followed him obediently, not daring to look him in the eye. Elijah sat down at his desk and looked at them coldly.
"So, you four think you can bully the first-year recruits and get away with it?" Elijah asked in a stern voice.
"No, sir, we are sorry, sir. We didn't know that one of them was your brother, sir. Please forgive us, sir." Hunk pleaded, hoping to appease Elijah.
"Sorry? Do you think saying sorry will make up for what you did? You beat up two innocent recruits who came asking of me. You injured them so badly that they had to be taken to the infirmary. You violated the rules of the academy. You have disgraced yourselves. And you expect me to forgive you?" Elijah said, raising his voice.
