It had only been a few days since Hito left to return to his village, but I could already feel his absence. I missed puking alongside him after running 5,000 laps, I missed knocking each other out during sparring sessions, and most of all I missed both of us being punished after I tried saving his ass from his shenanigans.
Training just wasn't the same without him.
Still, I smiled. Because he had accomplished what it felt like few people could. He graduated from the Aisaran Academy, which was undoubtedly one of the best in the country. Looking around at my fellow comrades, I knew that most of us would be able to join at least a high-ranking infantry squad; if not the Elite ranks themselves.
Just the battle-hardened faces we wore showed our discipline, our drive, our prowess, against the forces of evils. We undoubtedly earned our reputation as one of the greatest academies in all 4 kingdoms.
