章 921: Learning Lessons

Y'know, I don't even know whether we were still heading onto the training site or if this was the training now. 

Maybe, I've been hoodwinked; a last minute plot twist, and all of this was just to build up my endurance or something. I can see that happening. Sounds like the type of classic hero's journey experience that the main protagonist must undertake to grow and develop. 

Not that I have that mantle, nor even want it… believe me.

And if not, if I'm wrong, well then, I'm not sure I'd last long enough for the actual lesson itself anyway. 

This was supposed to be a hike. Yet every step further felt more like a voyage through an endless sea of green, and, oh, I'm sinking. 

Yeah, I'm really sinking…

Something felt different about it all now.
