บท 136: There for a Friend

After Ebari departed from the training room that morning, the guilt of what he had just done ate at his conscious all day. There was much work to be done but his mistake wasn't out of his thoughts for long.

Perhaps the best part about not working underneath someone else was that if he didn't feel like doing something, he wouldn't do it.
