Duties

Eden Military Training Camp, 14 years ago

Bang!

"That's all you got, cadet?!" A well-built middle-aged man bellowed, punching a young man to the ground for the nth time that morning.

The sixteen-year-old Garan groaned and pushed himself up once more, his muscles hardening as he prepared for another attack. 

The older man narrowed his eyes as he watched the young boy's movements.

"You cannot be a proper soldier if you're not strong enough!" 

The huge man snapped into position again. "Come!" He yelled and the boy flinched, similarly entering an aggressive stance.

Determination burning in his azure eyes, the young lad lunged forward. His strikes were swift and precise for his age, but it was lacking in the eyes of the older man, who was grooming him to be the best there was.

Bang!

Another takedown, with the lad immediately jumping back up to stability, darting towards the older man without a beat of delay.
