As Kian walked to his quarters with Xiaoshu, he asked:
"Did you know private Bei before today?"
Kian answered:
"I didn't. For some reason, Shaotian has it out for me."
Xiaoshu said:
"You should call him private Bei, I feel it will make him angrier if you don't."
Kian smiled.
"I don't have to, since I'm just a recruit right now. I know every rule of Bei Academy."
Xiaoshu smiled and asked:
"Aren't you afraid of him?"
Kian said:
"It's true that his spiritual force is overwhelming. I don't like it, it makes me feel uncomfortable. But I'm more impulsive than scared, so I tend to say things others wouldn't."
Xiaoshu smiled and said:
"I'll help you with that."
Kian smiled.
"Deal."
When they reached their quarters, Kian asked:
"Do you want to meet in the simulation room in 30 minutes to train?"
Xiaoshu nodded.
"I'll knock on your door in 30."
"Okay."
