The free days were finally over, and it was time for basic training. The academy's schedule for freshmen was a four-day training, a free day, a day for hunting trips, and another free day.
The last free day was supposed to be free, but Eric and the others were on detention, so it wasn't a free day for them.
Gary complained the most. He suffered the most from the detention as he kept reliving the subtle taunts he received from Borus, about his father's sword.
Silver claimed the heat had damaged one or two of his internal organs. He even went to the hospital before which the old man chased him away with guards.
Only Bart felt refreshed about the detention. He even joked about looking for trouble so he could be served another round of detention.
Eric on the other hand had found the Blacksmith man, Borus, entertaining. His brusque character could have been because he was always alone in the heat, forging weapons all day long.
