Escalation

One month had passed since Rain began to train the soldiers that were sent as reinforcements, and much to his absolute surprise, no one gave up… they truly were devoted to becoming stronger and following Rain's training regimen.

Until this point, he considered that perhaps some of them could become enemies in the future, but it was hard to imagine that Joanis would predict such a scenario where Rain would train others. They would serve well for the next step…

"I am going to talk with Branden and Esmeralda. What about Gramps?" Rain asked.

"He will arrive as soon as you go to the port town. He will have the details on the thighs on his end," Seara said.

"All right, keep those guys training hard while I am away. I might take a bit longer to return this time," Rain said.
