62 Congratulations

Over the next few days. An unheard-of phenomenon occurred. The familiar sight of Rui Quarrier spending almost every ounce of his time training was nowhere to be seen.

The instructors and the other Explorer students had all grown used to seeing Rui training somewhere or the other. Thus, when he didn't show up for almost forty-eight hours, they grew curious. What could possibly cause this training junkie of an Explorer to ditch training? It's not that he had never taken breaks, but never two days straight.

"He's just been sitting around with an intense expression, super absorbed into his thoughts, but he seems fine." Cara, his roommate, told them.

The instructors sighed in relief; they had grown worried that his insane training schedule in the past five months since he joined the Academy had finally taken its toll. Of course, this possibility still existed, but at the very least there was no serious affliction.
