After countless hours of training, all the rookies are exhausted. Each one of them is out of breath and on the ground. Loyd looks at them disappointed.
LYD: They have no future.
KMI: Maybe try being a little less harsh sir?
LYD: They would just slack off If I was less harsh. *whistle* Everyone back on their feet, we're going for another round.
The rookies grunt in unison. They all show lack of energy and can't get up on their feet.
LYD: This the the best of our rookies? Komi, I thought I said the best of the best.
KMI: Sorry sir, but these are the best.
LYD: *sigh* I guess they weren't advancing too well as I told Frisk. This is a total disaster. Maybe I should just call off the pla-
*SHOT*
Loyd gets interrupted by a gunshot and turns around to see who was making the noise. It was a lone rookie still training. Loyd walks up to him.
LYD: Hey kid, what's your name?
XSH: Xesh, sir.
LYD: What kind of name is that? What were your parents thinking? They braindead or something?
XSH: My parents died after I was born. I didn't have anyone to name me otherwise.
LYD: (This kid reminds me of him. Could it be that he's grown up and decided to come back?) I see. Then I'll call you Xesh.
XSH: Understood, Master Loyd!
LYD: Please drop the master. Now tell me, why are you training when your fellow rookies are tired?
XSH: To get stronger! We have to defeat the harbinger after all!
LYD: (He thinks he'll be able to defeat them... His hopes are high. The poor kid.)
XSH: Sir Loyd, are you okay?
LYD: Hmm? Oh, yeah.
XSH: Please teach me your ways!
LYD: My ways?
KMI: That's right Loyd. Maybe instead of teaching them fighting by the book, you teach them your way of fighting. After all, they each possess a soul of justice similar to yours.
LYD: I guess I could try.
XSH: Yes!
KMI: *chuckle* Seems you're getting soft sir.
LYD: Shut it Komi. I don't want your bullshit. Everyone line up in front of me. The first lesson will be the usage of your soul with your weapon.
Loyd starts training his soldiers in the usage of their souls' power. Komi observes and takes notes.
