Another day, another time to train or work. In N04H's case, of course, it is training, but this time, him and LUK3 began their training in the weapon category as they've talked about before. It's actually the first day they do it too, yet LUK3 seems a bit disappointed even so. For some reason, he expects more from the recruit than before, which sure annoys N04H for good this time.

[LUK3]-Come on, man! Give me all you got! I swear, we will need to switch the weapon if you continue like this!

[N04H]-I'm trying my best, alright??

[LUK3]-Yeah! That's what it bothers me! This is your best??

[N04H]-Oh, come on, LUK3! It's the first day, god dammit! Have some patience with me! I will get better after a while!

[LUK3]-*sigh* I'ma give you a spear at this point...

[N04H]-Shut up!

And it seems like their whole training consists in N04H hitting LUK3 in his arms that form a shield for now. He does seem as he tries his best though, even if LUK3 exaggerates with his affirmations, as he gets exhausted and stops for a little to take a break.

[LUK3]-That's all?? You give up already??

[N04H]-My hands are going to hurt me like shit if I continue this for any longer!

Yet as they argue, the door seems to open at the entrance, as the ruler enters the room to check on the recruit. But He doesn't seem to want to get any closer for now, rather He wants to watch the show alone, just for amusement, leaning on one of the walls and looking at the two boys fighting.

[LUK3]-Hurt you for what?? Your punches are so weak, they only massage my arms! You want to punch strongly? Get your focus here and give all your strength, god dammit!

[N04H]-You know what!? You start to annoy me, LUK3! We've just started! What the hell do you expect me to be??

[LUK3]-Annoy you!?? You want to fight like a true warrior or not, N04H?? You're gonna die in a few seconds in a real mission! I won't always be there to get your butt out of trouble! Investigators work alone, remember??

[N04H]-Oh yeah!? Then what about this punch then!?

[LUK3]-Huh?

Right before he could react, N04H kicks him hard enough below the belt out of anger, to show him who can't fight and defend himself. LUK3 feels it even going through his spine, as he falls to the ground from the pain. Even the Great Leader felt it, but cannot help Himself to not laugh silently about the situation.

[LUK3]-T-That... was a kick... n-not a punch...

[CHE5TER]-...Oh my... I never thought you might get violent, little N04H. Remind me to not get you mad in the future. I was joking when I said what I might do to him if he gets on my nerves again, but you took it literally.

From the wall He was leaning on, He began to come towards them and makes N04H silent. Now that he sees the Great Leader present, he gets a bit embarrassed about his action of kicking his own master that way. Yet CHE5TER doesn't care, as He simply looks at his hand, more exactly his weapon, and takes it to analyse it.
