Maine went back to the training ground, the same time, Richard was able to complete the 15 rounds on the oval. He was able to do it ng walang hirap. Sanay siya mag thread mill, proper breathing lang ang kailangan.
Maine was already change into a comfortable clothes but she made sure na nakataped pa din ng maayos ang mga sugat niya. Nilagyan din niya ng arm band yung braso niya for protection plus para hindi masyadong mahatak at magdugo ulit! She will join the rigorous training, kasi iyon naman talaga ang purpose ng training na ito. Pakiramdam niya medyo nagrelax ang reflexes niya! She won't be stopped by her wounds, daplis lang ito, mas malala pa ang mga tama niya dati. She choose to wear a gray sando over her fatigue pants and black boots...

When she went out of the office, Richard was surprised to see what she is wearing! Uminit ang ulo nito at sinalubong ang dalaga!
"What the hell are you wearing, Captain?" Richard can't help it, napasigaw siya making others to look at their way...
"My training outfit, Lieutenant!ay problema ka dun?" Maine said, frowning... Uminit din ang ulo niya...
"Training outfit yan? E nakasando ka lang?? Tapos rigid training, aakyat, gagapang, dadapa, tatalon tapos yan ang isusuot mo?? You will be a distraction for everyone!" Richard said.
"Lieutenant, I have trust in my team, our team! Hindi sila malisyosong katulad mo and isa pa -- !" Maine said but was stopped by Richard.
"May tiwala ka sa kanila, what about those so-called "umpires" baka hindi ka pa nagsusimula, kung saan na nakarating ang imagination nila!" Richard said, still irritated.
Maine glance around the quadrangle and saw that there are some not part of the team to help facilitate the training.
"Isa pa, kita mo may benda ka pa sa braso, tapos yan lang ang proteksiyon mo for it? Kahit elastic at makapal pa ya , still madudumihan agad yan directly, unlike if you put some clothes above it, may first layer pa for protection!" Richard explained medyo mataas pa rin ang boses!
"I am your Captain, and I implement the rules around here! Kung hindi ka komportable sa rules ko, you are free to go, LIEUTENANT!" Maime said, no longer bothered covering her irritation!
"Then be ready to send yourself home! I will personally drag your father here kahit andiyan pa si Nico! Take it or leave it...!" Richard said still fuming but staring intently on her eyes. Naglaban sila ng tingin and no one wanted to back down, when Nico interrupted them.
"Nicomaine, change your clothing's, may point si Richard, totally exposed ang sugat mo, how will you explain it to Tatay if it got infected? You know a grain of salt when planted at Tatay's mind, he will not stopped unless he really is satisfied with truth!" Nico said, backing up Richard. Maine can't help but back down! She then went inside the office again to change into one of her shirts!
Richard, felt relief upon seeing her going back inside. He walked back towards the group with a pat on his back!
Meanwhile, Maine is fuming and she mentally cursed Richard for blackmailing her! "Makikita mo, babawian kita! You'll never what hit you when that happens!" Ngitngit ni Maine habang nagbibihis.
(Richard - 1 Nicomaine - 0)

Captain Mendoza group themselves into two, so each team will have 8 members. She prepared was the petite so she started the line and since Richard is the tallest, he was on the last person to the line. The umpire have them count 1-2 respectively, and told them to form themselves into two groups based on the number they have been assigned. Upon grouping themselves, Captain Maine Mendoza was teamed up with Paolo, Nico, Richard and the rest of the gang, while Lt. Santos among others was part of the second team!
"Everyone on each team should complete the obstacles. Its a team category, meaning to say you will be responsible to whoever your teammates are! The first to cross the whole obstacle course will have free time tonight until midnight. Meaning to say, the team that will win this will have a chance to go out tonight and have fun. Coz tomorrow will be more rigid and no excuse will be accepted! At ang matatalong tram ang magbabantay ng perimeter buong gabi. Hindi kaila sa inyo na may mga naliligaw pa ding mga rebelde dito from time to time kaya napapasabak pa rin kami, paminsan-minsan! So I will give both team a five minutes to regroup and plan your battle well!" The umpire said. The umpire is a brigadier general of the training camp! So as of this moment, they are all under him and during training position are not considered. They are all but equal!
Maine gathered her team mates as soin as she heard the general dismissed them.
Maine : We are all equal here, apparently, we have two extra baggages. Paolo and Nico are not that well on this courses so medyo dehado tayo. I doubt if we could win this so don't expect too much and prepare yourself for a possible encounter later at night. Are you in or out?
Comrades : I can do this. We can do this... Isa pa, captain! Miss ko na rin ang rigid training and close encounters kaya go tayo.
Maine : Comrades, expect that only five of us will cover the perimeter as a whole coz three of our team mates will be going home tonight! They have prior engagement, will that be alright?
Comrades : Who are those, Captain?
Maine : The two civilian agent and Lt. Faulkerson... So are you game or not?
Comrades : Let's do this... Matagal-tagal na rin yung huling rigid training natin... Isa pa there is always a consequences every time we do this... We are prepared.
Maine : If that is the case, let's start and play by the rules...
