Artemis couldn’t help but raise his eye brows, “Hmm, really?” Ethelyn was telling him no one really impressed and yet she cared enough to give him some actual names, “Two names? Good group then?” he then turned his attention to the company and cleared his throat only for Daniel to pull him down from his premature announcement.

“Polaris is the one I was mentioning earlier sir,” Daniel leaned in so that only the officers nearby could hear him, “He’s the one hiding something under his collar… I’m not sure why but it seems to me that he’s got something he doesn’t’ want out in the open…”

Artemis nodded in gratitude for the information to his LT and then stood straight again. Polaris, eh? he cleared his throat again but this time spoke, “Alright kiddies! Hope you’ve had fun relaxing, because this is where the real work begins!” he took out his PDA and fumbled with it for a few moments before looking up and making a swiping motion with it, all the cadets PDAs dinged with a new message, in it was once again more numbers. “Time for you Cadets to feel the real military combat you have come here to learn. Those numbers correspond with another number in the company, randomly chosen. You will pair up, and you will have a sparring match. Now normally that would be it, but due to the Rite I must add that if BOTH parties agree these can count as challenges.”

Caspian glanced at hismessage, instead of a number there was a word, Me, and his eyes expanded. Random my ass!

Daniel glanced at his and called out, “Number 28, whose the lucky winner!?”
