Maland Part 3

Maland's POV

To be the disappointment of General Dorin himself hit me harder than I expected. Was he right? Was seclusion a bad choice for me in the long run. But I didn't know what else to do? I have never fraternized before this day. The idea of bonding with someone was itself too weird for me. But I needed to find a common ground with the others if I were to be in the Military. Maybe not too close, but enough to empathize with them?

Then again, where do I start? That evening I decided to talk to my opponent, to ensure that there were no hard feelings. After all, our recent fight could be a good excuse to talk.Heading to the infirmary, I noticed him sitting on the bed, applying ice packs on his wound. That reminds me, I have to do the same as well if I were to survive the fight the next day.
