Trainees from the Order

There was something strange going on with the current selection of trainees from the Order of the Heavenly Knights. Usually, these kids would be exhausted beyond belief at the end of their training sessions, with some ending up being carried back to their dorms from the intense muscle spasms they incurred throughout the day.

However, some of the instructors realized that these days, the new trainees had been quite energetic, even after making them run laps around the grounds two times the normal amount. They even looked more excited as the eighth candle had been extinguished, signaling their time for rest.

Usually, the instructors wouldn't care about the dealings of the children after training, but they realized that those who had been showing strange behaviors were the ones who were performing quite well in the physical tests.
