Adrian stepped over the corpse of the nearest wolf, his shoes making no sound.
Marion didn't wait for him.
The moment Adrian gave his answer, he had already started walking with both his hands tucked behind his back
He was completely relaxed, as if they hadn't just cleared out a pack of corrupted beasts.
"Try to keep up," Marion said lightly, though he didn't bother looking back.
Adrian followed without a word with Noctis also silently appearing on his head and looking at Marion's retreating.
The ruins stretched out endlessly ahead of them, but they continued walking forward for a while.
"You're not part of the military are you?" Marion asked after they walked for a while.
"No," Adrian answered, "we're second years from the Imperial Spirit Academy sent to the military for a training exercise."
"I see," Marion nodded in understanding before he paused and asked again, "Isn't the second year too early? I could've sworn that you only do this exercise in your final year."
