When Claude returned to Henry's side, Henry was sitting at his desk, looking through a document concerning the allocation of provisions on the border.
Hearing footsteps, Henry looked up. Seeing Claude, he motioned for him to sit.
"So, how are my new fellow alumni fitting in?" Henry asked.
Claude reported everything he had just seen in the camp. "My lord, the new officers are already fighting with the soldiers."
Henry froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Fighting? Haha, now *that's* an army!"
Claude nodded and continued, "They're challenging the soldiers, proving themselves with their fists. The men were a bit resistant at first, but their attitudes started to change after seeing the new officers' Martial Arts."
Henry laughed and slapped the table, seemingly transported back to his academy days. "When we first entered the academy, the upperclassmen were always bullying us," he recalled. "I put up with it for two months and trained desperately to increase my strength."
