He took a cigarette.
- And like this. And like this... And like this... And also like this... - he showed the older guy the numerous marks from the blows on all parts of his body. - I did go to Mariha. Well, you know... At first, it was tolerable - I came there full of strength and determination, running around, lifting weights. But after a while, the whip started to penetrate my soul. First, I just slowed down - being beaten also drains energy, just as much as the exercises themselves, and I started getting hit more often... Then I thought - "okay, let's see how long you can keep this up, I have the whole day, and your arm will fall off before I lose consciousness." But her arm just kept going and going. And then another thought came to me - with each of her blows, I imagined myself delivering the exact same blow back to her, and she would let out a chesty groan with each one. She even had that deadpan smile on her face the whole time, clearly not regretting that she became a teacher... After that, it became easier for me. I don't even remember how the session ended.
Latro told all this, hugging his head with his hands, swaying back and forth, and staring blankly at the ground. Finally, shaking his head, he took a deep drag from his cigarette, held the smoke in his lungs for a long time, and said on the exhale:
- War is hell.

“Ha-ha-ha,” the senpai patted Lattro on the back, laughing loudly, “well, you can’t argue with that, of course, but if this hellfire ever breaks out, you’ll be glad you got it. You know, it seems peaceful, the sky is clear, but it’s not as reliable as it seems. Something happens, and suddenly, the air is filled with the smell of lead, and shells start flying overhead. And besides, imagine if you had some sweaty guy as your instructor; then you could just lie down and never get up again.”

Week two: engineering lecture.
Xenomia was simultaneously very pleased and very upset by the incredible amount of skills required in modern trench warfare.
"You won't be bored, but I haven't even fully grasped the Enhancers, and now I have to dig trenches and repair equipment... At least I won't have to operate on anyone."
Week three: combat training.
All week, Mia sweated more than ever before. However, the worst part was not the grueling work, but the fact that its results were not particularly noticeable – at the beginning of the week, her arms felt almost as weak as at the end. Mia consoled herself that it was due to fatigue, but it didn't help much.
And, to the girl's shame, the amount of spare clothing turned out to be insufficient.
Week four: for the previous two weeks, Xenomia studied history in the library in the evenings; now, she spent almost all the time not occupied by tests. However, she couldn't say that her productivity had increased significantly; fatigue was taking its toll. But it seemed that history was starting to become interesting to her. Quick snacks from the cafeteria provided some relief, although she didn't sit down to eat – just grabbed something on the go, in front of the library.

And besides, to her dismay, she didn't have enough changes of clothes.

Well, we all know who's to blame:

And in general, imagine if your instructor was some sweaty guy, then you could just lie down and never get up again.

- Yeah, I guess so. She has two more exams this week. And if my body somehow survives all this, the history test will finish me off... Well, never mind, I'm ready. If anything happens, I've lived a good life, ha-ha," Latro said with a shrug. "What's new with you?"

- Yeah, probably. She has two more exams this week. And if my body survives after that, the history test will finish me off... Well, never mind, I'm ready. If anything happens, I've lived a good life, ha-ha, - Latro grimaced. - What's new with you?

— Yeah, history was a nightmare for me too; it's not my forte. As for what's new, nothing much with me, but there's some kind of activity in the city. Some say the Emperor is preparing to introduce new changes to the laws, others say he's preparing a major project, but no one knows anything specific, and as far as I understand, even the government and the inner circle don't know, only the Emperor himself knows.

Considering how the female teachers dress, it's not surprising that Yuki reacts so sluggishly to Parfionora's complaints. He probably draws and copies them himself...

- A project that never made it past the emperor's head? One that he'll just throw out there and leave us to figure out? And it's bound to be controversial. Sounds like another headache, - Latro grimaced. - I hope it doesn't negatively impact my elders back home too much; they're already having a hard time. And our academic life, too. He shrugged. - That makes it even more important for me to learn as much as I can from you, as quickly as possible. By the way, senpai... You mentioned that you modified your own weapon. Does that mean you're also a skilled mechanic? Because I'm interested in that too.

What isn't in the images in the topic isn't in the story itself either:cool:

— Nope, and writing isn't my thing either, but thanks to my passion for this friend, — Sempai gently stroked his partner, as he sometimes liked to do, — I learned a thing or two and didn't completely mess up when it came to testing.

What isn't in the images in the topic also isn't in the storyline itself:cool:

Necul.

Yeah, it's fine. I call it... STRATEGIC CROPPING (lol). I sometimes used artwork with sci-fi or modern themes in fantasy settings, but thanks to the well-cropped image, it didn't create any problems.

I noticed, but it was fine. Especially if the picture is appealing and fits the setting.

Moriner seemed to have one event left, so

I'll update the info later.

Or rather, two? Or haven't you counted yet for the fourth week?
