The ground leveled out as Justin and Kyle started to spar. Justin is giving pointers so that Kyle can fix his form. Justin seemed calm and steady while Kyle was tired and panting.
"Seriously, man, you have been out of the army for how long you're able to do physical combat with ease still? How is that fair?" (Kyle)
"Not like I stopped physical training. I retired from the army eight years ago." (Justin)
Sliding his foot back, Justin maneuvered when Kyle swung his fist forward. Justin moved with ease, throwing Kyle over himself.
Thud
"Oka, you know what? I had a great idea." (Justin)Justin's grin split his face, making him look younger but a little scarier than usual.
Groan.
Kyle rolled over and stood back up, facing Justin and making a face of regret, seeing the expression on Justin's face.
"I don't like that look." (Kyle)
Mark also shuddered.
"Bro, when you get that grin, you look creepier than a serial killer." (Mark)
Justin laughed before his expression returned to normal.
"I was thinking that we could stay out here and train for a while before continuing our travels." (Justin)
"If this involves physical training, then I will say that I will join for endurance and maybe a bit of self-defense. Other than that, I don't plan on getting up close and personal if I can help it." (Anna)
"Wasn't planning on i,t although do you want to learn how to care for your weapon?ns I saw that normally you hand your's off to Greyson when he is tending to his weapons." (Justin)
"Greyson said he found it relaxing. I tried to do it, but sliced open my hand in the process, and some parts I don't have enough grip strength to separate. So it's not that I don't want to, but that's faster and less prone to injuring himself." (Anna)
Anna said that on the spot, but if she were being honest, it rose a deep-seated rage that made me want to bash something in, so for her sanity, she doesn't want to deal with that.
"She tried to bash my head in with the butt of the gun because it pissed her off please dont give her responsibility of gun maintnence I'd rather keep my head." (Greyson)
"Ah, okay then." (Justin)
Justin swerved around that subject like a four-wheeler that turned into the wrong lane.
They were all tired by the end of the day, as the sun started to set. Anna used her auto build ability to alter the ground around them to start the fire for the fire pit. With a groan, the ground compacted and formed a compressed circle in the ground as she began to set up everything to make food. Justin and the others were doing the finishing touches to the small building they were constructing for the night's rest.
Anna pulled out a couple of cans of food and tossed some meat into the pan, searing the meat in oil and seasoning. Anna opened the cans of vegetables while stirring the meat as the heat of the fire allowed the food to cook. It didn't take long to make the meal, so Anna pulled out dishes to let the others scoop up their food.
