Soon, no one was left eating in the training room; instead, they were reading and sharing information.
The books they had been sent contained a wide range of information, but it was organized according to their different learning levels.
Elliot and, to some extent, Rich were way behind in this area because they hadn't gone to an academy. They lacked in-depth knowledge of many subjects and had to read materials that were somewhat different from those of the others.
From basic topics in various subjects to support material for high-risk situations, they had to read extensively about survival and other relevant topics to learn about multiple subjects.
This was very beneficial for Elliot, as he had never studied these subjects when he was younger. Although he enjoyed reading, he didn't have much material available.
After a few hours of intensive reading, the teachers and Steward returned to discuss strategies with those who had the most knowledge.
