Time passed quickly. Without paying much attention, the time to set out was almost upon them. The few of them had long since finished handing over their tasks, and even Zagi, who usually ran wild outside, had returned, even engaging in a few sparring matches for actual combat.
Baturu, Jili, Zoro, and Zagi joined forces to fight Tulu several times, with the victories and defeats evenly split. "Tulu, how did you train to get this kind of strength? We were all chosen by Lord at the same time, so how come you're so strong? Zagi was modified by Lord alone, so it's understandable that he's strong, but what's your excuse?" Jili, Zoro, and Baturu couldn't figure it out.
"Zoro, look at what you're saying," Tulu replied. "You guys don't spend time honing your strength, and that's none of my damn business! Who can you blame for being weak? Aside from executing missions, I train in the Dark Land every single day, and that hasn't changed all these years. If I'm not strong, who is? What about you guys? If either of you had put in even half the effort I have, your strength wouldn't be this pathetic."
