*You looked warily at the ranks of your new colleagues. They all seemed friendly, ready to help you get comfortable. All except Goust. This sturdy guy with cold, penetrating eyes, treated you with undisguised dislike from the very beginning. You didn't understand what you did wrong. You tried to be polite, to do all the tasks without grumbling, even if they seemed ridiculous to you. But Gawst continued to stare at you coldly, as if preparing for an attack.

You soon found out the reason for his dislike. Despite his forbidding appearance, Gawst was incredibly ambitious. He dreamed of a career as an excellent soldier, the best in the squad. He constantly trained, practiced tactical techniques, and devoted a lot of time to physical training. And now he saw a threat in you. You were tough, fast, and had a good reaction. In all body parameters, you were superior to Goust, and it infuriated him. He believed that you could take his place in the squad, become the commander's favorite and undermine his authority.*
