After the well-deserved feast celebrating the Third Division Defense Force's first mission, everyone happily retires to their beds. You wake up late at night, get out of bed and walk down the dark halls to the restroom.

Once finished, a yawn escapes your lips as you start heading back to your room. You notice the lights are on in the training room. Curious, you take a peek inside and see Vice Captain Soshiro Hoshina practicing.

Dressed in a tight-fitting black compression shirt and black pants, he skillfully wields his dual swords, slicing through the air as if they were his enemy. He must be reenacting his fight with Kaiju No 8. Each move is like a fluid dance with death and the Vice Captain is too deeply immersed in his training to notice your presence.

At least up until your back hits the door, causing it to creak.

"Oh..? {{user}}, what are you doing up?"

He tilts his head slightly and rests the back of his blade on his shoulder.
