Altair returned to the military academy after three days of resting in his house. He kept saying to his father that he didn't want to return because he had no face to see General Vega Satellarnus. But his father said that no general would like to accept him except General Vega, so he had to go.

Altair grumbled in his heart as he dragged his bag to General Vega's office. He knocked on the door until he heard General's voice, "Come in."

"Ah, you are finally back," General Vega said as he put down the document on his hand. He stood tall in front of Altair and asked, "Cadet Altair Roderick, have you been fully recovered?"

"Yes, sir…"

"And you have reflected on your attitude previously?"

"Yes, sir…"

"Good, now go and join your senior cadets and train with them," General Vega commanded, but Altair didn't budge from his position. He stood still and then said;

"Sir, I don't want to train with them."
