Morning, 6 pm
As usual, the day began. Even though it was the day of his departure, the old man didn't have any plan to leave them until the last moment.
Max got out of his blanket and got fresh before changing into his tracksuit and getting out for his usual training.
Ryan and Vin too followed along as physical training and meditation were important for Blacksmiths.
The morning training and meditation had become an essential part of Max's life all along.
" Did you think about the gift?", Max asked as he slowed down his pace to match with the other two.
" No..", Ryan shook his head.
" How about we give him something made by us? We can all work together to make it." Vin suggested.
" Sounds good to me.", Max replied.
" Ok, then let's do it.", Ryan too nodded.
" Fine, I will start as soon as we get back.", Vin replied in excitement.
" But, we have the Duel today. Aren't you coming?", Max asked in surprise.
" Ahh!! ...I...um..forgot about it.", Vin smiled wryly.
