Alister climbed down the ladder from the boat and made his way among the other soldiers while keeping an eye out for the stable as he did so.
Kojiro looked around, relieved to see the trainees, and was surprised when Alister suddenly turned around and whispered something to him, "Kojiro, wake them up and have them take a bath or something. I will go to the market with a soldier. I will send it as a message when I find a good place."
Kojiro gave Alister a nod as the latter made his way farther away. As Kojiro turned around to confront the group of dozing applicants once more, he scratched the back of his throat by striking the floor of the ship with the sheath of his sword.
He called out, "It's enough."
As soon as Brian heard the sound of the impact, his eyes sprung open in a startled manner. On the other hand, as soon as he felt the sunshine touching his eyes, he hurriedly closed them, and he continued to approach in a cautious manner.
