Four months passed rather quickly for Mars, he thought, ate, madeitated and sometimes he would sleep. Now he was standing on the platform waiting for the train that would take them to the end of the continent, 78 was standing next to him, she was unusually quiet, most likely she was sad that she would not see her friends from the academy again.
There had been a grand goodbye party the day before, all the teachers and most of the students he had educated in the way of the sword had attended and Mars had a smile on his face the entire night, but alas now it was time for him to leave, he said his final goodbyes at the gates of the academy.
Mars, dense as he had offered her to stay at the academy while he left with a vague promise to come get her in the future, this got him beat up quite badly by a crying 78, thus he had to promise never to leave her behind again.
