Three months after the Duel Cage incident.
A temporary Duel Cage stood in the Seventh Company's training hall.
Ever since that farce of a duel, Blanca had completely changed Hades's training schedule.
Every morning, Hades underwent specialized training and instruction with the veterans. In the afternoons, he began live combat drills.
Not only did the Seventh Company's veterans line up to challenge Hades one-on-one, veterans from other Companies also came to take part in the duels.
The Seventh Company's Apothecary stood guard beside the Duel Cage, checking on Hades whenever he collapsed from exhaustion.

Unlike ordinary two-man duels, the Terran-born veterans discovered that when fighting Hades, he could rapidly formulate attack strategies based on their strengths and weaknesses.
