Magnus #1
Rock was a long-time instructor that gained nearly legendary status among the marines in Noth Blue as nearly everyone who served in this ocean could remember being taught by him. Grey-haired even when Magnus himself was just a young recruit, the retired marine was guessing that the old Commander had to be in his late seventies now, but when the two men met over a mug of beer yesterday, he looked barely past his prime, with his short silver hair, circle beard, and heavy musculature, that could nearly rival Magnus himself. The friendship between these two men went beyond the normal relationship between student and teacher, as later, Commander Rock became assigned as a special advisor to Magnus´s division, during a prolonged campaign on which they saved each other´s lives more times than any of them could count. And so, when Rock asked Magnus if he would be willing to give a special class to his students, he couldn´t say no.
Usually, the new recruits were getting their physical training, including hand-to-hand combat ones during the early morning hours, so the white-haired veteran had to leave his room very early, as he wanted to stretch his legs before the lesson and so he walked all the way from the port district of Jreum Island to one of the many small courtyards of B-1.
When he arrived the group of thirty or so recruits was already there, standing in attention in front of Commander Rock, who was just finishing his briefing on today´s tack.
“And here, he is…do you need some time to prepare?”
He asked Magnus who just shook his head. Training these guys wouldn´t be different compared to the lessons he had back home in his dojo.
“No need, we can start right away.”
