In previous entries, we left Marcos coming to terms with failing the test to become a paratrooper. Honestly, it didn’t affect him all that much. Just a few weeks later, he had almost forgotten about it, and his level of silliness had gone from a 1 to a 2 out of 5.

A reasonable amount of time after failing, Marcos decided to take a break. This was about three weeks after the exam, and he spent a couple of months doing absolutely nothing. During that time, he remained single.

With so much free time on his hands, he practically lived at the gym, spending day and night there.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group was busy with their respective classes and only had free time on weekends.

Around this time, they started visiting a nearby town where Lucas had a few friends. The arrival of the group of five there marked the beginning of what I’ll call The Three Towers Saga.
