April 29th Location: Zaunite Temporary Military Barracks, downtown Zaun
The mist upon Girard's breath quickly faded away as it left his mouth, his icy aura hardly extending a few inches from his person in the warm spring air. The newest batch of recruits should be arriving presently... Including two champions. This should prove most interesting, and a definite benchmark for the others - should they prove themselves physically capable.
Girard smiled to himself as he stood about the ramshackle yet orderly 'tent city' that was the temporary barracks. In essence, a Noxian military camp had been moved into one of the few open spaces of Zaun and partially assimilated what would soon become a more permanent military structure; one which, at the moment, was nothing save for some scaffolding over an abandoned warehouse. Let it not be said that Noxians were not resourceful, however; the warehouse was quickly shaping up into an impressive military compound, both inside and out, ready to be filled with 'new boots'.

Vi walked up to the boot camp, her gauntlets already on and roaring for action. People who would normally recognize her instantly would have some difficulty today; she hadn't dyed her hair in a while, and it was starting to go back to its dirty blonde self, covering a good half of her head. Giving a stretch, she walked down the aisles of the tent city, making her way to Girard.
"Oi, you the boss around here? Vi reporting for duty." She didn't bother saluting just yet; she didn't even know if he was in charge or not. Instead, she just adopted a comfortable pose, leaning on her hip nonchalantly.
Adalwolfa entered to place she wasn’t all that pumped up…she was rather sleepy from her night with Mel. She then saw Vi so she went to say hi “Yo” she said giving her a playful slap in the back and then noticing her hair “Changing look? Goes well with you, you look…more “sharp””

Zac had found himself at the boot camp and scanned his surroundings, "So this is the next level of my career, the military" he thought to himself.
Noticing the woman he fought a few weeks back known as Adalwolfa he waved to her and gave her a grin. "I didn't know you were in the military, good to see ya again."
Adal looked at Zac her smile was kind of weird but sincere “It is better than staying a street urchin my whole life…I just joined and I think you did to so…we are the new recruits.”

"You are most correct, Adalwolfa." Girard replied, having walked up to the recruits as they were talking. "And your training begins now." Girard turned his head, now addressing the general collection of recruits instead of any particular individual. "RECRUITS! Boots on the footprints, DOUBLE TIME!" Girard barked. Sure enough, there were several circular cobblestones, each with a pair of footprints on them, set up in several lines just in front of the camp's entrance. Slightly shocked by Girard's sudden order, the gathered Zaunites collected their belongings and darted to find a pair of footprints to stand on.
Adalwolfa’s quick reflexes kicked in at the sudden stimulus and she jumped into action quickly fading a pair of footprint on witch stand on and flawlessly putting herself in position.

Vi smiled at Adal as she commented on her hair. "Aw, thanks. I figured why bother? Don't need to keep up appearances as much." To Zac's appearance, she merely gave a nod. They didn't really talk much outside of the fields. Maybe they'd get to know each other eventually, though.
When Girard gave them the commands, Vi merely shrugged. "Whatever you say, boss man." She took a few steps nonchalantly forwards to the stones, standing on one and just giving Girard a glare, daring him to correct her posture. May as well make it clear as soon as possible that she wouldn't be just another recruit for him.

As Girard barked his order Zac immediately got to looking for a set of footprints, running over to a pair, although having to morph his feet a bit to fit in them. 'the perks of being me' he thought to himself

Once everyone had stood upon a pair of footprints, Girard spoke once more. "You are among the first few soldiers to stand upon those footprints, the first of many amongst Zaun's fledgling military. As such, you will become the shining examples of what can result from the glorious union between Noxus and Zaun."
Girard began to pace slightly as he delivered this speech. "Know, that the task ahead will be no easy one. You will be worked to your limits - and beyond them. You will hurt. You will bleed. But, if you all are half the individuals I believe you to be, you will survive to see your full potential. Just as steel is tempered by scalding flame, you will pass through these refining fires and come out on the other end stronger for it. And it is my job to either temper your resolve or cast you aside like chaff. "
Girard now turned back towards the group. "I will not tolerate weakness, for a single weak link in the unit can infect others near it. That is unacceptable. We are strong, and strength means survival. The strong survive, and overcome."
Girard raised his fist in the air, and gave Noxus' rallying cry, followed soon after by the other already-initiated recruits milling about the complex:
“Neat discourse” Adal thought earing Laurentine talking about how the strong survive and the weak is cast aside he…the story of her life. Maybe too much Noxian proudness in a Zaunite boot camp? Well those were details that she was there to collect. She simply stood there earing such an annoying discourse as she pretended to be swayed by it.

Vi sighed, making motions for Girard to carry on with it. He was rather long winded, and extremely boring. In fact, she almost drifted off once or twice. But she managed to keep a straight face long enough to lose it when he turned his back. Eventually, though, when the speech was over, she gave a half-ass nod and yawned. "Great, great. Do we get to do the blood-and-sweat stuff now?" she called out to him.

Zac simply stood silently and absorbed Laurentines words, he was here determined to help change Zaun for the better and now his solo career was over for the moment, at this point all he could do was have faith in the strength of his home and do his best.

Girard ignored Vi's comment. She would be straightened out soon enough. "Alright, enough of me talking. Let's start with a run, hm? Everyone, toss your stuff in a pile and get moving!" Girard waited for the majority of recruits to lose their baggage before taking off at a brisk jog, the recruits following slightly behind them as they exited the complex. Several, less well-conditioned individuals started to fall behind, but they were quickly 'nudged' forward by a pair of lieutennatns who jogged at the rear.

Zac simply did what Girard ordered next, casually taking off his unusually large backpack he simply threw his backpack a fair distance away from their current location and jogged after the general at a decent pace.
