He had spent very little time in his room since the orientation the previous day, though he was grateful that for the time being he had the room to himself. Instead he had taken to the second part of their instructions with vigor. The moment orientation was completed, Cedric had headed out toward the beach and began training. He alternated between the sandy shores and submerging himself beneath the waves. Since there was a substantial difference in his speed between the two he had to make sure to split his time evenly while training. 

Once the sun began to set he ended his training session. Under normal circumstances he would have continued for a couple more hours, but due to the fact that they were told to expect a mission in a few days time he had decided that he didn’t want to risk exhausting himself. Instead he watched the sunset, a slight smile on his face. It wasn’t until night had completely engulfed the beach that he made his way back to his room to sleep.

The messenger found him the following morning, just as he had completed the first of his land based exercises. He was pleased that they would be heading out sooner than anticipated, and interested in seeing who his fellow Ensigns were, but he couldn’t help but be disappointed that they hadn’t waited until he had finished the set. Still he gave the man an affirmative nod and watched as the messenger raced off into the distance. 

Since he had been called to action before he could begin his water exercises he decided that to make up for it, at least in part, he would make his way to the Eastern Port via the ocean. His chosen method also came with the benefit that he would reach his destination sooner than if he had walked there. Fully submerged he easily outpaced his land speed. Without any further delay he slid into the waves, virtually disappearing from sight. 

His underwater journey was rather uneventful and before he knew it he had arrived at the location they were to meet Captain Salamanca. For just a moment he let himself enjoy being surrounded by the ocean before surfacing and pulling himself onto the pier. One of the other Ensigns had already arrived, a young woman with brilliant violet eyes, and shortly following his appearance another guest popped out of the sea. After letting the latter shake herself free of some of the water clinging to her Cedric approached the pair.
