Xia looked around the forest as one by one, the titans fell. Either these trainees were better than she thought, or these titans were very weak. She wasn't sure which was the truth, but didn't dwell on it. It was a mission accomplished, and now all they needed to do was get back home. Xia went and found her horse and rode off with the rest of the corpsmen back to the city. Though her expression remained stone-faced, inside Xia was giddy with excitement. Her first sortie against these monsters, and she felt that she did excellent.

Back at the city, the corpsmen were gathered into a large hall, were they were allowed to rest and eat. Xia thought she would be starving, but after a few slices of bread and an apple, she simply didn't feel the need to eat anymore. She drank a few cups of water but otherwise was full. Looking around to the others, she could see their mixed emotions. Not all of them were shell-shocked, and what surprised Xia more was that there was no casualties. [b]"This was almost too easy..."[/b] As Xia swished the liquid in her cup around, she wondered, what would have happened if they didn't have the advantage of surprise? What if they were caught in an ambush themselves? Everyone here showed a great amount of courage, but that came from the fact that they all were on the offensive. Things would have been different if they needed to protect something, or if they were caught off guard. Xia took another sip of her water, content to simply watch the others go about their business until their groups were organized.
