The training battle goes on and on. The exhaustion of the Guide’s strength is already seen by both the Captain and the rest of the crew. No one on the crew has so far been subjected to such exercises by the Source. Even the greatest Captains of this ship did not undergo such hard training.
And then, suddenly, an unexpected visitor arrives at the training field. He doesn’t so much arrive as reveal his constant presence with all these exercises. Presence as the most outstanding of masters and teachers. This is Admiral Master, who has come to teach the last lesson in this stage of commando training for special tasks. The final lesson was to show our heroine that, however, there was someone before her who went through all these stages of training just like her. He did it masterfully, knowing the hardships, suffering and necessity of full sacrifice. But he also knew the purpose of his mission, its overriding value and need. The goal of the mission was to rescue, among other things, the Chairwoman. And that was her last lesson. The former Admiral Master’s mission was to become the mission of our young cadet. She was to take the way of rescuing people as used by the Admiral Master, remembering that this way she was saved.

And the next step should be our identical attitude toward others. Full dedication is hard, but you have to start if only with small things. Through small sacrifices and gestures, we prepare ourselves for important sacrifices in the hour of trial. What are the little things? E.g., let’s give up dinner today, clean up after dinner, make breakfast. Let’s do one or all of these things. Let’s take the first step of sacrifice for others.
