In his time in the military, Adalhard Jaeger had never experienced the heart-pounding adrenalin charge of actual combat. He had experienced simulated combat training exercises as a member of the German Army Special Forces, Kommando Spezialkräfte, where he was expertly trained on how to kill, quickly and effectively. He learned how to kill with a gun, a knife, and with his bare hands, should he find himself in a situation where he no longer had the advantage of a weapon. All the training in the world, however, no matter how expertly administered, could prepare one for the experience of actual combat. The act of killing someone, regardless of the degree of justification, should there in fact be any justification, simply did not compare to the real thing.
For Adalhard, killing was a buzz
