In the end, Hazel emerged victorious once again, much to Laurent's chagrin.

Later that day, Hazel received a call from his caretaker, Lavoie Bellecourt, who was checking on his progress. As Hazel was impaling a target with a bayonet knife, his trainer, Michael Adam, approached him and congratulated him on his performance. Michael often rewarded his trainees with a golden bayonet knife for exceptional performance. Hazel was pleased to receive the recognition, but he remained focused on his mission to fight against the Nazis and their racist beliefs.

During parachute training, Hazel met Claudius Anderton, who he recognized as his blood brother from their first deadly training in 1938.
