There, he competes against the best pilots in the service, including a cool and collected rival, for the title of top graduate. His arrogant, lone-wolf attitude is challenged by a talented civilian instructor and the memory of his father's own legacy, forcing him to confront his fears and learn the true meaning of teamwork.
