Trails of Cold Steel IV
Wayne and Jessica had been investigating Nortia. They return and meet with Rean's Party in Leeves, using the closed branch of Neinvalli. he is asked to contact the Merkabah and acts as back up.
Wayne spends more practising the same moves repeatedly in hopes of improvement. He states that others always give him the same advice but he needs to find his own style. Rean notices this when spotting him training with Jessica Schleiden and brings in Laura S. Arseid, Fie Claussell and Duvalie to help them train. Through this extra session, he is taught what his shortcomings are and next steps and also to loosen up a little in combat. Wayne states after the fight that a barrier holding him back is gone. Wayne is part of the crew on the Courageous II and asks Machias for advice.
The swimming club later has a chance to reunite in Mishelam. He prays to Aidos for the courage to face the thrill of the rides.
Trails into Reverie
Wayne is present at the Imperial Wedding Tasting session and the Branch Campus Academy festival where he is holding a 'muscle seminar'. He initially has a captivated audience of young boys, but after being asked if muscles attract girls, by chance they spot some of the more bishonen types attracting female attention and deduce that 'muscles are the enemy' and run off, despite Wayne's protests and pleas. He comes to the conclusion that while he hasn't betrayed muscles, muscles have betrayed humanity.
