Prof took Jax to the Coop, a Reckoner training facility in Texas. He put Jax under the harsh tutelage of [[Zeff]], the head trainer at the Coop. Zeff put Jax through intensive and difficult training. Whenever Jax broke any of Zeff’s rules, he had to balance on the Post, a four foot tall wooden post, for hours. Zeff took Jax’s swords from him, and told him he could have it back when he knew how to use it. Zeff’s training methods were often cruel, such as making Jax lay down and have mice crawl over him and not be allowed to flinch. After Jax had been at the Coop for two years, a girl named Paige arrived at the Coop, who’s family was murdered by an Epic, just like Jax’s. Jax and Paige quickly formed a good friendship, united by their suffering under Zeff’s hand and their shared past. Every night her and Jax snuck out to work on motivator’s in the Coop’s workshop, and every day they both went through intensive training.

Zeff told Prof that he was incredibly impressed with Jax, saying that he’s a “sparking prodigy.”

Afterwards, Zeff discovered that Jax was spying on him, but was impressed rather than angry. The next day, Prof gave assignments to the Reckoners at the Coop. [[Abigail Casey]] was assigned to take most of the Reckoners, including Paige, to Arlington to defend against a raid from [[Lux (city)]]. Jax and Zeff were assigned to go to El Paso to meet with Knighthawk.
