Chapter 41: Training Begins

The training seemed to be tough on everyone. Every morning we would be woken up by the sound of two metal pots banging as soon as the sun rose. Head down for breakfast for a meal, then start our training.

The basic training lessons were based outside. It was compulsory for all the new students to participate. The morning training consisted of stamina training, which included running several laps around the field. Then we moved on to strength training, which consisted of lifting, pushing and leg training.

After the first few hours of our fundamentals, we then moved on to weaponry. We were all trained in the basics of every weapon in case anything happened on the battlefield. This included archery, sword and shield, axe-wielding and even spear work.

Bernardo was in charge of overseeing the basic training, he would often comment and advise the students on their technique. Slyvia, Ian, and Gary continued to do well in training while Monk and Kyle were a bit behind the others.

I found that with the strength training I had to tone it down my actual fitness level to try to match everyone around me. I decided to match Dan in skill level so no one would get too suspicious. Although the skill training with weaponry I found useful and eventually got the hang of using all different types of weapons. My dexterity had greatly improved.

After physical training, students were required to spar with each other. Each student was given a rank depending on how they did on the test. I was given the number 300 being ranked the last place on the test, while Gary was given rank 1. This pleased him, as even though he had a black sash it proved to himself that he did well on the test.

Each student would have to spar with the person ranked above them, so I would spar with number 299. We all given chain mail to wear, that had been enchanted for extra protection on top of weighing more than usual. While you were allowed to pick your weapon of choice for sparing. The equipment used were made of wood making it near impossible to deliver a lethal blow.

If you were the beat the person ahead, you would then take their ranking number. The system was made even easier due to the watch items we were given. The watch seemed to be powered by a beast crystal and had a number displayed on it. The number signified your rank and would automatically update once you had defeated your opponent.

The ranking system even worked outside of the training facility were students were encouraged to spar often as long as they used the training equipment which was too blunt to deal a lethal blow.

At the end of the day, everyone bodies were too sore to move from all the training on the first day. Bernardo came forward to talk to the students.

"You all might be thinking that you are at breaking point and you can't go on but worry not for tomorrow will be a rest day. Rest is just as important as training, so even if you think you can train, it will only do you more harm."

This basic training routine continued for three months, in the cycle of training and rest. We still had not had any training related to our colour sashes and was beginning to get a little impatient. I also had asked if we were free yet to go outside, the answer was the same as always. "Not until you have completed your basic training."

I was eager to hunt some magical beasts and get my points up to 100.

After the three months of basic training had passed we had finally begun our special black sash training.

After a normal routine of basic training, Bernardo came to speak to all of us again.

"You all will now take part in your colour rank training. Now that you have built up a basic fitness level you will be able to deal with the special training lessons. These lessons will take part straight after your basic lesson training."

It made sense now why the new students didn't start with basic and special training in the first place. Watching the other students, they struggled to lift a finger after they had finished basic training. But now everyone was used to the demand and strain that was put on their body.

Joe asked for the black sash squires to head the mansion after they had completed their basic training. We met up in a small training room inside the mansion. The room was just big enough to fit all of us in including Joe. The room was dark and dimly lit just when our eyesight was finally getting our bearings the lights turned off in the room.

Joe's voice suddenly could be heard, but it sounded as if it was being projected from all sorts of different directions making it hard to pinpoint his location.

"Here is where your black squire training will begin, in this room, you will learn stealth."

Joe suddenly had put his hands on mine and Gary shoulder which was a shock to us both. before the lights had gone off we were clearly able to see him standing in front of us. If he had moved we should have heard him yet not one of us in the room did.

After Joe's hand had touched me, I activated my dragon eyes skill to see if I could see him. Thankfully unlike Sir K, I was still able to track Joe movements using dragon eyes. I could see Joe creeping around the room talking in a low voice.

"You will also learn how to pick locks, conceal yourself from your enemies and climb heights you have never climbed before."

Joe had provided us with special armour that only the black squire and knights were allowed to wear. The clothing items were all light but well protected while dark in colour to avoid being seen easily.

The first part of the training was about how to make our footsteps silent, Monk was a natural at this while I struggled but not as bad as Gary who didn't seem to understand the concept behind it.

Next, he taught us how to pick locks of all standards of difficulty, using my dragon eyes skill would give me an easy advantage but I decided to try to learn without it. And Joe even taught us how to scale and climb walls, with my extra strength it was a breeze.

We all begin to enjoy the black night training, the techniques I learnt were interesting so I stuck to them. Everyone became very skilful apart from Gary. Every day the frustration would get to him more and more.

Chapter 42: Rankings

After six months of training not much had changed in terms of rankings between students. Gary was still ranked in 1st place while 2nd place was held by some guy from another school.

I didn't bother paying much attention to it because I didn't care about the rankings so much. The only reason why I knew what I did, was because Kyle had become obsessed with them.

He was like our own personal bulletin board. Every time after our special black knight training finished, he would update us on the latest situation with the rankings.

We currently had just finished a session of training and were resting in the accommodation at the mansion. It became routine for us to talk before heading back to our dorms. Each of us was lying down on our bed.

"Did you here Slyvia just beat Peter to take the third spot, everyone talking about how she could be a challenge for you Gary. How our King will turn into a queen." Kyle said with a sparkle in his eyes.

"I'm not too worried, there's only one person who can beat me here anyway." Kyle looked over in my direction, luckily no one noticed and even if they did, I don't think they would take him seriously.

My current ranking went from 300 to 280, I decided to fight students using the black night skills I had learned. The students found it difficult to deal with but at the same time, it was hard to use the skills to their full extent since most of them were meant to be used when hidden or hit kills.

After testing out the new skills I learned, I started focusing on controlling my power. While sparing different students I would control my power output to match theirs and just lose the fight by a hair. This was a very tiring thing to do but helped improve my control greatly.

"I wish I was staying in your monster dorm you have most of the top 10 people in there. Gary ranked 1st, Slyvia 2nd, Ian 5th even Dan and Martha have a good ranking for not being white knights. Heck, even Monk managed to move to number 50."

Monk started to blush a little at the compliment made.

"It's all thanks to the special training we've been doing."

"That useless garbage I haven't been using it and still managed to stay on top," Gary said.

Gary was still reluctant to use the skills we had learnt, he just couldn't get the hang of it and eventually gave up using it.

"It's not useless, just cause you're bad at it doesn't make it useless." Monk had now stood up and was staring at Gary in the face.

I had never seen Monk get like this before, but he had been more dedicated than anyone to the training. It was as if he had become an entirely new person after the training.

Kyle stood up and got in between the two of them.

"Calm down you two, we're all fellow black sashes so we need to stick together."

Gary went to grab the sash that was around his neck and there it towers the floor.

"This useless thing I don't even need it."

While Monk had changed for the better after getting the black sash, Gary was the opposite. Every day he seemed to be getting more and more frustrated at training perhaps, he had hit his boiling point.

"Pick it up," Monk said in a heavy tone.

Monk looked furious at what Gary had just done.

"Make me," Gary replied now pushing against Kyle's hand.

Kyle then looked towards me.

"Ray can you help out here, I don't think I can hold them back any longer.

I had been sitting at my bed the whole time not wanting to get involved. Their business was their business after all. There arguing was annoying me so I came up with a simple suggestion.

"Why don't you two just have a rank battle?"

Kyle's eyes looked as if they were going to pop out of his head as if I had just made the worst suggestion possible.

"Fine tomorrow after basic training well duel and see if you're black knight skills are as good as you say they are."

Kyle was just shaking his head at what just happened as Monk and Gary went back to their dorms.

"Why would you say that?" Kyle said coming up to me.

"Did you forget that you all live together, what are you going to do if they carry on fighting in your room."

"If they carry on doing that I'll step in and teach them both a lesson."

Kyle laughed at the thought.

"I know we're both black knights but me and you are miles from them, I'm ranked at 160, and you're even lower then me, how could you stop then two."

I simply walked off and headed back to the dormitory, I couldn't be bothered to give Kyle his answer and he wouldn't believe me anyway.

I got back to the room later then Gary and Monk. When entering the room the atmosphere was tense between the two of them and they both were keeping silent.

Sylvia came over towards me.

"What happened to those two, they've been like this since they entered the room?"

"They had an argument." I didn't really want to explain much it wasn't my place to say anything.

Just then Dan came barging into the room all excited.

"Is it really true? that Monk and Gary are going to fight tomorrow!?" Dan said.

The whole room was in shock at what they had heard. It wasn't a normal thing for someone of high rank to accept a match with someone several ranks below them unless they had a personal grudge. But that wasn't the only thing, this was between two people that we all knew well.

"From the looks of things, I think you hit the nail on the head," Sylvia said.

Seconds later it seemed like the whole school was talking about the upcoming fight between Gary and Monk and I could only guess who it was that spread the news so fast.

Kyle.
