Chapter 217: Special Training

The special training was straightforward but intense.

The students were each given weighted rings by their coach, designed to add an extra challenge. The task? Run a total of 50 kilometers alongside seasoned soldiers.

It might sound brutal, but for these students, who were already in top physical shape, it was more of a test of endurance than anything else.

So, with the soldiers in the lead, the students marched confidently into the dimensional training field.

They were brimming with self-assurance, though the soldiers—oddly enough—seemed far less enthusiastic.

The instructors watched the students' eagerness with smirks, secretly hoping the grins would stick around. It had been ages since they'd seen such bright, hopeful faces.

But Arix wasn't buying into the optimism. She'd been through the instructors' tricks before, so she stayed cautious as they began the run.
