Chapter 67: Trials of Resilience and Unity

(Azaria 'Ziya' Point of View)

The days after our intense training session, we decided to implement a special session designed to test not only the boys' physical abilities but also their mental acuity and resilience. I wanted to make sure they were prepared for anything and everything.

"Today's training will be different," I announced as everyone gathered in the courtyard again. The early morning mist hung low, giving the training grounds an almost ethereal feel. "We're going to focus on strategy and adaptability. In real situations, it's not just about being the strongest or the fastest; it's about being the smartest and the most adaptable."

Khali nodded beside me, her expression serious. "We're setting up a series of challenges for you. Each one is designed to test a different skill. Some will be physical, some will be mental. You will need to work together to complete them."
