Chapitre 18: Chapter 18: Hellish

As soon as the supervisor Dante finished his words, the ground was instantly magically painted to look like a place used for marathon

This will ensure that the trainees will be able to run easier until their body can't move anymore. This is just their first day, how hard would the following months be?

Just thinking of what sort of hell they entered, the trainees can feel some sense of despair sprouting in their hearts

"The government is really stingy, after testing us, they don't even give out any cultivation resources" Keon thought with dissatisfaction. He was really itching to get his hands on those resources!

With a helpless sigh, Keon took the lead and started running in the field. He didn't try to improve the trainees' morale again as that might have negative effects

Keon already took the lead in the fight earlier, if he urges them to run then that would be seen as he is already thinking of himself as the trainees' boss. That is a result he doesn't want to have. Smart people know when to retreat!

Almost instantly, the other trainees followed suit. They don't have a choice but to run, might as well accomplish this task early

After some time, the robots finally arrive and they scanned all the orphans' bodies before sending the results in their watch

Keon's watch lit up and when he checked it, a 3D version of himself appeared. It has some basic information like his height, age, heart rate, etc.

There was also a progress bar and it is currently at 83%

That is Keon's bodily fatigue according to the robots. Of course, that number is not absolute. There are other things that will affect one's bodily functions and if they have high enough willpower, they can still move their bodies despite their fatigue level reaching a hundred percent

Out of all the twenty trainees, only one of them was not running and it was Nath that was put in the side. He was still unconscious

The fight earlier might have been an illusion but the orphans still move their bodies in reality. Explaining why Keon's bodily fatigue is already at 83%

The test took a huge toll on his body and even until now, he was still extremely tired yet he doesn't have a choice but to bring his fatigue level to a whole hundred percent

The trainees run at their own pace. Some stops when they are already too tired and Keon insulted them in his mind. The point of running here is to deplete their stamina, how can they do that if they will rest after getting tired?

However, Keon can't blame them much. Even his own legs were already burning and are urging him to rest. All Keon wants now is to faint so that he can rest. But Keon also wants to hold out for as long as he can

Fainting early will show that his physique is not that great and it might negatively affect the resources he can get in the future. Keon needs to show that he is strong and talented!

Too bad that it was harder to do than say. As of now, Keon's vision is already blurry from the fatigue and lack of oxygen but he needs to steel himself and run for as long as he can

This is a showdown! Those who don't have much ambition won't treat this too seriously but those who are set on reaching the top will always perform with 100% of effort in everything that they are doing!

Run, run, run!

Keon needs to run until both his mind and body can't move any more

"Hey, stupid, your willpower is not as great as mine. Why don't we switch? I guarantee that even if our body can't move anymore, it won't stop running" Kreon offered but Keon immediately declined

Since Keon is not perfectly clear how a personality can gain dominance but from the past's results, letting Kreon take over will give the latter more control

As long as the matter is not too important, Keon will just rely upon himself

Facing a direct refusal, Kreon snorted before keeping his silence again

After a few hours, Keon finally can't hold out any more and he directly passes out

-----

The next day, Keon woke up and found himself in an unknown room. His position was quite high and when he looks at where he is, he found out that he is on top of a double-deck bed

Keon inspected himself and to his surprise, he can't feel any discomfort in his body. It was perfectly fine and doesn't look as if he pushed himself past the limits

While feeling a bit confused, Keon starts descending down the bed and he was in time to see that his other roommates are also just waking up

When Keon looks at his watch, he saw that it was only 3 in the morning and he was surprised that he actually slept for so long

Yesterday, as soon as morning arrives, Keon was already picked up from the orphanage and it didn't even take long before he reached the Kendo Camp

After that, he fought for some time and run for hours. Those things should only last until early in the afternoon yet it was already 3 am when he woke up

To Keon's surprise, the roommate he was sharing the double deck bed is actually Gabe and they even have a woman roommate. It was none other than Mady herself! Seems like, for the Hunters that always faced death, sex and gender doesn't really matter!

Mady is in the other double deck bed and she also occupied the bed on top

As if fate wants to tease them, the door was actually opened up and another familiar face appeared, it was Nath!

"You're finally awake, Keon! Ahh, I want to run with you yesterday and compete but you already pass out when I woke up. I miss out on a lot of things, I only started running when I woke up. Thankfully, my body is still weak at that time and I pass out again in a short time! But it was still a pity, I want to compete with you Keon, you were really great when we were fighting those monsters. You help our team boost morale, that is an amazing thing! "

It was so early in the morning but this Nath is already so talkative, he is giving Keon a bit of a headache

"No, no. I just did what I thought would be the best for all of us" Keon simply answered with a smile

"Oh, before I forgot, here, I brought us all some breakfast. I woke up early and when I checked my watch, I received an email that says we will start training again at 4 am. This camp is really hellish! They asked us to run until we lose consciousness but still want us to train so early. They are like demons! But well, this is also a good thing. The harder the training, the stronger we will be "

Keon's lips twitch a bit. Nath is the most talkative person he had ever met

"Thank you for the trouble" Keon said while taking one of the bags of food and Nath nodded his head before giving one bag each for Mady and Gabe

"Eat up guys! We have a long day ahead of us!" Nath said with a satisfied smile after seeing that all his roommates took the food and started eating

Keon walks to the table with four chairs to sit on it and he started thinking while eating

Mady, Gabe, Nath, these people including Keon are like the rising stars of the trainees yet they were actually assigned in the same room. Does the government want to sow a seed of discord among them so that all four of them will strive to make sure that they will always become stronger than the other three?

Anyways, even if that is the government's plan they are bound to fail. Mady and Gabe are cold people, they won't be petty especially since their strengths are far ahead of the others. Nath is competitive but in a positive way. As for Keon, he wants to be stronger than all of them but not to the point that he will hate them to death

Still, if Keon's hypothesis were correct, this is a good thing. In the mini-test, he was just in 5th place. But now, it seems like he climbed the ranks and took the 4th rank for himself. This is a good sign that he was being acknowledged!

After eating, the four readied themselves. Fortunately, they have a single bathroom in their room. It was quite small but it can do the work. This is already a good treatment as other organizations will surely only have a common washing area for all

In the cabinet that have their names on it, Keon saw a simple gray uniform of a shirt and short that has the logo of the Hunter Department - a soaring eagle. The government hopes that with the help of the Hunter Department, humanity will be able to freely fly in the various realms of the universe again. Hence, the reason why a flying eagle is the logo of the Hunters

To make sure that the trainees will be able to move properly, their uniforms are this simple. The clothes were comfortable to wear and are not that bad

After readying themselves, the four went out of their room at the same time while chatting with each other. Well, it was only Keon and Nath that were talking as their two other roommates were as silent as rocks

Soon, they have arrived at the venue where their training will be held. It was the same open area as before and almost all the orphans are already present since the time is now close to 4 am

When the time lands exactly at 4 am, three people arrive and they are Dante, Misha, and Jam

Jam and Misha were smiling at the trainees but Dante has a dark look on his face. His mood is clearly not good and the trainees gulped a mouthful of saliva

Sure enough, the bad feeling creeping out in their hearts became true

"Yesterday, a lot of you showed how much of a disappointment you are! What did I say yesterday? Run until you can't move your body anymore! Why is it that a lot of you trashes took the liberty to rest? Are you really trying to run until you pass out or merely doing some exercise that you will rest on whenever you want? "

"My orders were very clear, run until your body can't move anymore. Even if your legs gave out or become crippled, I want you all to continue running! How is that a hard thing to do!"

For the second time today, Keon's mouth twitches. Sir, how can you say such things while putting yourself high on moral grounds? This level of shamelessness is really infuriating

"Ah! I don't even want to scold all of you anymore. Why am I even setting my standards too high when all of you are just weak trashes!"

Finally, one of the trainees can't stay silent anymore and he steps out to speak even though he was afraid of the supervisor

"Sir, with all respect but why do you even want us to train our bodies? In the orphanage, we trained our bodies until we turn fifteen since at that age only then can we connect to our Cube World. But now, we already became mystics. Isn't it better to just train with our mystic power instead of doing such outdated exercises?"

That trainee voiced out the thing that most trainees want to say but didn't dare to and they all look at the supervisor while waiting for an answer

The supervisor let out a chuckle and he walks towards the trainee that took a step backward unconsciously due to his imposing aura

"Then are you trash willing to fight with me just using our physical body? Of course, even if I defeat you, all of you might think that I just have more experience and it is natural for me to win. That's why I will let you attack me for a whole minute and I will just dodge or block. After a whole minute, I will inform you that I will attack you. If you can defend from a single attack of mine, that's good, I will reward you handsomely. But if not, better shut your mouth forever!"
