Bab 11: Warriors-In-Training
Three months passed, the villagers had been committed to building huts, gathering resources, and taking care of the crops and animals.
There seems to be a change today though as Blanc called everyone again for another village meeting in order to assign new tasks for everyone.
"Good day everyone, we have gathered here today because we have some changes to make regarding the assignment of some people in our village."
"In addition, I would like to give you status updates regarding our progress."
Blanc said his opening speech and then continued.
"Thanks to everyone's painstaking efforts and commitment in developing the village, everyone now has a hut accommodation to sleep on and the farms have been growing steadily."
"Currently, we have quite a bit of food surplus so I am excited to announce that we will be training our first ten warriors and Helena will be both their drill master and captain."
After the announcement, it is clear that the villagers are a little excited since a few warriors will be protecting the community from predators, making them feel safer.
It seems like most of the young adult men wanted to be chosen as one of the first ten.
"Once I call your name, come forward. Alexander, Finnegan, Sabre, Leif, Vance, Kael, Zander, Eden, Warren, Greyson. The ten of you will be our first warriors."
Blanc pulled up his list and called the chosen people one by one.
The first ten soon-to-be warriors were visibly excited to be chosen, they secretly swore to do their best and be one of the strongest warriors not only in their country but hopefully in the whole continent.
"After this meeting, the ten of you shall follow Helena and start your training."
"As for the task changes, this will be the new task distribution."
"From 20, we will reduce the farmers to 15 people since the farm is already in full operation."
"Next, The gatherers will be reduced from 15 people to 12 since we currently have a surplus of both firewood and materials. In addition, the accommodations for all 55 of us are now finished."
"The construction team will remain the same 10 people but their new task is to build four large warehouses."
"Lastly, the cooking team will be quite busy as we will have 10 new hungry warriors so we will be increasing their numbers from 5 to 8 people."
"That's all, everyone is dismissed. You may now proceed with your tasks."
After the task distribution and announcement, the new 10 warriors followed Helena excitedly and they soon began their training.
"Alright, as you know, I will be your drill master and captain so you guys will call me captain Helena, understood?!"
"Yes! Captain Helena!"
After hearing the newbies call her captain Helena, a stupidly smug smile appeared on her face and Helena was visibly pumped up by how the newbies address her.
"We will be starting your training by building your foundation which is the lower body and stamina."
"Although I would like to work you to the ground, this is impossible for the first few days as you are all as weak as shit."
"For now, your first training will be jogging. We will do some light jogging for 2 whole hours, you all will follow my pace and no one is allowed to stop or rest during these 2 hours. Begin!"
Helena's small squadron has started their light jogging, the beginners underestimated the jogging until the 40th minute mark came where they started to get tired and there's still 80 more minutes!
"D..damn! I thought this was easy!"
"Me too! what the hell, I'm this weak?"
The newbies began to reflect and some voiced their complaints.
"Hmmph! You overestimate your weakshit selves too much, I knew this would happen and 2 hours is currently your limit. "
"Don't worry though, after a few days, the training will slaughter you so don't rush to your deaths and relax while you still can!" Helena retorted while jogging.
"This is relaxing?" The trainees thought as they were secretly amazed at Helena, although she was lightly sweating, she didn't seem to be short of breath at all.
The trainees were motivated to be as strong as their captain Helena.
After the 2 hours, the newbies were scattered along the training area, sweating and panting hard.
"Ten minutes break, drink water and rest. After ten minutes, we will be doing basic punching for 30 minutes."
Helena commanded.
"T..Ten minutes of rest only?" Alexander, one of the newbies, couldn't help but protest lightly.
"What?! you got a problem with that? How will you weakshits amount to anything if you don't train hard?! Remember, the safety of everyone lies in your hands!" Helena retorted angrily.
"Y..Yes Captain!" Everyone answered.
"Good, now the 10 minutes are over, begin punching! mimic my movements and I will correct your forms."
After 30 minutes, the trainees were given 5 minutes of rest and then they started their basic kick training.
Lunchtime.
*Munch* *Munch* *Gulp* *Munch* *Munch*
The villagers are awed by how much the trainees were eating, they looked like a hungry pack of wolves.
After a while though, everyone got used to it and they also started eating their food.
After lunch, they were given an hour of nap time before they resumed training.
"Hey, Hey, Hey! Weakshits! get up! I will give you ten minutes to prepare, we will then resume training!"
Helena woke up the trainees.
At the training field.
The trainees were currently practicing basic knee and elbow striking movements, as expected, they were clumsy since they have no experience.
What's shocking though is, Helena, who usually is short-tempered, is patiently teaching the newbies the correct forms of striking.
With this, everyone can see that she is really passionate about martial arts and the military and their respect for her is steadily growing.
Even though Helena has a crude way of speaking, she is very refined and disciplined when it comes to martial arts.
Her form, work ethic, skills, physical abilities, almost everything she does is for the improvement of her martial techniques.
"That's it for today's training or else your weak bodies will not be able to train tomorrow if we push it too much. "
"For now, you will craft your own training swords, I will be teaching you how, so make sure to follow what I do closely."
"Since we ended practice early, we got lots of time to finish this today. Do not rush and make sure that you craft a good training sword from these sticks provided to you."
"Watch closely, first you trim this part.. then smooth it out like this.. and then do this."
The trainees were surprised when Helena announced that the practice was over, they thought that they would still be training until evening.
Instead, they would be helping their captain craft some training swords from sticks provided by the gathering team.
Everyone took it slow and barely managed to craft a decent training sword, although it is not perfect, it will do for now.
"Hmm.. looks like everyone at least got a decent training sword."
"Alright this much is enough for today. Dismissed! you may rest or eat or do anything you want for the rest of the day. Remember to rest early though as we have training tomorrow and we will add sword training to the regimen."
Helena dismissed the trainees and thus the first day of training concluded.
