Bab 5: Training, he say
After the initial virtual room experience, we were taken by the teacher to the open ground.
"We will be training. This will be the final activity or lesson of this day."
"Yes sir!" Everybody's eyes shine when they heard the word training, wondering what they will do. I was also somewhat expecting.
*********
Training, he said.
As one saying has gone, don't expect anything, since expectations are always destroyed. My expectation is also broken into millions of pieces that even a strong glue can't stick.
Running in the field while huffing and puffing, sweat trickled down my cheeks. In front of me were the students that also ran with tired expressions on their faces.
Training... It isn't anything more than a regular PE exercise. It's only that it is more extreme! Running 20 laps of the 350m square ground.
I complained in my heart as I ran, I cursed the teacher.
"The training may sound extreme, but it is for you to build stamina! Run, run like your life depends on it!"
As the teacher shouted, I couldn't help but glare at him, but he ignored my glare.
Swish!
A dazzling figure just passed by me. Miya ran with an emotionless expression. Wearing a t-shirt and short pants, her slender legs were revealed.
She seemed slim. She looked frail like she would break on touch, but her legs moved so fast. She had already surpassed me by 2 laps. This will be 3rd maybe.
***********-------------------****************
"Ha! Ha!"
Laying on the ground was me and my classmates. We all breathe roughly. The only person standing may be Miya, as she was drinking water from her water bottle.
Some healthy students were standing and unfazed by this running, but most of us the indoor people suffered like hell.
I had never run for like 10 minutes, and I ran like 30 minutes today...
The teacher looked at us and swayed his hands disappointed, I guess. He left us and walked his way. A loud bell rang in the academy which signaled the end of the day.
My first day went crazy, I don't know how to describe it... After returning to my room, which is a room in the dorm, I lay on my bed looking at the ceiling.
The white ceiling was unfamiliar, and so was the soft comfy bed. One study desk, one wardrobe, and a bookshelf made me feel like this room is huge.
I was used to a one-room apartment, with minimum furniture. I am an orphan and barely manage my life doing a part-time job.
Studying wasn't the job for me, and when I awaken my superpower, it was graded F. I couldn't describe the feeling when I got into trouble day by day.
Every day I was in despair, and living felt like hell. One time, I nearly hang myself to death, but if I had that much courage, I could simply live. This gave me the motivation to survive.
The cruel world, heroes and villains, good and evil, they all are nothing of my business. I came here, not to be a superhero, but to get shelter and food.
I close my eyes, and the world dissolved into darkness. The empty feeling in my heart and the loneliness I felt, all disappeared as I fell into a deep slumber.
The next day, I got overwhelmed by the sleep.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The alarm clock on my side rang and tried to wake me. I felt the urge to destroy it and throw it in the trash, I just wanted to sleep.
Sleep, sleep and sleep, it is all that I want. Why is life so hard?!
With bloody red eyes, I woke up. I walked to the bathroom and looked at my face.
Pale, with red eyes and white skin, I didn't look worse than a vampire. If I had long teeth, I could suck blood too.
Washing my face, I threw all my thoughts. I took a short shower and freshen myself up. I walked to the kitchen and cook some food.
After eating, I ran to the class.
*********
The class went normally. As today went the same as yesterday. Lecture, training, and virtual world experience.
I got 500 points today, and it seems next week, we will get the special assignment.
And so, for a week, the day went normally and uneventfully. Time flow like a river. I was a loner, without any friends.
It was hard for me to adapt here since I am like a cat that only thrives to survive. Well, it wasn't anything new, since I had felt these things daily. Previously, I only focused on work, and now I only focus on living.
Days are boring, and living in hell, surviving feels like hard work and I don't know what to do.
....
Sleeping, I forget everything. On Friday, the real thing began!
