Training Begins (Part 1)
Ai Bo watched the group leave with his mouth agape. The vicious reminder of the leader lingered in his ears.
"Heavens! You can't play with people like this. You're demons.”Abel let out a wail and ran in the direction where everyone had left with a strong resentment.
As he stared at the people who had already become dots in his eyes, Abel finally ran to the training ground. By the time he reached Winst, he couldn't hold on any longer. Why did that damned Babasa choose such a far place? Let alone running with weights, even the usual Abel couldn't run within half an hour.
Abel, who was drenched in sweat, lay on the ground and didn't get up. He panted heavily. He didn't expect that he could really persevere. He sprinted all the way to catch up with the others. At the end, he almost fainted. He could only subconsciously run with the others.
A huge water ball appeared out of thin air and landed on Abel's body. However, it did not dissipate. It only wrapped around Abel's head. This was the water element that Catherine had gathered. She had wrapped it around Abel to prevent him from getting dehydrated from excessive exercise.
"Get up, now is not the time for you to rest. Quickly meditate and recover.”Seeing that Abel was almost done rehydrating, Winst said sternly.
Ai Bo got up and quickly meditated. He endured the fatigue in his body and entered a state of meditation, slowly recovering. Half an hour later, Abel finished his meditation and returned to his perfect state.
"Not bad. It took half an hour.”Winst was very satisfied with Abel's performance.
" Leader, I have a question to ask."
"What is it?"
"Leader, you guys were so fast just now. As a warrior, of course, it wouldn't be a problem. But why could Brother Brad and Sister Tomato keep up with your speed?”After recovering, Abel asked a question that puzzled him.
"I thought you didn't notice this. I didn't expect you to have such keen observation skills. I can keep up with Leader because I know the Levitation Spell. Although the Levitation Spell isn't like the Wind Soaring Spell, which allows you to fly freely in the sky, it's still easy to keep up with Leader.”Brad was satisfied with Abel's careful observation, but it didn't stop him from using words to provoke Abel.
" As for Catherine, who said she ran on her own? She only needs to use magic to form a layer of ice on the road ahead and let Avril slide with her.”
"You can actually do this? Aren't you shameless?"
"How are we shameless? This is your training, not ours.”Brad curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"You win! But I didn't see any ice on the road when I was running.”
"Since Catherine ran over, why would she leave ice behind? Do you think your magic power is unlimited?”Brad rolled his eyes at Abel, once again looking down on his ignorance.
"Sister Tomato is so amazing. She actually thought of this method.”Abel didn't care about Brad's disdain. Instead, his impression of this female mage had changed drastically. He never thought that Catherine had any strength. She had a soft and weak personality. After being held hostage, not only was she not as angry as Avril, but she also stood behind others with a red face. He didn't expect such a person to have such strength.
In fact, the use of magic depended on one's heart. The function of incantations was to maximize the power of magical elements, whether it was offensive magic or auxiliary magic. However, no matter what kind of incantation it was, to release magic, one had to mobilize spiritual power and combine it with elemental molecules. Therefore, when one did not chant the incantation, they could also use magic through elemental molecules. It was just that this kind of magic did not have any powerful energy. People usually called it life magic.
It was just like how a fire mage could not throw a fireball onto a pile of firewood when they wanted to start a fire in the wild. When they needed water to survive in the wild, a water mage had to condense water elements into water. They could not cast a tsunami spell to get water, right? Therefore, these small auxiliary spells that mobilized elements without using spells were called life magic.
"That... Actually, it's nothing." When Catherine heard Abel praise her, her face turned red again. It made people wonder if she would get high blood pressure if she was older.
"Abel, the knowledge of magic is vast and profound. It's normal that you don't understand. For example, when we were on a mission, there were times when we needed to march quickly, so we thought of this method of marching. Catherine had also gone through countless experiments before she completely mastered this spell. Otherwise, even the consumption of magic power would have long exhausted her on the road.”It was rare for Brad to be so kind as to explain to Abel.
"Alright, chat time ends here. Albert, get ready and start training.”
Abel finally saw what the so-called training ground looked like. It was a small open space in the dense forest. Five thick ropes were hung from the surrounding trees, and a large stone was tied to the rope.
"Catherine, stand by the side. If you see Abel injured, give him a simple treatment. Just let him get up and continue training. The rest of you will each take a rock and push it towards Abel. Abel, stand in the middle. This training is to train your reaction and dodging skills. Also, don't block with your hands, except when your head is about to be hit.”Captain Winst gave the order and everyone got into position.
"Pay attention, Albert. We're about to begin." As soon as Winst finished speaking, he threw the stone out.
In the middle of the arena, although Abel was experienced in fighting, he had never experienced such training. At first glance, he found it very novel and was eager to try. Seeing the rock that Winst had pushed away flying towards him, although it was not slow, it was not difficult for Aber to catch it. He lightly stepped sideways and easily let the rock pass by him, looking extremely elegant and stylish.
After successfully evading the attack, Aber shot a provocative glance in Winst's direction, only to discover that Winst's eyes were filled with a strange look, like a child playing a prank and waiting to see someone make a fool of themselves. Winst's expression made Aber feel that something was wrong, but before he could discover it, a huge rock hit Aber from behind and sent him flying.
"Hey, Abel, are you okay?" Winst looked at Abel who was lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't help but feel worried. It couldn't really be broken, right? After all, he only used coconuts during his training, and only two coconuts died during his first training.
Damn it, this is so embarrassing. I didn't expect five stones to come at me at the same time. This collision is really not light. It hurts so much. Abel, who was on the ground, felt extremely embarrassed by his initial smugness.
"I'm fine... Wasn't it just a hit? Let's continue.”Abel got up and stood back in the middle, but the unnatural movement of his back showed that it really hurt.
In the remaining time, Abel finally understood what the devil's training was. He had no chance to dodge it at all. He kept repeating the scene of being beaten down, receiving treatment, and then getting up to be beaten again. Although his injuries had recovered, the pain could not be erased. Occasionally, if they were lucky, they would encounter a situation where not all the rocks would fly over at once. However, if they were unlucky, there would be collisions between the rocks. After the collision, the rocks would not have a flight path that could be traced. It was fine if they were knocked back. If they were to miss, Abo, who was jumping around in the middle of the scene, would give him face and send himself to the rocks to take a hit.
The one-hour ordeal was finally over. Abel fell to the ground and couldn't get up. There was no part of his body that didn't hurt, and his face had been hit several times. Although he could block it with his hands, there were some situations where he couldn't react at all. Moreover, the iron piece in his hand wasn't for nothing. If it could burden Abel, he would never let him off.
"Huff ~" After relaxing, Abel only had the strength left to breathe. The fatigue and pain made him feel like he was wasting his energy to even moan.
"Get up, don't relax. Quickly meditate and recover.”
Hearing Winst's words, Abel could only slowly get up while searching for the devil's tail that the delinquent middle-aged man was hiding. If anyone asked him what he thought of Winst, he would definitely describe him as a demon with a green face and fangs. Even if he knew that Winst was doing this for his own good, and that he had to undergo inhuman training if he wanted to become stronger, it did not stop him from cursing this middle-aged man in his heart. At least he had to find a psychological balance.
Abel, who was cursing Winst for losing all his hair, slowly entered a meditative state. When he finished cultivating, he opened his eyes and found a sneaky smiling face in his line of sight. His eyes were indescribably lewd and wretched.
"Wow, what do you want, Brad? I don't have that kind of hobby. Don't come over.”Abel, whose mind had definitely gone astray, used his extraordinary ability to walk on his butt and instantly moved to a place where Brad couldn't reach.
"Hmm? Brat, you actually think I'll have designs on you? I didn't have the heart to do it at first, but now you can just wait to die. Don't forget, I'm in charge of the cultural studies.”Realizing what Abel meant, Brad was furious. He was a famous lady-killer, but he was misunderstood as gay.
For Abel's growth, he had arranged a lot of classes. What Abel wanted to learn wasn't just how to read, but he was also worried that Abel wouldn't be able to take it. However, Abel's words had hurt his self-esteem, and the direct result was that Abel's classes included noble etiquette and flower arrangement. Even though Brad didn't know how to do it, there was still Catherine and Avril.
"Phew ~ It's good that you're not." Abel, who was relieved, did not care about Brad's threat at all. He had never been to school and did not know the horror of learning cultural knowledge. Looking past Brad, Abel found a tent not far away. Everyone was resting outside the tent. Will was setting up firewood, and Babasa was dealing with the prey. It was a wild boar. It seemed like they had caught it in the depths of the forest when Abel was meditating.
"Abel, after you're done resting, hurry into the tent and study with Brad. If he's not satisfied with your progress, you can watch us eat at noon.”Sensing Abel's gaze, the delinquent middle-aged man once again displayed his demonic demeanor.
"Don't threaten me with lunch!" Abel's strong dissatisfaction was ignored by everyone. He could only follow Brad into the tent with a depressed expression.
