In normal time, three days had passed, but since the Ents had frozen time in the forest, the timer on the ruler worked the same with the time in the forest.With time gone by, they were now used to the weight of the ruler. Now able to walk quite normally but not able to run, they covered more distance in their journey.They could even carry out some fighting styles with the heavy weight they had on.Krystal, with practice, could now even backflip with the weight of the ruler.They also encountered a lot of beasts on their way, which they killed all of them and ate their meat. This led to an increase in their teamwork, and their leader was doing quite well.In one of their encounters, they met with the three-headed ape.This was one of the hardest beasts, and killing it made them stronger. This was how they killed it."Guys, look, is that an ape?" Vladimir, who was in front, stopped to ask.As they got to where he was, they also saw it from afar, but they also noticed it had three heads

The team sat back, looking at the huge, lifeless beast before them.They never imagined they could conquer such a beast in their lifetime.They were so exhausted from the struggle and fight with the beast that they sat down, still looking at each other.Randomly, they began laughing at Grover and how he was shaking on top of the beast.“I was dead scared, guys. I did not know what else to do. I just allowed the beast to get exhausted, if it was ever going to be, so I could step down. At some point on top of the beast, I wanted to give up and jump off, but I noticed the tail was very active, and I could have been killed with one blow from that tail as it even broke trees,” Grover, barely breathing, said.“At least what you did aided the killing of the beast, and that was quite brave of you if you ask me,” Vladimir added.“Alright, thank you,” Grover responded.“How did you get back to the surface?” Krystal asked Vladimir.“About that, my survival instincts kicked in, and I told myself

The group got closer to the village, and they sighted Shambala. The smiles on their faces widened as they knew their ruler's burden would be lifted off by Shambala as soon as they got to the village.“It seems like my desire to sleep comfortably this night will be fulfilled,” Grover said as he stretched.“That would be the two of us then,” Krystal added.“Shambala looks so calm, collected, and well-rested,” Vladimir noted as they got even closer to the village. “Quite the opposite for us,” Grover stated as they all laughed heartily.“What makes you guys so excited?” Shambala inquired from them with a cunny smile on his face.“Oh, nothing serious, just a little chit-chat boys do, you know?” Grover said, as he hoped the response would make Shambala let go of what he said.At the end of the day, it did; Shambala only asked them how the journey was.Shambala immediately snapped his fingers, and the rulers fell off as if they were not the same things that clung to them as if they would no

The next day, the team, along with Shambala, stepped out of the house and washed their faces.After eating, Shambala instructed them to do their warm-ups, and he guided them on how to do it. They went from push-ups to running different distances to lifting weights.When they were done, Shambala told them to freshen up and get ready. When they finally came out, they were ready to leave. Shambala gave them back their rulers. By this time, they had gotten used to the weight of the rulers, and they were not even bothered that they turned their backs quickly for Shambala to place the rulers on.Shambala showed them around the town as they were about to leave for their next training. He took them to the temple to show them the traditions of sorcerers and magicians. He strongly warned them about trusting any of those in such a practice unless they knew the person before then.“I was nearly killed by a girl I liked so much during my youthful days, but she was a sorceress. I overlooked it beca

Although they did not show that they still had doubts, they went ahead to ask Shambala to further explain the beast to them.Shambala told them that the beast was cunning and spider-like but the limit was that they could not make webs, their legs were so strong that they could smash rocks into pebbles instantly.Shambala went forward to tell them that if any of them should die at the hands of a beast then they are not worthy to be his student.Having accepted they went along with what Shambala said.They finally got to the beast’s territory it had so many rocks broken and normal sizes.Shambala told Grover to go fight the beast.“Go into its territory and make sure to piss it off and finally, do not die,” Shambala told Grover.“Alright Sensei,” Grover responded as he walked away from the rest.“You got this man,” Vladimir said as he cheered Grover on as he walked away.Krystal silently watched as he was so unsure of what to expect, but he knew Grover was not dying while he was alive.
