Strangely enough, the atmosphere around was rather meager even after passing through the jaws of another possibility of death. Perhaps the appropriate mindset in fostering a hardened mentality was what urged to them to remain somewhat sane as any normal person would perceive. From the entrance exam to this instance, the candidates were becoming accustomed to the absurd levels of danger accompanying the path of becoming a Knight thereafter. Even so, they calmed their nerves and proceeded cordially to the rest of the party members near them. While holding the red sword in hand, Inoyva, who deactivated his Amadioha from before, looked to someone else in the group. The fifth member of his party, that being the other male, Ntsako caught his attention. Mixo and the other two girls gathered into a circle. “The first time I actually saw you, you were wearing a cap but your hair is actually lovely and overflowing.” A common accessory used to cover one’s head from the scorching heat of t
"The first part was intense endurance training that will help in gaining muscle mass, and stamina, not to mention other advantages. For this entire month, memorize this regimen. Burn it into your minds. The second part is control over levitation. As this is the most important aspect that gives Knight their mobility, you need to perfect it." I wanted to start off by saying that it didn't go without a cinch… but, that would be far from the truth. Unlike the time when I first floated in air, control was required. First, float up to about 10-meters, straight up. Easy! As to how you land safely, became the hardest part. Within the first few minutes, we continued a cycle of floating up and falling. "My face!" Unfortunately, one student fell to the ground in a proactive position, with his face that bared all of his body weight at the point of collision, as well as the momentum from the descent. "When coming down, pretend to be like someone who does parkour, by distributing the momentu
For Cai, going out on a date with these suitors would be like approaching a "talking weed," simply "a waste of air," is what she portrayed, but it was merely a strategy to force a certain "someone" to stop, and ask her out first. 'She's doing it, again! Does reveling in the same tactic really pleasure you that much? Well, "If you wish to ask me out on a date, offer me a country or two first, and then I might consider it," is a set-off that will hinder the spirits of any who approach her, but is what she saying true?!' 'Of course not! Males are relatively dumb, and often predictable. It's their habitual nature to become anxious when faced with competition. Now, what will you do?' It was at this point that a rebellious glare shook the entire room. Pausing for a second, the mood around Cai and Inoyva was distorted. In a careful deduction, that he was a close friend, that might have shared fond and unfortunate memories with, he maybe was jealous about the attention she received. Altho
After an unorthodox thought of flames and explosions, my mind was more intrigued with perfecting my own techniques. I was forever lacking in athletic ability, but never was I last in my studies of Flame Art. As this was the one thing I excelled at I placed profound serious and diligence in it. However, that would have to wait as it was time for more hellish training. The mere thought of it sent an unpleasant sensation throughout my body. Simply put, it pissed me off. *** 2-Hour Endurance Training. (4 Sets) *** Extreme Trunk Training. (2-hour x 4 Sets) *** Weight Training. *** Sprinting. (200 Laps) *** After another exhausting session of hardening the body's muscles, and spirit, a break was taken. The students never piled up into one group, rather multiple groups spread all around that space. From the scurrying classmates all around the area, two male students sat on a small hill besides a small tree. They had spent half of the day with training their bodies' and breaki
We repeated the same training, regardless if we dreaded it. And, for the next days to come, it was the same grilling ordeal. Surprisingly, on one particular occasion, I noticed that I could lift more everyday objects with ease when compared to before. That meant that my muscles were becoming stronger, with the aid from the body reformation technique. For others, it may have been normal, but to me, I cried a tear of joy. Though I absolutely won't admit it. "On a particular weekend, we'll be visiting the city of Grubsennahoj." Ms. Relka spoke out to the class. *** On the 5th day… The types of classes Knights can be, are a variant of accumulated skills and innate talent. Since all overall abilities are accounted for while in selection. However, through careful analysis when doing training exercises and other types of training, those classes can be identified. Because of their dominating speeds, Cai and Nyiko were assigned as "Assassin-class." Mixo was assigned the "Swordsman-cl
The additional instructor placed a file to a desk with Inoyva's face with other details, and his Amadioha highlighted. He was not the only due to a fact that all other students in Class 12-C were placed to the table along with their highlighted Amadioha. She focused a portion of her attention to them but passed glances towards Ms. Relka to the side. Unlike she, who found it quite interesting, the students' abilities that is, Ms. Relka peered to a hustle and bustle all around. Her diligence as an instructor prompted unflinching concentration to her responsibilities. Interestingly, the additional Instructor would lightly pat Ms. Relka on her back. Her approach was truly sincere but under the rules of ethical behavior, she was overstepping her boundaries and acting presumptuous. "You have a good batch here, Rivoni." Ms. Relka who groaned at the sensation of her body being touched even though only the layer of clothing was the only part touched, shifted her eyes and broke unflinchin
To slay them, even a strong Knight wouldn't have the required strength which would in turn slice their necks entirely, therefore slashing the nape was the preferred solution as this would achieve a similar effect. *** "Soldiers are always as big as a Sykoh. Guards are much larger than a Sykoh, and the boss will often vary in size!" Mr. Pillar would oversee every one of our movements. Despite the fact of that we numbered to twenty while he was only one man, he could tell inconsistencies from what he instructed us to do, with the actual action taken. And he was not shy in correcting these mistakes with more harsh methods… The entire class was focused on slashing and slicing. Students with relatively low cutting power were clustered to deal with day-class dummies. In order to deal more damage, sword training was required. Since our weapons could be switched down to size, until we reach an Abyss, it didn't hamper our movements, while levitating. Cai and I, as well as majority i
Saturday, afternoon. It was that time. Candidates, the students of elite academies resided at their dormitory buildings for the majority of the time of the initial start of the training period, but strangely enough were permitted to go out on the weekend. To that temporary new sense of freedom looming in their grasps, majority of them left to dabble in relaxation and have fun since this was the time prying eyes from instructors could not reach them. It was also time to heal tired bodies and stimulate hormones responsible for pleasure and joy. Setra residence. From the large mansion, into one of the rooms, a reality channel aired in the spacious living room. It was loud enough to encompass their entire room but the sole person in the room was neither listening nor focusing her eyes at the screen. “Ladies and gentlemen! Her debut was the cause of many suitors’ hearts to fall into disarray! Her latest achie
