CHAPTER - 104
Dav: (Standing up) Alright, let's go train.
Selene: (Following him) Yes!
Dav: (Thinking) How many will there be? I think around 1600 who want to train with me today.
(Shouting) Get in position and start lunges on my signal.
Today, we need to do at least 1000 quickly.
(Looking at Selene) Follow what I do and repeat it a thousand times or more until the lesson is over.
Selene: (Ready) Alright, I'm ready!
Dav: (Shouting) Begin!
Narrator: Everyone started lunges, including Arthur, as he was still in basic training.
The lunges were fast, and Selene tried not to fall behind the younger students.
Dav, sweat beading on his forehead, shouted, "Faster, slackers!" and everyone sped up without complaint.
For Arthur, it was a completely new experience, a rather strange training, but he didn't dare judge it.
Leona and Lucas, already more practiced and accustomed, kept going at full effort in silence.
Meanwhile, Eldrin arrived and began observing them train with great seriousness.
After a while, he decided to check on the other groups and help them with their training, giving suggestions.
Time passed, calluses began to form on everyone's hands, and holographic monsters were being taken down by the hundreds by the squads, while magical dummies assisted students in solo training.
Meanwhile, in Lucrezia’s room, she was trying to translate the small piece of parchment that Dav had found in the royal library.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Flashback - The Day Before
Dav: (Touching Lucrezia's hair) When you have time, take care of this and call me when you're done.
Lucrezia: (Thinking) Stubborn...
(Looking at him) Alright.
Present
Narrator: Elysia’s group, mainly composed of Gabriel, Cedric, and Elysia herself, challenged an A-rank holographic monster in long battles without using mana or aura.
The three of them had become the pride of the academy in the eyes of the other students, even the older ones.
Meanwhile, Leo and Fin continued with lunges and parries, using Yang combat techniques and Yin magic only when training alone.
The lesson continued for three hours, filled with heavy breaths and deep sighs from the exhausted students.
Dav: (Shouting) Go rest and clean yourselves up.
It will be lunchtime soon.
Students: (In unison) Yes, sir!
Selene: (Tired) That was really enjoyable.
Will I move on to the next training now?
Dav: (Raising an eyebrow) Only when you've done 50,000 lunges can you advance.
Selene: (Destroyed) 50,000...
Dav: (Arms crossed) Giving up already? Some have already finished them, as you can see.
Selene: (Thinking) True... I can't let myself be beaten by some kids!
(Determined) Alright! I'll finish them quickly!
Dav: (Chuckling) Tomorrow.
Today, go clean up and then eat.
I'll join after putting away the swords and taking a quick bath.
Selene: (Determined) I'll help you!
Dav: (Smiling) Thanks.
[Using magic, they moved the weapons into the storage room.]
Dav: (Touching his forehead) Alright, let's go, Sele.
Selene: (Thinking, blushing) "Sele", heh heh...
Narrator: After finishing their baths and heading to the cafeteria, everyone sat down, with Arthur joining the group at Dav’s request.
As usual, everyone chatted curiously, asking how the training had gone and commenting on the food.
Dav, always silent, preferred to listen and observe.
Selene noticed how he was always surrounded by people, not because of his status or strength, but because of his natural charisma.
She also noticed Iris and Valeria, who, just like the night before, were sitting close to him, adjusting his plate and filling his glass without him even needing to ask.
Lucrezia and Evelyn observed Selene with curious expressions as she watched those three, perhaps out of jealousy or mere interest.
The exam was approaching, and with it, the tournament that would see new Hunters emerge from academies around the world.
Kael: (Looking at Dav) Don’t forget that we still need to practice that thing later.
With Eldrin included.
Dav: (Eating) No problem.
Eldrin: (Sweating) Right...
Evelyn: (Curious) I heard there was a problem with someone’s aura control a few days ago.
Do you know anything about it?
Narrator: Dav’s eyes widened, staring at his plate with a knot in his throat, swallowing as he realized that everyone was watching him without openly pointing fingers.
Even Lucrezia, hands on her face, remembered the event, clenching her fists.
Iris and Valeria subtly poked him, as if to say, "Don't ever do that again, idiot!"
