22. Time

"Seriously?! Is that all you can do, Buchnui?! Even my half-dead grandmother could do more push-ups on her deathbed than you! "

It's been a few days since their classes started. Due to Sasha's wounds, Adam decided to postpone training. She let Sasha's power heal her wounds, but they did it too slowly. Therefore, he also had to sneak into her room at night and treat her using Wisdom.

"Ahem....fuck off... asshole.. " – Ann was suffocating standing in the plank and not moving

Adam was sitting on her back, comfortably seated, reading a book. The girls changed their clothes for sports and this gave him a small overview of their beauty.

" Is that what we 're saying ? Plus 20 more push-ups, Bunchuy! " – he slapped her on the back, which almost made her fall

Their training has been going on for the second day and during this time he was able to identify the limits of the girls. He forced them to reach the point where their body started to hurt like hell. He made an approximate training schedule for them overnight and today is their first, official day in hell.

" HA ! " – Ann began to move slowly

It was very hard for her. She was already not a very athletic person, preferring to lie in front of the TV than run down the street. But Adam was also sitting on it, and he was far from a fluff. Her arms hurt like hell and were shaking, but she still held on and did not fall.

"Listen to my voice, Rebel. Listen and remember while I'm alive."– Adam leaned into her ear while she was slowly doing push-ups

"I am sure that mentally you are now cursing me and cursing so that St. Peter in heaven shakes his head in frustration. But listen to me. If you don't give yourself 100% now, it will be much harder for you in the future. Stop for a second and look at Sasha. "

Ann stood up to the bar and turned her gaze to Sasha. She also did push-ups and it was much more difficult for her to do it. She still hadn't recovered from her illness and therefore every movement caused pain in her body. Sweat flowed from her like a river, because of which she had to close her eyes and slowly do push-ups.

"Look at her. Even wounded, she gives her all. I'll tell you straight out, of all of you I've seen, you're still the weakest. Sasha's physique is much better than yours, she is much superior to you. You are too far away, now you are at the very end. "

He was right. Ann of all of them was the most.....unsportsmanlike. Sasha devoted herself to cheerleading all the time, I train myself and my team. She also worked out in gyms and went to yoga.

Marcie was also a head ahead of her. She trained with her brother, who forced her. Because I was afraid that she would not be able to stand up for herself. And with his disappearance, Marcie didn't stop training. On the contrary, she loaded herself all the time, making her and Sasha worry.

"Tell me, you don't want to be behind everyone, do you? "

" Nnnet... phew.. "

"You want to become a burden to them. Do you want to stand behind while they do all the work for you? "

" Nnnet ! "

" That 's right ! You want to stand proudly next to them and help in everything. So I'll help you. I will take you to a new level, loading you harder than others. Don't worry, whether you want it or not, I'll make you stand on a par with everyone. Ann could literally feel his grin through her helmet

" Jja....help me.... I don't want to... phew..become a burden.. "

" That 's another thing ! He slapped her on the back

" Mmmm ! "

" 10 more push-ups, Bunchuy! " – he got off her back and went to Sasha

Sasha was doing push-ups as well as Ann. She tied her hair in a ponytail and wore a second set of Ann's sportswear. In a few days, her wounds have almost healed, but she still wears a bandage on her hands and on her stomach, he forced her, because he was afraid that the bones might not fully heal.

" Well, are you coping or should I feel sorry for you? " – he squatted down

"...phew...fuck off..." – I was doing push-ups without looking at him

"Apparently not, but it's even better this way. But don't overdo it, you're making Ann worry. He pointed at Ann

Sasha looked at Ann for a moment. Ann was doing push-ups slowly, glancing at her, then continuing to do push-ups.

"The more you try, the further you leave her behind. And because of this, she tries to keep up with you at the same pace. But you know perfectly well that Ann will never catch up with you, right? "

He was right. Ann had never played sports before, except tennis. While Sasha and Marcie were training hard, Ann wasn't doing that.

"If you want to become a leader, don't go ahead as a catechumenist. You have to walk alongside them and set the right example, otherwise they will be left far behind. "

" Don't talk nonsense... phew... for this... there is you..." – she was doing push-ups and looked at him through sweat

"Yes, you're right. I am the one who trains you and instructs you. But I won't always be around. I will be here as long as you need me. As soon as you get back on your feet, you won't need me anymore. " - he smiled sadly

"And then, then a leader should be formed among you. You have the qualities for it, but you're not ready yet. " – he got up and dusted himself off

"Don't run ahead of everyone, walk next to them. You must learn to listen, open your eyes and see, as well as guide them correctly. " – he walked away from her and waved his hand

He took towels and water skins and threw them to them.

" Break girls ! Five minutes and we'll take care of your legs. "

Ann and Sasha immediately fell to the ground and began to breathe languidly. Adam was openly smiling under his helmet and enjoying their torment.

--------------------------------------

"As they say, your body is your weapon. But you will not go to the enemy with your bare hands , will you ? "

It was evening outside. Ann and Sasha ate and sat on the ground and looked at Adam, leaning on each other.

"Therefore, I will also teach you how to fight. He walked up to the counter and picked up two wooden swords

"The sword will be the most ideal weapon for you. The spear must have balance, melee is not for you, and archery is very difficult. Swords are practical, easy to handle and easy to understand. "

He took one sword in his hand, then twist it. He stuck the second sword into the ground.

" Choose who will be the first? "

They exchanged glances with each other and this time Ann decided to be the first. She stood up and pulled out her sword, standing in front of him.

"Good. So let's start with the basics. Desk. " – he stood behind her

"Spread your legs, raise your arm, move your body a little here..."

Adam adjusted Ann's stance, pressing against her from behind and moving her body. From such proximity, Ann's face began to blush, and steam started coming out of her head.

"Okay, it'll do for the first time. " he walked away from her and took the sword

"Hit me. " – Adam stood in a disheveled pose

Ann ran at him, with the sword on the edge. She swung, but Adam just hit her in the knee with his sword, which caused her to stumble and fall. Then he put a sword to her throat.

"Dead. One more time. "

[ BONK ! ] – he tapped her lightly with his sword

"You should not rush headlong at the enemy, first of all you should analyze him. Ann, tell me what you see. "

"I can see that you're relaxed, but it's just a game. "

"Okay, go ahead. " – he began to walk around her in a circle

"Your hand. You're holding the sword too gently. "

"Well done for noticing this. Analyzing the enemy, you have to learn just two things. The strength and weaknesses of the enemy. Everyone has their weaknesses, everyone can make a mistake at least once. "

Adam swung to hit Ann, but she dodged and hit him on the wrist, forcing him to drop the sword.

"You should always remember that the enemy will not be soft. " – Adam is quick, he bent down and threw sand into Ann 's eyes

" AH ! She immediately started rubbing her eyes

"The enemy will use everything to defeat you. Unfair, you say. But I'll tell you.. "

Ann rubbed her eyes and saw the end of the sword near her neck. One more step and he will touch.

"...that you're dead. " - He lowered his sword and walked away from her

"If the enemy has weaknesses, then you also have them. He will use all the tricks, meannesses and tricks against you. He may even take one of your friends hostage and then there's nothing you can do. " - He raised his sword and pointed it at Ann

"Therefore, you have to get ahead of the enemy and defeat him faster than he uses his tricks. So I will teach you DBK tactics. "

He pointed to his brush.

"Disarm. " – then he took the sand and scattered it on the ground

"Blind . "

Then he turned the sword to himself and put it to his neck.

"Kill. "

He spun the sword and stood in a stance and beckoned Ann.

"Remember, no mercy. You can't feel pity for the enemy. You must understand that a living enemy is a danger to your loved ones. "

[ BAM ! ] – he deflected her punch

"You are still children, children who have never tasted blood. " – he covered his helmet with his hand so that the sand would not get into his eyes

"But I will help you. "

[ BAM ! ]

He quickly deflected Ann's punch, then grabbed her arm and pulled her in. He deflected his head, then hit it directly into Ann's forehead.

" Kha ! "

Ann fell to the ground. She felt a strange taste in her mouth... the taste of iron.

[ PLOP ! ] – a sword fell next to her

"I will help you get rid of your childish naivety. " – she looked up at him

Through the helmet, she could see his cold eyes looking straight at her. There was no longer that warmth in them, and there was steel in his voice, not good nature.

"I told you right away, I'm going to put you through hell. I'm not your mom, I won't comfort you. I will not lend you a helping hand, because only you can help yourself. "

[ WHOOSH ! ]

Adam's sword plunged in next to her head. She immediately jumped up and took the sword and stood in a stance. She started walking around in circles, trying to find his weak spot.

"Learn, analyze, fight and win. You are not in your own world. No one will help you, not even me. "

[ BAM ! ]

He blocked Ann's blow, but she began to press on him with her whole body.

"So let's start your re-education. "

[ BOOM ! ] – he pushed her away

"I will make warriors of you. "

Ann was looking straight at him, not looking away. And her nose was slowly bleeding. Sasha stood up and carefully watched their fight, afraid to miss something.

"Go on, child. "

Adam's eyes lit up with gold.
