Training
"You're too slow?"
Hahaha
"Move your ass!" A chuckle echoed on the training ground, followed by a deafening slap.
Hu
A groan came from a young man and stumbled forward, trying not to fall. In the end, he lost his balance and fell into the yellow sand.
"Fck!"
He slammed the ground and gnashed his teeth. He stood straight and looked at the lady a couple of meters from him.
"Again!" He shouted.
He didn't wait for the lady to respond before he rushed toward her.
Hmm!
The lady creased her brow and a light smile appeared on her face.
She sidestepped the incoming punch, slapped his arm, and then went for his opened chest.
Bang!
The young man was flung backward, groaning.
"Do you still want to continue?" She teased.
"Of course!"
The same action occurred thereafter. The young man was beaten blue-black. Yet, he comes for more.
Also, since he didn't have to care about injuries. His self-regenerating abilities were higher than anyone else.
"What made him turn into a battle maniac?" A cold voice asked.
"I don't know. But if I can guess, it had to do with his parents." Kelsi responded while her gaze was fixed on the young man.
"You're right. I didn't expect him not to remember his parents?"
"Yeah… Your word against him was a little overboard. If I'm to say."
The cold voice which was obviously Tania kept quiet. She realized that but was too proud to apologize.
"But, he didn't seem to care. Perhaps, it helps him from his delusional thought of having a peaceful life."
"Hmm. Hmm. I can see that…." Tania paused a bit and she looked at the horizon.
"I know what you're thinking. But you've to relax. You have nothing to worry about. We'll always be together."
"If you say so." Tania sighed.
"I give up. I'm tired." Annette pouted, raising her hand.
She wanted to beat La Coasta into submission but he seemed to be on steroids.
A masochist who doesn't care about his body. She was a little scared of the new him.
She left the training ground, not waiting for him.
La Coasta stood from the ground and inhaled deeply, dusting out the yellow sand from his body.
"Are you scared?" he taunted the departing Annette.
"Who's scared of you? But I can't bear your crazy art anymore." She said in disdain.
"Really?" he raised his brow.
Annette opened her mouth but was interrupted by him.
"I get it. Go and relax. We will train later."
Hmm!
She grunted and stumped her foot on the ground, creating a wave of sand. She sat beside Tania, looking at the sky.

[1 hour training with Annette: Completed]
Seeing the notification, the corner of his lips raised a bit and he looked at Kelsi like prey.
Kelsi felt a sudden sense of foreboding feeling and all the hairs on her body stood straight.
She turned in the direction of the feeling and saw La Coasta staring at her. She shuddered slightly.
"Kelsi, let's play."
"No!' She refuted without thinking twice. That gaze scared her.
What!
Everyone was surprised by her refusal. Though La Coasta may be annoying with his bizarre behavior. Yet, that doesn't deter them from training him.
"Are you scared?" Annette chuckled.
"No" She shook her head.
"I'm just not in the mood to fight today." She replied seriously.
'If she doesn't fight. I won't be able to complete my daily quest.'
La Coasta mussed, thinking of a way to salvage the situation.
'Since, you don't want to come. Then…'
Whoosh!
He bolted toward her like a straight bullet. The air vibrated and all her hair swirled backward.
Kelsi tilted her head to the side, dodging the dangerous punch by an inch.
What!
Both Tania and Annette were surprised by La Coasta's sudden attack. Moreover, his attack was going for the kill.
Nevertheless, Kelsi didn't have time to think about the crazy act of La Coasta.
She jumped sideways and avoided another kick, retaliating with a roundhouse kick!
Bang!
La Coasta was flung backward and a red liquid escaped from the corner of his lips.
He stood and licked the red and his eyes shone brightly.
"That's more like it." He roared and rushed toward her.
What followed was La Coasta was pummeled all day long.
However, his crazy instinct was on full drive. He didn't care and for more.
On the sideline, both Tania and Annette were scared silly by the training. Perhaps, it couldn't be called training.
Kelsi didn't hold back on her attack. She was hitting him with every bit of opportunity.
While La Coasta was drenched in blood. His muscles and tissue are torn. Blood gushed out from his body.
The scene was gruesome but no one breathed. They wanted to see how far he would go.
Besides, his tearing muscles and tissue surprises everyone.
What causes it?
Is this the side effect of the serum?

[Reward: 10 coins, 5 stat points.]
[Evaluation: Well done! Continue to push forward. You would surely get there.]
Seeing the notification, La Coasta breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground.
The last couple of minutes had been extremely painful. He wanted to quit many times but when he remembered his goal. He perseveres.
'I can't quit from the beginning' he thought.
His chest moves up and down while perspiration and blood dripped from his body.
He was in so much pain but grind his teeth to withstand the pain. His regenerating ability kicked in but it was too slow for his gruesome feeling.
'You need blood.' A strange thought appeared in his mind.
'Yes, I need blood.' He affirmed. His craving for blood had increased exponentially.
The previous fight had clouded his craving for blood but not now.
"How are you feeling?" A voice asked in a slight panic.
"I need blood."
Kelsi paused for a moment before she stretched her arm.
"Take it"
La Coasta didn't dilly dally. With the last bit of strength in him, he pounced on her arm and dug his long canine into it.
When he sucked her blood, his recovery became faster and his pale skin had more blood.
But suddenly, his vision changed and he found himself in a strange new place.
