Chapter 46: Training Harder
After 30 minutes of rest, we went for our second training session which is to help us increase our agility.
I am looking forward to this as it will help me in combat being an archer. I am planning to make full use of this training.
We went inside when our trainer opened the door to the training room. Our trainer for this session is a young man of 28 years old. He was handsome and had a smile on his face.
Once we went in, we saw a big swimming pool that was filling nearly 1/3rd of mud and water. First, he told us to remove our shoes and get down into the swimming pool.
He told us to walk in the mixture of mud and water and went and sat on the chair near the swimming pool. We started to walk as he told us to.
It was very hard for us to walk and we fell several times. Our body was fully covered with mud by the end of the one-hour session. It was too tiring for all of us.
We will pass on this training session if we can walk the 1 hour in 1/2 filled swimming pool of mud and water without falling.
We went to take shower in the bathroom that was attached to this training room as soon as the session was over. We were unable to take a single step as our legs were in severe pain.
We went to the third session after taking a rest for 30 minutes.
This session is for strength and stamina. Once we entered the training room, we saw a few suits that can fully cover a person from head to toe in the corner of the training room.
There were running lanes in which up to 10 people can run at a time without any issues. Our trainer is an old man in his 60s for this session.
He told us to wear those suits and informed us about the suits. These suits are called pressure suits. It will create pressure on our bodies which will make us think that gravity is increased when we are in those suits.
He said that we will pass the training if we can run 50 km in 1 hour with the 100 pressure point in the suit which is equal to 5 times the gravity of the planet.
We kept the pressure to 25 points to start as per the trainer's instruction and started to run on the lane. It is very difficult to run as it is twice the gravity of the planet.
We all fell on the running lanes within 15 minutes as we got tired. The trainer came near us and started to scold us harshly for not meeting the standards of the elites and being a disgrace to their name.
We unwillingly got up and started to walk on the lanes as it will be better to do than run. I have seen these pressure suits before, but it is my first time wearing them and it is very hard to even walk in even twice the gravity of the planet.
We were exhausted when the 1-hour session ended. We didn't feel like this when we were trained in the military. Now we will get 2 hour break to have lunch and relax. After that, it will be the skills, battle techniques, and combat training.
We will have to regain our strength to complete the day of training. We felt like we have come to the gates of hell when thinking about our training sessions.
We will be training twice every week which will be one day each. After the training day, the guild will give us locations to hunt. It will go on for a day each with seniors monitoring us as we will be fighting monsters that are far superior to us.
The remaining three days will be for us to rest or do whatever we want to do. The training sessions will continue till we pass the qualification test set by the guild. This will be for the first three sessions that are conducted in the morning.
To pass the sessions conducted in the afternoon, we have to fight the monsters the guild selects for us and kill them without the help of anyone else.
It will be tough to clear any of them. I heard from Hoger that the monster they choose for us to hunt will always be a stage higher than us. So we will have to give our all to win it. We will have to fight and kill three monsters to pass this training.
After 2 hours the skill training session started. The trainer is the receptionist who helped me complete the formality of joining in the morning.
We will provide the skill names and abilities we have to a computer interface and it will share with us a book via holo watch to practice the skills properly. The receptionist will monitor our progress and make sure that we do not stop training before the training session ends.
We will be given multiple options on how to use our abilities to our advantage in battle. Since it is a computer interface in a guild, I did not mention my second ability which is wind ability.
I want to keep it a secret and use it as a trump card if the battle is unwinnable. I did not enter any of my skills as I already got the required information from Hoger last night. He was eager to know what skills I have chosen to practice.
I got a huge data transferred to my holo watch from the computer interface. I was never aware that affinities can be used in so many different ways to increase our combat strength.
I know to use my ability to cover myself and my sword for extra defense and attack. But the fire affinity has hundreds of ways to be used in a battle from increasing speed to long-range attacks.
The fireball attack I am using right now is not even the correct attack. With proper training with my fire ability, I can condense the fireball which is currently equal to the size of my fist to thumb size.
Reducing its size will increase its lethality. I am looking forward to it if I can condense the fireball to thumb size, I can create one fireball in each finger and attack five monsters at the same time.
