Training

After the all-nighter task, Alan wearily made his way to a sleeping bag in the corner of the farmhouse. The long hours of the previous night had taken their toll, and he knew that a brief respite was necessary. With great relief, he closed his eyes, hoping to catch up on some much-needed rest.

However, his rest was short-lived. Alan awoke to the sound of voices. Daniel, one of the rednecks, exuded confidence as he addressed Alan, "Mr. D, are we finally going to see some action today?"

Alan, still groggy from his nap awakened to see everyone was already waiting and his answer was "Not yet, today will be more training."

This response was met with a mixture of anticipation and frustration. One of the rednecks, Ruth the young female eager for a real fight, couldn't contain her impatience, shouting, "What? More training again!? Can't we just train with a real battle?!"

Alan calmly reassured them, "I promised you it would be more interesting today."
