Training

The first day of training.

Like what Jace instructed them, everyone woke up gathering at the Ground to pick their leaders.

"We have exactly 3 chores as an islander! We need a leader at the greenhouse! At the cage and here at the Castle to finish all the chores quickly!" Grant said, giving each one a glance.

"So we need 3 leaders! Someone we can possibly trust and confident enough to be a leader!" He added.

"Then we're gonna need a leader who can multitask! Someone with a strong mentality!" Julian said and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

They started voting and ended up picking Hunter as the leader at the cage. Kylo as a leader at the greenhouse and Jay as a leader at Castle Grim.

They've also divided the rest of the islanders into three groups.

They decided to finish their seven laps around the castle first then they headed to their respective places to begin their chores.

As soon as Jay and his team came back inside the castle, he assigned four islanders to the East Wing and three to the West Wing.

They started cleaning the dust and more around the castle.

The castle isn't really as dirty as they expected. It just looked like no one really lived there for a long time.

Meanwhile, in the cage. Neil had a hard time looking for RJ among the rest of the sheeps. He kept saying they all look alike.

While Drew and Jacob are feeding the chickens. Jamie feeding the ducks. Seth and Jake feeding the pigs.

Salem is having a hard time feeding the horses. They won't eat even after Salem made a little cute acting.

At the greenhouse.

Kylo's team did a lot better unlike the others.

As soon as everyone finished their tasks, they cleaned up first and went to the Ground.

All the mentors are already there.

VALORS are holding guns and ammos. ACES and CROWNS are holding bows and arrows. While DREAMS greeted them with bare hands.

Everyone was mostly focused on the target except for five islanders.

Jamie, Salem, Hunter, Julian and Theo.

Five of them stood in front of their mentors but their eyes were on the others learning how to use weapons.

"Your first lesson will be how to fight without any weapons in combat..." Steve said with a sheepish smile on his face.

The five islanders were creeped out by his expression but decided to just listen instead.

DREAMS started teaching them some basic steps for the first hour. And the more they stay there longer, the harder their lessons get.

It was the same for the others.

The mentors gave them a hard training not considering that they're all beginners.

"Are you even looking!!? Fu**ing shoot the target!" Yael yelled at Jake who's been failing the most among everyone.

"You're da*n close to the target and you can't even score with the cheapest!" He yelled again and Jake can feel his body starting to tremble.

"Focus! Don't let your guard down!" After Ben said those to Hunter he pulled his left leg causing him to spin for a second and fell on the ground.

He groaned in pain holding his left shoulder. The others tried to help him but the mentors stopped them.

Hunter tried to stand up and continue his lessons.

He's very unfortunate to have Ben as his mentor. Same goes for Jake, Salem and Jay. They're students of Terrence, Yael and Troy.

Those four mentors are the most terror mentors among all.

After the first day of training. The five islanders under DREAMS were immediately brought to the infirmary at the castle after suffering injuries from their mentors.

Lia and Yelena from CROWNS came with them to help treat their injuries.

Jamie and Theo on the other hand felt disappointed. They expected Kamal and Daniel to be nice. But they were wrong and ended up crying after the training. The two are completely crazy as if beating them both. But at least not as worse as the four terrors.

Jake and Jay ended up getting mentally shocked. After the training they couldn't speak.

Salem and Julian met the same fate. They lost consciousness while on their way to the castle.

Hanbin, Jacob, Grant and Jasper. The islanders who were under ACES. They suffered from great insults.

At least Grant, who had the strongest mentality among the four, managed to get over it. But Hanbin who was so cheerful all the time ended up like Jay and Jake.

There they learned that the face is really just a cover to the person's true personality.

Drew, Simon, Sean, Seth and Nicholas. The five islanders under CROWNS are a little lucky. CROWNS isn't as tough as the other mentors. So they were the ones that helped cheer the others.

Kylo and Neil sat beside Hunter who was still groaning in pain. Lia came after helping the others. She took care of his injuries while the others watched and some took a rest.

"Are they always that tough?" Kylo asked with a serious tone.

"Just now..." Lia said and flashed a smile. "Ben is really nice when you get to know him! He's only being tough so he can teach his student well! In this case, you Hunter!"

"Will he be alright?" Neil asked.

"Of course he will! You guys better get used to injuries like this! More will come!" she said and took the medical kit with her.

Yelena is also done with the others but before they leave...

"Will they be okay?" Taki asked, referring to Jay, Jake and Hanbin who were asleep already.

"They will be when they wake up!" Yelena said and left with Lia.
