Self Training 2

" Man.... my body feels numb."

I mumbled under my breath as I sat on a bench under the Leali tree. It is said than, sitting under a tree on a sunny day calms your mind.

I sure do find it helpful.

" Well! Well! you're right. After getting shocked 150 times within a 5 hours will surely make your body numb. But I am interested to see, how much a human who isn't even a 1st Ascension will last?."

Yeah.. have fun you bastard.

Sitting beside me is the most sadist person I ever met. Long black hair and red eyes, a common trait for any demon.

'Ruth.'

All of the twenty three students took part one by one to use the remote. But out of pity or because of their weak heart, they refused to help me in training.

That's when this bastard came in and agreed to help me.

But.... I immediately regretted asking him for help.

" Hey it's not over yet right. The training will continue until 11pm. Now, tell me how many benches are there in your sight."

" 15"

" Correct..., Damn."

Did I just hear him say 'damn'.

" Next, tell me. How many benches are there surrounding the Leali tree."

" But that isn't in my vision."

" Doesn't matter, we already walked down the whole academy. You should me able to remember everything you see."

What the...

I am totally confused, this isn't a part of training.

" This is not..."

" I know, but isn't it more efficient this way."

What.... but that's impossible. To remember everything I saw, even a tiniest thing. This is impossible.

" Listen Rudra, what you are doing right now will only help you when you are fighting physically. But not every battle is fought with strength. Battle with intelligence are the most dangerous and feared fights. No matter how powerful you are, INTELLIGENCE can beat you."

My mind cleared up an a new thought process and a perspective opened up to me as a sudden realisation hit me.

I know this sadistic bastard only wants to see me suffer but he has a point.

If I can memories everything I saw, then I will be able use it for my advantage in coming up with efficient strategies.

" Alright, I get your point. Let's start."

With an eerie smile, Ruth nodded his head.

.....

....

..

.

A boy sat on the ground, exhausted. His shoulders slouched and hairs curly. Students passed by him, mumbling under their breaths.

" Hey look at him, isn't he the new student?"

" He looks creepy."

" What happened to him?"

" Let's go who cares about those orphan bastards from class D."

" But I heard he has a surname."

" I am sure it's a fake."

" I would love to have fun tormenting that guy. Only if it wasn't for that Evan."

I didn't bother replying them as they are all beneath me. Mere insects only know how to use their mouths. I would love to give them a taste of my skill ' Aura of The Slaughterer'.

" I can't even use my skill.."

A student stood in front, casting a shadow on him which he noticed quickly.

" Oh, it's you Snow."

" You sound relieved."

Of course I am.

" I am just relieved that Ruth didn't come back again. I had a hard time getting him off from me."

" You just had to poke where it would sting the most."

" That's a weird way to put it but you're right. But I had to, for training."

" That's a perfect excuse for a masochist."

Ugh...

" I am not. Anyway mind helping me a bit."

" What do you need my help with."

" Can't you tell."

Hm?

Wait..

Snow picked Rudra up in a princess carry as easy as a feather.

" H.hey? What are you doing?"

" Helping you."

" But.."

" I will drop you now if you don't stop whining."

Ugh..

" Please no."

A meek voice came out of my mouth, unknowingly.

" I hate whining people."

" Ok, I won't whine."

" Good kid."

" What the..."

I forget to say what I want to as I saw Snow smiling.

She walked as graceful as ever, carrying me in an embarassing position. I wanted to retaliate but gave up. But the looks I got from other students embarrassed me ever more.

" This is embarassing."

A conflict raised in my mind as I looked at her face. One wanted to stay like this for a little more longer while the other wanted to get over it as soon as possible.

" You know, I don't this for anyone."

Snow said to me, but this time her voice sounded different from her usual cold tone.

Well.... at least it makes me a bit relieved.

" I know."
