Gym Class

David came in the door, glancing at each person for a second. His eyes lingered on Travis a bit longer, making him uncomfortable.

'What's up with this guy? I know I'm handsome, but I'm not supposed to be attracting the same gender as me.'

David stood in front of the class, took a marker, and wrote his name on the whiteboard.

"Okay, students, I'm David Miller. I'll be your gym teacher. Now, this class won't be PE or anything like that. Instead, you'll be training your body in every single way. Now, I hope you're prepared to possibly die while in my class. Luckily, you have a healer, so I guess you'll survive. Today we'll be testing you to see where all of you are good at and not good at. So follow me; we'll be going to the grounds."

They all got up and followed David outside to the grounds. Travis noticed how most of the girls here were really excited to test themselves.

David had his eyes on Travis the whole time for some reason. 'He seems to be a bit different from before. Now he's exuding an ominous aura that I don't find familiar. Maybe Samantha would know something about it,' he thought.

He then cleared his throat and said, "Okay, now that we're here, we'll start with an easy 10-lap jog around the ground. This task should be simple since all of y'all are Mid Tier. So let's go!"

They started jogging around the grounds, and their clothes were completely drenched by the end of it. The jog didn't take a toll on anyone, which impressed David.

"Good, now it seems you're all soaked in sweat. Not to worry since your clothes will be washed for you. We'll move on to the next exercise, which is doing planks for a whole hour. This will train you mentally as well; your will not to give up will be very important when you go to battle. Now let's go!"

They all went down into a plank position, and David started the timer. 'This is easy, to be honest. My clothes are pretty messed up right now though; it feels so uncomfortable,' Travis thought.

Chris, on the other hand, thought, 'This exercise is very good. With this, I'll be closer to my goal.' It took him a whole three years of school plus another 2 years to be able to destroy the Dark King. That guy was very overpowered with a lot of hacks at his disposal. The last arc itself was hard; he had to fight so many minions, generals, commanders, captains until he could fight the Dark King. Well, he had help from the rest of the party. If he had gone there alone, let's just say the game would have had a bad ending.

After a whole hour passed, everyone got up, and none of them were fazed. Some had done longer planks and still didn't feel anything.

"Okay, it seems that everyone here is fit. It makes my job much easier. Our period is about to end, so y'all should go get a shower. I'll get someone to bring you spare clothes."

David then left, and Travis and the boys went to the showers; the girls did the same.

'Well, that was pretty simple. Wonder why I expected something much tougher,' Travis thought.

After taking a shower, he put on the new set of uniforms and got out of the shower. He saw Kevin standing under a tree looking emo as usual.

"How were the workouts?" Travis asked while approaching him.

Kevin opened his eyes and shrugged, "Nothing much, really. I'm used to this kind of stuff." Travis nodded in response as he pulled himself up and sat on a branch.

'I should at least talk to one of the heroines today.'

In the girls' shower room, the ladies were talking happily with each other while bathing, fully naked, revealing their beautiful bodies.

Grace stood under the rain of water pouring down on her body, her mind filled with thoughts of Travis and his leading nature. She hated it when someone tried to boss her around, one of the reasons why she didn't like Chris. She knew that it wasn't his fault they got engaged, but she had to take her frustration out on someone, and he was the first person that came to mind.

'He's just like me. I wonder how long he'll be able to take on the position as the leader of the class. I'm pretty sure Valentina is already planning something on her own.'

After that, she turned the water off and walked out of the shower, seeing all the girls playing around with each other; her grim expression quickly turned into a smile.

Back with Travis and Kevin, who were currently debating football teams and who the best player was, Chris came out of the bathroom looking majestic with his smile. Kevin and Travis frowned when they saw this.

'Why's bro so feminine?' they both thought in unison.

"Hey, guys! How was gym class? Pretty challenging, right?" He asked as he approached them.

'Why did I make him so cheerful? Uhh, I can't stand this.'

"Nah, not really, it was easy," Kevin answered. He noticed Travis's painful expression and decided to talk for him.

"Well, I found it a bit challenging. So where should we go now?" Kevin asked.

Travis jumped off the branch and answered, "Let's wait for the girls first before we go. I'm pretty sure we're supposed to go to class, though."

With that, Travis and the boys stood under the tree for a whole hour. The girls came out and saw them sitting on the grass while gazing at the sky.

"Well, that's weird," Cyrene said quietly. The other girls heard her and agreed, which made her blush. 'I said it too loud!' she screamed in her head.

Travis and the boys got up and turned around with their faces completely drained of their youth.

"Y'all finally came out. Alright, let's go," Travis said in a raspy voice.

With that, they all went back to class and found it completely empty, as it was the survival period, and the survival teacher was not there.

"Samantha's gonna arrive tomorrow last I checked. While Serena is gonna be here in the next term. So yeah this is gonna be a boring first semester. Wait won't the school get raided? Yeah that will happen, guess I won't be bored then. " Travis thought.
