Training (Part-1)

Zeus simply wanted to curl up in a ball and cry, 'Why why do I have to deal with the likes of her, why am I being used as a punching bag like that, what do this people eat to become so OP it is so unfair.'

Vessha simply patted Zeus's head as she spoke, "Well you did well for a hatchling, but you have long road ahead of you, now I believe you are healed enough so stand up now."

Zeus shakily stood up as multiple warnings flashed in his HUD, ranging from bleeding status to broken bones as a warm light hit him healing him but not his numerous negative status as Vessha spoke with a smile as she suddenly placed a lot of load over him, "Well start running Zeus I will give you a minute to complete a single round, and depending on how much faster you can complete it I will heal you by that much, oh and reverse is true I will damage you by the amount you miss your mark."

Zeus stammered at that as he spoke, "But I do not have that much health I am bleeding and bones are broken, I will die within a minute."

Vessha beamed at that as she spoke, "Well then if I were you I would start running."

[QUEST ALERT: Run Boy Run!

Your teacher has asked you to run along the training ground for as long as she wants you to.

Reward: If you manage to complete a round within less than a minute then for every second you are faster you gain 1HP

Failure: If you manage to complete a round taking more than a minute then for every second you are slower you lose 1HP; Possible death.

Note: You cannot refuse the quest, if you do so you will die.]

Zeus looked at the quest alert with his jaw unhinged before he promptly took off well as fast as a person who can only limp would run and that was really painful to watch, for others well except if your name is Vessha who promptly plopped herself on a chair that looked comfortable as one of her subordinates brought her some drink.

Azi: "What kind of training do you thing Zeus would get from her?"

BlizzardQueen shrugged as she spoke, "Well as long as he grows strong, which would mean our group will become strong I have no complain and I hope it is useful."

CelestialMaiden nodded at that as Slyphy scowled, TacoGirl sighed at that as she spoke, "Sylphy I know you are not comfortable with a male, but please give him a chance till now he has yet to fail us."

Both BarbarianLady and ForestHuntress nodded at that as ForestHUntress spoke, "Yes Sylphy we simply want you to give him a chance, during our time alone we caused a lot of problems for him yet he helped us without complaining at all so please give him a chance."

Sylphy sighed as she spoke, "Well I will try my best."

TacoGirl smiled as she spoke, "Well that is enough for us."

BarbarianLady then turned towards Azi as she spoke, "You two promised us safety but can you really provide us that."

Azi smirked at that as Tarasque replied on her behalf, "You all do not have to worry, if Azi and Zeus wanted so much they could easily make that good for nothing mongrel disappear but they did not because CelestialLady wanted to fight for her freedom."

CelestialLady nodded at that as she spoke, "I am already grateful that you all are helping me but beyond that I cannot ask you to solve my problem on my behalf, I am sorry if I sounded a bit rude."

Sylphy gave her a kind smile as she spoke, "There is nothing to apology...", only for a small projectile to hit her forehead, as she and the others turned they visibly winced upon seeing the intense glare of the librarian.

The librarian growled loudly at that for a moment they felt as if she was going to kill them but suddenly she spoke with anger palpable in her voice, "You lots shut up, this is a Library not your person private gossip zone."

The girls simply bowed as they mumbled out sorry as they returned back to their studies or in other words went back to grinding their wisdom and intelligence stats.

Later that day the entire group was escorted to a there place of stay which was in fact a room big enough for 6 people, as Azi spoke with a slight concern, "Where is Zeus? Why has he not answered to my message and not only that he is late."

BlizzardQueen frowned at that as she spoke, "Mine too as well I hope he is okay, I do not know but that woman seemed a bit unhinged to me."

BarbarianLady: "I have read somewhere before that there were a tribe of cannibals who appeared to be friendly to unsuspecting people then slowly gaining their trust before picking them out one by one, what if we are surrounded by something like that."

Azi: "But if something was like that means Zeus should be dead but I can see him in my still alive in my friends list."

Tarasque frowned as she spoke, "May be they are holding him somewhere, and the message system might be blocked I have heard that the messaging system is temporary disabled in places like a jail."

At that everyone tensed before ForestHuntress spoke with a slight greenish tint on her face, "Does that mean the meat we ate was human flesh???"

At that everyone wanted to simply hurl but it was stopped upon the timely arrival of Vessha herself and upon her shoulder like a sack of potatoes was none other than a badly bruised and battered Zeus who looked to be unconscious, she simply chucked him on a bed as she spoke, "Well I have already finished his training for today, and let him heal and make sure to remind him that if he wants food he will have to go to the mess hall at the time mentioned not a second late or he will go empty stomach.", with that she promptly left as the girls quickly went by his side trying to heal him.

Azi looked at the state of his armor as she spoke, "What did he go through an avalanche the armor is beyond repair and is just a scrap I will have to make one for him now."

A few minutes later Zeus awoke with a groan as others looked at him with concern in their voice as Azi spoke, "Zeus what happened why are you in this state."

Zeus shivered as he spoke, "My teacher happened, she is a sadist who loves to torture she broke my bones and made me run across the training ground, she made me do a thousand push squats and punished me with a spar every time I failed it is too much and I cannot run from this."

Everyone gawked at that as Sylphy summarized their thoughts, "I am extremely lucky that I am not her student.", That only made Zeus want to cry even more.
