The hallway where Maria and I were standing is decorated with red wool carpet and painted in light brown. The lantern was scattered all over the place properly.
I sat beside Maria and watched the water fountain. Behind me, there was a flower garden that Maria stepped into 1 year ago. The bench where we were sitting was made from a combination of wood and iron frame.
"So why did we come here?" She asked. She looked at the water fountain.
"I'm thinking about a training program for all of us," as I gazed at the sky.
"What's on your mind?" She asked me.
"Harsh training program, maybe too heavy for noble like you, but I could guarantee that you won't regret it in the future," I said to her.
She was grabbing my shoulder, "Do I have to do it?" She asked me with her intense curiosity.
Holding her hand, I said, "It's up to you, but it can boost the morale of the others," I convinced her.
"Ok, fine. What we're going to do?" She asked me.
"Meet me tomorrow at morning, wear your sweatshirt," I said as I stand up.
"OK, see you tomorrow, Wilson," she waved her hand.
"See you," I said while waved back.
The next day
"Wilson, are you sure this is not too harsh for us?" Maria asked while running.
"Nah, a 2 km dash is too easy for me," I said while leading the rest of the group.
I'm leading the group, with me in the lead and Maria in the last position.
They all were wearing the same clothes as me. A brown adventurer clothes with body armor, black trousers and a pair of brown boots. I gave them all the same weapon as me.
"Mentor, how long we are going to be running?" Garth asked me while wiping his sweat.
"Until one of you is pass out. Until that we are going to keep running," I shouted.
"Cecile is going to pass out sooner or later," Maria shouted from the back.
She wasn't lying. Cecile's face had turned red. Her nose is full of liquid, and her body was full of sweat.
"Keep going, Cecile!! You have to do it unless you want to be a slave again!!" I aggressively screamed at her.
Garth wasn't wrong, she passed out. I carried her in my back then the whole group stopped running.
"Who told you to stop? Keep running!!!," I said while carrying Cecile on my back.
The group started to run again. I lead the group still, but this time I carried Cecile on my back.
They might not believe it, but we had run for 10 km. I guided them to run to the forest, but the wood was different from the one where I rescued them.
After some time, I heard a sound resembling a body fall to the ground. When I peeked back, it was Maria.
"Garth, what happened?" I asked him.
"She passed out mentor," he said with a straight face.
"We will take a break here, Garth places the carpet!" I told him.
We placed down the carpet the unpacked our lunch. Garth put the sandwich into a plate, but I went barbaric style by eating it by hand.
Garth asked me, "Mentor, why do you eat it with a hand?" As I munch the sandwich.
"I can't go full barbaric if Maria is still awake," I replied while standing up.
I pointed at a lion in the grass field, "you see that lion over there?" I questioned Garth, "observe," as I dashed to the lion.
[Slash] I moved to the lion in as quickly as I could, when I got close to the lion, I used [Godspeed Blade] and slashed the lion with my sword and dagger until it became a small piece.
"See, that's my power," I told him. I pointed my finger at a panther, "now you do it! I will observe," I commanded him.
"Mentor, excuse me, but are you crazy?" He protested.
"Maybe, but sometimes you have to push your limit," I said.
"You're nuts, I'm not going to do it," Garth protested while pointing his sword towards me.
With a strong killing intent, I grabbed his sword with my bare hands, "Put down that sword, or you're going to regret it."
"Ok," as he sheathed his sword.
"Good now do it!" I shouted at him.
He ran towards the panther, he tried to slash the panther but missed. The panther attempted to attack him with its nail.
Cecile started to open her eyes.
"Hmm, this is a good opportunity to test both of them," I murmured.
I shook her body, "Cecile help me. Your friend got in a duel with a panther," I said with my fake panic face.
"Say what??" She asked me.
Seeing her confused Look, I tried to make the fact straight," A panther wants to eat Garth, I couldn't do anything."
She quickly realized the situation, "What??? Garth I'm going to help you," she unsheathed her sword and used her magic to deal with the panther.
I observed from afar.
Although Garth got slashed by the panther so many times he seems to be okay, his swordsmanship was better than Cecile. I think he would be a good knight with proper training.
On the other hand, Cecile was not as good as Garth on her swordsmanship, but it's decent enough to defend herself from the panther attack.
I observed their magic too.
Garth used [Strengthening] most of the time. Sometimes he used elemental spells to attack the panther, but nothing as advanced as Cecile.
Cecile was always using her magic for her offensive. If she got hit, she would use [Heal]. Most of her attack consisted of offensive magic that Maria often use.
Garth screamed his battle cry, "Uraaaaaa!!" And slashed the head of the panther.
The panther was finally dead. Garth and Cecile were laying on the grass. They looked exhausted.
I approached them while bringing two water bottles, "Here, good work out there you two," I threw a water bottle to them.
"You tricked me," Cecile complained to me.
"Well, it gets the job done, right?" I tried to convince her.
"Whatever you said, mentor. Does master wake up already?" Cecile asked me.
"Well, not yet," as I saw Maria still lying down on the picnic carpet.
"I got a surprise for both of you," as I summoned two assault rifles and two military fatigues.
"Do my eyes still working correctly? Is that the black metal road that you used to kill our owner?" He said while dumfounded.
"Yes it is, designation HK416, made in Germany," I said while showing the weapon in pride.
I threw both of the weapons to them, then proceed to give them the uniform and the tactical rig.
"How should I wear it?" Garth asked me with extreme curiosity.
I strapped the tactical rig to his clothes by removing his breastplate first, then attached the tactical rig to him. Cecile followed the instruction without asking me any question.
"How about this green clothes you gave us?" Cecile asked me.
"Ahh, that one is called M81 woodland fatigue. You will wear it in our next training session," I answered.
"Ok," She answered.
"Ok, first of all, the name of the weapon that you're holding is called assault rifle," I said while pointing both of my fingers to the rifle.
"Mentor, look young miss have already wake up" Garth pointing his finger at Maria.
"Nice, we got a new student," I said to them.
For the rest of the day, I taught them how to use it properly. I showed them shooting stances, maintenance, and purpose of the rifle.
Maria asked me so many questions, but most of the time I ignored it. They shot at the mark that I put on a tree.
Maria was the most accurate of them all in a single fire. Garth able to shoot the rifle in automatic without sacrificing the accuracy too much. Cecile was somewhere in between Garth and Maria.
Well, looks like I already have a fireteam.
Tell me please, do you have a good suggestion for the title? Mine is between The First Another World Training Styles and The First Military Training Style. You're free to give your idea in the comment.
